Description

This study introduces transformative ceramic membranes for sustainable wastewater treatment and reuse, focusing on regions grappling with water scarcity and pollution. The integration of magnesium aluminosilicate-based ceramics, derived from industrial by-products, yields efficient membranes with exceptional properties. Comprehensive microstructural analyses reveal their composition and structure.

Filtration experiments targeting textile effluent demonstrate substantial reduction, with over 70% decrease in turbidity, BOD, and COD levels. This research showcases innovative ceramic membranes' potential to revolutionize wastewater treatment, fostering sustainability. Furthermore, our study's implications extend beyond laboratory findings. By bridging the gap between advanced materials, scientific investigation, and practical application, this research contributes to addressing pressing global challenges. As communities seek solutions for water-related issues, our work underlines the significance of innovative approaches in meeting the demands of a rapidly changing world.
