Configurations and Membranes of Photocatalytic Membrane Reactors for Water and Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

The new photocatalytic membrane reactor composed of photocatalysis and membrane separation not only has the advantages of combination, but also can effectively solve the separation problem of harsh system and recover the catalyst particles in wastewater treatment. Especially, the coupling system greatly improves the efficiency of treatment of high concentration organic wastewater. In this paper, the structure and operation mode of different types of photocatalytic membrane reactors are studied and prospected.
