In wastewater treatment, the development of low-cost separation methods is significant importance. Low-cost membranes based on natural materials have become a highly active research topic in recent years. Herein, using Moroccan sand, new ceramic supports been developed and characterized different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal (DTA), along with scanning electron microscope...
This paper aims to elaborate a ceramic membrane made of natural Moroccan sand.The raw material was characterized using X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy techniques.Sand powder (average particle size = 100 μm) mixed with organic additives water produce plastic paste rheological properties that allowed for extrusion shaping.Heat treatment flat support diameter 4 cm thickness 2 mm at 1,050°C/2 h resulted in...
This paper is devoted to study the feasibility of combining photocatalytic degradation with membrane filtration for removal organic pollutants. As a result, we have successfully prepared low-cost microfiltration membranes based on clay and phosphate. It expected that phosphate composite can multifunctional separation photocatalysis simultaneously this type play an important role in reaction presence TiO2 process. We then tested efficiency direct coupling photodegradation determine rate...
ABSTRACT The development of low-cost methods for wastewater treatment and the separation oil-in-water emulsions is considerable significance. Recently, natural material-based, inexpensive membranes have become a hot area research. In this work, olive seeds were used to develop novel ceramic membrane support. With oil filtration process in place, choice was reached utilize kernels’ beneficial qualities best. involved blending plastic paste with water organic ingredients, followed by extruding...
The present work is focused on studying the porosity of a ceramic membrane elaborated using aspects experimental design. A complete factorial design 2<sup>3</sup> was developed in order to study effect physical and chemical characteristics flat or tubular membranes based Moroccan clay. main factors investigated are sintering temperature as thermal parameter, granulometry for particle size distribution, starch content being an organic additive that contributes final porosity. results showed...
