In this paper, Al2O3membrane support with both enhanced permeability and strength was fabricated by introducing zirconia fiber (ZrO2(f)). Effects of the ZrO2(f)content and sintering temperature on the open porosity, shrinkage rate, microstructure, water permeance, bending strength and pore size of the support were investigated. Results reveal that apart from fiber reinforcement, ZrO2(f)was found to promote open porosity and permeability by changing pore morphology and reducing flow resistance. However, it damages the porous structure if the sintering temperature is excessive. Compared with the un-added sample, the bending strength and water permeance of the support with a ZrO2(f)addition of 4 wt% sintered at 1550 °C increased by 261% and 52%, respectively. The modified support meets the requirement for more demanding operation conditions and may achieve the objects of miniaturizing and lightening the final products.
