Elaboration and characterization of low-cost ceramic membrane made from natural Moroccan perlite for treatment of industrial wastewater

Elaboration of a new ceramic membrane support from Cameroonian clays, coconut husks and eggshells: Application for Escherichia coli bacteria retention

“…on an inorganic membrane support which could be elaborated with mineral clays (Saffaj et al, 2004;Achiou et al, 2018). Nowadays, various membrane supports have been elaborated for microfiltration and ultrafiltration using different local mineral clays from Moroccan (Saffaj et al, 2006;Saja et al, 2018;Majouli et al, 2011), Tunisia (Masmoudi et al, 2007;Khemakhem et al, 2009), China (Kumar et al, 2019), Algeria (Bouzerara et al, 2006) with specific properties (porosity and pores diameter). These works have used Methocel TM as a plasticizer agent, gelatin as a gelling agent as well as amijel, amidon and calcium carbonate as pore-forming agents.…”

Elaboration and characterization of novel two-layer tubular ceramic membranes by coating natural zeolite and activated carbon on mullite-alumina-zeolite support: application for oily wastewater treatment

“…Previously, the development of ceramic membranes based on affordable natural materials such as aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, zirconium dioxide, kaolin, pozzolan, quartz, and natural zeolite has been investigated by several scientists [12,13]. Among all types of material, kaolin and natural zeolite have exhibited better hydrophilic behavior [14], which make them suitable for oily wastewater treatment [15] and Al 2 O 3 is known as a hard material and refractory with high mechanical strength [16].…”

Alumina Membranes for Desalination and Water Treatment

“…Furthermore, transferring of membrane processing to food industries has been the objective of many studies [18,66]. The choice of working with CMs technologies in the food industry is mainly based on the different advantages obtained by these techniques such as ease of cleaning, food safety [67,68], and the acquisition of newly food fractions that can be used for other food process. CMs allow simplifying the different production stages, by avoiding complex, and chemically stressful steps.…”
