GO membranes were produced in two different apparatus—one working in vacuum conditions, with the other working with an applied overpressure. The apparatus for the vacuum filtration was supplied by VWR, while the apparatus for the pressure-driven filtration, exploiting the dead-end configuration, was the model HP4750, supplied by Sterlitech (see Figure S1 in the Supporting Information). The filtration experiments were performed in the dead-end apparatus. The pressure applied for the filtration tests was 1 bar, even if a pressure up to 25 bar was tested to verify the GO membrane strength. A nitrogen tank was employed as pressure source. A schematic representation of the setup is reported in Figure S2 in the Supporting Information.
