“…In recent years, porous mineral-based ceramic membranes have attracted much attention in the scientific community for their outstanding merits such as low cost, species diversity and good additional properties [10,11]. Recently, some new ceramic membrane types and applications have been developed [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. These ceramic membranes are expected to be used in some separation applications due to their low cost, especially where the requirements of membrane performances are not harsh.…”
