“…14, in the experiment, a linear fit was performed by lnK C to − 1/T, and the equation lnK C = 1268.1 (− 1/T) + 43.37 was obtained, ΔH θ was obtained from the slope of the fitted line, and ΔS θ was obtained by the intercept. Then, the ΔG θ at 298 K, 308 K, and 318 K were calculated according to formula (7), and the experimental results were shown in Table 3. It can be seen from the table that the Gibbs free energy (ΔG θ ) of copper sulfide adsorbed EE2 was negative, the thermodynamic enthalpy (ΔH θ ) was positive, and the entropy (ΔS θ ) was positive, indicated that the adsorption was a spontaneous endothermic process with increased entropy.…”

“…EE2 is commonly used in contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy. However, studies have shown that EE2 can bring serious harm to living things and humans and cause diseases such as reproductive system disorders, infertility, and cancer [3][4][5][6][7].. Therefore, how to effectively and inexpensively remove EE2 from water is particularly urgent.…”

In the present work, a tubular nano-copper sulfide was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. The physical and chemical properties of the prepared materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and BET. The synthesized copper sulfide was used as an adsorbent for removing 17α-ethynyl estradiol (EE2) and exhibited excellent adsorption properties. At 25°C, 15 mg of adsorbent was applied for 50 mL of 5 mg/L EE2 solution, adsorption equilibrium was reached after 180 min, and the adsorption rate reached nearly 90%. In addition, the kinetics, isothermal adsorption, and thermodynamics of the adsorption process were discussed on the basis of theoretical calculations and experimental results. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of copper sulfide was calculated to be 147.06 mg/g. The results of this study indicated that copper sulfide was a stable and efficient adsorbent with promising practical applications.

“…In both cases, exposure to EDCs has been associated with several diseases involving the reproductive (Xin, Susiarjo et al ;Topper, Walker et al 2015;Uzumcu and Zama 2016), immune (Bado-Nilles, Techer et al 2014;Dietert 2015;Teitelbaum, Belpoggi et al 2015;Heindel and Zoeller 2016) and neurological (Rebuli and Patisaul 2016;Rosenfeld 2016) systems. Furthermore, EDCs are ubiquitous since they have been detected in almost all water matrices including treated and untreated wastewaters (Hamid and Eskicioglu 2012;Nie, Qiang et al 2012;Manickum and John 2014;Belhaj, Baccar et al 2015;Komesli, Muz et al 2015), surface waters ( de Vlaming, Biales et al 2007;Jiang, Yan et al 2012;Esteban, Gorga et al 2014), groundwaters (Campbell, Borglin et al 2006;Shi, Hu et al 2013), and even drinking waters (Li, Ying et al 2010;Bach, Dauchy et al 2012). Neverstheless, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as the major source of EDCs (Ternes, Stumpf et al 1999;Jackson and Sutton 2008;Adams, Quraishi et al 2014).…”

Ozonation has been proven effective for the removal of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in water. However, conventional ozonation processesare still limited by ozone low solubility and stability in water. These limitations may be overcome by mixing a prior ozoneloaded non-polar solvent with the aqueous solution. This two-phase ozonation process combines Liquid-liquid extraction and Ozonation (LLO). Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) was chosen as the solvent to be charged with ozone for its non-toxicity, reusability and high ozone solubility. A concurrent LLO column reactor was designed for the simultaneous degradation of three endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in water: Estrone (E1), 17βestradiol (E2) and 17α-estradiol (EE2). Results showed that 98% of EDCs were removed effectively from a solution initially concentrated at 1 mg L-1. The efficacy of the degradation depends essentially of the column feeding flow rate, the ozone dose and the operating pH. The generation of byproducts during EDCs degradation by LLO was also investigated in this study. For a complete removal of both EDCs and byproducts, the dose of ozone had to be doubled.

“…This concern has, consequently, motivated research into EDC including their detection and occurrence in the environment, as well as development of effective method for their elimination in freshwater and wastewater. Recent studies have detected EDC in wastewater (Table 1) and the receiving waterbodies in many countries (Barber, Loyo-Rosales, Rice, Minarik, & Oskouie, 2015;Komesli, Muz, Ak, Bakirdere, & Gokcay, 2015;Noutsopoulos et al, 2015;Vajda et al, 2015). The micropollutants have also been detected in drinking water and sediments (Liu, Kanjo, & Mizutani, 2009).…”

Ligninolytic enzymes: Versatile biocatalysts for the elimination of endocrine‐disrupting chemicals in wastewater

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Direct municipal wastewater effluent discharge from treatment plants has been identified as the major source of endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDC) in freshwaters. Consequently, efficient elimination of EDC in wastewater is significant to good water quality. However, conventional wastewater treatment approaches have been deficient in the complete removal of these contaminants. Hence, the exploration of new and more efficient methods for elimination of EDC in wastewater is imperative. Enzymatic treatment approach has been suggested as a suitable option. Nonetheless, ligninolytic enzymes seem to be the most promising group of enzymes for EDC elimination, perhaps, owing to their unique catalytic properties and characteristic high redox potentials for oxidation of a wide spectrum of organic compounds. Therefore, this paper discusses the potential of some ligninolytic enzymes (laccase, manganese peroxidase, and versatile peroxidase) in the elimination of EDC in wastewater and proposes a new scheme of wastewater treatment process for EDC removal.
