Phenol Removal through Combined Biological and Enzymatic Treatments
This work studies the use of biological and combined biological/enzymatic treatments in phenol degradation. The systems studied were conventional batch aerobic biological followed or preceded by enzymatic treatment. Tyrosinase extracted from the mushroom Agaricus bispora was employed. Biological treatment efficiently degraded effluents containing up to 420 mg.L of phenol, removing 97% of the CO...
متن کاملEnzymatic approach to phenol removal from wastewater using peroxidases
Introduction Phenol and its derivatives are present in various industrial effluents and possess a high level of toxicity even at minute concentrations. This could cause serious ecological problems if phenol-containing effluents are discharged untreated or partially treated into water bodies or land sites. Method Conventional wastewater phenol removal methods, which include biological treatment,...
متن کاملevaluating the effect of glucose on phenol removal efficiency and changing the dominant microorganisms in the serial combined biological system
background: the presence of chemical compounds has different effects on the rate of degradation of materials and on changing dominant microorganisms in the biological degradation processes. these effects are related to the type and concentration of compounds. this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of glucose as a growth substrate on phenol removal efficiency and micro...
متن کاملEnzymatic Reactions in Near Critical CO2: The Effect of Pressure on Phenol Removal by Tyrosinase
The use of enzymes in supercritical CO(2) (SCCO(2)) has received extensive attention in recent years. Biocatalysts have the advantage of substrate specificity and SCCO(2) offers several advantages over liquid solvents. This work deals with the utilization of SCCO(2) as a medium for the enzymatic removal of phenol from aqueous solutions using tyrosinase. Since the presence of oxygen is crucial f...
متن کاملBiological removal of p-cresol, phenol, p-hydroxybenzoate and ammonium using a nitrifying continuous-flow reactor.
Phenolic compounds biodegradation and its effect on the nitrification process were studied. A continuous stirrer tank reactor was operated in four stages, and phenolic compounds were fed as sequential way. In the first stage, at loading rate of 220 mg NH(4)(+)-N/Ld, the consumption efficiency was of 91%, being the product, nitrate. After that, p-cresol was fed at 53 mg C/Ld, reaching removal ef...
