Ceramic foam fiber composites, methods of making ceramic foam fiber composites, and uses of ceramic foam fiber composites. The ceramic foam fiber composites may be made by contacting one or more fiber(s); one or more ceramic precursor(s); one or more pore-forming gas-forming additive(s) (one or more inert gas-generating agent(s)); one or more catalyst(s); and, optionally, one or more additive(s), where the contacting is results in formation of an inert gas and the ceramic foam-fiber composite is formed. A ceramic foam-fiber composite may include a plurality of fibers, where at least a portion or all of the fibers individually comprise a ceramic foam disposed on at least a portion or all of a surface of the fiber. A ceramic foam-fiber composite may exhibit one or more or all of the following: thermal stability, mechanical strength, soundproof/acoustic insulation characteristics. A ceramic foam-fiber composite material may be used as a building material.

A membrane modification method for improving liquid membrane separation of carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) includes grafting an organic substance containing an amine group on a porous membrane material, and loading water into pore channels of the porous membrane material to prepare a supported liquid membrane for a gas mixture separation experiment of CO.sub.2. In the method, the amine group is introduced through chemical grafting to make the water being alkaline when used as membrane liquid. Compared with an alkaline solution as the membrane liquid, the method can avoid the loss of active alkaline substances and increase the permeation flux of CO.sub.2.
