“…The evolved heat during physical adsorption is of the same magnitude order as the heats of condensation, for instance, 2.1 -20.9 kJ mol -1 , whereas the heats of chemisorption generally fall between 80-200 kJ mol -1 [38]. In this research, the ΔH° value was 30.6512 kJ mol -1 that signifies that the adsorption of MB should be considered as chemisorption [39]. It has been observed that the adsorbent capacity was mainly a function of the initial concentration of MB, and qm generally increases with increasing initial concentration of MB [38].…”

“…These properties are dangerous to living organisms as well as photosynthesis of microorganisms . [ 12 ] Up to date, various approaches such as advanced oxidation process (AOP) [41], membrane filtration [39], flocculation [42], ozonation [16], photocatalytic degradation [36], biodegradation [31], membrane technology [1] and coagulation [2] have been used to remove organic pollutants from aqueous phase. However, application of traditional methods still faces two inherent limitations including complexity and economic inefficiency.…”

Herein, a facile and low-cost route was used to prepare Polydopamine@Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-67 (PDA@ZIF-67). The structure, morphology, surface functional groups and particle size distribution of PDA@ZIF-67 were studied using FTIR, FESEM, EDS, and BET analyses. The specific surface area and diameter of PDA@ZIF-67 were equal to be 78.203 m2/g and 4.179 mm, respectively. The PDA@ZIF-67 was used as an adsorbent for the adsorption of methylene blue dye. The results show that the maximum adsorption efficiency of methylene blue on the surface of PDA@ZIF-67 is achieved at pH 2, the temperature of 65°C, 10 mg of adsorbent, and methylene blue concentration of 7.5 ppm.Moreover, the adsorption process's isothermal, thermodynamic, and kinetics were studied entirely to consider the adsorption mechanism. The methylene blue molecules located in the fine pores of the PDA@ZIF-67 adsorbent determine the adsorption rate. Moreover, the adsorption process of methylene blue at high temperatures is a spontaneous and endothermic reaction. The adsorption efficiency of PDA@ZIF-67, after the recovery, reached 62.21%, which is an excellent advantage for using this adsorbent.

“…Owing to the diverse physicochemical properties of the endocrine disruptors, several processes can be applied as treatment technologies, obtaining distinct removal efficiencies [41]. Different methods, like biosoption, adsorption, advanced oxidation, membrane filtration, and biodegradation, have been investigated as suitable treatment pathways [113][114][115][116] for the removal of EDCs, mainly bisphenol A, phthalates, natural and synthetic estrogens (estrone, 17α-ethynylestradiol, 17β-estradiol), parabens, alkylphenols, and pharmaceuticals.…”

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) as emerging contaminants have accumulated in the aquatic environment at concentration levels that have been determined to be significant to humans and animals. Several compounds belong to this family, from natural substances (hormones such as estrone, 17β-estradiol, and estriol) to synthetic chemicals, especially pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and plastic-derived compounds (phthalates, bisphenol A). In this review, we discuss recent works regarding EDC occurrence in the aquatic compartment, strengths and limitations of current analytical methods used for their detection, treatment technologies for their removal from water, and the health issues that they can trigger in humans. Nowadays, many EDCs have been identified in significant amounts in different water matrices including drinking water, thus increasing the possibility of entering the food chain. Several studies correlate human exposure to high concentrations of EDCs with serious effects such as infertility, thyroid dysfunction, early puberty, endometriosis, diabetes, and obesity. Although our intention is not to explain all disorders related to EDCs exposure, this review aims to guide future research towards a deeper knowledge of EDCs’ contamination and accumulation in water, highlighting their toxicity and exposure risks to humans.

“…A special type of micropollutant occurring in waters and sewages is the compounds causing disorders of the proper functioning of the endocrine system, the so-called endocrinedisrupting compounds (EDCs). These compounds act directly on the endocrine system, being able to block or mimic the natural hormones responsible for the functioning of certain organs of the human or animal body [2,24]. Additionally, these compounds may cause the growth of certain metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes, as well as endometriosis [2].…”

Application of Radiation Technology in Removing Endocrine Micropollutants from Waters and Wastewaters—A Review

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are increasingly being adopted as a post-treatment after conventional wastewater treatment, mainly due to the efficient removal of biodegradable organic micropollutants. Endocrine disruptors are a specific group of such micropollutants. Many scientific studies demonstrate their extremely harmful effects on living organisms, even at low concentrations in water and wastewater. AOPs based on the generation of reactive species using radiation technologies, these being gamma radiation and electron beam, are still not being used to their full potential. This publication presents the application possibilities of using ionizing radiation for the degradation of selected endocrine micropollutants in water and wastewater.
