Outline of Final Research Achievements

Zeolites membranes are expected to show separation abilities based on their ordered sub-micron meter sized zeolitic pores. In this study, influences of the preparation conditions on the membrane morphology and on the perm-selectivity were studied. Application of zeolite membranes to solvent separations and to trans-esterification reaction were examined with FAU type zeolite membranes.
