Clay-alumina compositions of 0, 20, 40 and 55 weight percent (wt%) clay and rest alumina were maintained in porous support preparation by extrusion followed by sintering at 1300 degrees C for 2.5 h to obtain 3 mm/2 mm (outer diameter/inner diameter) capillary. 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (97%) (C8) was used to modify the capillary surface of all compositions without any intermediate membrane layer to impart hydrophobic characteristics and compared in terms of contact angle produced by the capillaries with water and liquid entry pressure (LEPw). FTIR analysis showed that the hydrophilic surface of the capillary membranes was efficiently modified by the proposed grafting method. Capillary with 55 wt% clay produced a pore size of 1.43 micron and was considered as an ideal candidate for grafting with C8 polymer to impart surface hydrophobicity. The contact angle and LEPw value obtained for this modified membrane (C-55-M) were 145 degrees and 1 bar, respectively. The modified capillary membrane was applied for desalination of brine by air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) at a feed pressure of 0.85 bar. Maximum flux obtained for C-55-M membrane was 98.66 L/m(2) day at a temperature difference of 60 degrees C with salt rejection of 99.96%. Mass transfer coefficient of C-55-M was 16 x 10(-3) mm/s at feed temperature of 70 degrees C. (C) 2016 The Ceramic Society of Japan and the Korean Ceramic Society.
