Kaolin based ceramic supports were prepared using different amounts of calcium and sodium carbonates. The mean pore size and water permeability were in the range 0.3-0.8 μm and 78.1027 L/h m2 bar, respectively. Relatively higher porosity, permeability (due to large pores) and chemical stability were obtained for calcium carbonate supports, whereas, higher pore density values (due to small pores) and mechanical strength were obtained for sodium carbonate supports. Mercury intrusion porosimetry confirmed the results of permeation tests. Results indicated that 20 wt% calcium carbonate and 10 wt% sodium carbonate are optimum in terms of porosity, mean pore-size and poredensity. A selected support (C2) having 0.5 μm pore size, 37% porosity and 48 MPa flexural strength was validated for microfiltration of oil-in-water emulsions.
