| Summary: | This work evaluated the application of sugarcane bagasse waste in the manufacture of porous ceramic supports for filtration membrane. Kaolinitic clay and sugarcane bagasse waste from the Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ region used as raw materials were characterized regarding their chemical, mineralogical and thermal behavior. Four clayey formulations containing up to 25 wt.% of bagasse waste were prepared, extruded, dried and fired at 950 ºC, 1000 ºC and 1050 °C. The fired supports were characterized by water absorption, apparent porosity, apparent density, linear shrinkage, mechanical strength, mercury porosimetry and microstructural analysis. It was found that the incorporation of bagasse waste increased the total porosity by up to 31 %. The results also showed that the porous support produced with 20 wt.% of sugarcane bagasse waste and fired at 1000 °C has potential for application in low-cost ceramic membranes. These results suggest a highly attractive way for the sustainable valorization of sugarcane bagasse waste. |
