Abstract
A method for producing a zeolite composite membrane in which a zeolite membrane is formed on a porous substrate includes the steps of: coating a zeolite membrane on a porous substrate made of zeolite having the same or a similar composition as the zeolite membrane and containing the same template as the zeolite membrane; and calcining the porous substrate having the zeolite membrane thereon to remove the template from the zeolite membrane and the porous substrate at once. A zeolite composite membrane that does not have cracks can be obtained by almost equalizing thermal expansion coefficients of the porous substrate and the zeolite membrane.
