Removal of 17 alpha-methyltestosterone in synthetic wastewater with UVC and Salvinia based reactor
Abstract:
17α-methyl testosterone (MT) is one of the synthetic hormones in endocrine-disrupting
chemicals (EDCs). MT is normally used to induce sex reversal in Tilapia to accomplish allmale
population. The residual hormones in masculinization, MT-impregnated food are
introduced into the aquatic environment when discharging wastewater. Reported effects include
intersexuality, reduced fertility, or increase in breast and testicular cancer prevalence in
human beings. This work presents removal of MT in synthetic wastewater with UVC and
Salvinia based reactors. In the experiment, the initial concentration of MT was 5, 10 and 20
mg/L, and three reactors were employedUVC reactor (A), Salvinia reactor (B), and UVC
Salvinia reactor (C). HPLC-UV was used to determine the quantities of MT in the water samples.
Detection limit of MT concentration was 0.01 mg/L. It was found that the initial concentration
of MT had to do with removal efficiencies of A, B and C. Increasing the concentration
caused the removal efficiencies to be decreased on A and B. In contrast, the removal
efficiencies were increased on C. The highest efficiency of removal was observed in A. Kinetic
of the degradation followed the first order reaction with the degradation rate constants of
0.0120, 0.0044 and 0.0017 min-1 at 5, 10 and 20 mg/L, respectively (R2 = 0.98). Furthermore,
the results indicated that this plant was very active in 5-day duration.
