Progress of Novel TiO2 Photocatalytic Separation Membrane

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2011.00337

Abstract

Abstract: TiO₂ photocatalytic separation membrane is a kind of novel multifunctional composite membrane integrating photocatalysis and separation technologies for water treatment. TiO₂photocatalyst is loaded on the membrane surface or entrapped in the membrane to obtain the composite membrane that makes the TiO₂ recovery problem solved. More significantly, the membrane is efficient to maintain high flux of membranes as the presence of TiO₂ photocatalyst can reduce the membrane fouling problem which is a hindrance in the development of membrane process. Moreover, some synergistic effects can also be produced, and thus the efficiency of water treatment is enhanced greatly. A comprehensive review of TiO₂ photocatalytic separation membrane is conducted with an insight into its types, preparation methods, properties, and its application. In view of the existing problems, the prospects for future development of TiO₂ photocatalytic separation membrane are also proposed.
