Abstract

The preparation of new monotubular macroporous supports prepared from natural moroccan phosphates by extrusion process is reported. The characterization of the supports was performed by MEB to evaluate surface quality and mercury porosimetry for pore diameter. The surface morphology of supports fired at 1000 °C for 3 h does not show any macro defects and the supports show good final characteristics. The average pore diameter is near 10μ m and the porosity is about 43%. Filtration tests of a yeast suspension suggest suitability of these supports for microfiltration or ultrafiltration applications.
