Removal of antibiotics from water resources is essential for their harmful effects on living organisms. In this work, a polymeric membrane based on polyvinylidene fluoride deposited by cellulose loaded with Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (PVDF /Cellulose/MgO) has been prepared. The prepared membrane was characterized using FESEM, XRD, AFM, and contact angle measurement. The efficiency of the prepared membranes as an adsorbent for removing amoxicillin as a model pollutant was investigated. The effect of pH, amoxicillin concentration, and the time on the removal of amoxicillin was studied. The results showed that with a decrease in pH, a reduction in the initial concentration of amoxicillin, and an increase in time, the percentage of amoxicillin removal increases, and the maximum percentage of amoxicillin removal was obtained at about 85% at 200 mg/liter of amoxicillin, pH = 3, and 100 min. The kinetic of amoxicillin removal using PVDF/Cellulose/MgO membrane was also investigated. These results confirmed that PVDF/Cellulose/MgO membrane would be a potential adsorbent for removing amoxicillin from contaminated water.
