Titanium dioxide nanofibers integrated stainless steel filter for photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceutical compounds

- A photocatalytic metal filter was fabricated with electrospun nanofibrous TiO2.
- PVDF layer effectively acted as a binder between TiO2 nanofibers and metal filter.
- The photocatalytic efficacy of P-SSF was evaluated against pharmaceuticals.
- The photocatalytic efficacy was highly dependent on water flux thru P-SSF.
- Almost 90% of cimetidine was removed at a flux of 10 L/m2 h and 0.1-0.2 kPa TMP.
