The membrane separation process allows the photocatalyst to be easily separated, recovered and reused. More significantly, the membrane is efficient to maintain high flux of membranes as the photocatalyst can reduce the membrane fouling problem which is a hindrance in the development of membrane process. Moreover, some synergistic effects can also be produced, and thus the efficiency of water treatment is enhanced greatly. A comprehensive review of photocatalysis-membrane separation coupling technology is conducted with an insight into its configurations, theories involved, characteristics, and factors that influ-ence the coupling technology. In view of the existing problems, the prospects for future development are also proposed.展开更多

The membrane is the key of the membrane separation process. In this paper, preparation, characterization and laboratory testing of the membrane, which was prepared from sodium alginate, hydrogen bond cross-linked with sodium tartrate and used for CO2/N2 separation, were reported. The resistance to SO2 of the membrane was also investigated. The experimental results demonstrate that the membrane possesses a high resistance to SO2.Finally,based on experimental results, the economic feasibility of the membrane used for CO2/N2 separation was evaluated,indicating the two-stage membrane process can compete with the traditional chemical absorption method.展开更多
