This study demonstrated that Co-doped TiO2 @SiO2 photocatalyst can enhance the photo-sensitivity and photocatalytic activity of the composite, improving the membrane performance significantly, showing great potential for practical applications.
This study investigates the effects of cobalt (Co) doped TiO2 @SiO2 photocatalyst in the polysulfone (PSf) membrane that performed a combined membrane filtration and photocatalytic process under UV light irradiation for petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) treatment. The photocatalyst composites were synthesized using the sol-gel method, and the membranes were prepared using the phase inversion technique. Characterization results showed that the Co doping in TiO2 successfully improved the photo-sensitivity and photocatalytic activity of the composite, suggesting the reduction of the bandgap energy from 3.10 eV to 3.00 eV, which promoted the photocatalytic activity improvement. The addition of Co-TiO2 @SiO2 photocatalyst improved the membrane's porosity, hydrophilicity, water uptake ability, affinity towards water molecules, and mechanical strength. Furthermore, the PSf/Co-TiO2 @SiO2 membrane also exhibited enhanced performance on permeate flux, pollutant rejection, stability, recyclability, and durability. The fabricated photocatalytic membranes also exhibited superior antifouling performance and flux recovery ability when they performed under UV light irradiation.
