Biodegradation of Phenol: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
Phenol is one of the organic pollutants in industrial waste water which causes significant environmental problems. Various methods such as chlorination, flocculation, adsorption etc. have been used for the degradation of phenol. But biological methods have proved to be the most effective and economical approach for the removal of phenol and phenol related compounds. Numerous studies on biodegradation of phenol using different types of microorganisms and bioreactors have been reported. Various kinetic models and the effect of various parameters such as initial phenol concentration, temperature, pH, etc. on biodegradation have been also studied.
