Estrogen nitration kinetics and implications for wastewater treatment

Understanding estrogen-removal mechanisms in wastewater treatment is imperative, as estrogens have environmental effects at trace concentrations. Previous research investigating co-metabolic degradation of 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) revealed that, in batch tes...

520 |a Understanding estrogen-removal mechanisms in wastewater treatment is imperative, as estrogens have environmental effects at trace concentrations. Previous research investigating co-metabolic degradation of 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) revealed that, in batch tests where high nitrite-nitrogen (NO2-N) concentrations occurred as a result of ammonia-nitrogen (NH4-N) oxidation by AOB, an abiotic estrogen nitration reaction actually was occurring--not co-metabolic degradation. This paper addresses nitration kinetics. A first-order abiotic nitration model was developed that predicts nitration of EE2, 17beta-estradiol (E2), and estrone (El) as a function of temperature, pH, estrogen (EE2, E2, and E1), and NO2-N concentration. A contact time of 3.6 to 4.1 days is required for 90% estrogen nitration at 500 mg/L NO2-N and pH 6.4. At 20 degrees C and pH 6.4, the threshold NO2-N concentration for nitration to occur is 9 mg/L; therefore, estrogen nitration is not likely in activated sludge treatment of domestic wastewater, but has potential for high-NH4-N-strength wastewaters
