Abstract
To develop a method to treat saline phenolic wastewater in a biological contact oxidation reactor (BCOR) with immobilized cells of a marine microorganism, Oceanimonas sp., isolated from seawater. Cells were immobilized on fibre carriers in the BCOR. Saline wastewater with phenol at 1.5g/l and NaCl at 6% (w/v) was treated. In continuous assays, 99% removal of phenol was achieved and a kinetic model for the phenol degradation is presented based on Monod's equation. The BOCR system using immobilized cells of Oceanimonas efficiently treats saline phenolic wastewaters without having decrease the salinity of the wastewater.
