Abstract

In this article, composite membranes of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with zeolites of three different pore sizes of 0, 3, and 4 Å were prepared and studied. The molecular sieving effect of the zeolite on the permeation of water vapor and CO2, the efficiency of total heat exchange and the morphology, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the membranes were investigated related to their compositions.
