Abstract
The purpose of this study was the development of a low-cost ceramic tubular membrane, using inexpensive materials, namely natural clay, and graphite as a porogenic agent . Such a low-cost membrane can be used as filters or porous supports for the preparation of multilayer ceramic membranes. Extrusion was used as a shape-forming method for this purpose. Graphite was selected as a porogenic additive. Raw materials were physicochemically and morphologically characterized. A comparative study of the influence of porogen content on membrane characteristics was carried out. Finally a graphite addition of 15 wt% and 850 °C as the sintering temperature were chosen. The obtained membrane had 41 vol% of porosity, diametral compression strength of 4 MPa, and relatively good corrosion resistance in basic and acid conditions. The performance of the membrane support was evaluated for diesel-in-water emulsion depuration as a function of pressure. Filtration test using 15% of porogen sample led to turbidity rejection factor of 95%. Therefore, it was considered that this membrane can be suitable for diesel/water emulsion treatment.
