Abstract: 
An indispensable part of modern medicine is the use of active pharmaceutical ingredients. However, a significant part of pharmaceuticals ends up in municipal wastewater treatment plants after administration through excreta. There, they cannot be comprehensively eliminated due to their poor biodegradability and enter the groundwater via the flowing waters. In this study, the use of ceramic membranes for the removal of various active substances, e.g., ibuprofen and diclofenac, from aqueous solutions is investigated and results on the removal efficiency of the membranes investigated are presented.
