Their narrow pore windows and nearly unlimited structural and chemical features have made these materials of significant interest for membrane-based gas separations. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) represent the largest known class of porous crystalline materials ever synthesized. This review emphasizes on finding a set of parameter and nanomaterial as a possible approach for future TFNC development. A performance plot of IPA dehydration from recent works has been provided within this paper as a benchmark for researchers to compare their findings. Recent works on Thin Film Nanocomposite (TFNC) membranes showed that there is still a gap in factors or parameters involved in TFNC synthesis, which the same old weakness of membrane swelling, flux loss, and selectivity deficit seem left to be discovered. Discussion on substrate choice and fillers incorporating in respective polymers and how significant both materials in PV application has been scrutinized. This comprehensive review highlights polymeric membranes' current development, specifically on thin film nanocomposite membranes for alcohol dehydration via pervaporation (PV). Polymeric membranes separation among the new and reliable separation and purification techniques in terms of energy consumption, ease of the process, and high selectivity due to polymer properties can be tailored to specific needs. The prepared network porous structure mullite supports exhibited a high pure water permeance of 3324 L m ² h ¹ bar ¹, open porosity of 41.8% and a mean pore size of 1.36 µm which was ideal for the preparation of the NaA zeolite membrane. Thus, a network porous structure of the mullite support could be formed during sintering process. The results of the experiment showed that silica in the natural clay was reacted by the Al 2 O 3 precursor additives, producing a needle-like mullite in situ that served as a rigid skeleton porous structure for the support. Using the resulting porous mullite support, the effects of the firing temperature on the permeability and pore structure of the support were investigated extensively. During the preparation of the support for the NaA zeolite membrane, additives, such as Al 2 O 3, Al(OH) 3 and AlF 3, were combined with kaolin clay and used as alumina precursors.

In this paper, the direct synthesis of NaA zeolite membrane on a novel low-cost support via an in situ reaction by utilizing natural clay can enable a significant reduction in manufacturing costs. The membrane support is the basis for the preparation and application of the zeolite membrane and its cost and properties directly determine the performance of the zeolite membrane as well as its industrial applications.
