Investigation of diclofenac degradation in a continuous photo-catalytic membrane reactor. Influence of operating parameters.

Highlights: [•] Successful application of submerged-type PMR system for diclofenac degradation. [•] Steady state operation with more than 96% diclofenac degradation. [•] Highest TOC removal with near optimum operating parameters pH∼6, TiO2 0.5g/L. [•] Significant effect of feed water composition on diclofenac mineralization. [•] Negligible membrane fouling in long-term continuous operation of the PMR system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
