Spreading-wetting method for highly reproducible tertiary growth of perfective bilayer TS-1 membranes

- A spreading-wetting method is beneficial to seed a support and highly reproducible preparation of the perfective TS-1 membrane.
- Bilayer structure of the TS-1 membrane avoids the leaching of Al from the Al2O3 support and enhances its hydrophobicity.
- Pd/SiO2 catalytic hydrocracking is considered as a novel method to activate the TS-1 membrane.
