Optimization of extrusion parameters for low-cost alumina–kaolin ceramic membranes via CCD by Mahmoud Moharrami, Mohammadreza Omidkhah, Mohammad Salehi Maleh

“…The optimal precursor composition resulted in a membrane porosity of 54.73 %, an average pore size of 1.935 μm, and a flexural strength of 3.15 MPa, with deviations of 2.26 %, 3.25 %, and 5 %, respectively, from the predicted values. These findings confirm that the RSM-based design model, incorporating porosity, average pore size, and flexural strength as response variables, is a robust tool for optimizing the fabrication of alumina-kaolin ceramic membranes. …”
