Performance of polycaprolactone/TiO2 composite membrane for the effective treatment of dairy effluents

This work is the first, to the best of our knowledge, to use polycaprolactone (PCL)-based membrane for the treatment of dairy wastewater. PCL is a biodegradable polymer with high biocompatibility and good oil resistance. The chlorine tolerance analysis of PCL-based membranes exhibited a good toleran...
