Reduced Graphene Oxide/Waste-Derived TiO₂ Composite Membranes: Preliminary Study of a New Material for Hybrid Wastewater Treatment.

ABSTRACT: This work reports the preliminary results of the development of composite self-assembling membranes obtained by the combination of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with commercial Degussa P25 titanium dioxide (TiO₂). The purpose is to demonstrate the possibility of combining, in the same self-standing material, the capability to treat wastewater containing both inorganic and organic pollutants by exploiting the established ability of rGO to capture metal ions together with that of TiO₂ to degrade organic substances. Moreover, this study also investigates the potential photocatalytic properties of tionite (TIO), to demonstrate the feasibility of replacing commercial TiO₂ with such waste-derived TiO₂-containing material, fulfilling a circular economy a
