This paper presents a process for phenol removal comprising a reaction step in which phenol is polymerized in the presence of an enzyme horseradish peroxidase. A crude preparation from horseradish roots was used as a low purity source of the enzyme. The technical feasibility of the process was studied using 1 to 10 mM synthetic phenol solutions. Experimental results showed the potential of the proposed technique. A phenol conversion higher than 90% was observed at the polymerization process.

This paper presents longtime (1986-2001) researches waste waters quality from "Djuka Dinic" tanery, Nis (Serbia, Serbia&Montenegro), as well as their influence to recipients (municipal sewers and the Nisava river).Needed grades of purification of relevant pollutants to recipient are defined as well as schematic possible solutions for waste water purification. The most optimal solution for purification of waste water from tanery from "Djuka Dinic", Nis, is common leading of waste waters to municipal sewers (waste waters from factory 2 for pig leather treatment enter now to the Nisava river without purification) with adequate pretreatment. Based to recently experiences as well as laboratory researches pretreatment consist of: rudely dispersed material removal (grates and sieves), equalization, primary sedimentation and coagulation with flocculation and sedimentation gives good results. Meanwhile, technological purification scheme that include separation flot from leaching and tannering from common flow of collective waste waters and their special treatment, respectively repeated use, has significantly adventages: pollution decreasing of collective waste water, saving of basic reagents that use as raw materials in treatment leather in recuperation or repeated use, eliminating waste sludge with chromium and economize of purification process.

In order to protect the water current of the river Tisza, the fermentation industry AD "Fermin" Senta, Serbia (Serbia&Montenegro) has built the biological waste water treatment plant for the waste water discharged from the yeasts producing factory, which started the production in 1982. So far the output of the plant can be definied as not equal to the designed capacity level. The results of four effect analyses have been shown in the tabelar survey as well as the technological block scheme of both the current and suggested solution projects. The suggested solution basically contains phase separation in anaerobic procedure and the intraduction of tertial treatment method (nitrification and denitrification). The paper presents a contribution to optimal technology of industrial waste water treatment.

The paper is concerned with the procedures of treatment of wastewaters from sugar-processing plants. A short survey is given of both the aerobic and anaerobic procedures with a special regard of the possibility of recirculating the treated wastewaters. Data are presented for treatment of wastewaters originated from sugar-processing plants by the active sludge procedure carried out on a laboratory scale. It was concluded that thus purified water, after final membrane treatment, could be recirculated to the production process.
