Research progress on modifications and applications of hydrophobic ceramic membranes
Hydrophobic ceramic membranes show excellent resistance to water wetting and have broad application prospects in membrane processes such as oil-water separation,membrane distillation and membrane emulsification.This paper briefly introduces the definition of hydrophobic ceramic membrane,reviews the recent research progress on hydrophobic ceramic membrane modification,summarizes the application exploration of hydrophobic ceramic membrane in different membrane processes,and finally outlooks to the opportunities and challenges faced by hydrophobic ceramic membrane modification and ap-plication.
