Self-cleaning photocatalytic PVDF membrane loaded with NH2-MIL-88B/CDs and Graphene oxide for MB separation and degradation

In order to effectively solve the two major problems of photocatalyst recovery and membrane fouling , this research combines photocatalyst and membrane separation technology . In this study, the NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe)/CDs@GO material with good photocatalytic properties was synthesized by hydrothermal method and mechanical stirring, and the photocatalytic membrane was obtained by vacuum filtration. The results show that the NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe)/CDs@GO membrane can effectively intercept and degrade methylene blue (MB). After 10 cycles, the rejection rate of MB can still reach 99.5%, which is about 2.5 times of pure GO membrane (40%). After 15 min of visible light irradiation, the Flux recovery rate (FRR) of NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe)/CDs@GO membrane can reach 95%, and the antifouling performance is excellent. In this study, the composite photocatalytic membrane shows excellent stability, photocatalytic performance and self-cleaning property, which is conducive to widening the application prospect of wastewater treatment .
