Aluminium Dross

In this study, alumina-spinel composite hollow fibre membranes were fabricated from abundantly available aluminium dross waste, which can be commonly obtained from aluminium-producing factory. The hollow fibre membranes were successfully fabricated by using a combine phase inversion method and sintering technique. The effects of sintering temperatures on morphology, mechanical strength, and permeability of the hollow fibre membranes were systematically investigated. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was used to analyze the composition of the aluminium dross waste, while x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) were further studied to characterize the major crystalline phase of the sintered hollow fibre membranes. An increase in sintering temperatures resulted in densification of hollow fibre membrane, consequently induced the flux reduction. The presence of spinel in microstructural of hollow fibre assisted in decreasing the sintering temperature. As comparison to pure alumina membrane counterparts, this alternative ceramic hollow fibre membrane exhibited a comparable mechanical strength of 78.3-155.1 MPa with lower sintering temperatures ranging from 1350 ˚C to 1400 ˚C at ceramic loading of 40%.

And Performance

Ceramic hollow fibre membrane (CHFM) demonstrated superior characteristics and performance in any separation application. The only problem associated with this kind of technology is the high cost. In order to effectively fabricate and produce low cost porous CHFM, a series of CHFMs made of kaolin were fabricated via combined phase inversion and sintering technique. The CHFMs from kaolin named as kaolin hollow fibre membranes (KHFMs) were studied at different kaolin contents of 35 wt.%, 37.5 wt.% and 40 wt.% sintered at 1200ºC. The result indicated that by varying kaolin contents, different morphologies were obtained due to changes in the viscosity of ceramic suspension containing kaolin. The optimum kaolin content for KHFM was identified. It was found that KHFM prepared at 37.5 wt% has a mechanical strength and pure water flux of A and B respectively.

Recently, ceramic membrane gradually acquired attention from researchers due to the advantages of ceramic’s behavior, which allows the ceramic to overcome the limitations of using polymeric membrane. This work focused on the fabrication of ceramic hollow fibre membrane from a ceramic suspension solution containing yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), polyethersulfone (PESf), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and dispersants using combined phase inversion sintering technique. In this study, ceramic hollow membrane precursors were sintered at different sintering temperature ranging between 1250°C and 1400°C. The influences of sintering temperature on the microstructure, porosity and pore size distribution, mechanical strength and pure water flux of ceramic hollow fibre membrane were investigated in detail. The results show an asymmetric structure of YSZ hollow fibre membrane containing finger-like structure and sponge-like structure. The sponge-like structure can serve as a separation layer, while finger-like-structure performs as a supported layer. It is observed that sintering process caused a significant densification of sponge-like structure (microstructure). Sintering at temperature 1400°C shows the formation of non- interconnected voids. Sintering at 1300°C is sufficient enough having a mechanical strength of 227.55MPa with an apparent porosity of 45.09% and PWF of 118.39L.m¯².hr¯¹.

Ceramic membrane has the ability to surpass the utilisation of polymeric membrane in the application that requiring high temperature and pressure condition, as well as harsh chemical environment. Due to the high cost of ceramic membrane, various attempts have been made to use low cost ceramic materials as alternatives to well-known expensive metal oxides. In this work, local Malaysian kaolin has been chosen as ceramic material since it is inexpensive and easily available in Malaysia for the preparation of low cost hollow fibre ceramic membrane. The aim of this work is to study the effect of sintering temperature on the morphology, properties, and performance of kaolin hollow fibre membrane by sintering the prepared precursor at different target temperatures ranging from 1300°C to 1500 °C. The experimental results demonstrated that the kaolin membrane sintered at 1400 °C has influenced the formation of sufficient dense sponge-like structure of skin layer, resulting in good water flux of 74 L/h.m2.
