Effect of biodegradable organic matter concentration on phenol removal rate from oil refinery wastewater using anaerobic pond system

Abstract

Background: Phenol and its components are toxic materials found in various environmental resources due to industrial development. It is necessary to eliminate these toxic substances for the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the concentration of biodegradable organic matter and the phenol removal rate from oil refinery wastewater using anaerobic pond..
