Popis: In this work, the porous ceramic multilayer ultrafiltration membrane is developed. Macroporous support was formed by extrusion of ceramic paste derived from natural Moroccan Sahara Clay. The microporous interlayer was then performed by slip casting from zirconia commercial powders and finally the active ultrafiltration toplayer was obtained by solgel route using TiO2 sol. The performance of TiO2 ultrafiltration membrane was evaluated by pores diameter, thickness of the top layer, water flux, and molecular weight cut off (MWCO). The water permeability measured for this composite membrane is 9.051 l/(m2·h·bar), the thickness is around 900nm, the pore diameter is centered near 7nm and the MWCO was about 5000Da.
