I am now reading "Removal of color substances using photocatalytic oxidation for membrane filtration processes" for deeper understanding of what membrane is capable of. The study was aimed to determine the effectivity of UV/TiO2/H2O2 to remove color. So the technique can remove TOC at 38% and color 400 at 89%. ...

So I read this paper, and found something valuable there. Photocatalysis is often used for treating water organic pollutants. Titanium dioxide is usually used because it is stable and inexpensive. This paper stated that one author observed that increasing the initial pH of phenol, increases the decomposition rate, reaching max ...

There are various methods available to coat TiO2 onto the surface of the membrane. I will explain briefly some of them, and the method I used.
Ion assisted deposition
This method was used for coating on super-hydrophobic porous teflon membrane. The author stated that the coating of TiO2 by the chemical wet ...
