The present paper is devoted to synthesis of porous ceramic support from local Sahara Moroccan clay.This material characterized by its natural abundance and beneficial properties.The with flat configuration was prepared clay.The powder crushed sieved 125 µm.The extrusion performed applying the uniaxial pressing.SEM, XRD, DTG characterizations techniques were used.The elaborated sintered at 950°C showed apparent porosity water absorption 40.81% 25.25%, respectively.The permeability about 121 L/(h m 2 bar) after h filtration.The performance evaluated filtration textile effluents a good retention suspended particles in effluents.
