Abstract: The modification of organic membranes with inorganic nanoparticles has always been a research hotspot. Polydopamine (PDA) can be used to increase the adhesion of titanium dioxide (TiO2) on cellulose acetate/hydroxyapatite (CA/HA) composite membranes. In this study, the effects of PDA polymerization time and TiO2 concentration on membrane structure, hydrophilicity, permeability, mechanical properties, as well as the pollution resistance and photocatalytic performance of composite membrane were investigated. The research results indicate that the introduction of PDA and TiO2 improves the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface, and significantly increases membrane retention. With the increase of PDA polymerization time, the tensile strength of composite membranes increases first and then decreases. TiO2 endows the membrane with photocatalytic performance, improves membrane regeneration performance of organic membranes. The composite membrane exhibites high flux recovery rate and excellent pollution resistance with the PDA polymerization time of 6 h and TiO2 concentration of 0.1% (mass fraction).

Key words: cellulose acetate/hydroxyapatite composite membrane, TiO2 nanoparticle, photocatalytic, wettability, pollution resistance
