Polyethylene glycol was used as a pore-agent. The main steps of the process are hot-pressing and calcination. Varying the clay:sand:PEG ratio membranes permeability was obtained between 6.39 x 10-13 m2/Pa.s for smaller PEG content and 1.39 x 10-11 m2/Pa.s for higher one. The addition of sand particles volume fraction improves the permeabilities produced as result of larger of the sand particles producing the higher pores size. The filtration performance then was examined using methylene blue aqueous solutions as one of the main pollutants produced from textile industries. Under a pressure difference of 4 kPa as a test-pressure, the concentrations of methylene blue remaining in the solution filtered varied from 1.73% to 10.29% depending on the permeability. Therefore, the membrane is very potential to be applied as wastewater filter for coping with the availibity of clean water. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Clean waters,Filter applications,Filtration performance,Membrane surface,Methylene Blue,Pressure differences,Sand particles,Titania[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Ceramic membrane,Clay,Muntilan sand,Titania,Wastewater filter[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.896.70[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
