Medical Applications
Advanced ceramics are used in chemical applications, contributing significantly to catalysis, sensing, corrosion resistance, separation, and filtration processes. They provide essential support for various applications in the chemical field.
Advanced ceramic materials have excellent chemical stability, corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and mechanical strength. These materials play a significant role in catalysis, sensing, separation, and filtration applications. Their high surface area and unique structure make them excellent catalyst substrates and sensor materials, while providing outstanding performance and reliability in chemical processing and separation.
Here are a few examples and explanations:
Chemical Catalysts
Advanced ceramics find extensive application in the field of chemical catalysts. For instance, alumina or zirconia ceramics are commonly used as substrate materials for catalysts. These ceramics offer high surface area and chemical stability, providing excellent catalytic activity and selectivity to facilitate chemical reactions.
Chemical Sensors
Ceramic materials used in electrochemical sensors offer high chemical stability and electrochemical activity, enabling the detection and measurement of specific chemical components or ion concentrations in solutions. These ceramic sensors are used in applications such as environmental monitoring, biosensing, and industrial process control.
Corrosion and Wear Resistance
Due to materials’ excellent corrosion and wear resistance, advanced ceramics are commonly employed in chemical applications to resist corrosion and wear. For instance, ceramic materials are used as corrosion-resistant liners, pipes, and pump components in chemical processing and storage equipment, prolonging the equipment’s lifespan and maintaining the purity of chemicals.
Separation and Filtration
Advanced ceramics have a significant role in chemical separation and filtration processes. For example, ceramic membranes are applied in gas and liquid separation, such as in membrane separation and reverse osmosis processes, selectively blocking specific components to achieve separation. Additionally, ceramic filters are commonly used for solid-liquid separation in the chemical industry, removing suspended particles and impurities.
