High-quality boron and aluminium-substituted ZSM-11 membranes were prepared on porous tubular supports to separate alcohols from water by pervaporation. The C1–C3 alcohols were preferentially separated from aqueous solutions through the B-ZSM-11 membrane, and the maximum flux was 1.7 kg/m2·h for a 5 wt.% methanol/water mixture. The alcohol fluxes decreased as the carbon number increased. The methanol/water separation selectivity decreased with pervaporation temperature, but other alcohol/water selectivities increased. All selectivities increased with decreasing alcohol feed concentration. In a range of 1 to 50 wt. % alcohol, the separation selectivities at 333 K for the C1–C3 linear alcohols were higher than vapor/liquid equilibrium selectivities. The highest selectivities observed for methanol/water, ethanol/water, 1-propanol/water, and 2-propanol/water were 28, 97, 34, and 26, respectively, at 1 wt. % alcohol feed concentrations. The separation selectivities were based on both preferential adsorption of alcohols and differences in diffusion rates.
