Abstract

The separation performance of the commercial ceramic membrane and selfsynthesized zeolite A membrane was studied for the recovery of alcohol from alcohol-water mixture using pervaporation method. Zeolite A membrane was synthesized on �-alumina tubular and disc-shaped supports using the microwave synthesis method. The seeding effect on the membrane synthesis was investigated. The synthesized zeolite membranes were characterized by XRD (structure), SEM (membrane thickness) and TGA (thermal stability). Pervaporation experiments at different operating conditions were conducted to evaluate the membrane separation performance. The results showed that the performance for the membrane synthesized with seeding was much better than those synthesized without seeding.
