Introduction

Azumi Hirane is a talented inventor based in Nagoya-City, Japan. She has made significant contributions to the fields of ceramic materials and zeolite membranes. Although she currently holds no granted patents, her innovative ideas are reflected in her latest patent applications.

Latest Patent Applications

Hirane's recent patent applications include two notable inventions. The first is a **CERAMIC BASE MATERIAL, CERAMIC SUPPORT, AND SEPARATION MEMBRANE COMPLEX**. This invention describes a base material utilized for supporting a separation membrane, which consists of a plurality of coarse particles and fine particles. The coarse particles have a diameter of greater than or equal to 30 μm, while the fine particles range from 1 μm to less than 30 μm. The coarse particle ratio is maintained between 0.05 and 0.3, with an average aspect ratio of the coarse particles between 1.5 and 2.

The second application is for a **ZEOLITE MEMBRANE COMPLEX AND SEPARATION METHOD**. This invention features a zeolite membrane complex that includes a porous support and a zeolite membrane formed on it. The zeolite membrane consists of a low-density layer and a dense layer, with the dense layer containing a higher percentage of zeolite crystals. The average aspect ratio of the zeolite crystals in the dense layer ranges from 2 to 4. Additionally, at least 20% of the zeolite crystals on the surface of the dense layer exhibit a triangular shape.
