Spheroidization of low-cost alumina powders for the preparation of high-flux flat-sheet ceramic membranes
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Two kinds of low-cost alumina powders with irregular morphology were pretreated by spheroidization and the two spherical powders were used to prepare high-flux flat-sheet support and microfiltration (MF) membrane with high separation accuracy, respectively. It was found that the spheroidization pretreatment not only unified the morphology of alumina powder particles into spherical shape, but also narrowed the particle size distribution of the powders, which both were conducive to optimizing the performance of the as-prepared ceramic membranes. After sintering at 1350 °C, the open porosity, bending strength, average pore diameter and pure water permeability of alumina flat-sheet support from spheroidized alumina coarse powder were 44.3%, 36.3 MPa, 3.3 μm and 3240 L/h m2 bar, respectively. The slurry derived from spheroidized alumina fine powder was dip-coated on the flat-sheet support to prepare MF membrane. The crack-free MF membrane with a thickness of 23.5 μm had a pore diameter of 0.12 μm and pure water permeability of 850 L/h m2 bar. Additionally, the elaborated MF membrane was used to clarify aqueous suspension of carbon black with the maximum rejection rate of up to 99.7%, exhibiting excellent cleaning performance at the same time by completely restore the virgin permeate flux after backwash.
