An adsorption-enhanced soil aquifer treatment (SAT) system was designed to reduce the level of estrogens below the threshold stipulated by the standards. The 17β-E2 adsorption by graphene and MARs (H103) was investigated and an optimum amount of graphene and MARs in the mixture was determined using the linear programming. The kinetics and isotherm characteristics of both adsorbents were well described by the Lagergren pseudo-second order and the Freundlich model, respectively. The 17β-E2 adsorption on graphene and H103 was 88% and 70.37%, and the high temperature was beneficial to the 17β-E2 adsorption on graphene while the thermodynamic behaviors of H103 were in direct contrast to that of graphene. The study found that the maximum economic benefits could be achieved when the mass of graphene and H103 in the mixture is 2.79 g and 13.20 kg, respectively.
