Abstract:
The incorporation of nanoparticles (NPs) to membrane has developed the
membrane separation to overcome fouling and to enhance antibacterial
properties of membrane. To date, Titanium Oxide (TiO2) NPs are utilized in
various industrial applications and recently the development in membrane
technology, owing to their superb antifouling, antibacterial, thermal and
mechanical stability. This study aims to evaluate the TiO2 NPs roles to
enhance the membrane quality in terms of antifouling, antibacterial properties
and the membrane performance. The contribution of this study is to bring the
researcher’s attention for the TiO2 NPs importance to modify the membrane
characteristics to overcome the fouling issues.
