Estrone (E1), an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) with health and environmental consequences, is commonly found in wastewater worldwide; thus, effective ways to degrade this EDC are welcome. For the first time, a one-compartment filter-press reactor with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode is used...
