“…The parameters of the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model for EE2 (K f : 1.25−2.08, 1/n: 0.327−1.760) were observed by Joseph et al (2013). PAC was found to be an effective adsorbent for removing BPA and EE2; degrees of removal were in the range of 34-99%.…”

“…Carbonaceous nanomaterials. Lab-scale studies have demonstrated encouraging adsorption potential by C-ENMs of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals from synthetic [366][367][368] and natural waters [369,370], as well as landfill leachate [371]. A combined coagulation-adsorption technique for removing EDCs was recently employed using SWCNT, MWCNTs, and powdered activated carbon but the results were similar to using adsorption alone [369].…”

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the secondary effluent discharged from wastewater treatment plants are of great concern when water reuse is intended. The combined process of ozone (O 3 ) and ultrafiltration (UF) is a promising EDC removal method. The removal efficiency of five EDCs using O 3 , UF and their combination were investigated and compared. The five EDCs were estrone, 17β-estradiol, estriol, 17α-ethynyl estradiol and bisphenol A, which are typically present in secondary effluent. Results showed that organic matters in secondary effluent became easier to be removed by the combined process, with ultraviolet absorbance reduction enhanced by 11%-18% or 24%-26% compared to the UF or O 3 alone. The removal efficiency of EDC concentration, estrogenicity and acute ecotoxicity by the combined process was 17%-29% or 54%-92%, 19% or 73%, 40% or 60% greater, respectively, than that of the O 3 or UF alone. Particularly, when EDCs were treated by the combination of O 3 and UF, about 100% EDC removal efficiency was achieved. Overall, the combined application of O 3 and UF offers an effective approach to control the concentration and toxicity of EDCs in secondary effluent.
