Abstract
Asymmetric porous filter elements can reach a high filtering accuracy with a larger filtration flux, which can enhance the filtration efficiency and reduce the energy consumption when applied in separation equipment. A novel porous material of Ti-Si intermetallic compound micro-porous membrane has been successfully synthesized with Fe-doped Ti mixed powder and SiO2 by the in situ reactive sintering process. The effects of Fe doping amount on the formation of the membrane has been systemically studied. The results show that increasing the Fe doping amount can improve the in situ reactive process and promote membrane formation. The synthesized granules on the membrane are well distributed, with an average size of 1–3 µm, and the average thickness of the membranes is 4–7 µm. The relative air permeability coefficient of the porous membrane reduces with the increasing Fe doping amount. All the synthesized membranes show the presence of Ti5Si3 and Ti phases, with small amounts of FeTi and FeO. The membrane formation mechanism is due to the large reduction reactivity of Fe-doped Ti powder with SiO2, and, finally, the asymmetric porous structure of Ti5Si3/Ti was obtained.
