This study aimed to investigate the effects of phosphogypsum addition on ceramic membrane properties. In this regard, clay and phosphogypsum were characterized using FTIR and laser particle sizer. The ceramic paste was prepared by incorporating varying amounts of phosphogypsum (10 to 50%), followed by molding using a semidry-pressing process at 10 bars pressure and sintering temperature at 900℃. The raw materials and prepared membranes were analyzed using FTIR, laser particle size, contact angle, porosity, and mechanical strength to evaluate the properties of the resulting ceramic membranes. The study showed that as the amount of phosphogypsum increased from 10% to 50%, the membrane's hydrophilicity significantly increased, while its mechanical strength decreased by 35% and porosity increased by 26%. Moreover, the permeability of distilled water also showed a significant increase of 67% when the amount of phosphogypsum was increased from 10% to 50%.These observations suggest that phosphogypsum can significantly influence ceramic membrane properties, which may have implications for its use in various membrane applications. The findings of this research contribute to our understanding of the potential use of phosphogypsum as a valuable material for ceramic membrane production, with important implications for sustainable waste management practices. Future studies can focus on exploring the suitability of these ceramics for various applications and their environmental impact.
