Efficiency of the catalytic ozonation processes using nanoparticles deposited on pumice in the removal of bisphenol A

Micro-nano bubbles assisted laccase for biocatalytic degradation of bisphenols

“…Numerous studies have shown that BPA is an endocrine disrupting chemical that interferes functions of the hormonal system in humans and animals and even has been shown to cause diverse diseases [6][7][8]. Many techniques including adsorption [9], Fenton reaction [10], activated persulfate oxidation [11], ozonation [12], catalytic oxidation [13], photocatalysis [14], electrocatalysis [15], sonocatalytic degradation [16], biodegradation [17], and enzyme degradation [18,19] have been explored to remove BPA from wastewater. However, the adoption of these remediation strategies is limited due to high cost, low efficiency, and toxic by-products.…”
