"Moleculai sieving effect", which refers to a separation mechanism based on a molecule size, ma}- be accomplished by a membrane having pores of molecule size A moleculai sieve is ideal with respect to separation coefficient because molecules biggei than pores cannot permeate the membrane In addition to the separation peiformance, permeation rate or permeation flux is one of the important factors to consider before applying it in an industrial piocess Io maintain separation performance and also increase permeation flux, it requnes a control on the size of moleculai -sieve pore and an improvement of chemical affinity between permeates and membrane suiface That is, size control in the iange of smaller than a few nanometers and hydrophilicity of the membrane sui face is necessary for increasing both separation performance and selectivity toward water vapor therefore, uniformly-distributed pores having desired size and chemical affinity between permeates and membrane become serious pioblems to be solved Meanwhile, with regard to water vapor selectiv e membrane, it has been repoi ted mainly about pervaporation membrane, which dehydrates and separates organic mixtuie at below 150 0C Especially, ZSM-5 zeolite membiane is known to ha\ e supenor selective permeation performance as water vapoi selective membrane foi dehydiatmg alcohol mixture, due to its chemical and snuctuial property Despite their uniform cn stalhne structure, pores of these zeolites aie mappiopπate foi sepai ating water λ'apor fiom a gas mixture of such as nitrogen (0 % nm), carbon dioxide (0 V> nm) and methane (0 ^8 nm) because of their pore size of 04-0 5 nm Further, to efficiently iemo\ e water vapor without going through with cooling-heating steps w hile piepaπng methanol and syngas in the petiochemical mdustiλ , it requnes a separation membiane that can be used at high temperature without lowering the temperature of the piocess
Since the size and distribution of pores decisively affect the separation perfoimance of a poious membrane foi sepai ating gases, they iemam as serious
technical problems to be resolved to introduce a membrane that can serve as a layer for selective sepaiation because of a controlled pore size with respect to molecule size and umtoim pore distribution Especially, for selectively controlling target materials, the improvement in chemical affinity between permeates and membrane surface are also important Iheiefore, it is m urgent need to develop a novel technique capable of controlling pore size and chemical affinity between permeates and membrane surface
The present inventors have performed extensive researches to develop a membrane that can serve as a molecular sieve and also has superior selectivity and permeation toward water vapoi at high temperature As a result, they finally obtained a composite membrane selective to passage of watei vapor bv performing (i) forming a γ-alumina middle layer having a uniform distribution of mesopores with 2-10 nm size and 2-3 μm thickness on a porous support, (ii) forming a silica layer of gas molecular sieve having a uniform distribution of micropores of 03-0 5 nm on the γ-alumina middle layer, (m) coating an active layei of γ-alumma for separation of water vapoi having a uniform distribution of mesopores with 2-7 nm m size and 02-0 5 of thickness on the upper surface of the silica layer, and (iv) heat-treatment, wherein the active la\ er of γ-alumina for separation of water vapor is further coated between the conventional silica moleculai sieve layei and the alumina layer, and completed the present invention
Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a composite membrane selectively permeable to water vapor which serves as a moleculai sieve -with improved selectivity and permeation toward water vapor at high-temperature
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a composite membiane selec tive to passage of water vapoi, wherein a γ-alumind middle layer ha\ ing a uniform distribution of mesopores and a silica layer of gas moleculai sie\e
having a uniform distribution of micropores are laminated in this order on a porous suppoit, and an active layer of γ-alumina for separation of water vapor , wherein mesopores ai e uniformly distributed and Bronsted acidic sites aie foimed, is coated on the upper surface of the silica layer Hereunder is provided a detailed explanation on this aspect tor superior separation performance, a composite membrane for gas separation should geneially meet the requirements of (i) a high permeation rate caused by a thm membrane, (11) a quality separation layer without defects or pinholes, (in) a uniform pore distribution, (iv) a support having substantially no permeation resistςince, and (v) durability and chemical stability Further, a selective membrane should be chemically compatible with the target material to be separated

ing miciopores, and γ-alumma middle layer having a unifoim distribution of mesopores between silica layers having micropores, thus enabling to function as a moleculai sieve and impiove gas permeation rate with the increase of temperature
This membrane, howev er, does not show the selectivity depending on the molecule size which may limit its use m a petiochemical process where i each on \ ield may gieath depend on the water t apor content
In contiast, the composite membiane heiein has the chaiacteiistic of the membiane disclosed in Koiean patent publication no 2003 61146 and also ma\

