Ceramic membranes are a type of artificial membranes made from inorganic materials (such as alumina, silicon carbide or some glassy materials). They are used in membrane operations for liquid filtration. On the basis of material type, the ceramic membrane can be segmented into alumina, titania, zirconium oxides, and others. Major applications of ceramic membrane include, water and wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemical processing, biotechnology, and others. Ceramic membrane finds application in technologies such as ultrafiltration, microfiltration, nano-filtration, and others. Increasing demand for ceramic membranes for various applications such as increasing demand of water and wastewater treatment projects is expected to propel growth of the global ceramic membrane market.
