[Study on biodegradation of phenols in river water].
This study on the biodegradation of phenols (phenol, o-methylphenol, o-chlorophenol and resorcinol) in river water was conducted by changing the main influential factors respectively. The results of experiment showed the phenols were greatly degradated in mild temperature, neutral pH and plenty of oxygen and the rank of the phenols biodegradation from great to small was resorcinol, phenol, o-methylphenol and o-chlorophenol. Presented in this paper is also a discussion on the biodegradation mechanism of phenols.
