The use of ceramics as low cost membrane materials for Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) has gained increasing interest, due to improved performance levels in terms of power and catholyte production. The catholyte production in ceramic MFCs can be attributed to a combination of water or hydrogen peroxide formation from the oxygen reduction reaction in the cathode, water diffusion and electroosmotic d...

The study examined the microstructure of ceramics with addition glass waste at different temperatures ranging from 800 to 1000 °C. Samples were molded by piston without vacuum, incorporation 20% (weight) bottles, coarse particles, for a better identification. raw materials analyzed chemically and mineralogically XRF XRD. microstructural characterization was carried out scanning electron microsc...

This paper reports the development and testing results of a prototype ceramic filter with excellent sorption properties (<99% elimination in 5 min) leading to good efficacy removal industrial contaminants (Reactive Bezaktiv Turquoise Blue V-G (BTB) dye). The novelty investigation lies developing material obtained from recycling waste glass combined highly porous open-cell clay material. newly d...

Ceramic hydroxyapatite foam (CF-HAP) was prepared by combining slip-casting and foaming methods. The CF-HAP characterized scanning electron microscopy (SEM), physisorption of N2, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD). results the specific surface area SEM analyses revealed that used shaping method provides with a wide range porosity including macro mesopores. ...

Biofiltration is cost-effective for the treatment of gases containing low concentrations of volatile organic compounds ðo3 g m Þ: However, conventional biofilters, based on compost and bacterial activity, face problems with the elimination of hydrophobic compounds. Besides that, biofilter operational stability is often hampered by acidification and drying out of the filter bed. To overcome thes...
