Estrogen removal through adsorption on carbon materials prepared from biomass wastes: A review. In XII ENCMP – XII Encontro da Divisão de Catálise e Materiais Porosos. Coimbrahttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/36193Compounds with an ever-growing presence in the biosphere and water. Related to inadequate waste disposal. Emerging pollutant that causes harmful effects in concentrations in the order of μg/L and ng/L. Examples: hormones pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, etc… Class of micropollutants that deregulate the endocrine system in humans and animals . Not easily removed by wastewater and sewage treatment facilities. To solve the issue of estrogen contamination, several separation methods have been proposed. Adsorption has been studied as a viable and practical alternative with a variety of highly efficient adsorbents, such as resins, silica, clays, zeolites, graphene oxides, chitosan, multi-walled carbon nanotubes and activated carbons.engEstrogenBiomassconference poster
