SiC ceramic filters are used to remove particulates from hot flue gases for protection of downstream turbine and regulation of particulate emission in advanced coal-fired thermal power plants, chemical plants, waste incineration systems, biomass gasification plants, etc. [1][2][3][4][5] SiC ceramic filters are used as they have high strength, low thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent thermal shock resistance and are highly durable and reliable. Investigations on measurement of mechanical properties , thermal shock resistance, and corrosion resistance of the ceramics are reported and they are conducted mostly for commercial filters. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Studies on determination of filtration efficiency and the effects of temperature, dust properties, dust cake formation, cleaning cycles, etc., on the pressure drop of the filters were also carried out. [16][17][18][19][20] Successful operation of commercial filters at severe conditions and at higher temperatures for long duration is still an issue and for this the intrinsic material properties of filters need to be looked in depth. The fundamental limitations of such filters are often related to pore-related characteristics, composition, mechanical, and thermal properties. 19 Continuous efforts are afoot for development of SiC ceramic filters with improved properties; however, very limited information is available about such developmental activities.
