Ceramic membrane filtration is an advanced filtration process that employs membranes made from ceramic materials to separate fine particulate matter and microbes from fluids. This technology is distinguished by its robustness and efficiency, making it suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries.
Composition and Structure
Ceramic membranes are made from inorganic materials such as alumina, zirconia, titanium dioxide, and silicon carbide. These materials grant the membranes high mechanical strength and chemical stability, allowing them to operate in extreme pH, temperature, and aggressive chemical environments. The structure of these membranes can be tubular, flat sheet, or multi-channel configurations, providing flexibility in design and application.
