Abstract
The present work aims to study the viability of combining heterogeneous photocatalysis and nanofiltration as an innovative strategy to improve atrazine elimination from aqueous solution by advanced oxidation processes. In order to promote the photocatalytic oxidation of atrazine, the selective separation of the intermediate products was explored by means of membrane filtration. Two nanofiltration membranes (NF-90 and NF-270) were tested to study their performance for aqueous solutions of atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine), cyanuric acid (2,4,6-trihydroxy-1,3,5-triazine), desethyl-desisopropyl-atrazine (2-chloro-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine) and ammeline (2-hidroxy-4,6-amino-1,3,5-triazine). The influence of membranes and solutes properties on the organic rejection and flux decline was evaluated. Experimental flux declines were systematically small, although the values obtained for NF-90 were slightly larger than those found for NF-270. The highest difference was observed in the cas...
