The Common

The high sintering temperature of Al2O3 is the main reason of the high cost of the common ceramic membrane supports. To decrease the sintering temperature, kaolin and talc were chosen as sintering aid because the reaction between kaolin, talc and Al2O3 generates cordierite. The Al2O3-cordierite porous ceramic samples were sintered in the range of 1450~1510°C. The microstructure and the bending strength of the samples were characterized. The results show that the content of kaolin is no more than 8%, the bending strength of the porous ceramic sintered at 1460°C and 1510°C are 77MPa and 153MPa, respectively. The further increases of the kaolin content result in the decrease of the bending strength and the porosity. The needle-like cordierite locates in the neck of Al2O3 grains. The reaction between kaolin and Al2O3 contributes to increasing the sintering velocity. The ceramic support using cordierite as sintering aid has the acid/alkali corrosion resistance in some degree.

Before And After

In order to develop porous ceramics with high strength and corrosion resistance as the support for the preparation of asymmetric ceramic membranes, porous ZrO2-Al2O3 composite is designed and fabricated by adding Zr(OH)4.as sintering aid. The content of Zr(OH)4, the sintering temperature and the bending strength before and after corrosion of the composite are discussed. The results shows that 10wt% ZrO2-10wt% Zr(OH)4 -80wt%Al2O3 composite bar fabricated by cold press with the porosity of 32% can be fabricated in 1550°C for 4 h. The bending strength of the composite is 111.2MPa. After corrosion, the quality lose and the bending strength lose is no more than 1%. The tubular composite is suit for the preparation of micro-filtration membrane.

Porous ceramics were produced by compaction method of Nigerian clay and cassava starch. The samples were prepared by adding an amount from 5 to 30%wt of cassava starch into the clay and sintered at temperature of 900-1300°C. The influence of cassava starch content on the bulk density and apparent porosity was studied. The result of XRD and DTA/TGA shows that the optimum sintering temperature was found to be 1300°C. The percentage porosity increased from 12.87 to 43.95% while bulk density decreased from 2.16 to 1.46g/cm3 with the increase of cassava starch from 5 to 30%wt. The effect of sintering temperature and cassava starch content improved the microstructure in terms of porosity and the thermal properties of porous clay for various applications which requires a specific porosity.

Fabrication And Characterization

In this study, fabrication and characterization of ceramic membranes preparation was carried out. Porous ceramic membranes were fabricated by extrusion process from different percentage composition of CuZn on (80 wt% Clay, 10 wt% TiO2, 5 wt% Carbon and 5 wt% PVA). The fabricated membranes were sintered at 900°C for 1 hour in an electrical box furnace with heating rate 1oC/min and holding time for 1 hour. Apparent density and porosity were determined by standar methods for ceramic materials. Phase composition of the ceramic support was established by X-Ray Diffraction analysis. SEM studies of the membranes added at different CuZn were carried out.

Optimum Balance

Support is a necessary foundation for ceramic membranes to achieve high performance. Finding the optimum balance between high performance and low cost is still a significant challenge in the fabrication of ceramic supports. In this study, low-cost fly ash-based ceramic supports with enhanced performance were prepared by the addition of bauxite. The pore structure, mechanical strength, and shrinkage of fly ash/bauxite supports could be tuned by optimizing the bauxite content and sintering temperature. When the sintering temperature and bauxite content were controlled at 1300 °C and 40 wt%, respectively, the obtained membrane supports exhibited a high pure water permeance of approximately 5.36 m3·m−2·h−1·bar−1 and a high bending strength of approximately 69.6 MPa. At the same time, the optimized ceramic supports presented a typical mullite phase and excellent resistance to acid and alkali. This work provides a potential route for the preparation of ceramic membrane supports with characteristics of low cost and high performance.

Flat Sheet Membrane

The porous ceramic support was realized at various temperature range from 1200°C~1300°C using α-Al2O3 as main material, carbon powder as pore-former, kaolin clay and titanium dioxide as sintering aids and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as adhesives. The microstructures of sintered body were significantly affected by the amount of pore-former and sintering temperature. The results indicated that the porosity dramatically increased and the pore radius increased from 2.9 μm to 3.2 μm as carbon powder addition increased from 3 wt.% to 12 wt.%. Correspondingly, their pure water flux depending on the pore structure parameters of the support increased from 1.37 to 4.53 m3.m-2.h-1.bar-1. To prepare porous alumina support with 40% open porosity, carbon powder up to 10 wt.% is appropriate. Sintering experiments showed that the optimum sintering conditions are the sintering temperature of 1300 °C and 2 h holding time at this temperature.

High-performance fine-grain (1-x)BiScO3-xPbTiO3 ceramics were prepared by two-step sintering method. Influences of sintering temperature, holding time, and composition on the microstructure and properties were discussed. The BSPT ceramics obtained via two-step sintering reaches density higher than 95% at a low temperature of 800°C without any sintering aid, and the grain size of the ceramics is also effectively controlled. Excellent piezoelectric properties between the composition of x=0.63 and x=0.64 reveals a probable MPB in this range, suggesting a potential approach to pursue high performance BSPT ceramics.

(Bi1.5Zn0.5)(Zn0.5Nb1.5)O7 (BZN) ceramic samples were prepared by solid state reaction, In order to reduce the sintering temperature of BZN ceramic we have used liquid coating technology to dope CuO by precursor solution of CuSO4. The sintering behavior, microstructures, phase structures, and dielectric properties were studied. The process reduces the amount of sintering aid and minimized the negative impact of sintering aid on dielectric properties. A ceramic composite which could be sintered well at 900°C and showed good dielectric properties of εr=161,tanδ=0.005 and TCF=-398ppm/°C（1MHz）was obtained when 0.5mol/l CuSO4 was added to the (Bi1.5Zn0.5)(Zn0.5Nb1.5)O7 ceramic.
