An integrated approach to remove endocrine-disrupting chemicals bisphenol and its analogues from the aqueous environment: a review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines advanced treatment methods for removing bisphenol A and its substitutes (BPF, BPS, BPAF) from water environments. Researchers found that adsorption combined with photocatalytic degradation offers the most promising approach due to high oxidation capability and low cost compared to other individual treatment options.
Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA) is a well-known endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) used as a plastic enhancer in producing polycarbonate resins to manufacture hard plastics. Due to strict limitations on the manufacturing and utilization of BPA, several bisphenol substitutes, bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol S (BPS), and bisphenol AF (BPAF), have been developed to replace it in various applications. Because of their widespread use in food containers, infant bottles, and reusable water bottles, bisphenols (BPs) have been identified in different environmental circumstances, including drinking water, seawater, industrial effluent, and endocrine systems such as human blood, urine, and breast milk. However, locating and analyzing them in different conditions has proven to be challenging. Therefore, there is a need to reduce the prevalence of BPs in the environment. The significance of advanced treatment options for treating and eliminating BPA and its alternatives from water bodies are reviewed. Also, the research gaps and future scopes are discussed in this review article. According to the literature survey, adsorption and photocatalytic degradation provide synergistic benefits for environmental challenges because of their substantial adsorption Q5 capacity, high oxidation capability, and low cost compared to alternative individual treatment options.

AI summary Read the abstract
This review evaluates treatment technologies for removing microplastics and their chemical additives, such as bisphenol A and nonylphenol, from water. Researchers found that while membrane filtration and advanced oxidation show promise, most technologies face challenges with efficiency, cost, and sustainability at scale. The authors recommend hybrid approaches that combine multiple treatment methods and call for standardized testing to compare how well different systems work.
Insights into removal mechanisms of bisphenol A and its analogues in municipal wastewater treatment plants
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers critically reviewed how bisphenol A (BPA) and related compounds are removed in municipal wastewater treatment plants, finding that sludge adsorption plays a key role but that newly produced BPA from degrading microplastics in wastewater complicates removal and may explain why real-world performance deviates from theoretical predictions.
Fast, efficient and clean adsorption of bisphenol-A using renewable mesoporous silica nanoparticles from sugarcane waste ash
AI summary Read the abstract
Sugarcane-derived silica nanoparticles were used to efficiently remove bisphenol A (BPA) from water at a wide range of pH levels. BPA is a plastic additive and endocrine disruptor that leaches from plastics, so low-cost removal methods are important for protecting drinking water supplies.
