A ceramic membrane (CFM) was prepared from Iraqi raw materials by using two main types of clay, white clay soil (Kaolin) and the red clay soil. The red clay soil was Sused for its low melting point, which is lower than kaolin and matured in low firing temperature, in addition to its higher porosity compared to kaolin. The manufacture of this (CFM) was Slip Casting Method, and different additives were used in ratios as pores forming agents in (CFM) such as sawdust and porcelanite rock. These additives were added in ratios (5%, 10%,15%). Porcelanite rock was used in three grades of particle size (106, 75, 53) μm. The result revealed that the porosity and absorption of the filter increased linearly with an increase in the amount of the additives materials. On the other hand, its density inversely related to the porosity. The porosity and absorption increased on increasing porcelanite particle size, while density reduced on increasing porcelanite particle size. The result showed that porosity and absorption of the filter increased linearly with an increase in the additives materials amount, while porosity was inversely affected by the density of ceramic filter. Also, porosity, absorption increased with increasing porcelanite particle size, while density reduced with increasing porcelanite particle size.
