Abstract

In the previous work1} a method was proposed to make a thin ceramic membranefor gas separation. Later it was found that the membrane could be improved by keeping it in hot humid air for a few days after being treated with a dilute aqueous solution of sodium silicate, and that this kind of membrane is fairly good for alcohol/water separation.
