Abstract
We have optimized the composition of porous glass-ceramic supports compatible with conducting ceramics and have developed a procedure for the fabrication of such supports. High-shrinkage-potential porous supports in the form of dead-end tubes have been shown to be best suited for designing multilayered selective ceramic membranes. We have assessed the effects of various modifiers on the shrinkage curve of such supports. The factors that play a central role in determining the properties of supports have been identified: the amount of burnout additives determines the macroporosity, the addition of low-melting clay influences the shrinkage potential, leaching influences the microporosity, impregnation with a lanthanum salt determines the shape of the shrinkage curve and reactivity, and modification with Al2O3 sol determines the heat resistance of the supports.
