Abstract：As a kind of typical EDCs, bisphenol A (BPA) has biological toxicity and estrogen effect. Researches show that BPA can interfere with the develpoment of human's embryo, reproductive system and nervous system. BPA has a significant harm to human health and environment. Therefore, BPA, which has been detected in treated drinking water, surface waters and tissues of animals all over the world, has become a hot pot in water treatment field. Previous removal methods have some shortcomings, such as adsorbent is difficult to retrieve and degradation efficiency is not good enough. In order to overcome these problems, some new methods are proposed. Most of them combine the new technologies and traditional methods to achieve the purpose of cooperation. Results show these methods have higher removal efficiency and overcome some shortcomings of the traditional methods. Although there are still some problems, these new methods propose a new direction for the future.
