Highly efficient membrane materials were tested in selective separation of several antibiotics from water: Tetracycline, Trimethoprim, Sulfamethoxazole, as well as their mixture. Numerous sorption and pertraction experiments have been done, confirming that an accumulation of the antibiotic in the membrane is clearly higher during the sorption then during the pertraction, which is caused by the transport of the substance through the membrane. Plus, during the sorption, the membrane is saturated in the whole volume. In addition, the substances influence the transport of each other a there is a possibility of coupling effect in case of pertraction of mixture of antibiotics. Prepared and used membranes were characterized by IR spectroscopy.
