Phenolic water generated in coke ovens & by-product plant attached to an integrated steel plant containing phenol in concentration of less than 100 mg/litre can be removed by_______________?

Correct answer: B. Treating in biological oxygen pond

  • A. Chlorination
  • B. Treating in biological oxygen pond
  • C. Chemical coagulation
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Phenolic wastewater below about 100 mg/L can be treated biologically because microorganisms can degrade the phenol at this relatively low concentration. Chlorination and coagulation are not generally the preferred primary treatment for such biodegradable phenolic water.
