Abstract

The current review mainly emphasizes about the importance of water, low cost water filtration applications and fabrication technique. Pressure driven ceramic membranes are widely accepted for water purification/filtration applications. These membranes are processed using conventional techniques such as slip casting, dip coating and pressure casting, however they have processing difficulties for complex shapes. As a result, gel casting process has received significant attention in the scientific community for the fabrication of ceramic membrane. Gel casting process has an advantage to fabricate complex shapes, exhibiting homogeneous microstructure and better strength to weight ratio compared to the other conventional processes. Gel casting processing is one of the forming techniques developed to address the constraints of prolonged binder burnout, geometry and range of size and non-uniform density issues associated with traditional complex forms. In lieu of this, the current paper reviews the gel casting processed silica members and their applications for the purification/filtration applications.
