The invention relates to a method for preparing a hierarchical porous zeolite membrane and an application thereof, comprising the following steps: a mesoporous structure-directing agent is added to limit the growth of zeolite crystals, and self-assembled in the crystallization process to generate a mesoporous structure. Based on a seed crystal induced secondary nucleation mechanism, this method can realize one-step hydrothermal synthesis of hierarchical porous zeolite membrane with the advantages of mild and controllable synthesis conditions, simple process, good repeatability, reduced energy consumption and cost savings. The hierarchical porous zeolite membrane prepared by the method has good cut-off performance, and the cut-off molecular weight is adjustable between 200 to 500,000 Da.

A method of making a molecular sieve may include: reacting a source selected from the group consisting of: a source of a tetrahedral element in the presence of a structure directing agent (SDA) selected from the group consisting of: Ar.sup.+-L-Ar, Ar.sup.+-L-Ar-L-Ar.sup.+, Ar.sup.+-L-Ar-L-NR3.sup.+, and ArAr.sup.+-L-Ar.sup.+Ar, where Ar.sup.+ is to a N-containing cationic aromatic ring, Ar is to a non-charged aromatic ring, L is a methylene chain of 3-6 carbon atoms, NR3.sup.+ is to a quaternary ammonium, and ArAr.sup.+ and Ar.sup.+Ar are a fused aromatic ring structure comprising both a N-containing cationic portion and a non-charged portion, to produce the molecular sieve.

A high-purity artificial zeolite is industrially mass produced by carrying out osmosis treatment of fly ash in an alkaline aqueous solution, subsequently carrying out the osmosis treatment again with an acidic aqueous solution of pH 1.0 or less obtained by adding acid to the osmotic aqueous solution of fly ash, then performing solid-liquid separation while water wash and dewatering in a centrifuge, thereby synthesizing a starting composition, and performing hydrothermal reaction treatment to this starting composition.

This application consists of a method for the synthesis of a type of FER/MOR composite molecular sieve. That method consisting of mixing FER seed crystals, MOR seed crystals, a silicon source, water and an acid or alkali, thus yielding a reaction mixture; by adjusting the proportions of the seed crystals added, the silicon-aluminium proportion, acidity/alkalinity and other reaction conditions, it is possible to obtain a dual phase composite molecular sieve within which the proportions of the crystal phases may be adjusted. In the synthesis process to which the method of this application relates, there is no need to add any organic template, thus reducing the cost of the reaction, in addition to reducing likely environmental pollution, thus having major potential applications.
