Recovery of 17β-Estradiol Using 3D Printed Polyamide-12 Scavengers.

ABSTRACT: Over the past decades, endocrine-disrupting compounds have been under active studies due to their potential environmental impact and increased usage. The actual hormones, especially estrogens, have shown to be one of the major contributors to hormonal waste in wastewater. Wastewater treatment facilities have variable capabilities to handle hormonal compounds and, therefore, different quantities of harmful compounds may end up in the environment. We introduce a simple technique to remove estrogens, such as 17β-estradiol (E2) from wastewater by using 3D printed polyamide-12 (PA12) filters. A selective laser sintering 3D printing was used to manufacture porous PA12 filters with accessible functional groups. Adsorption and desorption properties were studied using gas chromatography with flame
