A promising membrane configuration based on immobilized TiO2<\/sub> on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) dual layer hollow fibre membranes was prepared and successfully employed for the photocatalytic degradation of eight pharmaceuticals. Experiments were carried out in a flow reactor of 0.5\u2009L equipped with a lamp emitting at 254\u2009nm, treating groundwater and secondary wastewater effluent. The efficiency of the new catalyst to phototransform target micropollutants was demonstrated, being dependent on the selected compound. Only the application of photocatalysis using the supported catalyst allowed to increase the phototransformation rate of trimethoprim, metoprolol and carbamazepine treating secondary wastewater effluent (1.4\u20132.2 times faster than photolysis). The determination of electrical energy per order of magnitude of transformation (EEO) confirmed the lowest energy requirements to transform\u00a0\u2026(read more)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
