Abstract
This study aimed to develop and investigate the synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl oleate catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase immobilized on magnetic poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) (STY-DVB-M) particles in a magnetically stabilized fluidized bed reactor (MSFBR) operated in continuous mode. The physical properties of the copolymer were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The glass transition temperature was 85.68 °C, and the onset of thermal degradation occurred at 406.66 °C. Syntheses were performed at 50 °C using a space time of 12 h and a bed porosity of 0.892. Assays were conducted to assess the influence of magnetic field intensity (5 to 15 mT) on reaction yield, ester concentration, and productivity. The highest productivity was 0.850 ± 0.023 mmol g-1 h-1, obtained with a magnetic field intensity of 15 mT. An operational stability test was performed under these conditions, revealing a biocatalyst half-life of 2148 h (179 operation cycles) and a thermal deactivation constant of 3.23 × 10-4 h-1 (R2 = 0.9446). Computational simulations and mathematical modeling were performed using Scilab based on ping-pong bi-bi kinetics and molar balances of reaction species. The model provided consistent results of interstitial velocity and good prediction of reaction yields, with R2 = 0.926. These findings demonstrate that the studied technique can provide improvements in biocatalytic processes, representing a promising strategy for the enzymatic synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl oleate.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 331:117316.

Abstract
Wood-rotting fungi and their enzymatic systems represent promising biocatalysts for the removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) from wastewater. We designed a fungal wheel reactor (FWR) based on solid-state fermentation (SSF) of Trametes versicolor and a lignocellulosic substrate, which was used as an immobilization carrier for fungal biomass and the sole initial nutrient source for producing fungal oxidative enzymes. Three pharmaceutical and personal care products, acetaminophen, bisphenol A and carbamazepine, were spiked into the synthetic wastewater and the treatment was carried out under non-sterile conditions. Acetaminophen was completely removed from the FWR until laccase was observed. The acetaminophen removal efficiency was retrieved by replacing the fungal wheel with fresh SSF products. Bisphenol A and carbamazepine were removed via enzymatic activity and adsorption. When the fungal wheel was replaced, acetaminophen began to be completely removed, even after laccase depletion. The microbial community analysis indicated that the continuous removal of acetaminophen was mainly due to the high proportion of T. versicolor. The relative abundance of the co-occurring microbial community might be responsible for the divergence in acetaminophen removal between two of fungal wheel-replaced reactors. Overall, FWRs are promising tools for the removal of PPCPs by highly reactive enzymatic mechanisms as well as adsorption on the carrier surface. By replacing SSF and settled microbial communities, FWRs may continuously contribute to bioremediation over a long-term period.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 314:120232. [PMID: 36155222 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Microbial technology is the most sustainable and eco-friendly method of environmental remediation. Immobilised microorganisms were introduced to further advance microbial technology. In immobilisation technology, carrier materials distribute a large number of microorganisms evenly on their surface or inside and protect them from external interference to better treat the targets, thus effectively improving their bioavailability. Although many carrier materials have been developed, there have been relatively few comprehensive reviews. Therefore, this paper summarises the types of carrier materials explored in the last ten years from the perspective of structure, microbial activity, and cost. Among these, carbon materials and biofilms, as environmentally friendly functional materials, have been widely applied for immobilisation because of their abundant sources and favorable growth conditions for microorganisms. The novel covalent organic framework (COF) could also be a new immobilisation material, due to its easy preparation and high performance. Different immobilisation methods were used to determine the relationship between carriers and microorganisms. Co-immobilisation is particularly important because it can compensate for the deficiencies of a single immobilisation method. This paper emphasises that impact conditions also affect the immobilisation effect and function. In addition to temperature and pH, the media conditions during the preparation and reaction of materials also play a role. Additionally, this study mainly reviews the applications and mechanisms of immobilised microorganisms in environmental remediation. Future development of immobilisation technology should focus on the discovery of novel and environmentally friendly carrier materials, as well as the establishment of optimal immobilisation conditions for microorganisms. This review intends to provide references for the development of immobilisation technology in environmental applications and to further the improve understanding of immobilisation technology.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 364:128018. [PMID: 36162783 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.128018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Revised: 09/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
In this work, a novel Fe/Mn/N co-doped biochar (Fe&Mn-NBC800) derived from waste apple tree branches was fabricated for bisphenol A (BPA) removal. Fe&Mn-NBC800 exhibited higher adsorption capacity (84.96 mg·g-1) in 318 K for BPA than the pristine biochar, doped mono-atomic, and di-atomic biochar. Higher temperature and adsorbent dosage promoted BPA removal, while higher solution pH was detrimental to the adsorption process. The kinetic and isothermal processes of BPA removal followed the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir, respectively. Characterizations and correlation analysis indicated that π-π interactions showed the major contribution to the BPA adsorption. Furthermore, the pore filling, electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions also played a role. Good water environment anti-interference ability (ion species, ionic strength, actual water body) and excellent recyclability of Fe&Mn-NBC800 make it exhibit the potential for engineering projects.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most produced synthetic monomers in the world and is widespread in the environment. BPA was replaced by bisphenol analogues (BP) because of its adverse effects on life. Bacteria can degrade BPA and other bisphenol analogues (BP), diminishing their environmental concentrations. This study aimed to summarize the knowledge and contribute to future studies. In this review, we surveyed papers on bacterial degradation of twelve different bisphenol analogues published between 1987 and June 2022. A total of 102 original papers from PubMed and Google Scholar were selected for this review. Most of the studies (94.1%, n = 96) on bacterial degradation of bisphenol analogues focused on BPA, and then on bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol S (BPS). The number of studies on bacterial degradation of bisphenol analogues increased more than six times from 2000 (n = 2) to 2021 (n = 13). Indigenous microorganisms and the genera Sphingomonas, Sphingobium, and Cupriavidus could degrade several BP. However, few studies focussed on Cupriavidus. The acknowledgement of various aspects of BP bacterial biodegradation is vital for choosing the most suitable microorganisms for the bioremediation of a single BP or a mixture of BP.

