Fabrication of silver modified titanium dioxide coated ceramic membrane for bisphenol a removal via photocatalytic membrane

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) base polymeric membrane not only excites under UV light which can cause polymer aging in the long-term operation and limits their impact but also chemical and thermal photostability of polymeric membrane become reduce, which decrease its applications for membrane treatment.
