Abstract
The purpose of coupling Microfiltration (MF) with the catalytic process is to separate suspended catalyst from a reaction solution. In this study, submerged ceramic membranes were used. Different operating modes of MF in combination with photocatalysis were investigated: (1) MF separation of the suspended catalyst without UV irradiation and reaction; (2) MF in connection with UV irradiation and active photocatalytic reaction, whereby the catalytic activities of TiO2 catalytic particles were determined and the catalytic reaction rates of suspended particles were compared with that of deposited particles as a cake layer on the membrane surface.The results of the first operating mode showed that a minimum cake layer of deposited catalytic particles on membrane surface was achieved which subsequently exhibited 10 % decline of normalized permeability by controlling the permeate flux.The TOC degradation by the photocatalytic activity with immobilized catalyst was obtained in the range between 61 % and 82 % while with the 0.5 g.L-1 catalytic particles in suspension the measured values was 91.2 % within a period of 2 hours irradiation in both investigated systems.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Engineering Transactions (CET) aims to be a leading international journal for publication of original research and review articles in chemical, process, and environmental engineering. CET begin in 2002 as a vehicle for publication of high-quality papers in chemical engineering, connected with leading international conferences. In 2014, CET opened a new era as an internationally-recognised journal. Articles containing original research results, covering any aspect from molecular phenomena through to industrial case studies and design, with a strong influence of chemical engineering methodologies and ethos are particularly welcome. We encourage state-of-the-art contributions relating to the future of industrial processing, sustainable design, as well as transdisciplinary research that goes beyond the conventional bounds of chemical engineering. Short reviews on hot topics, emerging technologies, and other areas of high interest should highlight unsolved challenges and provide clear directions for future research. The journal publishes periodically with approximately 6 volumes per year. Core topic areas: -Batch processing- Biotechnology- Circular economy and integration- Environmental engineering- Fluid flow and fluid mechanics- Green materials and processing- Heat and mass transfer- Innovation engineering- Life cycle analysis and optimisation- Modelling and simulation- Operations and supply chain management- Particle technology- Process dynamics, flexibility, and control- Process integration and design- Process intensification and optimisation- Process safety- Product development- Reaction engineering- Renewable energy- Separation processes- Smart industry, city, and agriculture- Sustainability- Systems engineering- Thermodynamic- Waste minimisation, processing and management- Water and wastewater engineering
