Commercialized inorganic membranes exist in three configurations disks or sheets, tubes and multichannels/honeycombs. Usually, flat disks or sheets are limited to small scale industrial, medical and laboratory applications. They are used almost exclusively in flow-through filtration in contrast to cross-flow filtration in tubes and multichannel monoliths. Meanwhile, tubes and monoliths are used for various industrial applications [2, 4].
