Abstract
Ceramic membranes play an important role in high temperature gas-solid filtration. However, the thermal stability of the ceramic support at high temperatures has always been a problem. In this study, porous fused silica ceramic supports were fabricated with hexagonal boron nitride as a sintering aid. The results shown that hexagonal boron nitride could inhibit the crystallization of fused silica ceramic particles at high temperature and act as a sintering addictive to reduce firing temperature. The obtained supports have an average pore size of 72 µm, an open porosity of 42%, a bending strength of 16.5 MPa, a Weibull modulus of 8.67 and a gas permeability of 4.23 × 105 m3/(m2 h bar). The bending strength of the support remained 16 MPa after 30 cold-hot cycles, exhibiting high thermal shock resistance. After corrosion in 20 vol% H2SO4 solution for 8 h, the weight and the bending strength of the support were diminished by 0.6% and 24.32%, respectively. So, the ceramic support showed good acid corrosion resistance.
