The presence of pharmaceutical compounds has been widely identified in water and effluents, mainly due to the increase in their production and consumption. The great worldwide demand for low environmental impact, combined with the growing need for more efficient and competitive water and sewage processes, since conventional treatments are not capable of completely removing these microcontaminants, has motivated the search for more efficient technologies, such as adsorption, in addition to the use of nanotechnology, such as nanoadsorbents. This article addresses a study and technological monitoring of the production of nanocomposites for the adsorption of drugs, using patents as sources of information. For data collection, the Questel Orbit® platform was used, applying the keywords for the searches “composite”, “adsorption”, “drugs” as input. The results of patent prospecting indicated that Chinese Universities and research institutions have the largest share of patents deposited and among the technologies related to nanocomposites, synthesis methods and their application in membranes and catalysis were the ones that stood out the most.
