Abstract
) for soybean oil-in-water emulsion. Importantly, the as-prepared membrane shows excellent flux recovery rate (over 99.93%) attributed to the robust photo-Fenton catalytic activity of β-FeOOH, and the β-FeOOH is chemically bonded to the as-prepared membrane, which makes the as-prepared membrane have good reusability. This work provides hope for the application of self-cleaning membranes in the construction of anti-fouling membranes for wastewater remediation.
