Abstract
Fly ash is a cost-effective alternative for preparing ceramic membranes but they are often weak for practical use. We have made different mixtures by taking different compositions of polyvinyl alcohol with the aim of improving mechanical strength at the same time preserving permeability. We tested 3 PVA concentrations from which 10 ppm PVA solution sintered at 1100°C exhibited the best properties including a pore size of 1.029 µm, 39% porosity, a flexural strength of 40 MPa, and a water permeability coefficient of 9.19 × 10-6 (m3/m2 s kPa). The membrane when tested under oil-in-water emulsions showed a rejection rate exceeding 98%.
