Abstract

Water pollution, scarcity and lack of clean water are directly affecting people's lives, especially in rural, remote and isolated areas. Statistical results show that about 20% of the population in our country does not have access to clean water, mainly using water from untested or untreated wells, ponds and lakes. This work was carried out to manufacture porous ceramic materials used for water purification, ensuring the quality of domestic water for rural and mountainous areas. Research results on manufacturing porous ceramics using agricultural by-products mixed with kaolin at different ratios show that porous ceramics are made from the ratio of 50:50 for a mixture between kaolin and rice husk (size 1–1.5 mm) for the best filterability. The calcination temperature and calcination time greatly affect the durability and filtration yield of porous ceramics. The research results contribute to providing more choices for people in the application of simple porous ceramic materials to filter domestic water.
