Fly ash is a cost-effective alternative for preparing ceramic membranes but they are often weak for practical use. We have made different mixtures by taking different compositions of polyvinyl alcohol to improve mechanical strength at the same time preserving permeability. We tested 3 PVA concentrations from which sintered 10 ppm PVA solution treated at 1100 °C demonstrated optimal characteristics, featuring Lh (water permeability coefficient) of 9.19 × 10–6 (m3/m2 s kPa), 39% porosity, pore size of 1.029 µm, a flexural strength of 40 MPa, and testing with oil-in-water emulsions revealed a rejection rate exceeding 98%.

摘要

Fly ash is a cost-effective alternative for preparing ceramic membranes but they are often weak for practical use. We have made different mixtures by taking different compositions of polyvinyl alcohol to improve mechanical strength at the same time preserving permeability. We tested 3 PVA concentrations from which sintered 10 ppm PVA solution treated at 1100 °C demonstrated optimal characteristics, featuring Lh (water permeability coefficient) of 9.19 × 10–6 (m3/m2 s kPa), 39% porosity, pore size of 1.029 µm, a flexural strength of 40 MPa, and testing with oil-in-water emulsions revealed a rejection rate exceeding 98%.
