Other types of Membranes

• Ceramic, Metal and Liquid Membranes

: organic (polymer based) membranes vs. inorganic

membranes

: high thermal stability & solvent resistance

: e.g., palladium membranes  separation of hydrogen

from gas mixtures

: supported liquid membrane for carrier-facilitated

transport processes
