摘要

Abstract

Over the past few years

the presence of steroid estrogens in the environment has become a major concern. In this study

the concentrations of estrone (E1)

17β-estradiol (E2)

and 17α-ethinyl estradiol (EE2) were measured in some wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Iran. These samples were collected from the municipal

rural

livestock

commercial

and hospital WWTPs

extracted by dispersive liquid-liquid micro extraction (DLLME) technique

derivatized

and detected by GC/MS. In these treatment plants

various processes including conventional activated sludge (CAS)

aerated lagoon (AL)

moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR)

and activated sludge with wetland (AS + WL) are used. The highest concentration of hormones was observed in the influents and effluents of livestock

municipal

commercial

and hospital WWTPs

respectively. The maximum elimination rate was obtained in MBBR followed by AS + WL

CAS and AL. The biodegradation and adsorption rates along with adsorption coefficients of lg k

and lg k

were measured for all target compounds.