Abstract
Many refractory organic compounds (ROCs) in wastewater are toxic to human and aquatic organisms. Here, we reported an aerobic starvation approach to improve the degradation efficiencies of ROCs in activated sludge systems. The highest degradation rates of bisphenol AF (BPAF) (11.4 mg/g VSS · h) and gabapentin (GBP) (8.9 mg/g VSS · h) were achieved on the second day of the starvation process. While, the degradation rate of bisphenol A (BPA) on the 43rd day reached the maximum value of 0.8 mg/g VSS ·h, which was significantly higher than that of the seeding sludge (0.01 mg/g VSS · h). To investigate the mechanisms of this finding, we applied magnetic-nanoparticle mediated isolation, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, metagenomic sequencing and metatranscriptomic sequencing to analyze the microbial community structures and functions during the starvation process. The results showed that the increase of the BPA degradation ability was caused by the increase of the relative abundance of BPA degrading bacteria (Sphingomonas, Achromobacter, etc.), while, the enhancement of BPAF and GBP degradation was attributed to the increase of the expression of ROC degrading genes. Overall, these results improve our understanding of the microbial ecology of starved activated sludge and provide useful information for the future development of ROC removal technologies.

Abstract
Activated sludge in wastewater treatment bioreactors contains diverse bacteria, while little is known about the community structure of bacteria responsible for degradation of refractory organic compounds (ROCs). In this study, 10 ROCs frequently detected in sewage were investigated, and the potential bacteria degrading these ROCs were analyzed by DNA stable isotope probing and high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that the bacterial communities responsible for degradation of different ROCs were largely different. A total of 84 bacterial genera were found to be involved in degrading at least one of the 10 ROCs, however, only six genera (Acinetobacter, Bacteroides, Bosea, Brevundimonas, Lactobacillus and Pseudomonas) were common to all 10 ROCs. This suggests that different ROCs may have specific assimilating bacteria in the activated sludge. Our results also showed that these ROC-degrading bacteria are difficult to isolate by conventional methods and that most of them have relatively low relative abundance in municipal wastewater treatment bioreactors. Development of new technologies to increase the abundance and activity of these bacteria may significantly improve the removal efficiency of ROCs from wastewater.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127606.

