Abstract
Disclosed herein are ceramic selective membranes and methods of forming the ceramic selective membranes by forming a selective silica ceramic on a porous membrane substrate.
Claims1
A method of forming a ceramic selective membrane, the method comprising:
- applying a ceramic precursor sol to a porous membrane substrate;
- and
- gelling the ceramic precursor sol, using a sol-gel process, to form a selective silica ceramic from the ceramic precursor sol, thereby providing a ceramic selective membrane comprising the selective silica ceramic supported by the porous membrane substrate;
- wherein the ceramic precursor sol comprises an alkaline silicate solution.
