Ceramic membranes have many advantages over polymeric membranes, stainless steel membranes and conventional filtration techniques. These are high thermal and chemical stability, pressure resistance, long lifetime and ability of steam sterilization.
However, the high manufacturing cost of ceramic membranes limits their application. Nevertheless, the cost can be reduced if cheap raw materials are used in its manufacture. Hence, in this project, it is proposed to use solid waste from sanitary industry along with ball clay in the fabrication of ceramic membrane support.
