Various fabrication methods of porous ceramic supports for membrane applications
In this article, a general review on porous ceramic membrane supports was done with reference to fabrication methods. Each method was detailed, along with the raw materials used for the fabrication of membrane supports. Characteristics such as pore size and porosity of the porous membrane support were summarized for each fabrication method from the viewpoint of sintering temperature, starting raw materials, sintering aids, and additives. Membrane supports fabricated by various fabrication methods such as powder pressing, colloidal processing, and paste processing were reviewed. This will be helpful for beginners in selecting a suitable fabrication method to shape their membrane and utilize the membrane support for further processing such as selective layer formation, which plays an important role in separation performance.
