Three-dimensional printing of high-flux ceramic membranes with an asymmetric structure via digital light processing
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In this study, a novel method was proposed for preparing high-flux ceramic membranes via digital light processing (DLP) three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. Two different alumina powders were well dispersed in a photosensitive resin to form a UV-curable slurry for DLP 3D printing. The effects of the grading ratio on the viscosity of the slurry and the porosity, pore size distribution, mechanical strength, roughness, and permeability of the ceramic membranes were systematically investigated. The thermal treatment conditions were also studied and optimized. The obtained ceramic membranes exhibited a uniform pore size distribution, a high porosity, a low tortuosity factor, and an asymmetric structure. The combination of these factors led to a high flux for the 3D-printed ceramic membranes. DLP 3D printing exhibited a good potential to be a strong candidate for the next generation of ceramic membrane fabrication technology.
