RESUMO
The development of ceramic membranes with different geometries and compositions extends the possibilities of industrial applications, inducing advantages in terms of increased permeability, membrane area by volume module and chemical, thermal and mechanical resistance. The use of low-cost raw materials is a trend that has grown in scientific research. The aim of this work is to prepare membranes with hollow fiber geometry from alumina and residue of quartzite, by the technique of immersion precipitation in distilled water from a mixture of ceramic mass with a solution of polyethersulfone and, synthesized in temperatures of 1100 ºC to 1500 °C. The hollow fiber membranes were characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, particle size distribution, scanning electron microscopy, apparent porosity, flexural strength and permeated water flow by the membranes. The results indicated that the sintering temperature has direct influence on the formation of the mullite phase, and the properties of apparent porosity and permeate flow. The higher the sintering temperature (1400-1500 ° C) increase the formation of the mullite phase, the lower the porosity, as well as the lower the permeate water flow in the membranes. However, there was increase in flexural strength in the hollow fiber membranes with high temperature.
