Abstract
Silicon carbide (SiC) microfiltration membranes were fabricated via dip-coating on tubular SiC supports with an average pore size of 1.4μm with SiC powder (the average particle size of 0.8μm) as a raw material and PMAA-NH4 as a dispersant. The effects of pH value and dispersant amount on the stability of SiC suspensions, as well as the effects of sintering temperature and atmosphere (i. e., Air, Ar and N2) on the properties of SiC microfiltration membranes were investigated. The results show that the stable slurry can be obtained when pH value is 10 and PMAA-NH4 amount is 0.6% (in mass fraction). The SiC microfiltration membrane sintered in N2 at 1200℃shows the optimized performance (i. e., the average pore size of 78nm, the membrane thickness of 10μm and the pure water permeability of 860L•m-2•h-1•bar-1).
