This work developed and applied a CuO-impregnated bauxite hollow fibre membrane (BHFM) using hydrothermal method for bisphenol A (BPA) photodegradation. BHFM was synthesized through a phase inversion method at optimum sintering at 1300 °C. Subsequently, the physico-chemical properties of CuO-coated...
