This paper presents an overview of the hybrid photocatalytic membrane reactors (PMRs) with ultrafiltration (UF) for the treatment of water and wastewater. The various membrane materials and the advantages of ceramic membranes over polymeric membranes are reported in detail. Membrane fouling is a major issue in slurry PMRs and it affects permeate flux. Therefore the effect of membrane fouling on permeate flux and its control measures are discussed. This review also includes the critical evaluation of potential and commercial photocatalytic ultrafiltration membrane reactor (PUMR) configurations. In the past few decades, more researches were carried out in order to investigate the photocatalyst separation efficiency of UF membranes and it reveals that PUMRs are very much efficient in separating photocatalyst particles from the water as the permeate turbidity after treatment was found to be < 0.1 NTU. Therefore, the photocatalytic separation in PUMRs is also overviewed. Micropollutants are emerging contaminants that pose a serious threat to human life even though their concentrations in the aqueous medium are in nanograms. Therefore the effects of key parameters such as; characteristics of micropollutants and membrane on the removals of MPs is critically reviewed. The economic aspects and process intensification in PUMRs is also overviewed.

本文概述了用于水和废水处理的具有超滤（UF）的混合光催化膜反应器（PMR）。详细报道了各种膜材料以及陶瓷膜相对于聚合物膜的优势。膜结垢是浆料PMR中的主要问题，它会影响渗透通量。因此，讨论了膜污染对渗透通量的影响及其控制措施。这篇综述还包括对潜在的和商业上的光催化超滤膜反应器（PUMR）配置的严格评估。在过去的几十年中，为了研究超滤膜的光催化剂分离效率，进行了更多的研究，结果表明，由于处理后的渗透物浊度小于0.1 NTU，PUMRs从水中分离光催化剂颗粒非常有效。因此，也概述了PUMR中的光催化分离。微污染物是新兴污染物，即使它们在水性介质中的浓度以纳克为单位，也会对人类生命造成严重威胁。因此，关键参数的影响例如；严格审查了微污染物和膜对去除MPs的特性。还概述了PUMR的经济方面和过程强化。微污染物是新兴污染物，即使它们在水性介质中的浓度以纳克为单位，也对人类生命构成严重威胁。因此，关键参数的影响例如；严格审查了微污染物和膜对去除MPs的特性。还概述了PUMR的经济方面和过程强化。微污染物是新兴污染物，即使它们在水性介质中的浓度以纳克为单位，也对人类生命构成严重威胁。因此，关键参数的影响例如；严格审查了微污染物和膜对去除MPs的特性。还概述了PUMR的经济方面和过程强化。
