Abstract

The research was aimed at producing a cost-effective ceramicfilter for the removal of bacteria in wastewaterusing locally sourced materials. Clay from several locations in Ekiti state, Nigeria was mixed with sawdust(combustible material) to form a ceramicfilter. The results showed that the 50%–50% ratio of Igbara odo clay tosawdust was the most effective and optimum mix. This was in terms of aflow rate of 1.9 L/hour, removal effi-ciencies of 80% and 100% for coliform andE. colibacteria respectively.
