Endocrine disrupting compounds and their chlorination by-products are two classes of emerging contaminants. Surface water and wastewater treatment technologies have limitations in removing these contaminants. This study evaluated the ability of non-imprinted polymer particles (NIP) to remove the endocrine disruptor 17β-estradiol (E2) and its chlorination by-products from water and wastewater. NIP effectively removed 98% of 10 mg/L E2 from wastewater. NIP were also effective in removing chlorination by-products of E2 by 84.9% after 10 mg/L E2 in water was chlorinated at 5 mg/L. In the presence of 5 mg/L humic acid, NIP were able to achieve removal of 10 mg/L E2 by greater than 99.9%. Furthermore, after chlorination of 10 mg/L E2 and 5 mg/L humic acid at 10 mg/L chlorine, NIP were also able to remove the chlorination by-products formed as well as the remaining E2 by greater than 99.9%. The presence of 5 mg/L humic acid did not adversely affect the adsorption efficiency. The results of this research indicate that NIPs have good potential as a final treatment step for surface water and wastewater treatment.

In this study, a new composite flocculent was prepared from polyferric chloride (PFC) and polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PDMDAAC). The Fe( ) species and zeta potential of the composite flocculent (PFC-PDMDAAC) and PFC were measured by a timed complexation spectroscopy method and the malvern Zetasizer 3000, respectively. The flocculation efficiency of PFC-PDMDAAC for treating actual surface water or wastewater samples was compared with that of PFC. The results showed that when PDMDAAC fraction (Wp) is 7.0%, PFC-PDMDAAC contains the smallest content of Fec and has the highest zeta potential. PFC-PDMDAAC is more effective than PFC and PDMDAAC in water and wastewater treatment. Therefore, the use of PFC-PDMDAAC is both technically and economically feasible in water and wastewater treatment.
