Abstract: The study showed that when exposed to high-pressure Hg-lamp (HPML,λmax≥365 nm),and the concentration of Chlorella vulgaris was 4.0×1010 cells·L-1,the photodegradation rate of 17β-estradiol could reach to 37%.When the concentration of Chlorella vulgaris was 4.2×1010 cells·L-1,the photodegradation of 1.5×10-5~6.0×10-5 mol·L-117β-estradiol in aqueous solutions was pseudo-first order reaction.Increasing the initial concentration of 17β-estradiol could lower its photodegradation rate.The influence of light intension and Chlorella vulgaris concentration on the photodegradation of 17β-estradiol was also studied in this paper.

Key words: Photodegradation, Chlorella vulgaris, 17β-estradiol
