The elimination of EDCs and PPCPs in reuse waters using O<sub>3</sub>, UV/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, TiO<sub>2</sub>
photocatalysis, peracetic acid (PAA), PAA/UV and microfiltration is evaluated. In field-scale
experiments, contaminants are monitored at pilot treatment facilities that employ
different treatment processes. In expanded bench-scale tests, contaminants are being
spiked into reuse waters to allow for direct assessment of the effectiveness of each
technology and observe elimination kinetics that may be unique to the waters evaluated.
Field results reveal destruction of 90% or greater of many natural estrogens after
ozonation or treatment with UV/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> but more persistent chemicals were not eliminated.
This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of particular technologies and possible
dependence on varying water qualities. Includes 8 references, tables, figures.
