Although many studies of inorganic membranes were conducted with ceramics, stainless steel and carbon, pore sizes of membranes were widely distributed. But, along with the advancement in materials development, the pore sizu and its distribution have become small and narrow, respectively. Nowadays, the porous material, especially made of ceramics and glass, can be used as inorganic ultrafiltration and microfiltration membranes. This article discusses present researches and developments on the inorganic membranes for separations in liquid media. Applications of the membranes will also be reviewed
