What are the Types of Membranes Used in Microfiltration?
There are several types of membranes used in microfiltration, each with its unique properties:
Polymeric membranes: These are made from materials like polyethersulfone (PES), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polypropylene (PP). They are flexible and resistant to chemical attack. Ceramic membranes: Made from materials like alumina, zirconia, and titania, these membranes are highly resistant to extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals. Metallic membranes: These are made from porous metals like stainless steel and are used in high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.
