Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter deals with liquid chromatographic determination of phenols and substituted derivatives in water samples. Phenol and substituted phenols such as chlorinated phenols and related aromatic compounds are known to be widespread as components of industrial waste. These compounds are made in the course of many industrial processes worldwide—for example, in the manufacture of plastics, dyes, drugs, antioxidants, and in the pulp and paper industry. Phenols and related compounds are highly toxic to humans and aquatic organisms, thus becoming a cause for serious concern in the environment when they enter the food chain as water pollutants. New environmental regulations introduced throughout the world put greater pressure on industrial waste treatments. The chapter presents different parts of the systems are treated separately. Method developments for the determination of phenolics in pulp industrial waste waters and biotechnological samples from these sources are presented. Enzyme based detection systems for phenolic compounds and their applications to wastewater are described.
