This study presents the fabrication of a novel water filter using porous MgO ceramics, aimed at effectively removing organic contaminants like benzene, xylene, and toluene. The filtering mechanism exploits the nanocapillary effect within the nanoporous structure, enhancing the catalytic activity of magnesium oxide and increasing the reactive surface area to treat contaminated water. This approach not only improves water purification efficiency but also offers reproducible production techniques for MgO ceramic filters, paving the way for advanced water treatment solutions.
