Water-alcohol separation by pervaporation through zeolite-modified poly(amidesulfonamide)
Pervaporation membranes were fabricated by blending different amount of zeolite NaA or NaX with three types of poly(amidesulfonamide) (PASA). The zeolite-filled membranes were characterized by IR spectroscopy; SEM, sorption measurements, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. By adding the proper amount of NaA into the polymer casting solutions, the resultant zeolite-filled membranes exhibited improvement in both selectivity and permeability in the separation of 10% aqueous solutions of ethanol and propan-1-ol, as compared with the zeolite free membrane.
