Abstract
The paper presents a hybrid method for the advanced removal of low biodegradable organic compounds from water, by
combining the separation selectivity of the membrane with the oxidation efficiency of the photocatalytic process. The aim of this
study is to evaluate the performance of the hybrid method to remove toxic compounds from wastewater. The advanced oxidation
process, based on a photocatalytic reactor with continuous recirculation, ultraviolet (UV) radiations and a membrane, was used
for the removal of 2,4–dichlorphenol (2,4-DCP). The membrane was prepared by immobilization on the carrier material such as
fiberglass through the sol-gel specific method, with layer-by-layer deposition.
