State-of-the-Art Ceramic Membranes for Oily Wastewater Treatment: Modification and Application

Membrane filtration is considered to be one of the most promising methods for oily wastewater treatment. Because of their hydrophilic surface, ceramic membranes show less fouling compared with their polymeric counterparts. Membrane fouling, however, is an inevitable phenomenon in the filtration proc...
