Description

Water contamination by Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), such as progesterone, is a significant environmental concern. This study uniquely investigates the efficacy of synthesized molybdenum disulfide (S-MoS_2) compared to commercial molybdenum disulfide (C-MoS_2) for progesterone removal from water. Batch experiments evaluated the removal efficiency of both types under various dosages and pH conditions. Preliminary results indicate that S-MoS_2 achieves 12.8% higher removal efficiency than C-MoS_2. This results of the enhanced properties of S-MoS_2 attributed to its synthesis. Dosage experiments showed a 10.7% improvement at an optimal dosage of 20 mg/L (87.8% vs. 79.3%). Additionally, pH variation experiments revealed the highest removal efficiency at pH 7, with a 14.8% improvement (89.3% vs. 77.8%). These findings highlight the superior performance of S-MoS_2, demonstrating its potential for effective progesterone removal in water treatment applications. This research is the first of its kind to compare synthesized and commercial MoS_2 for this purpose, marking a significant advancement in the field of water treatment.
