The objective of this study is to produce superhydrophilic, low cost kaolin-based ceramic hollow fibre membrane (KHFM) for efficient oily-wastewater separation. The asymmetric KHFMs with short finger-like voids were successfully prepared via a combined phase inversion and sintering technique. It was...
