Abstract
In recent years, ceramic membranes have gained significant attention due to their excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical tolerance. Alumina, zirconia, and clays are the primary raw materials used to fabricate the ceramic membranes. So far, ceramic membranes have been found to be suitable for various separation applications such as desalination, industrial effluent treatment, food processing, and drinking water production. For ceramic membranes, microfiltration process targeting wastewater treatment is promising. Among various wastewater treatment processes, ceramic membranes have the edge to treat oily wastewater and separate chromium from waste streams. This article presents the review of ceramic membrane for the treatment of oily and chromium wastewater.
