Removal of endocrine disrupting compounds and Escherichia coliform from secondary effluents during TiO2 photocatalysis
Introduction In recent years, wastewater reclamation has been considered a viable and attractive method for solving water shortage. The presence of EDCs and Escherichia coliform in wastewater treatment plant effluents (WWTPs) is, however, believed to cause adverse effects in the environment and has been extensively documented 1. To remove them from synthetic and surface water, various methods have been developed 2-3. Among them, TiO2 heterogeneous photocatalysis has attracted increasing attention during the past few years. However, compared with synthetic and surface water, more dissolved organic matter, and suspended solids are present in secondary effluents from WWTPs. This may result in more complicated reactions in solution during photocatalysis. The present study aims to investigate the removal of five EDCs and Escherichia coliform from secondary effluents during T1O2 photocatalysis.
