Abstract: The MCM-22 zeolite membrane was synthesized on an iron-chromium-aluminum alloy foil by the hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the surface properties of the support had an important effect on the formation of the MCM-22 zeolite membrane. The MCM-22 zeolite membrane grew much better on the alloy foil treated with acid. The precoating of Al2O3 colloid on the alloy foil could enhance the interaction between the MCM-22 zeolite membrane and the support. The amount of the mother liquid was also an important factor affecting the formation of the MCM-22 zeolite membrane, and a high quality MCM-22 zeolite membrane could be obatined with more mother liquid. If the mother liquid was not enough, there was no MCM-22 zeolite membrane formed.
