The Challenge

  • Universal access to clean water is addresses in the UN’s SDG6.
  • Due to human activities antibiotics are being observed in environmental waters at concentrations greater than µg/L.1,2 Antibiotics in the environment are toxic to biodiversity and contribute to the spread of antimicrobial resistance.
  • Antibiotics cannot be removed through traditional water treatment (estimated to reach removal <10 %), therefore advanced treatment options are required.
  • Sorption is a possible solution, and the development of new sorbent materials is required.
  • However, many studies assessing performance of new sorbent materials have limitations which decrease the chance of materials reaching industrial application:
