Parametric studies on the performance of LTA zeolite membrane in water/alcohol pervaporation

In this work, NaA zeolite membrane were synthesized via hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The successful application of A-type zeolite membranes in theindustrial market has thus far been restricted to the pervaporative dehydration of solvent streams inengineering industries. This paper presents the results of research aimed at characterizing the behavior of NaA zeolite membrane, accompanied by the effect of different parameter on the selectivity of the prepared membranes using experimental design Taguchi method.
