The invention discloses an application of a hydrophilic Ge-ZSM-5
molecular sieve membrane to separation of an organics / water
system. The alpha-Al2O3 is taken as a carrier, the hydrophilic Ge-ZSM-5
molecular sieve membrane prepared by an in-situ hydrothermal
crystallization method is adopted as a separation material, and water in the organics / water
system is separated through the
pervaporation effect so as to obtain the organics. When the
molecular sieve membrane is applied to an
ethanol-water
system of 343 K, 10 to 98 wt% and an
acetic acid-water system of 353 K, 30 to 98 wt%, the separating factor reaches infinity, the
permeation flux reaches 2.4 kg / m2.h and 0.57 kg / m2.h, both the
permeation flux and the separating factor of the membrane are kept constant in the
pervaporation process of 25 h, and the membrane shows excellent stability. The application is simple and easy to operate, and the hydrophilic Ge-ZSM-5 molecular
sieve membrane is suitable for industrial production.
