High Performance Poly (Vinyl Alcohol)-Zeolite LTA Composite Membranes for Ethanol Dehydration Pervaporation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Three-layered zeolite LTA-filled poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composite membranes have been fabricated for water removal from highly concentrated ethanol solution by means of pervaporation. Higher separation factor and higher fluxes are both achieved after adding zeolite 3A, 4A and 5A. Through evaluating separation factor and permeation flux, separation performances of the composite membranes are elucidated in terms of the zeolite pore size and processing temperature.
