Pervaporation　could　be　a　cost　competitive　process　for　separating　aromatic/aliphatic　hydrocarbon　mixtures　in　the　chemical　industry.　In　this　study,　commercial　poly(ether-block-amide)　(PEBA)　and　ceramic　tubular　substrates　were　used　to　prepare　pervaporation　membrane　for　separating　aromatic/aliphatic　mixtures　through　a　facile　thermal　crosslinking　method.　The　adsorption　and　diffusion　properties　of　toluene　and　n-heptane　in　PEBA　were　determined　by　swelling　experiment　and　inverse　gas　chromatography　technique.　FIR　and　XRD　were　used　to　investigate　the　hydrogen　bonding　and　crystallinity　of　PEBA　molecule　through　thermal　crosslinking.　The　morphology　and　structure　of　PEBA/ceramic　composite　membrane　were　characterized　by　SEM　and　EDX.　The　separation　performance　of　the　composite　membrane　can　be　adjusted　by　controlling　PEBA　concentration,　thermal　crosslinking　temperature　and　time　Ceramic　tubular　substrate　could　suppress　the　excessive　swelling　and　thereby　enhance　the　stability　of　the　membrane.　Furthermore,　different　types　of　fillers　were　incorporated　into　PEBA　matrix　to　improve　the　separation　performance.　The　results　demonstrate　that　PEBA/graphite　hybrid　membrane　has　the　highest　separation　factor　for　separating　50　wt%　tolueneln-heptane　mixtures.　This　study　is　expected　to　extend　the　membrane　material　and　simplify　the　membrane　preparation　procedures　in　aromatic/aliphatic　pervaporation　fields.　(C)　2015　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
