Zeolite hydroxysodalite (HS) was synthesized successfully by hydrothermal method using the natural kaolin. In the first step, kaolin has been calcined at 700°C to the metakaolinite phase. As a second step, the zeolitisation experiments have been carried out under hydrothermal conditions. The metakaolinite obtained has been reacted with NaOH solutions in autoclaves at 100°C. The crystal species were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and morphology of the supports subjected to crystallization was characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Performance of the hydrophilic Nano zeolite membranes during separation of water/Ethanol mixtures was evaluated. These membranes showed very high selectivity of water for water/Ethanol mixtures. Separation factor as high as 10,000 was obtained for ethanol feed concentration of 90%. Total mass flux was also obtained 0.959kg/m².h.
