Reverse osmosis is shown to be a viable process for the concentration of highly labile antibiotic solutions. Mathematical n10deJs of antibiotic inactivation by chemical and biological contamination are proposed and correlated with experimental data. Procedures for obtaining high antibiotic recoveries are discussed.
