Removal of Bisphenol A and its Reaction-Intermediates from Aqueous Solution by Ozonation

Photocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A using Ti-substituted hydroxyapatite

“…Bisphenol A (BPA) is a common industrial raw material widely used in the manufacturing of epoxy resin, polycarbonate resin, and polystyrene resin [1]. If the end products, that is, plastic products, food containers, medical supplies, etc., are directly discharged into rivers and seas or discharged with the waste effluent, BPA will be released into the environment, especially an aquatic environment [2]. In recent years, BPA has been frequently detected in water and drinking water all over the world [3].…”

Ultrasonic Fenton-like catalytic degradation of bisphenol A by ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles prepared from steel pickling waste liquor

“…Due to the daily use of these products, BPA can be inadvertently released into the environment, and have been detected in treated drinking water, effluents from wastewater treatment plants, wastewater sludge, landfill leachates and tissues of aquatic animals, etc. [26]. Unfortunately, the BPA has also been detected in drinking water, food, aquatic animals and even human beings [26][27][28][29].…”

“…[26]. Unfortunately, the BPA has also been detected in drinking water, food, aquatic animals and even human beings [26][27][28][29]. The widespread occurrence of BPA has pose threat to living species on the earth not only for its estrogenic activity but also for other adverse effects including carcinogenicity, sperm count reduction and genotoxicity [30][31][32][33].…”

Removal of bisphenol derivatives through quinone oxidation by polyphenol oxidase and subsequent quinone adsorption on chitosan in the heterogeneous system

“…[9][10][11] For solving such an environmental problem, many studies have been performed on removal or degradation of BPA by various treatment techniques in the last decade. Conventional chemical and physical procedures include electrolysis, [12] catalytic photodegradation, [13][14][15][16] adsorption, [17][18][19][20] nanofiltration, [21] ozonation, [22,23] fenton oxidation, [24,25] and chemical oxidation. [26] In addition, biodegradation of BPA by microorganisms has also been published in some articles.…”
