• Beschreibung: 5,5'-(1-Methylethylidene)-bis-[1,1'-(bisphenyl)-2-ol] (BPE) is an organic compound that is used in coatings. BPE has a high thermal expansion coefficient and can be used as a plasticizer to make polymers more flexible. BPE hydrolyzes under acidic conditions to produce mercaptoacetic acid, which is corrosive and toxic. It also reacts with proteins, like albumin, at pH 7.4. In wastewater treatment systems, BPE can react with chlorine at a rate of 3% per day to form chlorobenzene, which is known to cause cancer in humans. The use of BPE in the bioreactor process leads to the release of reactive functional groups that are not easily degraded by microbes. In addition, it has been shown that this chemical binds to nuclear hormone receptors and has estrogenic effects on animals.
