Abstract
Described herein is a cordierite membrane coated on a monolith substrate formed from cordierite. The membrane coating is formed from cordierite particles which have been processed to have a median particle size diameter of between 1 and 3 microns with a narrow particle size distribution suitable for forming a cordierite membrane on a cordierite monolith substrate. After the cordierite membrane is formed on the cordierite monolith substrate, the cordierite membrane monolith has a pore size of less than 1 micron.

A cordierite membrane monolith comprising:
- a cordierite monolith substrate;
- and
- a cordierite membrane on a surface of the cordierite monolith substrate;
- wherein the cordierite membrane comprises a median pore size of 0.1 to 1 μm;
- wherein the cordierite membrane monolith further comprises a polymer layer applied to the cordierite membrane on the cordierite monolith substrate;
- and
- wherein the polymer layer holds a vacuum.