Abstract
In this study, a novel iron and nitrogen co-doped biochar (Fe/N-biochar) was successfully prepared and employed as an efficient adsorbent for micropollutants. The maximum adsorption capacity of Fe/N-biochar for bisphenol A (BPA) was 54 mg/g, which is significantly better than that of commercial graphene (19 mg/g) and activated carbon (6 mg/g). Additionally, for eight other common micropollutants (e.g., phenol, acetaminophen, and sulfamethoxazole), Fe/N-biochar also exhibited highly enhanced adsorption performance. The results of adsorption kinetics and isotherms studies showed that the adsorption of micropollutants onto Fe/N-biochar is by monolayer coverage. Thermodynamic studies further suggested that the adsorption process is feasible, spontaneous, and chemical in nature. The adsorption mechanism was investigated by correlation analysis between the adsorption capacity and the physiochemical properties of Fe/N-biochar. The results demonstrated that the strengthening of π-π electron donor-acceptor interactions between the organics and the adsorbent caused by the co-doping of iron and nitrogen was the dominant driving force behind the efficient adsorption of micropollutants. Furthermore, graphitic N and Fe-Nx were identified as the major adsorption sites. Simple heat treatment could effectively restore the adsorption capacity of Fe/N-biochar that had reached adsorption equilibrium. In view of its simple preparation method, highly enhanced adsorption capacity, and excellent recyclability, the prepared Fe/N-biochar can be regarded as a promising candidate for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
E. coli@UiO-67 composites were obtained using an effective and simple self-assembly method. The composites showed unique properties as a remarkable and recyclable adsorbent for the efficient removal of bisphenol A (BPA) from water with a high adsorption capacity (402.930 mg g-1). The increase in pore size is a key factor why E. coli@UiO-67 composites maintained high capacity. The reason might be due to that the composites with large pore sizes and defects could effectively improve mass transport and active molecular metal sites. The adsorption of BPA is a chemisorption process due to the Zr-OH groups in UiO-67 exhibit affinity toward BPA molecules, π-π interaction, and electrostatic attraction. The adsorption efficiency remained at 82.5% after 15 cycles without any remarkable changes in the PXRD patterns of E. coli@UiO-67. Moreover, the use of microorganism-loading MOFs could reduce the cost to at least 50% and minimize secondary pollution through nanoscale MOFs usage reduction. The developed composites have advantages, including low-cost, high adsorption capacity, easy to be separated and regenerated from aqueous solution, a large number of cycles, short adsorption equilibrium time, and stability, showing excellent application prospects. The presented strategy would be a potentially promising way to produce novel MOFs-based adsorbents with high-performance to control environmental pollution from wastewater.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 408:124817.

Abstract
This study aims to address organic micropollutants in secondary effluents from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) by first identification of micropollutants in different treatment units, and second by evaluating an advanced treatment process for removals of micropollutants. In secondary effluents, 28 types of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), 5 types of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and 3 types of odorous compounds are detected with total concentrations of 513 ± 57.8 ng/L, 991 ± 36.5 ng/L, 553 ± 48.3 ng/L, respectively. An integrated process consisting of in-situ ozonation, ceramic membrane filtration (CMF) and biological active carbon (BAC) filtration is investigated in a pilot scale (1000 m3/d) for removal of micropollutants in secondary effluents. The total removal efficiencies of PPCPs, EDCs and odorous compounds are 98.5%, 95.4%, and 91.1%, respectively. Removal mechanisms of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) and odorous compounds are discussed based on their physicochemical properties. The remarkable removal efficiencies of micropollutants by the pilot system is attributed to synergistic effects of combining ozonation, ceramic membrane filtration and BAC filtration. This study provides a cost-effective and robust technology with the capability of treating secondary effluents for reuse applications.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 762:143115.

