Abstract:This study investigates the feasibility of a robust, low-cost tubular microfiltration ceramic membrane fabricated using a mixture of locally available Fuller's earth clay (FEC) and solid waste material, rice husk ash (RHA), to treat effluents generated by a local dairy and palm oil industries. Fabrication of the membrane was carried out by employing the extrusion method followed by sintering at a temperature of 850 °C. Raw materials were characterized using XRD, XRF, FTIR, TGA, and differential thermal analysi… Show more
