Silicon carbide hollow fiber membranes developed for the textile industry wastewater treatment

In order to reduce the impacts of industrial effluent on environment, silicon carbide hollow fiber membranes were prepared by precipitation-immersion technique and sintered at 1450 1500 °C. The characterized X-ray diffraction, their surface structure was scanning electron microscopy atomic force microscopy, pore size distribution porosity, mechanical properties, flow measurements with distilled water generated indigo blue industry. presented crystalline phases aluminum oxide. tubes defect-free microstructure uniform porous surface, porosity above 50%. membrane significant reductions solutes colloidal particle contents in effluent. °C proved be more efficient for turbidity color Silicon is an interesting alternative treatment effluents from textile
