Abstract
A zeolite membrane complex includes a longitudinal support member having at least one through hole extending along its length and a zeolite membrane on an inner peripheral surface of the through hole or over an outer peripheral surface of the support, from one end portion of the support to the other end portion thereof. Among constituent elements of the zeolite membrane except oxygen, an element with the highest percentage is a main element, and when the concentration of the main element is measured at three portions defined by dividing the support into three equal parts in the longitudinal direction, the concentration of the main element gradually decreases from the one end portion toward the other end portion, and the ratio of the concentration of the main element at the other end portion to that at the one end portion is 0.90 or more.
