Photocatalytic ceramic membranes have attracted considerable attention for industrial wastewater treatment. However, morphological control of the membrane surface to improve its photocatalytic reactivity for the degradation of organic pollutants remains a challenge. Herein, we report a new nanostructured TiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 composite ceramic membrane prepared from a poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) (POEM) template through a sol-gel method and its photocatalytic performance in the treatment of a model dye compound. The POEM polymeric template allowed the homogeneous distribution of catalytic sites, i.e., the TiO 2 layer, on the Al 2 O 3 membrane surface, resulting in improved organic dye degradation along with effective fouling mitigation. The immobilization of a TiO 2 layer on the Al 2 O 3 membrane support also significantly enhanced the membrane adsorption capacity toward dye organic compounds. An organic removal efficiency of over 96% was achieved with the TiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 composite membrane under Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. In addition, the self-cleaning efficiency of the TiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 composite membrane was remarkably improved by the degradation of organic foulants on the membrane under UV illumination.
