第七章 結論與建議
7.2 建議
垢物如生物高分子及腐植酸，並大幅改善薄膜過濾性能，顯示此複合系 統之應用潛力。
7.2 建議
光觸媒及不織布薄膜複合系統具有穩定操作通量及低過膜壓力之優 勢，但系統之建立及發展仍有許多限制，後續相關研究方向，建議如下：
1. 光觸媒使用 UV 光源為耗能來源，亦限制此技術之廣泛應用。藉由光觸 媒改質技術發展，以建立可見光可激發之光觸媒，可以降低能源消耗，
有助於加速此技術發展。
2. 異相光觸媒系統藉由吸附劑或無機性鹽類或基材添加，將可以加速光觸 媒反應及改善薄膜過濾性，但相關機制需要再深入研究。

1. Background
The Author, Ren-Yang Horng, was born on October 10, 1949 in Changhua, Taiwan.
He received a B.S degree in Textile Engineering from the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei, Taiwan in 1983. After graduation, He enrolled in Chinese Marine Corps (CMP) as a Second Lieutenant. He entered several local companies related to textile industry to accumulate his work experiences and to prepare for further study after retired from military. In 1989, He changed his major to environmental engineering and enrolled as a master degree student in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, NY, USA. Then, he went back to Taiwan and has worked at ITRI for more than 18 years in environmental engineering especially water and wastewater treatment, sludge treatment and reduction, and water reuse and reclamation. Fortunately, He has a great opportunity to go back academic and jointed the outstanding research group of Prof. Chih-Ping Huang and to pursuit his further studies on photodegradation characteristics and filtration behavior in the hybrid system of photocatalytic oxidation and non-woven membrane filtration in the Ph. D.
programs at the National Chiao-Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan.
