Abstract
An inorganic structure is usually more stable than an organic structure towards temperature, ionizing radiations and oxidizing agents. Thus inorganic membranes may find practical application, especially in those cases where organic membranes cannot be employed because of their degradability. Furthermore, knowledge of crystalline structure gives a possibility of relating transport properties to the arrangement of fixed charges, counter-ions and water molecules. This paper, after a general discussion of the properties of homogeneous and heterogeneous ion exchange membranes consisting of cerium and zirconium phosphate, reports the recent results obtained in the preparation of pellicular zirconium phosphate and of mixed inorganic—organic membranes having a “tailor-made” porosity.
