Clay based ceramic materials have been used in various parts of the world as a medium to
purify and store water at points of use. United Nations and several other non governmental …

This article discusses the characterization of local clay-organic (CO) ceramics used in the
microfiltration application in India. Local clay and sawdust were the raw materials for these …

Ceramic water filtration is the process that makes use of a porous ceramic (fired clay)
medium to filter microbes or other contaminants from water. Ceramic water filtration has …

This paper presents the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study of the
effects of sintering temperature on the mechanical and filtration properties of clay ceramic …

Water flow through point-of-use porous ceramic water treatment filters have been
theoretically analyzed in this technical paper. Filters tested were manufactured by combining …

Frustum shaped clay ceramic water filters are being manufactured by the potters of the Thar
Desert in India for household use. The clay composite consists of a homogeneous mixture of …

The spread of Diseases like Cholera and Diarrhea, which leads to loss of lives in developing
countries is commonly caused by use of contaminated water. In this study ceramic pot filters …

Porous ceramics with three different porosities were fabricated by the sintering of redart clay
and woodchips (sawdust). The latter was used as the pore-forming agent in porous ceramic …

Water pollution in India is a major problem. The root cause of a number of diseases is water
pollution. Effective household water purification is needed to prevent the waterborne …
