Removal of low molecular weight phenols from olive oil mill wastewater using microalgae
2003
Pinto, G. | Pollio, A. | Previtera, L. | Stanzione, M. | Temussi, F.
The treatment of olive oil mill wastewater (OMW) with two phenol resistant algae, Ankistrodesmus braunii and Scenedesmus quadricauda, showed a limited reduction of phenol content after 5 d of treatment, irrespective of algal concentration. Otherwise, cultures of both algae, grown in the dark, degraded over 50% of the low molecular weight phenols contained in OMW, but they were not completely removed, but were biotransformed into other non-identified, aromatic compounds.
