Abstract: Supported;and unsupported mullite membranes were prepared by sol-gel process from bothtetraethyoxysilane (TEOS) and aluminium nitrate precursors. Structure, appearance and poresize of the mullilte membrane were characterized by DAT-TG, XRD, SEM and BET. The resultsshowed non-crystal xerogel membrane transformed into the mullite membrane after heat treatmentat 1050℃. The most concentrative pore diameter of unsupported mullite membrane was about3. 71nm.

Key words: sol-gel process, mullite membrane, structure, preparation
