Abstract (EN): In this study, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to discern the underlying trends for 31 distinct MFI (Mobil No. 5)-zeolite membranes of 11 textural, chemical, and operational factors related to manufacturing processes. Initially, a comprehensive PCA approach was employed for the entire dataset, revealing a moderate influence of the first two principal components (PCs), which collectively accounted for around 38% of the variance. Membrane samples exhibited close proximity, which prevented the formation of any clusters. To address this limitation, a subset acquisition strategy was followed, based on the findings of the PCA for the entire dataset. This resulted in an enhanced overall contribution and the revelation of diverse patterns among the membranes and the considered manufacturing factors (total variance between 55% and 77%). The segmentation of the data unveiled a robust correlation between silica (SiO2) concentration and pervaporation conditions. Additionally, a notable clustering of the chemical compositions of the preparation solutions underscored their significant influence on the operational efficacy of MFI zeolite membranes. On the other hand, an exclusive chemical composition of the preparation solution was noticed. This highlighted the high influence of the chemical composition on the operational efficiency of MFI zeolite membranes. The coupling of PCA with experimental results can provide a data-driven enhancement strategy for the manufacturing of MFI-type zeolite membranes used for ethanol/water separation.
