Technical Introduction
Solid–liquid separation in particle suspensions is a common unit operation in chemical engineering, encompassing the purification of raw materials and products, the recovery of valuable ultrafine particles from wastewater, and the separation of fine particulate catalysts from feedstocks or products.
Due to the small particle size of powders, their washing and separation pose significant challenges for industrial-scale production. Ceramic membrane technology enables the retention, washing, and concentration of nanoscale powders, substantially enhancing product stability and yield.