It is important to select a porous support that can minimize shear stress i esulted fiom the diffeience in thermal expansion coeffic ients Examples of the
porous support include without limitation alumina 01 Vycor glass with 100-200 nm
To increase selective permeation of upper surface of the porous support, γ-alumina middle layer having mesopores with 2-10 nm ot pore size is introduced by sol-gel method Specifically, 0 5-0 7 mol/ L of alumina sol is prepared and the porous support is immersed in the alumina sol at a rate of 1 0-5 0 mm/ sec for 10-20 sec Then, it is dned for 20-30 hrs in a chamber where temperature and humidity are controlled at 15-25 0C and 35-45%, respectively, followed by heat treatment at 700-750 0C for 30-60 mm The aforementioned conditions m coating, drying and he at- treatment processes are preferred to be optimized because they play an impoitant role m forming a quality mesopore layei An alumina layer with 2-10 nm of poi e size and 2-3 μm of thickness is introduced by repeating the piocesses 2-4 times

Experimental Example: Gas permeation experiment
Gas permeation experiment was performed by using selective layer prepared in Examples and Comparative Examples
[Experimental Method]
Gas permeation experiment was performed at 250 0C by using It, CO2, N2 and CH4 (purity: above 99.9999%). Permeation flux was measured while allowing a gas to flow at a concentration of 20-50% in a carrier gas. Argon gas was allowed to flow at the tube-side of the selective membrane as a sweep gas and concentration of the permeated gas was measured by using gas chromatography (model: GC-14B, Shimadκu Corp.) equipped with TCD-detector. A molecular sieve (MS-5, 3m) was used as a column, the temperature detected by an oven was 100 0C, and the detector current was 50 mA. The pressures of both the shell-side and the tube-side were maintained at atmospheric pressure. Figure 2 is a gas permeation experiment device. Permeance of i component, F, [mol-m~2-s~1-Pa~1], is defined as in the following Equation 1 :
Equation 1 F1 = (Q1)/ [(rm)(lmχiVPp ,)] = (J1)Z(AP1) wherein Qi is a permeation flux of i component (mol/s), rm is a radius of a membrane (m), lm is a length of a membrane (m), Pt> and PP/1 are partial pressure at shell-side and tube-side, respectively [PaJ, J, is a flow rate of i component (mol/m2-s), and /Λ P, log-mean partial pressure difference along the membrane length.

' Conditions for preparing final coating layer
Table 1 shows the results of water vapor permeation experiments, which were performed at 250 0C by using composite membranes prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2. All the membranes above showed the molecular sieving effect that permeability depends on the size of each gas molecule: H2O (0.27 ran), H2 (0 29 ran), CO2 (0.33 nm), N2 (0.36 nm), CH4 (0.38 nm). Further, the coefficients of CO2, N2, CH4 also exceeded theoretical values (0.6-0.8) calculated by
Knudsen mechanism, which shows that they are selectively permeated based on not the weight of a gas molecule but the size of a gas molecule.
As verified in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the chemical modification of a silica coating layer with alumina sol increased water vapor permeation and selectivity by three times, which means the hydrophilicity of the selective membrane surface is increased by the chemical modification. Further, membrane of Comparative Example 2 showed high selectivity with low permeation, while that of Comparative Example 1 has an improved permeation with deteriorated selectivity.
Therefore, it was verified that the membrane of the present invention shows much improved selectivity and permeation.
The composite membrane selective to passage of water vapor of the present invention hat, a multi-layered structure where a γ-alumma middle layer and a silica layer as a gas molecular sieve are laminated in this oidei on a porous suppoit, and an active layer of γ-alumma for separation of water vapor with thin thickness is coated on the upper surface of the silica layer as a gas molecular sieve Fuither, it is capable of serving as a molecular sieve that selectively permeates water vapor out of a gas mixture at high-temperature with excellent efficiency to be used m the process of removing, separating and purif} mg a gas mixture comprising water vapor with a tempei ature higher than 200 °C and in the field of a catalytic membrane reactor for dehydiation at high temperature
