Title: System and method for engineered ceramic packages for use in fluid treatment technologies

Patent · Tue Sep 13 00:00:00 EDT 2022

OSTI ID:1925086

Kelly, James Patrick; Haslam, Jeffery J.; Mitchell, Mark

The present disclosure relates to a fluid modification system having a container structure and a plurality of independent, ceramic elements. The ceramic elements may be arranged in random orientations and contained in the container structure, thus causing a fluid flow entering the container structure at any given cross-section location to flow over the surfaces of a first subplurality of the ceramic elements, and through the porous walls of a second subplurality of the ceramic elements, before exiting at a second location of the container structure. Each one of the ceramic elements has at least one of a nanofibrous or nanoporous microstructure to enable internal flow both through a wall structure thereof, and over and around the wall structure to affect performance.
