TiO2-ZrO2 nanofiltration membranes were successfully prepared using a sol-gel method. Two types of TiO2-ZrO2 sols (polymeric and colloidal sols) with molar ratios of 5/5 were coated onto alpha-Al2O3 cylindrical porous supports followed by firing at different temperatures. The structures of the membranes were amorphous up to a firing temperature of 500 degrees C. Measurements of the N-2 permeance and water permeability revealed that values for average pore size, N2 permeance, and water permeability (L-p) of the prepared membranes were increased with increases in the firing temperature, and a drastic increase was observed at the temperature of transformation from an amorphous to a crystalline phase. For the membranes fired at 200-600 degrees C, the average pore size and N2 permeance was 0.5-0.8 nm and 0.14-0.54 x 10(-5) mol/(m(2) s Pa), respectively; nanofiltration performance showed molecular weight cut-offs (MWCOs) of 200-810 g/mol, and L-p of 2-12 x 10(-12) m(3)/(m(2) s Pa), respectively. In the present study, values for the structure and separation performance of the membranes were successfully controlled via the use of different sizes of sols and by manipulating the firing temperature.
