The purposes of this study are to develop a refined model for simulation of ozonation of estrogenic chemicals under different conditions and to investigate the behaviors of estrogenic by-products using the model. In the cases of ozonation of 17-estradiol (E2), bispehnol-A (BPA) and nonylphenol (NP) in aqueous solution, it can be concluded that the liquid film resistances are larger than bulk resistances, and thus most of reaction occurs in liquid bulk. E2, BPA and NP are easily decomposed with producing by-products by ozonation, but the estrogenicity of those chemicals and the by-products reduced with more ozonation time. Through this research, ozonation was shown to be promised method to decompose E2, BPA and NP and reduce the estrogenicity of those chemicals. |