Abstract
Producing a desirable adsorbent for removing endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) from aqueous solutions remains a major challenge. In this work, microporous-dominated nitrogen-doped framework carbons (MNFCs, s means the calcination temperature) with high specific surface area, ultra-microporous structure, and high nitrogen-doping can be obtained by a direct calcination of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid tetrasodium (EDTA-4Na) without aid of any catalyst and nitrogen source. MNFCs were applied adsorbents to remove bisphenols from aqueous solution. Batch experiments showed MNFC-750 had a large adsorption capacity for bisphenols from aqueous solutions (409 mg/g for bisphenol A, 364 mg/g for bisphenol F, and 521 mg/g for bisphenol S) along with short equilibrium time (30 min), and good stability and reusability. Using multiple characterizations and comparative experiments along with theoretical calculations, we discovered that: (1) nitrogen-doping can significantly boost the adsorption capacity; (2) adsorption sites are mainly the pyridinic-N instead of pyrrolic-N and graphitic-N; and (3) the adsorption mechanisms were mainly driven by Lewis acid-base interaction, hydrophobic interaction, π-π interaction and hydrogen bond interaction. These findings indicate that MNFCs present a promising potential for practical applications and shed light on the rational design of nitrogen doped carbon-based adsorbents for efficient pollutant removal.

Abstract
Understanding the significance of plant-endophytic bacteria for bisphenol A (BPA) removal is of importance for any application of organic pollutant phytoremediation. In this research, Dracaena sanderiana with endophytic Pantoea dispersa showed higher BPA removal than uninoculated plants at 89.54 ± 0.88% and 79.08 ± 1.20%, respectively. Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qPCR) showed that P. dispersa increased from 3.93 × 107 to 8.80 × 107 16S rRNA gene copy number in root tissues from day 0 to day 5 which indicated that it could assist the plant in removing BPA during the treatment period. pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS), conductivity, and salinity were reduced after 5 days of the experimental period. Particularly, BOD significantly decreased due to activities of the plants and microorganisms. Furthermore, an indigenous bacterial strain, Bacillus cereus NI, from the wastewater could remove BPA in high TDS and alkalinity condition of the wastewater. This work suggests that D. sanderiana plants could be used as a tertiary process in a wastewater treatment system and should be combined with its endophytic bacteria. In addition, B. cereus NI could also be applied for BPA removal from wastewaters with high TDS and salinity.

Abstract
This study investigated the adsorption of two endocrine-disrupting chemicals, bisphenol A (BPA) and S (BPS), from water using activated carbon clothes (ACCs), as-received and oxidized, in the absence and presence of bacteria, analyzing both kinetic and equilibrium adsorption data. Kinetic study of the different systems showed that the adsorption rate was affected both by the oxidation of the adsorbent and by the presence of bacteria. Bisphenol adsorption kinetics followed a second-order kinetic model, with rate constants between 0.0228 and 0.0013 g min-1 mol-1. ACC was a much better adsorbent of E. coli compared to granular activated carbons, achieving 100% adsorption at 24 h. ACC oxidation reduced the adsorption capacity and the adsorbent-adsorbate relative affinity due to the decrease in carbon surface hydrophobicity. Conversely, the presence of bacteria in aqueous solution increased the ACC surface hydrophobicity and therefore enhanced the adsorption capacity of BPA and BPS on ACC, which was 33% and 24%, respectively. In all cases, more BPS than BPA was removed due to the greater dipolar moment of the former. Results found show that activated carbon clothes in the presence of bacteria can be an adequate process to remove bisphenol A and S from different aqueous systems.

Abstract
The endocrine-disrupting chemical bisphenol A (BPA) has attracted much attention because of its estrogenic activity and widespread environmental contamination. In this study, we investigated the BPA biodegradation abilities of various bacterial strains isolated from deserts and arid soils from southern Tunisia. Ten bacterial strains that belong to Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella sp. and Pantoea sp. showed high BPA removal potential in mineral salt medium (MSM) containing 1 mM BPA. BPA removal rates varied between strains and ranged from 36 to 97%. The strain G320 (P. putida) presented the highest BPA removal rate with 97% within 4 days at 30 °C. The half-life when increasing the BPA concentration to 3 mM was 2 days for strain G320, while total degradation was achieved within 8 days. BPA biodegradation products were identified by GC-MS, and their toxicity was assessed by an algal toxicity test. BPA detoxification was confirmed by evaluating the effect of its biodegradation metabolites on algal growth (dry weight), cells morphology and chlorophylls levels of Tetraselmis sp. strain V2. Results showed the interesting potential of desert soil's bacteria in BPA detoxification as well as the eventual use of the algal specie in toxicity assessment.

