The usage of ceramic filtering elements for water treatment in home point-of-entry or field filters nowadays isn’t widespread, but looking forward on amount of advantages, we can suppose it in nearest time. List of advantages includes long operating term, possibility of regeneration, less harmful waste. Nowadays it looks encouraging according to sustainable development trends.
The main factors affecting properties are variety and content of additives, sintering time and properties. During research ceramic filtering element with good filtering properties were obtained and investigated.
Base materials are kaolin and diatomaceous earth, as natural components with minimal processing, additives as borax, soda ash, barium sulfate, starch and etc. were used.
We studied influence of these factors by x-ray analysis to gain optimal surface parameters of material and suspension filtering capacity to analyze these main factors.
Proceeding from results of study we can suppose that material is suitable for point-of-entry home water and field water filters which can be effective for purifying even difficult water.
