OVERVIEW
A method of creating a silica ceramic membrane is disclosed. The method begins with the hydrolyzing of a silicon alkoxide with ammonia until the sol is formed. The sol is dialyzed to approximately pH 8 and then acidified to approximately pH 3. The sol is then formed into a membrane by controlled evaporation followed by sintering.
