Resumo(s)
Estrogens are a type of hormones that are continuously released to environment presenting several undesirable effects on aquatic species and human health even when present at very low concentrations. With the present work we will present an extensive set of experimental results that presents the valorization of olive stones residues to prepare activated carbons to be used as adsorbent for the removal of estrogens by adsorption from water. Five different adsorbents were produced and characterized. The carbonization yield, the pH at point of zero charge, BET surface area of the carbonaceous materials were measured. Additionally, FTIR analysis was also performed. The simultaneous removal of the three estrogens from water was evaluated for all five prepared adsorbents. For the adsorbent with the best removal performance, a kinetic study was carried out. The obtained results show that olive stones exhibit potential for the production of activated carbons with high surface area used to remove estrogens from water.