Abstract
Bisphenol S is one of the alternative substitutes of Bisphenol A, a chemical widely recognized as an endocrine disrupting compound. In the past few years, a variety of studies on degradation of BPA demonstrated that microorganisms play important roles in the degradation process. However, the fate of BPS during wastewater treatment processes and the composition of microorganisms that functionalize BPS degradation remain to be explored. In this study, three bioreactors, R-BPS (amended with Bisphenol S), R-BPSHA (amended with Bisphenol S and humic acid) and Con (control bioreactor), were set up to investigate the fate of BPS and the microbial compositions and dynamics in the bioreactors, especially for the microorganisms associated with BPS removal. Results showed that a complete removal was achieved within 24 days. The addition of humic acid accelerated the elimination of BPS in both effluent and sludge. The results of 16S rRNA gene ampilicon sequencing revealed that the most abundant bacteria in all samples were affiliated to Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Acidobacteria and Chloroflexi. Seven major genera were likely associated with BPS removal, including Pseudomonas, Azospira, Hydrogenophaga, Devosia, Delftia, Acidovorax and Rhodobacter. Among them, humic acid increased relative abundance of some bacteria, such as Pseudomonas, Hydrogenophaga and Acidovorax. These findings would give valuable information on the microbial community composition associated with BPS removal, providing biological background for bioremediation of BPS-contaminated environment.

Abstract
Hierarchically porous materials with multiple pore structures have the potential application in catalysis, separation or bioengineering. A concept was introduced to design and fabricate hierarchically porous hybrid materials (HPHMs) simultaneously containing mesopores and macropores. The proof-of-concept design was demonstrated by fabrication of several kinds of hybrid materials by adding degradable polycaprolactone (PCL) additive, which was simple and easy-operating. The specific surface areas of HPHMs prepared with polyhedral oligomeric vinylsilsesquioxanes (vinylPOSS) and 1,4-dithiothreitol (DTT) could reach 727 m2/g by adding 25% PCL additive, while the HPHMs were imperforate prior to degradation of PCL. The characterization further indicated that the macropores could be controlled by the amount of PCL additive. Moreover, the porous properties of HPHMs were influenced by the molecular weight of PCL. Other dithiols compounds were also successful in preparing HPHMs with high specific surface areas over 400 m2/g. Due to hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond interaction, the HPHM exhibited good adsorption ability for bisphenol A (BPA) in aqueous solution. Adsorption equilibrium could be achieved within 30 min, and the adsorption capacity was up to 157.4 mg/g. Meanwhile, the removal efficiency was found to be 95.37% for BPA.

Abstract
In this report, Pseudomonas putida SJTE1 isolated from an enrichment culture of sludge was confirmed to degrade natural estrogens (17β-estradiol, estrone, estriol), estrogenic chemicals (naphthalene and phenanthrene) and testosterone. The strain completely degraded 1 mg/L 17β-estradiol in 24 h and transformed it into estrone; 90% and 75% of 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L 17β-estradiol were utilized in 7 days, respectively. The transformation efficiency of this strain against natural estrogens was much higher than that against other estrogenic chemicals. Organic carbon sources, lipopolysaccharide and surfactants could enhance the degradation efficiency of strain SJTE-1 against 17β-estradiol. The adsorption of 17β-estradiol onto the biomass was the premise for transmembrane and cellular utilization of this chemical. This work has the potential to bioremediate the environmental estrogens.

Abstract
In this research, a novel efficiency MnO2@Nano hollow carbon sphere (MnO2@NHCS) nanocomposite was prepared by one-pot hydrothermal reaction with KMnO4 solution. The adsorption and oxidization performance of MnO2@NHCS were assessed by degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) at different conditions. The effect of dosage of MnO2@NHCS, pH, initial concentration of BPA, temperature and humic acid were investigated systematically. Moreover, the characterizations of MnO2@NHCS were measured by a series of techniques, such as XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, TGA and XPS. Notably, hollow structure of nano carbon sphere was still retained with uniform MnO2 nanosheets covered. The results show that the removal rate of BPA was 95.3% within 10 min and BPA can be almost decomposed in 30 min under the optimal conditions. Additionally, the MnO2@NHCS remained stable and had a high regeneration efficiency (more than 85%) after 3 cycles (360 min). The reaction intermediates/products of oxidation of BPA were analyzed and the possible degradation pathways of BPA were proposed. These research results demonstrate that the MnO2@NHCS is a fleet and efficient material for BPA degradation in aqueous environment.

