Abstract:In this study, a tubular ceramic ultrafiltration membrane was synthesized using coal fly ash (CFA) along with fuller clay and a small quantity of inorganic precursors by extrusion method. The composition of membrane precursors was varied to prepare the ceramic membranes which were named as CM1, CM2 and CM3. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed high thermal stability nature of the membranes. The insignificant weight loss (<0.5%) of the membranes in a highly acidic and alkaline medium showed the high ch… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
