Abstract

In water treatment applications, ceramic membrane supports have the advantages of excellent thermal stability, stain resistance, and low maintenance costs. However, most commercial ceramic membrane supports are expensive to produce, mainly due to raw materials and molding processes. Therefore, new ceramic membrane supports based on low-cost raw materials and processes are widely studied. This paper introduces different preparation processes of ceramic membrane support, and the low-cost raw materials such as natural materials, industrial solid waste, and agricultural solid waste in the preparation of ceramic membrane supports, and analyzes the existing problems in the current research, which can provide references for the preparation of low-cost ceramic membrane support system and the resource utilization of solid waste.


Keywords: ceramic membrane support, low-cost raw material, solid waste, molding technology.
