A set of titanium dioxide/polyvinylidene fluoride (TiO2/PVDF) dual layer hollow fiber (DLHF) membranes with various weight ratios (i.e., 0, 0.2. 0.5, 0.7, and 1) were prepared. This work investigated the effect of TiO2 loading and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation intensity toward the separation performa...
