研究目的
To investigate the modification of PVDF membrane with TiO2 coating to increase hydrophilicity for application in a photocatalytic membrane for dye wastewater treatment.
研究成果
TiO2 coating successfully modified PVDF membranes by increasing hydrophilicity and enabling photocatalytic activity. The optimum coating condition was 1.0 g/L TiO2 for 60 min, achieving significant decolorization of RB 19. The photocatalytic membrane combines filtration and oxidation processes, offering a feasible method for wastewater treatment, though efficiency is lower than standalone photocatalytic oxidation.
研究不足
The decolorization efficiency by photocatalytic membrane was lower than photocatalytic oxidation due to reduced light intensity on TiO2 attached to the membrane. Porosity fluctuations and potential TiO2 aggregation may affect performance. The study is limited to RB 19 dye and specific experimental conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a dipping-coating method to modify PVDF membranes with TiO2, aiming to enhance hydrophilicity and photocatalytic activity. Methods included contact angle measurement, SEM, porosity analysis, and decolorization experiments under UV light.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
PVDF flat sheet membranes were purchased, and TiO2 particles were supplied commercially. RB 19 dye was used as the model pollutant in wastewater.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a goniometer, SEM-EDS, spectrophotometer, peristaltic pump, membrane module, UV lamp, pH meter, and laser particle sizer. Materials included PVDF membrane, TiO2, RB 19 dye, HCl, NaOH, and deionized water.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Membranes were coated with TiO2 solutions (0.1-1.0 g/L) for 5-60 min, rinsed, dried, and characterized. Decolorization experiments were conducted with photocatalytic oxidation, photolysis, and filtration processes under controlled pH, concentration, and time conditions.
5:1-0 g/L) for 5-60 min, rinsed, dried, and characterized. Decolorization experiments were conducted with photocatalytic oxidation, photolysis, and filtration processes under controlled pH, concentration, and time conditions. Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: Data were analyzed using expressions for water flux, porosity, and removal efficiency, with statistical analysis implied through repeated measurements and comparisons.
