METHOD FOR SEPARATING METHANOL

摘要

Provided is a method for efficiently separating methanol from a mixture that contains methanol and a monovalent alcohol having 4 or more carbon atoms. A method for separating methanol from a mixture that contains methanol and a monovalent alcohol having 4 or more carbon atoms using a zeolite membrane that has an FAU crystal structure. A method for separating methanol from a reaction liquid, which has been obtained by carrying out transesterification between a monovalent alcohol having 4 or more carbon atoms and a methyl ester derived from a carboxylic acid having 3 or more carbon atoms, using a zeolite membrane that has an FAU crystal structure.
