One of the major problems in semi-arid regions is the water shortage that has been exacerbated by industrial pollution of water sources. Photocatalytic membranes are a promising solution for treating different industrial effluents for water reuse. In this work, cellulose-MIL-88A membranes were produced by a single-step facile deposition of MIL-88A for separating dyes and emulsions from water followed by cleaning regeneration. The optimized membrane achieved a permeation flux of 5850 L h-1 m-2 bar-1 and a rejection rate of 91–100 % for RB5 textile reactive dye. After use, the clogged membrane was regenerated via photo-Fenton degradation using H2O2 and artificial solar light. After 30 cycles of filtration and regeneration, the membrane presented 98.1 % RB5 rejection rate with 74 % of the initial permeation flux. The membrane was able to separate oil-water emulsions containing diesel, soybean oil or n-hexane. In addition, it was possible to treat real industrial textile wastewater with an efficiency of 61 %. The cellulose-MIL88A photocatalytic membrane is a promising low-cost technology for industrial wastewater treatment using cellulose-based green material.
