Controlling membrane fouling : An electrocatalytic reactor with a TiO 2 /C membrane that functions both as filter and anode was designed for industrial wastewater treatment. During wastewater treatment, the TiO 2 /C membrane generates microflows that alleviate concentration polarization and reactive intermediates that decompose organic foulants on the membrane surface or in pores into CO 2 and H 2 O or small biodegradable products (see picture).
