The possibility of entrapping polycrystalline TiO2 in a polymeric support, in order to couple the two unit operations, i.e. ultrafiltration and photodegradation of organic pollutants in aqueous solutions, was investigated. To this aim, polymeric membranes for ultrafiltration with entrapped TiO2 were prepared, characterised and tested. The polymeric support chosen was commercial polysulfone (PSf). The membrane preparation was carried out with the technique referred to as phase inversion. A three-component system, with a polymer, a solvent and a non-solvent was used. The best operative conditions were determined in order to obtain the desired membrane morphology. Permeability measurements and photostability tests were also carried out by using a system under pressure. Finally, a preliminary investigation was performed in order to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the membranes with entrapped TiO2 for the oxidation of 4-nitrophenol as a model molecule in aqueous solutions.
