| Abstract | AbstractThis study was conducted to investigate the potential of activated sludge which had been acclimated to phenol in biodegrading different concentrations of various phenolic compounds in the batch reactors. The phenol-acclimated activated sludge was capable to completely remove the initial phenol concentration of 280 mg/L, which was twice the concentration it had been acclimated. In the presence of o-cresol and m-cresol at the initial concentration of 280 mg/L each in the separated batch reactors, more than 95% of cresols could be removed by the phenol-acclimated activated sludge. However, the phenol-acclimated activated sludge was only able to achieve 38% of 4-chlorophenol removal efficiency at this initial concentration. The presence of 2-chlorophenol and 3-chlorophenol in the separated batch reactors at initial concentrations of, as low as, 35 mg/L was adequate to inhibit the phenol-acclimated activated sludge from removing them. The kinetic data for the phenolic compounds and their respective che... |
