PMRs Utilizing Non–Pressure-Driven Membrane Techniques
2018
In the present chapter it is shown how photocatalytic membrane reactors utilizing membrane processes, which are not pressure driven, can exploit various mechanisms to obtain a substantial improvement of the process. The fundamentals of this particular type of membrane reactors are reviewed including the effects of the most important parameters and the methods and rules of coupling photocatalysis and membrane separation. The survey of the studies on photocatalytic membrane reactors (PMRs) utilizing pervaporation, dialysis, membrane contactors and membrane distillation offers the opportunity of discussing the advantages with respect to PMRs adopting pressure driven membrane processes.

Photocatalytic membranes based on TiO2 catalysts and fluorinated polymers for CO2 conversion
2015
In this work, prepared TiO2–Nafion™-based membranes were used in a photocatalytic membrane reactor, operated in continuous mode, for converting CO2 to methanol.
