Equipment capability

Name: Ceramic Hollow Fibre Spinning Machine

Summary: To make ceramic hollow fibres prepared from different materials (perovskite ceramics, alumina, Yttria Stabilized Zirconia, etc.), and with various controlled morphologies like symmetric, asymmetric, highly asymmetric, and multi-channel. Hollow fibres are fabricated by phase inversion technique and parameters like spinning speed and air gap can be well controlled. Ceramic hollow fibres can be used for various applications such as catalytic membrane reactors and as substrate for membrane coating.
