High-performance mordenite membranes were prepared in fluoride media on porous tubular mullite supports by a single hydrothermal synthesis. Mordenite membranes and powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) and contact angle with water droplets. The microstructure (i.e. hydrophilicity and crystal morphology) and pervaporation (PV) performance were influenced by the fluoride source and synthesis temperature. The F-19 MAS NM R evidence shows the fluorine anion is present in channels of the mordenite crystal as a counterion of cations. Eight mordenite membranes (M-3 serial) prepared using NH4F-modified gels exhibited high fluxes of 1.50 +/- 0.25 kg m(-2) h(-1) together with high separation factors of 1380 +/- 110 for a water/ethanol (10/90 wt.%) mixture at 75 degrees C. The membranes also displayed good water-selective for the water/i-propanol mixture. The high performance is attributed to the thin zeolite layer and good surface hydrophilicity of mordenite membranes prepared in fluoride media. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
