A method and system treating aqueous effluent from an aqueous stream from at least one of a manufacturing facility, compounding facility or municipal water treatment facility. Reductive and/or oxidative chemical species in an aqueous fluid stream decompose natural hormonal or synthetic hormonal contaminants. The method includes:

Method of treatment of water effluent with multilayer filter under electric current

A method and system generate reductive and/or oxidative chemical species in an aqueous fluid stream to disinfect and/or remove contamination. A filter is provided having a filter element of at least two porous carbon support layers and a silicate wool or glass wool layer in direct contact with and between the at least two porous carbon support layers. Electric current is passed through the filter element. A fluid stream containing elemental halogens and/or halide salts is passed through the filter element, distributing halogens or halides within the filter element. contaminants from the fluid mass onto the filter element, thereby disinfecting or removing the contaminants. Oxidizing contaminants from the fluid mass are adsorbed onto the filter element, thereby disinfecting or removing the contaminants.

Method of treating contamination in a fluid stream with an electric current

Contaminants are filtered from a fluid flow stream and the filter is regenerated by a process including steps of: providing a filter material comprising both carbon and potassium iodide; passing a contaminated fluid stream in contact with the filter material; adsorbing contaminants from the fluid stream onto surfaces in the filter material; passing an electric current through the filter material with adsorbed contaminant thereon; disassociating contaminant from the surfaces of the filter material; and removing disassociated contaminant from the filter material by carrying away the disassociated contaminant in a fluid flow mass.
