L'utilisation de membranes pour la séparation/purification de mélanges de gaz permet d'envisager la mise en œuvre de procédés continus et faiblement énergivores. Les performances des membranes étant directement reliées à la méthode utilisée pour leur synthèse/modification, une nouvelle génération de membranes est attendue à partir de la méthode originale de dépôt « dynamique » développée et mise au point dans ce travail, en milieu CO2 supercritique (CO2SC). Les propriétés des fluides supercritiques, intermédiaires entre celles d'un liquide et d'un gaz (densité et diffusivité élevées, viscosité faible), laissent en effet présager la formation de microstructures originales. Les précurseurs sont solubilisés dans le CO2 sous pression puis transportés jusqu'au support membranaire. Cette méthode a été explorée pour : i) la synthèse directe de membranes à base de silice sur des supports macroporeux et ii) la modification de membranes zéolithiques MFI par des alcoxydes (MDES, TEOS) ou par des oligomères fluorés. Dans le premier cas, l'étude des paramètres de dépôt montre que la maîtrise des phénomènes chimiques de la transition sol-gel (contrôlés principalement par la température) dicte la microstructure du matériau final, au travers du degré de condensation/réticulation des clusters déposés. La modification des membranes zéolithiques MFI par un alcoxyde permet de doubler la permsélectivité He/SF6 initiale, sans forte baisse de perméance (Π(He)~10-6 mol.Pa-1.s-1.m-2). Dans ce cas, la force, la nature et la disponibilité des sites acides de la charpente MFI sont des critères clés pour la fixation de l'alcoxyde. Les membranes MFI modifiées par un oligomère fluoré sont imperméables au SF6 et la permsélectivé He/N2 peut atteindre une valeur de 136 à 25°C (Π(He)~10-8 mol.Pa-1.s-1.m-2). Cette nouvelle méthode dynamique de dépôt/modification développée dans ce travail apparaît comme une approche très versatile qui permet de contrôler la structure du matériau déposé en ajustant les paramètres du procédé. / Using membranes for the separation/purification of gas mixtures makes possible the implementation of continuous processes with low energy consumption. Membrane performance being directly related to their synthesis/modification method, a new membrane generation is expected from the original "dynamic" deposition method which has been designed and developed in this work, in supercritical CO2 (scCO2) media. Indeed, the properties of supercritical fluids are intermediate between those of liquids and gases (high density and diffusivity, low viscosity), original membrane microstructures are expected to be derived from this process. The selected precursors are solubilized in compressed CO2 and then transported to the membrane support. This method has been explored for both: i) the synthesis of silica-based membranes on macroporous supports and ii) the modification of MFI zeolite membranes by either alkoxides (MDES, TEOS) or fluorinated oligomers. In the first case, an investigation of the deposition parameters demonstates that the sol-gel chemistry (controlled mainly by temperature) masters the final material microstructure, through the degree of condensation/crosslinking of the deposited clusters. Modification of MFI zeolite membranes with alkoxides can double their initial He/SF6 permselectivity without lowering too much their permeance (Π(He)~10-6 mol.Pa-1.s-1.m-2). In this case, the alkoxide fixation is monitored by the strength, nature and availability of acid sites in the MFI network. MFI membranes modified with fluorinated oligomers are SF6-tight and their He/N2 permselectivity can reach 136 at 25°C (Π(He)~10-8 mol.Pa-1.s-1.m-2). This new dynamic deposition/modification method developed in this work appears as a versatile approach in which the final material structure can be controlled by adjusting the process parameters.

