Review on endocrine disrupting-emerging compounds in urban wastewater: occurrence and removal by photocatalysis and ultrasonic irradiation for wastewater reuse

Treatment options for wastewater effluents from pharmaceutical companies

“…BDD has high thermal conductivity, wide band gap, high e -and hole mobilities, high breakdown electric fields, hardness, optical transparency and chemical inertness (Chen, 2004). Ultrasonic irradiation has been considered as a means of removing estrogenic compounds from contaminated water (Belgiorno et al, 2007;Suri et al, 2007). Hormones, for example, estradiol, estrone and ethinylestradiol, were examined in single component batch and flow through reactors using 0.6, 2 and 4 kW ultrasound sources (Suri et al, 2007).…”

Photocatalytic Treatment of Shower Water Using a Pilot Scale Reactor

“…Countless researches have been made on the photocatalytic treatment of single or a few organic components in water [7][8][9]. Real wastewaters on the other hand have a multitude of pollutants and take longer to treat (typically a few hours) [10][11][12][13][14].…”

Occurrence, Ecotoxicology, and Treatment of Anticancer Agents as Water Contaminants

“…However, many methods have been developed for the general treatment of other endocrine disrupting compounds. These methods include microfiltration and reverse osmosis systems [83], chemical degradations [84], aerobic granular biomass reactors [85], photolysis, and ultrasonic irradiation [86].…”
