Title: | Concurrent filtration and solar photocatalytic disinfection/degradation using high-performance Ag/TiO2 nanofiber membrane | Authors: | Liu, Lei Liu, Zhaoyang Bai, Hongwei Sun, Darren Delai |
Issue Date: | 2011 | Source: | Liu, L., Liu, Z., Bai, H., & Sun, D. D. (2012). Concurrent filtration and solar photocatalytic disinfection/degradation using high-performance Ag/TiO2 nanofiber membrane. Water Research, 46(4), 1101-1112. | Series/Report no.: | Water research | Abstract: | A facile polyol synthesis was used for the deposition of Ag nanoparticles on electrospun TiO2 nanofibers for the subsequent fabrication of Ag/TiO2 nanofiber membrane. The permeate flux of the Ag/TiO2 nanofiber membrane was remarkably high compared to commercial P25 deposited membrane. The Ag/TiO2 nanofiber membrane achieved 99.9% bacteria inactivation and 80.0% dye degradation under solar irradiation within 30 min. The Ag/TiO2 nanofiber membrane also showed excellent antibacterial capability without solar irradiation. Considering the excellent intrinsic antibacterial activity and high-performance photocatalytic disinfection/degradation under solar irradiation, this novel membrane proved to have promising applications in water purification industry. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/96244 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/10258 |
