In the presented study, X-ray computed tomography (CT) technique was used to visualize the three-dimensional (3D)microstructure of ceramic membrane support made of alternative material - fly ash, kaolin and shale. Standard computedtomography output formats provide usually two-dimensional (2D) information about the object being studied in the form ofimage data set. However, to understand the material internal structure and its mechanical, physicochemical and hydraulicproperties 3D visualization is needed. Our work shows that 3D image data reconstruction can be done with freely availableDREAM.3D and ParaView software instead of costly commercial ones allowing wider community data sharing and greaterfreedom in processing. The resulting 3D model was suitable for quantitative pore space analysis and fluid dynamics modellingand provided important morphological information such as pore and mass shape, cracks, spatial distribution and theconnectivity of the solid matrix.
