Natural estrogens such as estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), and the synthetic one, 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), are excreted by humans and animals and enter into environment through discharge of domestic sewage effluents and disposal of animal waste. The occurrence of these substances in aquatic ecosystems may affect the endocrine system of humans and wildlife so it has emerged as a major concern for water quality. Extensive research has being carried out during the last decades on the efficiency of the degradation and/or removal of these hormones in sewage treatment plants (STPs). Conventional and advanced treatments have been investigated by different authors for the elimination of estrogens from water. This paper aims to review the different processes and treatments that have been applied for the elimination of E1, E2, E3 and EE2 from water. With this purpose, physical, biological and advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have been addressed.
天然雌激素，如雌酮（E1）、17β-雌二醇（E2）、雌三醇（E3）和合成的 17α-乙炔基雌二醇（EE2），由人类和动物排泄，并通过家庭污水排放和动物废物处理进入环境。这些物质在水生生态系统中的出现可能会影响人类和野生动物的内分泌系统，因此已成为水质的主要关注点。在过去几十年中，人们对污水处理厂（STP）中这些激素的降解和/或去除效率进行了广泛的研究。不同的作者已经研究了常规和先进的处理方法，以去除水中的雌激素。本文旨在综述已应用于从水中去除 E1、E2、E3 和 EE2 的不同工艺和处理方法。为此，已经涉及到物理、生物和高级氧化工艺（AOP）。
