By incorporating mesoporous silica (mSiO2) nanoparticles, synthesized via a water-soluble precursor route, into a polysulfone (PSf) matrix, a synergistic adsorptive-filtration platform was established for ciprofloxacin (CIP) remediation. The incorporation of mSiO2 nanoparticles influences the mass transfer rate between solvent and nonsolvent during the membrane production process and promotes modification in the asymmetric structure of the membrane, resulting in the formation of finger-like cavities and open terminal channels with reduced wall thickness. The mSiO2 incorporation promoted greater and interconnected porosity, in addition to greater hydrophilicity confirmed by the surface analysis. Results demonstrate a transition from ultrafiltration-like (UF-like) to nanofiltration-like (NF-like) behavior with increasing PSf concentration. For membranes cast from the 15 wt % PSf solution the addition of mSiO2 increased the flux and yielded a 4-fold increase in CIP removal capacity. For the PSf-20 series membrane, the incorporation of mSiO2 nanoparticles enhanced water flux while maintaining high CIP rejection (83.3 \u00b1 13.4%). Notably, the PSf-18 series emerged as the optimized formulation, achieving a superior balance between high permeability and selectivity. This performance is driven by a synergistic mechanism: while the negative surface potential facilitates Donnan exclusion of zwitterionic CIP, the internal architecture enables convective-enhanced adsorption within the mSiO2 micro and mesopores. These findings highlight the potential of PSf\/mSiO2 membranes as a low-pressure (2 bar), energy-efficient platform for advanced treatment of emerging micropollutants, providing a foundational step for future applications under more complex operating conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.6c03535","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]],"date-time":"2026-08-04T13:09:55Z","timestamp":1785848995000},"page":"46305-46321","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mesoporous Silica\nfrom Water-Soluble Precursors in\nHybrid Polysulfone Membranes: A Strategy for Enhanced Ciprofloxacin\nRemoval under Low-Pressure Filtration"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4640-4329","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Diogo Augusto","family":"da Silva de Assis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Parana\u0301 , , Coronel Francisco H. dos Santos Street, 210 , , ,","place":["Curitiba, Parana\u0301, Brazil, 80060-000"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Biscola Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Parana\u0301 , , Coronel Francisco H. dos Santos Street, 210 , , ,","place":["Curitiba, Parana\u0301, Brazil, 80060-000"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4337-9693","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Daniel","family":"Eiras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Parana\u0301 , , Coronel Francisco H. dos Santos Street, 210 , , ,","place":["Curitiba, Parana\u0301, Brazil, 80060-000"]},{"name":"Federal University of Parana\u0301 , , Coronel Francisco H. dos Santos Street, 210 , , ,","place":["Curitiba, Parana\u0301, Brazil, 80060-000"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026081110185391700_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"112495","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envres.2021.112495","article-title":"When pharmaceutical\ndrugs become\nenvironmental pollutants: Potential neural effects and underlying\nmechanisms","volume":"205","author":"Vaudin","year":"2022","journal-title":"Environ.