L'objet de ce travail concernait la compréhension de l'évolution des propriétés hydrauliques des membranes céramiques d'UF/NF durant l'étape du conditionnement, et suite à un traitement alcalin. Dans un premier temps, une étude expérimentale a été réalisée par des tests de flux à l'eau pure avec 6 membranes minérales asymétriques (Na-mordenite et TiO2). Ensuite, l'évolution de la perméabilité hydraulique de ces membranes a été modélisée précisément par une fonction mathématique, mettant en évidence deux phases distinctes au cours du conditionnement : une hydratation rapide de la surface des cristaux de Na-mordenite (mésoporosité intercristalline) suivie d'une hydratation lente des pores de la Na-mordenite (microporosité intracristalline). Cette étude a également permis de montrer que la cinétique d'hydratation des micropores est proportionnelle au volume microporeux des couches actives. Dans un deuxième temps, des caractérisations physico-chimiques (DRX, MEB, DFX, adsorption N2), des mesures de propriétés électriques ainsi que des tests de mouillabilité ont été réalisés sur la phase active des membranes de Na-mordenite avant et après un traitement alcalin (filtration d'une solution de carbonate de sodium) dans le but de pouvoir comprendre/expliquer la diminution de la perméabilité hydraulique observée à la suite du traitement alcalin. Les composantes de la tension de surface (polaires et apolaires) et l'énergie d'interaction entre la surface des membranes et les molécules d'eau ont été déterminées via l'équation de Young-Dupré (théorie de Lifshitz-van der Waals des états condensés). L'ensemble des résultats obtenus a montré que la modification des propriétés hydrauliques des membranes est due à une augmentation de l'hydrophilicité de surface de la zéolithe (par la présence des micro-défauts à la surface : extraction des atomes de silicium) provoquant la formation d'une couche ultra-polaire à la surface des cristaux de Na-mordenite. / The aim of this work was to understand hydraulic properties evolution of mineral UF/NF membranes during the conditioning step and after a mild alkaline treatment. First, experimental tests by filtration of pure water were carried out to determine the membrane permeation flux. Six tubular asymetric ceramic membranes were studied (Na-mordenite and TiO2) and a mathematical modelling of the hydraulic permeability (during the conditioning step) was performed. Two separate phases were identified: a fast decrease of the permeability that was attributed to the hydration of the crystal surface of Na-mordenite (inter-crystalline mesoporosity) and then a slow decrease until the stabilization of the permeability that was attributed to the hydration of the Na-mordenite internal pores (intra-crystalline microposity). During this study, it was also shown that the kinetic of micropore hydration is directly proportional to the microporous volume of the membrane active layer. Secondly, physicochemical characterizations, electric properties and contact angle measurements were carried out on the Na-mordenite active phase before and after a mild alkaline treatment (filtration of a sodium carbonate-water solution) to understand/explain the decrease of the hydraulic permeability after the alkaline treatment. The surface tension components (polar and apolar) and the energy of interaction between water molecules and the surface of the active layer were determined via the Young-Dupré equation according to the Lifshitz-van der Waals theory of the condensed states. The whole of these results showed that the modification of the hydraulic properties of the zeolite membranes is due to an increase of the surface hydrophilicity of the surface (surface defaults: extraction of the silicon atoms), leading to the formation of an ultra-polar layer on the surface of the zeolite crystals.

A inovação deste estudo se dá na síntese da membrana zeolítica Y/ɣ-alumina para separação óleo/água. Este trabalho teve como objetivos: preparar a zeólita Y via síntese hidrotérmica, ɣ-alumina pelas decomposições do sulfato de alumínio e acetato de alumínio e membranas zeolíticas utilizando 3 métodos distintos: transporte a vapor e crescimento secundário: dip-coating e rubbing. Os produtos obtidos foram caracterizados por DRX, Adsorção Física de Nitrogênio, MEV, ATD e TG, FRX-ED e Porosimetria de Mercúrio. Além da síntese e caracterização, numa segunda etapa as membranas zeolíticas foram avaliadas no processo de remoção óleo/água de um efluente sintético, utilizando uma coluna de separação por membrana. Os ensaios foram realizados nas condições de concentração inicial do óleo 500 mg.L-1, Temperatura igual a 25 °C e Pressão atmosférica, permitindo observar a