Abstract: Adsorption isotherms of 4 estrogenic compounds, estrone, 17β-estradiol, 17α-ethinylestradiol and Bisphenol A, using molecularly imprinted polymer were studied. The isotherms can be simulated by Langmuir model. According to the adsorption isotherms and the template's mass balance, an experimental concept, selective adsorption ratio, SAR, was proposed to assess how many template molecules extracted out of MIP could create selective binding sites. The SAR of the molecularly imprinted polymer was 74.3% for E2. This concept could be used to evaluate quantitatively the selective adsorption
