Abstract: Study on the synthesis and characterization of Sn-ZSM-5 zeolite was carried out. The Sn-ZSM-5 zeolites were prepared from the clear solution of Si(OCH2CH3)4/SnCl4/NaOH/TPABr/H2O by hydrothermal method. SEM, XRD, IR and UV-Vis analysis confirm that Sn atoms are introduced into ZSM-5 zeolite framework. After gained Sn-ZSM-5 zeolites, the carbon tube-supported Sn-ZSM-5 membrane with various Si/Sn ratios are also synthesized by using simple seeded method. The formed Sn-ZSM-5 membranes are found dense and continuous. For 5wt% acetic acid feed, the membrane with Si/Sn of 25 has a total flux of 1.18kg·m-2·h-1 at 90℃ with an acetic acid/water separation selectivity of 4.1.

Key words: Sn-ZSM-5/carbon zeolite membrane, pervaporation, acetic acid/water
