  • Thin zeolite membrane, its preparation and its use in separation
    Patent number: 6818333
    Abstract: Described is a supported zeolite membrane that consists of a zeolite/substrate composite layer that exhibits, in the n-butane/isobutane separation, a permeance of n-butane of at least 6.10−7 mol/m2.s.Pa and a selectivity of at least 250 at the temperature of 180° C. Said zeolite/substrate composite layer is thin and continuous. This membrane is used in processes for gas separation, vapor separation and liquid separation.
