Aiming at a more thorough understanding of the influence of zeolite fillers in PDMS membranes on the pervaporation of chlorinated hydrocarbons from aqueous solutions, the sorption aspect of this separation process was studied. Firstly, the sorption of water and five different chlorinated hydrocarbons was investigated in the zeolite and the polymer separately. Secondly, the composite system was considered and conclusions were drawn concerning interactions at the zeolite−polymer interphase. Finally, the sorption results obtained on the self-synthesized membranes were compared with measurements on commercially available PDMS membranes (GFT).
