| Abstract: |
Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) have been considered emerging pollutants and have been found in various water sources around the world. Two of the main issues in removing EDCs from water sources are the size and the functionality (functional groups, charge, etc.) of the EDCs, which makes them harder to remove with loose membrane processes and low oxidation potential oxidants. Specialized ultrafiltration (UF) and tight nanofiltrations (NF) could offer a more economical and less energy dependent solution to EDCCs removals from water sources. In this chapter we have looked at the current developments in UF and NF membranes and how they could be used to remove EDCs. |
