The impacts of various operating conditions on submerged membrane photocatalytic reactors (SMPR) for organic pollutant separation and degradation: a review

The rapid expansion and development of membrane based wastewater treatment in recent decades have led to the emerging technology of submerged membrane photocatalytic reactors (SMPR), which exhibit not only a lower degree of fouling but are also capable of separating and degrading organic pollutants...
