The use of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear scan anodic stripping voltammetry (LSASV) to predict the selectivity of microfiltration ceramic membranes made from a lump of local clay towards Pb(II) ions filtration is described. The membranes were characterized by different techniques followed by CV analysis of the Fe(CN)63-/Fe(CN)64- redox couple and Pb(II) on bare graphite, raw clay, and clay-modified carbon paste electrode (clay-modified CPE). The effect of clay loading in the range of 1–10 % (w/w) on the electrodes is studied, where an enhanced peak current is observed for 5 % w/w clay. Moreover,adecreaseinthepeak current can be seen for bare graphite electrodes, suggesting that the clay mineral had played asubstantial role in the sieving of heavy metal ions through theceramic membrane. The electroactive surface area of 5% w/w raw clay towards Fe(II) ions was found to be in the order of 3.07 × 10-2 cm2 and higher than 5% w/w clay sintered to 1000 °C and bare graphite. CV analysis shows that both, 5 % w/w raw clay and 5 % w/w clay sintered to 1000 °C exhibited high peak currents towards Pb(II) ions. The mobility of the Pb(II) ions is found to increase when 5% w/w clay sintered to 1000 °C is utilized as membrane/electrode, leading to an increase in the amount of reduced Pb(II) ions on the surfaces of the clay membranes/electrodes. The study suggests successful filtration of Pb(II) ions through the proposed membrane/electrode and a much better accumulation than Fe(II) at the surface of the membrane/electrode before being subjected to filtration.
