AB  - Photocatalysis has been proved to be a promising approach in wastewater 
      purification. However, it is hard to recycle powdery photocatalysts from 
      wastewater in industry, but immobilizing them using larger materials can overcome 
      this drawback. For that reason, TiO(2)@g-C(3)N(4) was embedded into chitosan to 
      synthesize a highly reusable and visible-light-driven chitosan/TiO(2)@g-C(3)N(4) 
      nanocomposite membrane (CTGM). CTGM showed enhanced photoactivity and the 
      photocatalytic efficiencies of the toxic water pollutants methyl orange (M.O.), 
      rhodamine B (Rh.B), chromium (VI) (Cr (VI)), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and 
      atrazine (ATZ) were more than 90% under visible light at ambient conditions. 
      Significantly, CTGM was easy to recycle and showed excellent reusability: there 
      was no decrease in the photocatalytic decolorization efficiency of Rh.B 
      throughout 10 cycles. A continuous-flow photocatalysis system was set up and 90% 
      of Rh.B was effectively decolorized. A simple approach was developed to prepare a 
      novel, effective and visible-light-driven membrane that was easy to reuse, and a 
      feasible photocatalysis continuous-flow system was designed to be a reference for 
      wastewater treatment in industry.
