Nine Major Technical Advantages of Jiuwu Ceramic Membranes

Inorganic ceramic membranes are one of the rapidly developing high-tech innovations of the 21st century and are a new type of highly efficient separation material. Compared to organic membranes, inorganic ceramic membranes have superior high-temperature and corrosion resistance, chemical stability, excellent mechanical properties, stable microstructure, and easy cleaning and regeneration. They are well-suited for use in harsh, high-temperature environments, offering significant advantages in addressing major issues related to energy, resources, and the environment.

Introduction to Jiuwu Ceramic Membranes

Ceramic membranes, also known as inorganic ceramic membranes, belong to the solid membrane materials used in membrane separation technology. They are primarily made from various inorganic ceramic materials such as alumina, zirconia, titania, and silica, which serve as supports and are coated, sintered at high temperatures to form the membrane.

Ceramic membranes feature high-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, strong anti-microbial ability, large permeability, strong cleanability, narrow pore size distribution, excellent separation performance, and long service life. However, they are relatively expensive, the inorganic materials are brittle and less elastic, which can pose certain challenges in membrane formation and component equipment.

Nine Major Technical Advantages of Jiuwu Ceramic Membranes

Good Heat Resistance, High Temperature Endurance

Under normal conditions, ceramic membrane components and membrane systems can stably operate in high-temperature environments. Therefore, Jiuwu ceramic membranes are particularly suitable for high-temperature, high-viscosity fluids and can undergo steam disinfection for liquids that are unsuitable for chemical cleaning.

Excellent Chemical Stability

Jiuwu ceramic membranes are resistant to organic solvent corrosion and have strong resistance to microbial degradation. Their chemical stability is particularly crucial when dealing with strong acids or alkalis. They can be cleaned using hot alkali or acid and remain stable in such high-temperature environments.

Good Mechanical Properties

Jiuwu ceramic membranes do not deform under high-pressure conditions and are resistant to high-speed scouring, abrasion, and are easy to backwash and clean.

Excellent Pore Structure

Inorganic ceramic membrane components are typically made of multiple single-channel or multi-channel membranes. This structure is less prone to clogging compared to organic polymer membranes and is easy to clean. Thus, Jiuwu ceramic membranes can achieve higher concentration ratios during purification or concentration, exhibit slow flow decay, and maintain relatively high flow rates even when heavily clogged. Ceramic membranes are easy to clean with high efficiency and low cost, with minimal accumulation inside the membrane components, making them especially suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Controllable Microstructure

By controlling parameters such as the selection of raw materials, pretreatment processes, molding, and sintering, the microstructure of the inorganic ceramic membranes can be purposely adjusted.

Long Service Life of Jiuwu Ceramic Membranes 

Ceramic membranes typically last 10-15 years or even longer in their application fields, which greatly reduces replacement and maintenance costs compared to organic membranes.

Low Energy Consumption

Jiuwu ceramic membranes generally use pressure-driven separation or gravity filtration at ambient temperature, requiring no additional energy or chemical agents.

No Environmental Pollution

The manufacturing process and separation procedure of Jiuwu ceramic membranes do not cause secondary pollution to the environment.

In addition, ceramic membranes offer high separation efficiency, stable performance, acid and alkali resistance, resistance to organic solvents, bacterial resistance, high mechanical strength, excellent regeneration capability, simple separation processes, and easy operation and maintenance, among many other advantages.
