Fabrications and applications of low cost ceramic membrane from kaolin: A comprehensive review
The application of low cost ceramic membrane from kaolin has attracted much interest due to its excellent mechanical stability, chemical and thermal resistivity and most importantly, because it is cost effective, in some cases, compared to polymeric membranes . The advantage of kaolin based ceramic membrane is its ther...
Preparation and characterization of low cost porous ceramic membrane support from kaolin using phase
The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using kaolin as a starting material in ceramic membrane support preparation using phase inversion/sintering technique at different kaolin content and non-solvent coagulant bath. The ceramic suspension was prepared by mixing the kaolin, polyethersulfone (PESf) a...
Effect of fabrication parameters on physical properties of metakaolin-based ceramic hollow fibre memb
Ceramic hollow fibre membranes (CHFMs) are known to have superior characteristics including excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability. Major limitations include their high cost and brittleness , traits which have hindered the commercial adoption of this technology. This paper studies the effects of three ma...
Effect of kaolin particle size and loading on the characteristics of kaolin ceramic support prepared
In this study, low cost ceramic supports were prepared from kaolin via phase inversion technique with two kaolin particle sizes, which are 0.040.6m (denoted as type A) and 1015m (denoted as type B), at different kaolin contents ranging from 14 to 39wt.%, sintered at 1200C. The effect of kaolin particle sizes as well as...
Green silica-based ceramic hollow fiber membrane for seawater desalination via direct contact membran
In this work, green silica-based ceramic hollow fiber membranes (CHFMs) derived from rice husk ash waste were successfully prepared via phase inversion and sintering technique. Prior to the fabrication, rice husk waste was converted into amorphous and crystalline silica-based rice husk ash (ARHA and CRHA). The surface ...
