In this study, nanoporous (pore size: 1.5 nm) and subnanoporous (pore size: 0.42–0.43 nm) organosilica membranes were prepared to accomplish steam recovery via vapor permeation (VP) at high temperatures. These membranes were evaluated under various operating conditions that included high temperatures (80–150 °C), various water mole fractions in the feed stream (0.1–0.9), and various pressures of the feed (130–140 kPa (abs.) or 400 kPa (abs.)) and permeate (~0 kPa (abs.) or 100 kPa (abs.)). A comparison of the performances of nanoporous and subnanoporous membranes clearly showed the advantage of the subnanoporous structure for steam recovery under high temperature. Subnanoporous organosilica membranes showed water permeance of several 10−6mol/(m2s Pa) and an H2O/N2permeance ratio of several hundreds at 150 °C, compared with the results from nanoporous organosilica membranes that were approximately 10−5mol/(m2s Pa) and below ten, respectively. Furthermore, subnanoporous organosilica membranes showed a maximum water flux as high as 73 kg/(m2h) at a transmembrane pressure of 300 kPa during VP. In addition, subnanoporous organosilica membranes showed similar high levels of water permeance for seven binary steam/non-condensable gas (He, H2, CO2, N2, CH4, CF4, SF6) mixtures.
