This paper presents a review of the previous laboratory analysis and case studies on the application of the pressure-driven ceramic membrane technology for treatment of industrial wastewaters. Ceramic membranes has attracted remarkable interests in recent decades for industrial wastewater treatment because of their superior characteristic such as high fluxes , reliable working lifetime under aggressive operating conditions and ease of cleaning. The literature review revealed that the efficiency of this technology has been proven in a wide variety of wastewaters from different industries and activities including pulp and paper, textile, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food and mining. However, there are still challenges and questions for this technology that need to be addressed in future researches such as investment cost optimisation by introducing new fabrication technologies, selectivity, permeability and packing densities improvement, fouling minimisation and proposing scale up based on experimental research results.

本文介绍了以前的实验室分析和压力驱动陶瓷膜技术在工业废水处理中的应用案例研究的综述。陶瓷膜由于其优异的特性（例如高通量，在苛刻的操作条件下可靠的工作寿命以及易于清洁）在近几十年来引起了工业废水处理的极大兴趣。文献综述显示，该技术的效率已在来自不同行业和活动的各种废水中得到证明，这些废水包括纸浆和造纸，纺织，制药，石化，食品和采矿。然而，
