Synthesis approaches to ceramic membranes, their composites, and application in the removal of tetracycline from water

Application of coal fly ash based ceramic membranes in wastewater treatment: A sustainable alternative to commercial materials

“…The fundamental components required for the manufacture of ceramic membranes include inorganic precursors, and additives such as solvents, dispersants, pore formers, binders, and plasticizers. The fabrication process involves three primary steps which are: (1) preparation of suspension or paste from precursor material and additives, (2) shaping the suspension/paste into a desired geometry such as tubular, plate or disc configuration and (3) drying, and sintering of the resultant ceramic membrane [ 75 ] . An optional step, which involves the leaching of undesired elements in the coal fly ash before the mixing of raw materials and additives is determined by the analysis of the elemental composition of the coal fly ash.…”

Materials and Methods for Ceramic Membrane Synthesis. Short Review

“…General outline of the synthesis method for a selective layer on a ceramic membrane usually are following (Ajiboye et al, 2023;Medvedkova, Nazarov, 1999, Tomina et al, 2019Avirup, Monal, 2019):…”

Mg–Fe Layered Double Hydroxides/Polyacrylonitrile Nanofibers for Solar-Light Induced Peroxymonosulfate Elimination of Tetracycline Hydrochloride

“…Due to the high consumption rate and the low metabolism, 60~90% TCs and their metabolized forms are not used in living organisms, and are further released into environment via feces and urine, causing the serious scarcity of water sources [4,5]. What is worse, the long-term exposure to TCs induces chronic and even acute disease, endangering humans and the ecosystem [6]. To overcome the harmful impacts of TCs in water, various strategies have been explored in previous works, including adsorption [7,8], advanced oxidation [9,10], biodegradation [11,12], electrocatalysis [13,14], photocatalysis [15,16], filtration [17], and flocculation [18].…”
