Abstract
Membrane separation and photocatalytic degradation are two important technologies for wastewater purification. However, practical applications are hindered by membrane fouling in membrane separation and the low efficiency of photocatalysis. A promising solution lies in the fusion of photocatalysis and membrane technology, capitalizing on their respective strengths and addressing their weaknesses. This comprehensive review endeavours to present a thorough examination of recent advancements in photocatalytic membrane materials and reactors for wastewater treatment. Key facets encompass the fundamentals of photodegradation, the contributions of different light bands to waste removal, various fabrication…
