چکیده مقاله

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an emerging contaminant widely detected in aquatic environments due to its extensive industrial applications and continuous release from BPA-containing products. The presence of BPA in water and wastewater has raised environmental concerns because of its endocrine-disrupting effects and the limitations of conventional treatment processes for complete removal. Therefore, advanced remediation technologies have received increasing attention for improving BPA removal and degradation efficiency. This review provides an overview of emerging technologies for BPA remediation in water and wastewater treatment, including adsorption, membrane-based processes, advanced oxidation processes, photocatalytic degradation, electrochemical oxidation, and biological treatment. The fundamental principles, treatment mechanisms, advantages, and limitations of these approaches are discussed. Adsorption and membrane technologies provide effective separation and removal of BPA, while oxidation-based processes promote deeper degradation through the generation of highly reactive species. Photocatalytic and electrochemical approaches have demonstrated promising potential for BPA transformation and mineralization, whereas biological and enzymatic methods offer environmentally sustainable treatment alternatives. Despite their advantages, each technology presents specific limitations related to energy consumption, operational complexity, regeneration requirements, and practical application. Understanding the characteristics of different remediation approaches is essential for selecting suitable treatment strategies for BPA-contaminated water systems.
