Low-cost clay-based membranes with an excellent flexural strength were successfully prepared by a simple pressing route using low cost starting materials, such as kaolin, bentonite, talc, sodium borate, and carbon black, and subsequent sintering at 1000°C. Carbon black was added as a template. The effect of carbon black content on porosity, flexural strength, pore size distribution, pure water permeability, oil rejection rate, and flux of low-cost clay-based membranes was investigated. It was found that the porosity and pore size of membranes increased with increasing carbon black content, whereas the flexural strength decreased with an increase in carbon black content. The pure water permeability increased with an increase in porosity. The oil rejection rate decreased with increasing applied pressure and carbon black content. Typical porosity, flexural strength, oil rejection rate, and flux of clay-based membranes sintered at 1000°C were 34%, 58 MPa, 96.7%, and 6.3 © 10 ¹5 m 3 /m 2 s at an applied pressure of 101 kPa, respectively.

“…The pore size of MF is about 0,1 µm or more, therefore its application in produced water treatment should be considered as a pretreatment in order to enhance the effectiveness of UF, NF or RO processes [59]. Abbasi et al [60] studied usage of mullite and mullite-alumina ceramic MF membranes for the treatment of produced water. Result obtained are the TOC rejection of 94% for the synthetic oily wastewater but only 84% of the TOC rejection for the real produced water using the same membrane.…”

Abstract. Oil and gas exploration and production are two of the activities that potentially cause pollution and environmental damage. The largest waste generated from this activity is produced water. Produced water contains hazardous pollutants of both organic and inorganic materials, so that the produced water of oil and gas production cannot be discharged directly to the environment. Uncontrolled discharge can lead to the environmental damage, killing the life of water and plants. The produced water needs to be handled and fulfill the quality standards before being discharged to the environment. Several studies to reduce the contaminants in the produced water were conducted by researchers. Among them were gravity based separation -flotation, separation technique based on filtration, and biological process treatment. Therefore, some of these methods can be used as an alternative waste handling of produced water.
