Abstract
The coupling of photocatalysis with membrane technology, which is known as photocatalytic membrane reactors (PMRs), has received great consideration in recent years and become a promising approach with the high potential to improve the fouling of membranes. In this paper, the photocatalyst of g-C3N4 treated with H2O2 was incorporated with a polysulfone membrane to enhance the anti-fouling properties of the membrane. AFM, FE-SEM images, porosity, and contact angle analysis indicated that the membrane properties like hydrophilicity, porosity, and surface roughness were improved. Also, UV–visible DRS, PL spectra, EIS analysis confirmed that the treated g-C3N4 (H2O2-g-C3N4) had high light...
