Influence of pre-treatment temperature of palm oil fuel ash on the properties and performance of green ceramic hollow fiber membranes towards oil/ water separation application

Palm oil fuel ash (POFA) is one of the most abundant industrial wastes in palm oil producing countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. Due to its unique characteristics such as high silica and hydroxyl group contents, it has high potential to be used as the main material for the fabrication of low cost...

This work investigated the effect of pre-treatment temperature of POFA towards the properties of the derived ceramic hollow fiber membranes. The properties of POFA such as morphology, mineralogical and chemical composition, thermal behavior, surface and pore properties were analyzed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), carbon element analysis, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and nitrogen (N2) sorption technique.
