In flow-through reactors, the photodegradation rate can be improved by enhancing contact and increasing the photocatalyst loading. Both can be attained with a higher surface-to-volume ratio. While previous studies focused on thin membranes (30 - 130 µm) with small pore sizes of 20 - 650 nm, this work employed poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) supports, of which pore sizes are in the order of 10 µm, while the porosities and thicknesses are variable (22.5 - 45.3 % and 0.2 - 3 mm, respectively). These porous materials were anticipated to allow a higher loading of porphyrin photosensitisers and better light penetration for subsequent photodegradation of steroid hormone micropollutants via singlet oxygen (
