Traditional wastewater treatment often fails to remove pharmaceuticals, necessitating advanced solutions, such as TiO photocatalysis, for post-treatment. However, conventionally applied powder TiO can be cumbersome to separate from treated water. To solve this issue, this study immobilized three TiO photocatalysts (Anatase 16, Anatase 5, and P25) into porous layers and evaluated their efficacy for the degradation of three pharmaceuticals (naproxen, NPX; sulfamethoxazole, SMX; metformin, MTF) in standard solutions and greywater pretreated in a membrane bioreactor (MBR).

- - Polypropylene-based aerogels with high surface area (up to 200 m²/g) have been created for the first time using a method involving chemical crosslinking and phase separation.
- - The development process utilizes techniques like supercritical CO drying or freeze-drying, and incorporates silica-cage multi-amino compounds to form hybrid aerogels.
- - These aerogels exhibit a highly porous structure that can be customized depending on the specific application while remaining cost-effective and chemically resistant.
TiO is the most studied photocatalyst because of its non-toxicity, chemical stability, and low cost. However, the problem of TiO is its low activity in the visible region of the spectrum. In this study, we focused on the preparation of composite photocatalytic materials with altered light absorption properties.
