Abstract

Traditional techniques for pollutant removal (e.g., static absorption and membrane nanofiltration) are either time consuming or energy intensive with limited permeances. Here, we demonstrate a protocol to fabricate polyamide (PA)-based regenerable adsorption-based membranes (PA_rab) for ultrafast removal of antibiotics. This protocol describes how to determine the distribution of nanocoatings through the membrane. We also detail the antibiotics removal performance and the regeneration tests. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wang et al. (2023).¹.
