Chemical vapor deposition of silicon carbide on alumina ultrafiltration membranes for filtration of microemulsions

Worldwide, a considerable amount of oily wastewater is generated, with oil droplets from 2 to 200 nm that are difficult to separate because of their size and colloidal stability. This study presents a novel approach for effectively separating microemulsions via cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC)-coated alumina (Al ₂O ₃)...
