Electrochemical Detection of Barrier Layer Removal for Preparation of Anodic Alumina Membranes with High Permeance and Mechanical Stability

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research Aims and scope

Abstract

A procedure for the controlled barrier layer removal is suggested in this work which provides the preparation of anodic alumina membrane with specified pore diameter and permeance. Optimal conditions for barrier layer removal which give membranes with high gas permeance of 400 m3/(m2 atm h) by nitrogen and breaking strength of up to 440 ± 40 MPa, which is allowable for their operation in baromembrane processes, are developed.