variação da concentração do permeado em (mg.L-1) e o coeficiente de rejeição (R%). Para síntese da alumina foram utilizadas os precursores sulfato de alumínio e acetato de alumínio, utilizando temperaturas de decomposição de 1000 ºC e 850 °C, respectivamente. Foi selecionada a alumina que obteve menor custo operacional, ou seja, ɣ-alumina oriunda da decomposição térmica do sulfato de aluminio. A zeólita Y e as membranas zeolíticas Y/ɣ-alumina foram preparadas em condições hidrotérmica, com temperatura de 90 ºC, durante 7 horas. Foram realizadas modificações térmicas (500, 600, 700, 750, 800, 900, 950, 1000 e 1100 °C) por período de 1 e 2 horas no sulfato de alumínio (após moagem, conformação e compactação). Baseado nos resultados de DRX pode-se concluir que: (i) os materiais de partida (sulfato de alumínio e acetato de alumínio), evoluem termicamente, resultando como produto final em ɣ-alumina; (ii) é possível obter a zeólita Y; observou-se também a formação dos suportes cerâmicos ɣ-alumina, após sinterização. O estudo térmico realizado no suporte cerâmico (DTSA) evidenciou que a temperatura ótima deve limitar-se em valores entre 700-750 °C/1h. O maior valor de cristalinidade foi observada para o suporte tratado a 700 °C/1h. O mesmo foi classificado como um material mesoporoso podendo ser utilizados em processos de ultrafiltração (UF). Os resultados obtidos por caracterização das membranas zeolíticas evidenciaram que as mesmas foram obtidas com sucesso independente do método utilizado. Dos testes de separação da emulsão óleo/água pode-se concluir que a inserção da zeólita (Y) ao suporte cerâmico (ɣ-alumina) melhorou o processo de separação da emulsão óleo/água. Como conclusão geral, as membranas zeolíticas obtidas utilizadas em coluna de separação por membrana são bastante promissoras no processo de separação emulsão óleo/agua. / The zeolite membranes have attracted attention of researchers in separation processes and catalysts since they have high thermal and chemical stability, are highly selective because of the potential on the molecular sieve. The innovation of this study gives the synthesis of zeolite membrane Y/ɣ-alumina for oil/water separation. This study aimed to: prepare the zeolite Y via hydrothermal synthesis, ɣalumina by decomposition of aluminum sulfate and ethyl aluminum and zeolite membranes using three different methods: steam transportation and secondary growth: dip-coating and rubbing. The products obtained were characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption of Physics, SEM, DTA and TG, ED-XRF and Porosimetry Mercury. In addition to the synthesis and characterization in a second step the zeolite membranes were evaluated in the process of removing oil/water of a synthetic effluent using a column separation membrane. Assays were performed under the conditions of the initial oil concentration 500 mg.L-1, temperature of 25 °C and atmospheric pressure, allowing to observe the change in concentration of the permeate (mg.L-1) and the rejection coefficient ( R%). For synthesis of the precursors used were alumina aluminum sulfate and aluminum acetate using decomposition temperatures of 1000 °C and 850 °C respectively. Was selected alumina which had lower operating costs, so, ɣ-alumina originating from the thermal decomposition of aluminum sulfate. The zeolite Y and zeolite membranes Y/ɣ-alumina were prepared in hydrothermal conditions, with a temperature of 90 for 7 hours. Thermal changes were performed (500, 600, 700, 750, 800, 900, 950, 1000 and 1100 °C) per period of 1 hour and 2 hours in aluminum sulphate (after milling, shaping and compacting). Based on the XRD results it can be concluded that: (i) the starting materials (aluminum sulphate and aluminum acetate) to evolve heat, resulting in a finished product ɣ alumina; (ii) it can get the zeolite Y; It also noted the formation of ɣ-alumina ceramic brackets after sintering. Thermal study on ceramic support (DTSA) showed that the optimum temperature should be limited to values between 700-750 °C/1h. The greatest amount of crystallinity was observed for material treated at 700 °C/1h. The same was classified as a mesoporous materials can be used in ultrafiltration process (UF). The results of the characterization of the zeolite membranes showed that they were obtained with successful independent of the method used. From tests separation of the emulsion oil/water can be concluded that the insertion of zeolite (Y) to the ceramic support (ɣ-alumina) improved separation process of the oil/water emulsion. As a general conclusion, the obtained zeolite membranes used in membrane separation column are very promising in the separation process oil / water emulsion.
