Antiobiotic Water Filtration

摘要

A waste water filtration media may be formed of a phospholipid layer including a plurality of subunit vaccines, wherein the vaccines are composed of a plurality of antigens from a plurality of bacterial cell walls. The plurality of antigens is configured to bond with antibiotics that may be present in waste water from human or animal waste. The filtration media may be located in a sewage treatment plant, a hospital's sewer line, or a modified in-home pitcher.

主权项

1. A method of removing antibiotics from water comprising the steps of:
providing a plurality of subunit vaccines composed of a plurality of antigens from a plurality of bacterial cell walls; forming a water-permeable filter including a phospholipid layer configured to capture a plurality of pharmaceutical antibiotics; bonding the plurality of subunit vaccines to the phospholipid layer of the water-permeable filter; flowing water containing pharmaceutical antibiotics through the water-permeable, filter; and removing the pharmaceutical antibiotics from the water by bonding the antigens in the phospholipid layer with the pharmaceutical antibiotics.
