Abstract
The chapter presents an overview regarding the nanoenhanced photocatalytic membrane separation process. Photocatalytic membrane can exhibit better properties, such as permeability, water flux, and enhanced photodegradation ability with antifouling tendencies. Different types of photocatalyst along with their composites can be used for membrane fabrication process. Advantages and disadvantages of different types of membrane reactor along with their configuration are illustrated in this chapter. Fabrication process of photocatalytic membrane is also discussed in the subsequent section. Antifouling mechanism of photocatalytic membrane is also discussed in the concluding section of the chapter. This chapter outlines the importance of integration of nanophotocatalysts with the membrane matrix to ensure higher photodegradation of pollutant, enhanced water flux with reduced fouling of the membrane.
