Ceramic membranes for ultra- and microfiltration (review)

Produced Water from Oil-Gas Plants: A Short Review on Challenges and Opportunities

“…This way, ceramic membrane market share is expected to grow in the following years because of its advantages related to the solvent resistant polymeric membranes which can also be used for such purposes (i.e. PW treatment) and this share can be improved by advances in materials, configuration, and operational experiences of ceramic membranes [39,40]. Table 4 shows a comparison of MF/UF based treatments of PW with main focus on the membrane type (i.e.…”

Separation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) using γ‐Al2O3–clay composite ultrafiltration membrane

“…49 In general, the cost of the ceramic membranes is 3-5 times higher than that of polymeric membranes. 50 The cost of the ceramic membranes is projected to be around 500-1000$ m −2 . 3,51 A detailed cost analysis is made and presented in Table 1.…”

Production of ceramic membranes with different pore sizes for virus retention

“…In addition, ceramic membranes do not show any swelling behaviour during water filtration maintaining their structural compactness. In contrast to polymeric membranes, the production costs of ceramic membranes are 3 up to 5 times higher, but this can be compensated by their longer lifetime of up to ten years instead of one year for polymeric membranes [27]. Further disadvantages of ceramic membranes are their brittle behaviour and higher material weight compared to polymeric membranes [28].…”
