Tubular membrane and method of making

摘要

An improved tubular membrane and process of making is disclosed comprising the deposition of fine metallic fibers onto a substrate. The deposited fine metallic fibers are heated to form a flexible membrane. Catalytically active particles can be dispersed with the fine metallic fibers. The flexible membrane is wound to form a membrane winding. The membrane winding is sintered for forming a substantially rigid tubular membrane.
