High flux due to ultrathin membrane layer and high porosity substrate.
This results in:
Due to low zeta potential, SiC membranes have a remarkable anti fouling property.
This leads to:
Silicon Carbide is almost universally chemical-resistant (pH 0-14).
This enables:
SiC membranes are particularly resistant to rapid, shock-like temperature changes. Heat can be transferred fast and there are hardly any tensions in the membrane that could lead to damage.
SiC membranes are very hydrophilic due to low contact angle between water and membrane surfaces. Combined with the lipophobical attribute, this alows an optimized oil-water emulsion separation.
