✦ Synopsis
In the present work non-supported microfiltration ceramic membranes have been made from different aluminosilicate paste formulations. The cast green dopes were sintered at temperatures between 1100 and 1400 • C. The membrane characterisation was made by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mercury porosimetry, gas and water permeabilities and microorganisms rejection. The results indicate that an appropriate election of the size of the particles in the paste and of the final sintering temperature allows to obtain membranes with different mechanical and structural properties, with mean pore sizes within the range from 0.1 to 1 m, that make them suitable for microfiltration.

The tubular ceramic membrane system prepared by us consists of a substrate which is made by means of extrusion, and a microfiltration layer which is about 30 pm thick and which is applied by a film coating technique. This two layer system can also be used as a substrate for an ultrafiltration or gas
Aluminosilicate-reinforced carbon foams have been prepared by chemical foaming with phenolic resin as matrix precursor and aluminosilicate as the additive. The effects of the amount of aluminosilicate used on the microstructure, mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of the carbon foams have
