Abstract
⺠Estrogen removal was optimized in fed-batch bioreactors by evaluating the effect of the main process parameters. ⺠An enzyme membrane bioreactor (EMR) was proposed for the continuous degradation of estrogens. ⺠Estrone was degraded up to 95% and estradiol was not detected in the effluent of the EMR under steady state conditions. ⺠The residual estrogenic activity of the effluent was largely reduced up to 97%.
