Ceramic membranes are artificial membranes made from inorganic materials such as titania, alumina, silica, zirconia, and others. Titania and zirconia are more stable materials as compared to alumina and silica. Ceramic membranes usually have an asymmetrical structure with multiple porosity levels. On the basis of layers, several porosity pore sizes are available for specific filtration needs such as microfiltration, ultra-filtration, and nanofiltration. All elements in a membrane are housed together and can withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and extreme acidity or alkalinity. These key attributes such as high chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability, coupled with biologically inert nature provides a competitive advantage over polymeric and other inorganic membranes. Ceramic membranes are therefore, used in wide range of applications such as water treatment, wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, chemicals, textiles, and other industrial applications. Each industry has its typical requirements and offers opportunities for use of ceramic membranes.
