  • Metallic-ceramic composite membranes and methods for their production
    Patent number: 9327245
    Abstract: Metallic-ceramic composite membranes and methods for producing the metallic-ceramic composite membranes are disclosed. The metallic-ceramic composite membranes include the advantages of a metallic substrate relative to known ceramic substrates, such as high permeability, better mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance, and the advantages of a ceramic membrane, such as high permeability, high permselectivity, mechanic strength, and thermal stability. Therefore, a three-layer metallic-ceramic composite membrane, including a porous metallic substrate, a first, intermediate mesoporous ?-alumina membrane layer, and a second, top mesoporous ?-alumina membrane layer, is disclosed. Because of the high mechanical strength of the metallic-ceramic composite membrane and because the pores of the second mesoporous ?-alumina membrane have a narrow size distribution and average size of about 2.
