A fabrication technique for PIM-1 asymmetric membranes doped with polyethylene glycol for gas separation includes the following steps. Firstly, the coagulation process of casting solution is regulated by polyethylene glycol to thin the dense layer, to improve the hydrophilicity of the membrane structure, and to form mass transfer channels for the diffusion of polyethylene glycol into the dense layer. Then, directional migration and enrichment of polyethylene glycol are realized through capillary action induced by directional water evaporation for fabrication of PIM-1 asymmetric membranes doped with polyethylene glycol in the dense layer for gas separation.

In a method for preparing a zeolite CHA membrane, a gel conversion method is adopted to assist crystallization, seed solutions with different concentrations and sizes are successively coated on the surface of a porous support to obtain a seed layer, a synthetic gel is coated on the seed layer to obtain a gel layer, and then the porous support is subjected to a membrane crystallization reaction to obtain a zeolite CHA membrane. The method skips the conventional stage of converting the heterogeneous zeolite into the zeolite CHA seed, and directly takes a heterogeneous zeolite with the same secondary structural unit as that of zeolite CHA as a seed to directly prepare a zeolite CHA membrane on a support.

The present invention belongs to the field of alkaline polymer electrolyte membranes, and relates to a comb-shaped structure polybenzimidazole anion exchange membrane with high conductivity and preparation method thereof. In the invention, firstly, polybenzimidazole is grafted with the non-cationic side chains to the max grafting rate to synthesize the de-protonated comb-shaped polybenzimidazole material, avoiding the N—H in benzimidazole forms ionic binding with cationic functional groups, which will reduce the reactivity and mobility of cationic groups; then react de-protonated comb-shaped polybenzimidazole with quaternization reagent to attach the pendent side chain with cationic functional groups, making it easy to aggregate to form ion clusters and hydrophilic/hydrophobic microphase separation. The anion exchange membrane prepared in this invention has excellent conductivity, mechanical properties and alkaline stability.

A separation and purification coupled process with a high helium yield and diversified products is provided. The process is as follows. Firstly, a low-concentration helium-containing gas after being pressurized and pre-treated enters a two-stage and two-section membrane separation unit to produce a helium product with a medium concentration by concentrating stage by stage through the membrane separation unit. A part of the helium with medium concentration enters an adsorption unit for further concentration to produce a helium product above grade A.

The present invention provides a continuous crystallization method under control of the multistage membrane modules, and belongs to the technical field of crystallization engineering. A crystallization solution is added to a crystallizer, and a stirring apparatus and a temperature control apparatus are started. After the system running stability, the loop of crystallization is started. Meanwhile, the coolant or antisolvent feed liquid loop is also started. The crystallization solution can respectively conduct crystal nucleation, growth and ripening in the multistage membrane modules, and then the crystallization solution is transported into a filter device and a drying apparatus to obtain the final crystal products. The desired crystal products can be obtained by the systematical control of the nucleation and crystal growth through the flow and the temperature of the crystallization solution, coolant or antisolvent feed liquid, and the contact time between two liquid phases.

The present invention provides a surface modification method based on the polymerization and cross-linking solidification of dopamine and/or its derivatives, which belongs to the technical field about composite material fabrication. The principle of dopamine polymerization and the formation process of polydopamine coating layer are the foundation of the present invention. This innovative method is established after deeply analyzing the failure mechanism of polydopamine coating layer in severe environments, such as organic solvents and acidic/alkalic environments. The critical work is finding out an eligible cross-linking agent which could react with the active functional groups in polydopamine. After cross-linking reaction, the soluble low-molecular-weight dopamine oligomers could be transformed into the insoluble three-dimensional stereographic networks. In this instance, the interaction between polydopamine molecules, and the adhesion between polydopamine coating layer and substrate materials, can be significantly strengthened. After the cross-linking solidification, the hydrophilic polydopamine coating layer could be stable and effective for long-term utilization in severe environments, e.g., organic solvents and acidic/alkalic environments, and thereby expand the application scope of the surface modification method based on dopamine polymerization greatly.
