摘要

The high activity and easy recyclability of catalysts are significant challenges in the photocatalytic treatment of wastewater. Combining photocatalytic technology with membrane separation technology to prepare self-cleaning catalytic composite membranes for treating wastewater containing organic pollutants can not only solve the problem of traditional catalyst recovery difficulties but also overcome membrane fouling. In this paper, NH2-MIL-88B was modified by introducing citric acid as a ligand construction defect, and NH2-MIL-88B-CA (NMB-CA) with better photocatalytic performance was obtained. Then, a thin film nanocomposite (TFN) film with better self-cleaning performance was prepared by covalently bonding the NMB-CA nanocatellite to the active polyamide layer through interfacial polymerization and amidination in Polysulfone (PSF) based membrane. The best-performing TFN-2 membrane has even better fouling resistance, removing 98.1% of tetracycline after 8 cycles, and the water flux of the membrane can still recover to 99% of the initial water flux, demonstrating excellent recyclability. TFN membrane prepared in this paper has unique self-cleaning and anti-pollution characteristics, which provides a new solution for efficient treatment of organic-contaminated water.
