  • Publication number: 20030000891
    Abstract: Powdered nickel-based alloys having substantial amounts of chromium and molybdenum are molded and sintered to form tubular filter supports. Metal oxide particulates, preferably titanium oxide, are impregnated into the interior surfaces of the tubular elements and sintered to create 0.1 micron filter membranes. Hastelloy C-22 is a preferred nickel-based alloy for forming the porous metal support, while rutile is preferred as a starting material for forming the filter membrane. The resultant porous metal/metal oxide filter elements have superior resistance to chemical attack in high chloride, low pH environments.
