The PV separation characteristics of the zeolite-filled membranes showed a dependence on the nature of the zeolites. The variation of the acidity function of the ZSM-5 zeolite had an influence on the flux and selectivity of the membranes when compared to unfilled membranes. The crosslinked membranes were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Increasing the PANI content of the semi-IPN network increased the separation selectivity. Among the NaAlg membranes, the plain NaAlg membrane showed the highest selectivity of 414 at 30 mass % water in the feed mixture, whereas the Na-Y- and ZSM-5 (40)-filled NaAlg membranes exhibited much lower values of selectivity, that is, 7.3 and 4.3, respectively for 30 mass % water in the feed. When the flux and selectivity data of ZSM-5 (250)-filled NaAlg membranes were compared with that of Na-Y- or ZSM-5 (40)-filled NaAlg membranes, a noticeable increase in the selectivity for the ZSM-5 (250)filled NaAlg membrane was observed, but a somewhat comparable flux was observed compared to the plain NaAlg membrane. For the first time, PANI was polymerized with PVA to yield a semi-IPN. The total flux and water flux increased systematically, whereas the selectivity decreased greatly from 251.87 to 5.95 with increasing amounts of water in the feed.

Pervaporation performance of the MCM-41-filled NaAlg membranes has been tested and compared with plain NaAlg membrane for dehydrating isopropanol at 30 degrees C. In the studied feed composition range of 10-50 mass% of water, 20 mass% MCM-41-loaded NaAlg membrane gave the highest selectivity ranging between 29,991 and 3332 in the range of feed water compositions of 10-50 mass%. Flux for the plain NaAlg membrane ranged between 0.067 and 0.340 kg/(m(2)h), while for 20 mass% MCM-41-filled NaAlg membrane, flux increased to 0.110 and 0.555 kg/(m(2)h). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reported on the membrane forming properties of an admixed hybrid composite of a mesoporous molecular sieve (MCM-41) with NaAlg used in dehydration of isopropanol, yielding high selectivity to water at higher loadings of the molecular sieve as a filler.