Abstract
There are eight bisphenol analogues being identified and characterized; among them, bisphenol A (BPA) is on the priority list on the basis of its higher level of uses, occurrence, and toxicity. The endocrine system interfered by BPA has been inventoried as it has the same function as the natural hormone 17β-estradiol and binds mainly to the estrogen receptor (ER) to exhibit estrogenic activities. The BPA concentration in surface waters (14-1390 ng/L) in many parts of the world, such as Japan, Korea, China, and India, was also a significant concern. Research efforts are focusing on restricting BPA consumption as well as removing BPA in our environment especially in drinking water. Current opinion is that lignocellulosic activated carbon stimulated with BPA-degrading bacteria could have the potential to provide solution for recent challenges faced by water utilities arising from BPA contamination in water. This technology has some new trends in the low-cost biofiltration process for removing BPA. This review is to provide in-depth discussion on the fate of BPA in our ecosystem and underlines methods to enhance the efficacy of activated carbon in the presence of BPA-degrading bacteria in the biofiltration process.

In this work, nitrogen-rich graphene-like carbon sheets (N-GLCS) with high specific surface area (488.4m2/g), narrow pore distribution and high N-doping (18.4 at%) were prepared and applied as both adsorbent and catalyst for the removal of bisphenols. Adsorption experiments demonstrated the high adsorption capacities of the N-GLCS toward bisphenol F (BPF) (222.9mg/g), bisphenol A (BPA) (317.8mg/g), and bisphenol C (BPC) (540.4mg/g). Results showed that about 98.6% of BPA (70mg/L) was removed at pH 7.0 within 80min after the adsorption-catalytic degradation process. The N-GLCS also showed a superb reusability for the catalytic oxidative degradation of BPA (70mg/L) with the removal percentage maintains over 83% after 5 cycles. With the synergistic combination of the excellent adsorption and catalytic properties of the N-GLCS, trace amount of pollutants can be preconcentrated and immobilized at the surface of N-GLCs, at the same time, active radicals were also produced at the surface of the N-GLCS by the activation of peroxydisulfate (PS), and finally the pollutants can be degraded in-situ by the active radicals. These findings provide a new avenue towards the efficient removal of trace-level EDCs from water solution by using the coupled adsorption-advanced oxidation processes.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are an important class of emerging contaminants that have been detected (and are still being detected) in aquatic environments such as surface waters, groundwater, wastewater, runoff, and landfill leachates. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a known endocrine disruptor that is acutely toxic to the living organisms. BPA has been widely used in the manufacture of sunscreen lotions, nail polish, body wash/lotions, bar soaps, shampoo, conditioners, shaving creams, and face lotions/cleanser, besides its other industrial applications. In the present review, an overview of the recent research studies dealing with the BPA removal from water by adsorption method is presented. We have reviewed various conventional and non-conventional adsorbents which have been used for BPA removal from water. It is evident from the literature reviewed that modified adsorbents and composite materials have shown promising results for BPA removal from water. Literature has been extensively discussed in terms of adsorption capacities, fitted isotherm and kinetic models and thermodynamic aspects.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (2,2-bis[4-hydroxyphenyl]propane, BPA), the monomer used to produce polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, is weakly estrogenic and therefore of environmental and human health interest. Due to the high production volumes and disposal of products made from BPA, polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, BPA has entered terrestrial and aquatic environments. In the presence of oxygen, diverse taxa of bacteria, fungi, algae and even higher plants metabolize BPA, but anaerobic microbial degradation has not been documented. Recent reports demonstrated that abiotic processes mediate BPA transformation and mineralization in the absence of oxygen, indicating that BPA is susceptible to degradation under anoxic conditions. This review summarizes biological and nonbiological processes that lead to BPA transformation and degradation, and identifies research needs to advance predictive understanding of the longevity of BPA and its transformation products in environmental systems.
