In a previous work, sodium alginate dense membranes demonstrated a good combination of selectivity and permeation flux for dehydrating organic solvents by pervaporation. In this article, the pervaporation performances of alginate composite membranes has been investigated to find out the best conditi

β¦ Synopsis
X-type zeolite membranes were prepared by a template-free method on porous tubular supports. The best membrane was prepared as one zeolite layer on a c-Al 2 O 3 support and it had a tri-isopropyl benzene pervaporation flux of 2.3 g/ m 2 h at 300 K. This membrane separated 1,3-propanediol from glycerol in aqueous mixtures by pervaporation; at 308 K, the total flux was 2.7 kg/m 2 h, and the 1,3-propanediol/glycerol selectivity was 41. All the component fluxes and the 1,3-propanediol/glycerol selectivity increased with temperature, but the water flux increased faster than fluxes of the other species. The high 1,3-propanediol/glycerol selectivity was due to preferential adsorption of 1,3-propanediol.
