Abstract
Membrane fouling is one of the major challenges limiting the application of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) in various separation processes. To address this issue, we incorporated the photocatalyst NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) (NM88B) into a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix, creating a novel photocatalytic MMMs that can effectively degrade organic pollutants under light irradiation. This innovative approach endows the membrane with both enhanced permeability and separation selectivity, which is attributed to the hydrophilic groups of the photocatalyst, as well as significant photo-Fenton catalytic capability. The NM88B/PVDF membrane exhibits high permeability (546.4 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1) and excellent catalytic degradation of dyes (over 99 %) and antibiotics (over 90 %) due to the synergistic effects of membrane separation and the photo-Fenton process. After ten cycles of self-cleaning tests, the membrane maintained superior antifouling capacity and degradation performance. This study advances the development of MMMs by addressing the persistent issue of membrane fouling while enhancing pollutant removal efficiency.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Water Process Engineering aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and impact in all areas of the engineering of water and wastewater processing . Papers on advanced and novel treatment processes and technologies are particularly welcome. The Journal considers papers in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology applications in water, novel oxidation and separation processes, membrane processes (except those for desalination) , catalytic processes for the removal of water contaminants, sustainable processes, water reuse and recycling, water use and wastewater minimization, integrated/hybrid technology, process modeling of water treatment and novel treatment processes. Submissions on the subject of adsorbents, including standard measurements of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium will only be considered if there is a genuine case for novelty and contribution, for example highly novel, sustainable adsorbents and their use: papers on activated carbon-type materials derived from natural matter, or surfactant-modified clays and related minerals, would not fulfil this criterion. The Journal particularly welcomes contributions involving environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, including those which are energy-efficient, with minimal or no chemical consumption, and capable of water recycling and reuse that minimizes the direct disposal of wastewater to the aquatic environment. Papers that describe novel ideas for solving issues related to water quality and availability are also welcome, as are those that show the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. The Journal will consider papers dealing with processes for various water matrices including drinking water (except desalination), domestic, urban and industrial wastewaters, in addition to their residues. It is expected that the journal will be of particular relevance to chemical and process engineers working in the field. The Journal welcomes Full Text papers, Short Communications, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to Editors and Case Studies
