The present invention discloses a production method for a zeolite shaped
body in which a tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) solution and
tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPABr) are added to a silica sol, an
obtained prepared solution is heated under a condition that
crystallization and/or precipitation does not occur in the prepared
solution in a sealed vessel, the heated prepared solution is dried, an
obtained dry gel is shaped, and the shaped dry gel is subjected to
crystallization treatment in steam, and it is possible to efficiently
produce a zeolite shaped body on which a zeolite membrane can be formed
and maintained without generating any crack, and which satisfies both
reduction of pressure loss and maintenance or improvement of mechanical
strength, when used as a gas separation membrane such as a molecular
sieve membrane or a pervaporation membrane.
