The use of ceramic membranes is an effective way to reduce microbial contamination of water without chemicals. Ceramic membranes have a longer service life and more environmentally friendly disposal methods. Creating inexpensive ceramic membranes significantly reduces the load on fine filtration installations, which is especially important for the pharmaceutical, biotechnological and food industries. The aim of the work was to manufacture ceramic membranes of asymmetric configuration based on a matrix and a TiO2-containing selective layer and to investigate the ability of ceramic matrices/membranes to reduce turbidity, chemical oxygen demand and the level of microbial pollution. Two samples of ceramic membrane matrices were synthesized: CM-1 based on aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, borax, ammonium carbonate, and CM-2 based on kaolin, silicon carbide, borax, ammonium bicarbonate and silicon oxide. Various selective coatings were applied to the ceramic matrices by the spin-coating method. To determine and compare the characteristics of the obtained ceramic matrices/membranes, the raw (natural) and purified water were analyzed for the presence of suspended solids (nephelometric method), chemical oxygen demand (photometric method) and the level of microbial contamination (CFU/mL). The antibacterial properties of ceramic membranes were evaluated using the zone of inhibition test, namely the diffusion method in agar. Features of membrane morphology were also studied using scanning electron microscopy. It was determined that the turbidity, chemical oxygen consumption and microbial contamination of the treated water after filtration were reduced. The CM-1.10 ceramic membrane with TiO2 selective layer showed greater efficiency in reducing suspended solids contaned and microbiological pollution indicators. The prospect of using ceramic matrices and ceramic membranes with TiO2 selective layer for natural water purification to eliminate bacterial contamination and contamination with organic substances and improve the organoleptic qualities of water has been confirmed.
