Abstract:
Based on the good performance of COD and nutrients, the estrogens (E1, E2 and EE2) were detected to investigate the estrogens removal capability of the A2O process. The removal efficiency of E1, E2 and EE2 reached 92.7%, 100% and 62.7%, respectively. In further, the estrogen mass balance analysis revealed that estrogens were mainly removed in the anaerobic zone and the aerobic zone, which indicated that the adsorption and degradation were the main mechanisms. The roles of adsorption and degradation in estrogen removal were studied by aerobic batch test taking the inactivated sludge as the controlled group. The results showed that EE2 was mainly removed by the activated sludge adsorption, while E1 and E2 were mainly removed through biodegradation.
