Abstract

Pure silicalite membranes were prepared on porous sintered stainless steel and aluinina supports. The silicalite membrane showed the high alcohol permselectivity, indicating no existence of cracks within the membrane. The high alcohol permselectivity is attributable to the high hydrophobic character of silicalite.
