Abstract:
 The alumina with average particle size of 300 nm was used to prepare the stable dispersion after ultrasonic treatment, and then was dip-coated on the inner side of the substrate with pore size of 1 μm (based on the Hagen–Poiseuille and Darcy equation). After specific thermal treatment process, the defect free microfiltration membranes without obvious macropore were fabricated by one step. The results showed that the solid content of the dispersion, viscosity and the dipping time had great effect on the membrane thickness. When the time of ultrasonic treatment was over 20 min, the membrane thickness was over 40 μm and the sintering temperature was 1050 oC, the average pore size of microfiltration membranes was 100 nm and the maximum pore size was around 300 nm. The permeability was about 4000 Lm-2h-1MPa-1. Subsequently, the microfiltration membranes as sub-layers were applied to the fabrication of the ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes. The substrate with pore size of 1 μm greatly simplified the nanofiltration membrane preparation process, reduced the energy consumption, and improved practical application value of the ceramic nanofiltration membranes. This work provided an easy and cost-effective technique for the preparation and scaling-up of asymmetric tubular nanofiltration membranes.
