Graphene Oxide Membranes with Photocatalytic Degradation (GO/MIL-88A)¶
Membranes & Advanced Filtration • Est. CapEx: Low-cost / Locally fabricated
Technical Overview¶
This research combines graphene oxide with MIL-88A(Fe) metal-organic framework to create membranes that can both filter and degrade organic pollutants via photo-Fenton reaction. The membrane achieves 99.81% removal of methylene blue dye with enhanced water flux.
Key Specifications & Engineering Parameters¶
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Category | Membranes & Advanced Filtration |
| Capital Cost | Low-cost / Locally fabricated |
| Primary Mechanism | The membrane filters dyes through size exclusion and interlayer spacing, while MIL-88A(Fe) acts as a photocatalyst under visible light, generating reactive oxygen species that degrade adsorbed organic contaminants. This reduces fouling and enhances long-term performance. |
| Target Scale | Household / Village Cluster |
| Standard Lifespan | 10 - 20 Years |
