Different loadings (0\u20131.0 wt%) of TNT photocatalysts were physically mixed into PVDF dope solution prior to the membrane fabrication through dry\/wet phase inversion process. The membranes modules were subsequently fitted into a 15 L SMPR tank, with a UV light source placed at the center of the SMPR. The performance analysis indicated that PVDF-TNT0.5 showed the best colour removal of 67.3%. The synergistic effects rendered by both membrane filtration and photocatalysis have remarkably improved the colour removal efficiency compared to filtration alone that barely exhibited colour removal of 34.2%.
