The retention of ibuprofen by a nanofiltration membrane (Desal 5 DK) was studied, considering the influence of the different co-existing salt (namely, NaCl, Na2SO4, CaCl2) with varying concentration (ionic strength from 10 to 100 mM). The result shows that the Desal 5 DK cannot reject the ibuprofen...
