Preparation and characterization of a clay-based ceramic membrane for tannery wastewater treatment.

In this work, a porous clay-based ceramic membrane was developed from locally sourced clay from Nigeria. The clay was ground and sieved through 100 μm size. The chemical, mineralogical, thermal and particle size properties of the clay were determined using XRF, XRD, TGA/DTA and PSD respectively. Sta...
