Highlights

Catalysts constitutes some significant and highly representative publications referring to this journal Catalysts constitutes some significant and highly representative publications referring to this topic.This
The synergy of membrane separation and photocatalysis results in design of systems that can operate continuously with the simultaneous recovery and reuse of the photocatalyst, the separation of substances from the treated solution and/or the recovery of the reaction products. These systems are known as Photocatalytic Membrane Reactors (PMRs), which can be defined as devices existing in various configurations and synergistically combining the action of a photocatalyst and a membrane leading to chemical transformations
Improvement of process efficiency compared to conventional photoreactors, modularity and easy scale up resulted in a significant growth of interest in the area of PMRs observed in the recent years (Figure 1)
