Abstract	AbstractThis study investigated the rejection and adsorption behaviour of two phytoestrogens, genistein and formononetin, by a NF270 nanofiltration (NF) membrane and an ESPA2 reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Filtration experiments were conducted using a cross-flow membrane system at three different feed solution pH values of 4, 7 and 11. Mass balance calculations indicated that adsorption of both phytoestrogens to the membranes occurred under all pH conditions. The rejection efficiency of the phytoestrogens by the ESPA2 membrane was considerably higher than for the NF270 membrane under all conditions. For the NF270 membrane, at pH 4 and 7, the rejection of phytoestrogens decreased dramatically over the first 4 h of operation and was relatively stable during the later stages of filtration, suggesting that size exclusion, adsorption and convection were the main rejection mechanisms for these compounds. By contrast, at pH 11, there was only a slight reduction in the rejection of these compounds with time and t...
