In this regard, four new and economical microfiltration membranes: kaolin–zeolite (K–Z), kaolin–zeolite–fly ash (K–Z–F), kaolin–alumina (K–A), and kaolin–alumina–fly ash (K–A–F), were made by extrusion method. Some physical characteristics of the fabricated membranes were investigated. The highest porosity related to K–A–F, and the average size of the pores in the membranes was between 0.8 and 1.537 μm. SEM analysis was also performed to prove the uniformity of the membrane structure. After the cell breaking of <i>Arthrospira platensis</i> (spirulina) in water through freeze-thawing and centrifugation, the solution is purified by microfiltration.

In the second experiment, seeds were subjected to ultrasonic waves for different durations (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 min). Both experiments involved various osmotic pressures (OP) induced by NaCl (0, − 2, − 4, − 6, and − 8 MPa) and PEG 4000 (matching OPs) with three replications each.

The LBM model for water hammer in pipes is improved by introducing the one dimensional with two lattice velocities discrete model (D1Q2).
