The invention discloses a tabular hollow
fiber ceramic membrane element formed by connecting a plurality of hollow
fiber ceramic membranes in parallel and a preparation method thereof. The invention is characterized in that a plurality of hollow
fiber ceramic membrane green bodies, one end of which is open and the other end of which is closed or both ends of which are open are sintered at the temperature
ranging from 900 to 1600 DEG C for 5 to 20 hours in a state of mutual
close contact by aligning both ends and driving single layer to stand side by side; or the tabular hollow fiber
ceramic membrane green bodies, which are prepared by a single layered parallel connection of hollow fiber ceramic membranes using
extrusion, are sintered at a high temperature
ranging from 900 and 1600 DEG C for 5 to 20 hours after being dried. Compared with a
single fiber hollow
ceramic membrane element, the
mechanical strength of the tabular hollow fiber
ceramic membrane element is significantly enhanced, thus being beneficial to preparing large-size membrane elements, enhancing the reliability and the service life of the ceramic membrane; moreover, owing to the decrease of the
assembly dispersity, the packing density of the membrane components is further enhanced far from being lowered. The tabular hollow fiber ceramic membrane element can be used for manufacturing gas or liquid separation and purification device or high temperature
heat exchanger.
