Abstract

Water contamination by various species, including heavy metals, dust, dyes, pesticides, pathogens, and organic and inorganic substances, poses a stern hazard to health of the human and environment. Various conventional methods for decontamination and improving water quality are practical; most are however, inadequate, less effective, time-consuming and expensive. Photocatalytic membranes (PMs) technology with light-sensitive functionalities can be efficiently used to remove noxious pollutants from aqueous systems, thereby reducing operational costs and environmental impact. This review focuses the fundamentals of PM function, current developments in material synthesis, and the potential of green synthetic methods to develop sustainable PMs for sustainable future. Because of their high efficiency and minimal environmental impact, these technologies offer a promising solution to the pressing need for efficient water filtration in urban and industrial settings.

作为水净化剂的光催化膜

重金属、灰尘、染料、杀虫剂、病原体以及有机和无机物质等各种物质对水的污染对人类健康和环境造成了严重危害。各种用于净化和改善水质的传统方法都很实用，但大多数方法都存在不足、效果不佳、耗时且昂贵。具有光敏功能的光催化膜（PMs）技术可有效去除水系统中的有害污染物，从而降低运营成本和对环境的影响。这篇综述重点介绍了光催化膜功能的基本原理、材料合成的最新进展，以及绿色合成方法在开发可持续光催化膜以实现可持续未来方面的潜力。这些技术效率高、对环境影响小，为满足城市和工业环境对高效水过滤的迫切需求提供了一种前景广阔的解决方案。
