Methods of Removal of Hormones in Wastewater

Hormones are a type of emerging contaminant that reach the aquatic environment through wastewater effluents and which treatment plants (WWTP) cannot eliminate. The objective this article was to determine best hormone abatement technique between algae microalgae, rotating biological discs, organic adsorbents, activated carbon. For this, critical review behavior methods conducted in existing bibliographical scientific databases over last eight years. Then, Modified Saaty method applied, establishing relationship removal efficiency, time, maintenance costs, stage development, environmental impact each studied by panel experts, who weighted chosen variables on scale 1–9 according variable’s importance. results indicated abate hormones is one uses adsorbents reached final comparative value 0.58/1, indicates suitability combine five comparison variables. At same disc 0.17/1, indicating its deficiency balance analyzed
