| Summary: | 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. |
