    Fabrication and Properties of Novel Porous Ceramic Membrane Supports From the (sig) Diatomite and Alumina Mixtures
    (Elsevier, 2022) Aouadja, Faycal; Bouzerara, Ferhat; Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Demir, Mustafa M.
    In this paper, the manufacturing of macro-porous tubular ceramic supports for membranes is described. The novel supports are fabricated from natural diatomite and alumina raw materials using the extrusion method. The structure was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and mercury porosimetry techniques; the presence of possible defects was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The permeability has been measured from water flux in standard experiments. Experimental results show that the open porosity, the average pore size (APS), the pore size distribution, the strength, and the permeability of sintered supports, have been found to depend, mainly on the concentration of alumina (Al2O3) additive. Supports prepared with the addition of 10 wt.% of alumina and sintered at 1200 degrees C, can be considered as the most optimized; they have a porosity ratio of about 46%, an APS is around 7.7 mu m, a flexural strength value of about 28 MPa, and water permeability of around 15 m(3)h(-1) m(-2) bar(-1). Such materials could be of great interest in the supports fabrication for membrane application, for instance, water filtration. (C) 2021 SECV. Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U.

    Development and Characterization of Tubular Composite Ceramic Membranes Using Natural Alumino-Silicates for Microfiltration Applications
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Ghouil, Boudjemaa; Harabi, Abdelhamid; Bouzerara, Ferhat; Boudaira, Boukhemis; Guechi, Abdelkrim; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Figoli, Alberto
    Abstract The preparation and characterization of porous tubular ceramic composite microfiltration membranes, using kaolins and calcium carbonates, were reported. The porous gehlenite (2CaO·Al2O3·SiO2) and anorthite (CaO·Al2O3·2SiO2) based ceramics were obtained by a solid state reaction. A ceramic support, sintered at 1250 C, within an average pore size of about 8 μm, a porosity of about 47% and a compression strength around 40 MPa, was prepared. The microfiltration active top layer was added on the support by a slip casting from clay powder suspensions. The novel microfiltration membrane layer has a thickness of 40 μm and an APS value of about 0.2 μm. This average pore size value was improved and considerably lower than those reported in the literature (0.5 μm). The performance of the novel microfiltration ceramic membrane was determined for evaluating both the water permeability and rejection. This proved the potentiality of the membrane produced in the microfiltration field. Moreover, the good adhesion, between the support and the active microfiltration layer membranes, was also proved. A correlation between microstructures of used powders and physicochemical properties was discussed. Finally, the origin of the unique two powder order membrane depositions was also proposed.
