Preparation of Ceramic Composite Filter with Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles and Active Carbon Content for Treatment of Sea Water

In this mentioned study for sea water treatment ceramic composites were made from natural alumina and adsorbent active ingredients. According to the experimental results, filters along with active agents have acceptable effects on drinking water parameters and contaminants in compare with 1053 ISIRI standard. Modular set up was made for sea water treatment tests. Water flowrate after filtration was 300 ml/hr at 3 bar condition. Totally, the best results was obtained for the composite filter with 21 1nd 2 %wt active carbon and titanium oxide content. A significant removal was achieved by filter No. 7 with potential removal of nitrate, nitrite, total dissolved solids and total hardness 90, 78, 98 and 68%, respectively. The low cost ceramic composite filter was found to be easily reusable, durable, and effective for the treatment of sea water at household level.
