Figure 3

Conversion of E2 as a function of mean residence time for three influent concentrations. Reaction conditions: 8 g dry media, 18.0 U/g nominal activity, at 21°C and pH 5 with initial estrogen concentrations, , of (□) 5  M, (∆) 10  M, and (○) 20  M. All points represent the mean of three samples taken at 5-minute intervals during the same experiment with error bars representing one standard deviation from the mean (not visible due to their small size).
