The application of photocatalysis combined with membrane filtration for the oxidation of humic acid substances (HA) which is one of the major natural organic matters (NOMs) is discussed in this paper. Theoretical model shows a potential advantage of photo-catalytic filtration under low flux conditions. Cross-flow filtration is applied for HA removal using a TiO2 membrane under UV conditions. An increase of the flux through the membrane was observed by applying UV light.

The possibility of application of the process of photocatalytic decomposition of humic substances (humic acid - HA) to their removal from water was investigated. Commercial TiO2 (Evonic-Degussa P-25) and the periodic reactor were used in the experiments. The decomposition under artificial sunlight (ASL) and UV irradiation was tested. It was stated that ASL irradiation is not sufficient to cause significant decomposition of HA whereas TiO2 appeared to be very effective under the UV irradiation. Strong adsorption of HA on the surface of TiO2 was observed.
