Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the production of a semipermeable membrane on a porous conductive support. The process involves the stages of finely dispersing in an aqueous or hydroorganic medium, insoluble solid mineral products in the presence of an electrodepositable coating resin, the preparation of an electrophoresis bath by adjusting the composition of the dispersion, deposition by electrophoresis of a layer of resin-coated, solid mineral products on a porous conductive support, possible deposition of several coatings and heat treatment of the porous conductive support and its layer of electrodeposited solid products. This gives filtering membranes suitable for microfiltration, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis.
