A novel intermittent hydrothermal method was applied to synthesize mordenite zeolite membrane. The membrane was synthesized in a template-free synthetic solution using commercially available, economical, macroporous α-Al₂O₃ tube as the substrate. The out surface of the substrate was coated with a mordenite seed layer via a hotdip coating procedure. The influences of the traditional continuous heating method and the novel intermittent heating method on the morphology, microstructure and pervaporation performance for isopropanol dehydration of the mordenite membranes were compared. The impacts of molar ratios of Na₂O/SiO₂, SiO₂/Al₂O₃, and NaF/SiO₂ in the synthetic solution on the preparation of mordenite zeolite membranes under intermittent hydrothermal synthesis were investigated. The as-synthesized mordenite zeolite membrane showed maximum pervaporation performance for isopropanol dehydration under optimized synthetic solution composition with the molar ratios of Na₂O/SiO₂, SiO₂/Al₂O₃, and NaF/SiO₂ were 0.24, 16.7 and 0.25, respectively. The maximum water permeation flux was 5.60 kg·m^-2·h^-1 and the separation factor was greater than 10 000, respectively, in the dehydration of isopropanol/water mixture (9∶1, w/w) at 75 ℃.
