This study modified the surface of a commercial polyamide membrane with the deposition of TiO2 nanoparticles by the self-assembly method under pressure with high permeability and photocatalytic activity. Changes in membrane characteristics and its performance for photocatalytic properties were evaluated. The results indicated that both membrane hydrophilicity and photocatalytic performance were significantly improved by the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles applied under a pressure of 1 bar. The deposition of the TiO2 particles under pressure was able to maintain the particles on the surface of the membranes and their photocatalytic capacity for three cycles of use. The prepared TiO2 photocatalytic membrane presented a great potential for wastewater treatment and for reuse wastewater systems due its ability to remove methylene blue (MB) dye solution by photocatalytic decomposition and physical separation.

Abstract. The large-pore mesoporous Bi-B-TiO2 nanoparticles with the different Bi/Ti rations were prepared by EISA(evaporation-induced self-assembly) method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N2 absorption-desorption, ultraviolet visible light spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy technologies. The results revealed that all the samples are large aperture mesoporous structures. The crystallite sizes were in the range7-11nm, as confirmed by the results obtained from TEM images. The photodecomposition experiments showed that the photodegradation activity of Bi-B-doped TiO2 was higher than that of undoped TiO2 in degradation of 2, 4–dichlorophenol under visible light irradiation.

Mesoporous TiO2/reduced graphene oxide/Ag (TiO2/RGO/Ag) ternary nanocomposite with effective electrons transfer pathway is obtained by an electrostatic self-assembly method and photo-assisted treatment. Compared with bare mesoporous TiO2 (MT) and mesoporous TiO2/RGO (MTG), the ternary mesoporous TiO2/RGO/Ag (MTGA) nanocomposite exhibited superior photocatalytic performance for the degradation of MB under visible light, and the degradation rate reached 0.017 min-1, which was 3.4 times higher than that of MTG. It is proposed that Ag nanoparticles can form the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) to absorb the visible light and distract the electrons into MT, and RGO can accept the electrons from MT to accelerate the separation efficiency of carriers. The establishment of MTGA ternary nanocomposite make the three components act synergistic effect to enhance the photocatalytic performance.
