  abstract = {{T}he objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of sulphate radical based homogeneous advanced oxidation technologies ({SR}-{AOT}s) involving peroxymonosulphate ({PMS}) as an oxidant and ferrous iron ({F}e({II})) as a catalyst, for the removal of 17 beta-estradiol ({E}2) from wastewater effluents collected downstream of a biological {WWTP} in {P}erpignan ({F}rance). {T}his molecule is used as a surrogate for endocrine disrupting compounds ({EDC}s) due to its high biological activity at very low concentration levels (ng/{L}). {F}or this purpose, two different laboratory-scale devices have been employed, one for indoor experiments working with controlled and artificial {UV} light centered on lambda = 365 nm emission, and the other at a larger scale for outdoor experiments using direct solar irradiation. {C}omparison of kinetic studies with those obtained with commonly used hydroxyl radical based advanced oxidation technologies ({HR}-{AOT}s), i.e., {UV}-{V}is/{H}2{O}2/{F}e({II}) and {UV}/{T}i{O}2 revealed the higher efficiency of the former over the latter ones. {E}strogenicity measurement through bioassays confirmed the complete removal of 17 beta-estradiol after only a few minutes treatment. {D}etermination of {E}2 transformation pathways upon sulphate radical reactivity through intermediates identification by mass spectrometry revealed that the oxidation of phenol moiety into quinone might be the main step responsible for the decrease in estrogenicity. {UV}-{V}is/{PMS}/{F}e({II}) system appears to be the most suitable method for the treatment of aqueous solutions containing {E}2.},
