ABSTRACT Radio-ligand assay techniques suitable for measurement of unconjugated estrone and 17β-estradiol concentrations in plasma from normal and pregnant individuals are described. The specific estrogen binding protein of rabbit uterus is employed as specific reagent and activated charcoal is used as non-specific adsorbant to separate bound from free radioactive estrogen. Steroids of interest are separated by column chromatography on celite. By these techniques, large numbers of samples can be assayed with speed and precision for both estrone and 17β-estradiol.

A low-cost composite of activated charcoal supported titanate nanotubes (TNTs@AC) was developed via the facile hydrothermal method to remove the 17β-estradiol (E2, a model of pharmaceutical and personal care products) in water matrix by initial adsorption and subsequent photo-degradation. Characterizations indicated that the modification occurred, i.e., the titanate nanotubes would be grafted onto the activated charcoal (AC) surface, and the micro-carbon could modify the tubular structure of TNTs. E2 was rapidly adsorbed onto TNTs@AC, and the uptake reached 1.87 mg/g from the dual-mode model fitting. Subsequently, the adsorbed E2 could be degraded 99.8% within 2 h under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. TNTs@AC was attributed with a unique hybrid structure, providing the hydrophobic effect, π−π interaction, and capillary condensation for E2 adsorption, and facilitating the electron transfer and then enhancing photocatalytic ability for E2-degradation. In addition, the removal mechanism of E2 was elucidated through the density functional theory calculation. Our study is expected to provide a promising material for environmental application.
