Ceramic Membrane Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share 2024 | Research Report
Ceramic membranes are man-made membranes made up of inorganic materials such as zirconium oxide, alumina, silicon carbide, titania, and certain glassy materials which are used to separate aggressive acids and strong solvents. Ceramic membranes have good thermal stability and hence, they can be used in high-temperature membrane operations. Ceramic membrane can be classified into dense membrane or porous membrane. Dense ceramic membrane is used for gas separation applications such as removing hydrogen gas from mixture, or oxygen gas from air. The porous ceramic membrane made from crystalline and amorphous solids is used in micro or nano filtration procedures. The number of applications in the ceramic market is increasing tremendously and it is replacing polymeric membrane rapidly on account of properties such as high mechanical strength, high chemical compatibility, high flux, long operational life, and potentially lower life-cycle cost. Some disadvantages of ceramic membrane as co...
