Fabrication and characterization of affordable hydrophobic ceramic hollow fibre membrane for contacting processes

Abstract Affordable hydrophobic hollow fibre membranes were prepared using kaolin and alumina based ceramic powders via a combined phase inversion and sintering technique, followed by a grafting with fluoroalkylsilane (FAS). The crux of the matter in this paper is to study the changes in the propert...
