Abstract

The adverse effects of high concentration of phenolic compounds in wastewater on aquatic organisms are a major environmental issue.

Here we review the use of algae in removing phenol and phenolic derivatives. We discuss phenolic wastewater treatment, mechanisms of adsorption and degradation, and effects of excessive phenols on algal cells.
