Silica membranes

Silica membranes are thin, semi-permeable barriers made from silica (silicon dioxide), similar to glass. They are designed to filter molecules based on size and shape, allowing certain substances to pass through while blocking others. These membranes are used in various applications like water purification, chemical separation, and gas filtering. Their high selectivity and stability at different temperatures make them efficient in improving process purity and efficiency. Essentially, silica membranes function as precise sieves at a microscopic level, enabling the separation of specific particles or molecules from complex mixtures.
