Abstract

The thermal and hydrothermal stability of mesoporous membranes was studied in terms of gas permeability, pore structure, and surface microstructure. The hydrothermal stability of La2O3-doped Ga2O3-Al2O3 mesoporous membrane significantly improved as compared to mesoporous γ-Al2O3, while the pore system remained highly ordered. The fabricated mesoporous membrane exhibited high hydrothermal stability at 500°C for a very long service period. Hydrothermal test demonstrated that the membrane prepared is viable for use as an intermediate layer for fabricating a microporous gas separation membrane. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 22nd Annual Saudi-Japan Symposium on Catalysts in Petroleum Refining and Petrochemicals 2012 (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia 11/25-26/2012).
