Finally, in order to compare effectiveness of composite photocatalytic membranes, described above, prepared by photografting, either in the presence or in the absence of an added photopromoter, as well as that of metallic membranes, onto which the semiconductor without any photopromoter was present as a 3–4 μm thick surface layer, directly produced on the nanotechnologically treated surface, with those of other commercial materials, parallel experiments were carried out, by using commercial sheets in which the semiconductor was immobilised, by a method based substantially on glueing by colloidal silica. …”
