Preparation and characterization of ZSM-5/PDMS hybrid pervaporation membranes: Laboratory results and pilot-scale performance

•Homemade spiral-wound membrane module is successfully applied in PV process.•Flux of 1170g/m2h with 60.00wt% ethanol for enrichment of 10wt% ethanol.•The pilot-scale PV system exhibits striking long-term operation stability.•Coupling with dehydration membrane to produce high purity ethanol in future.
