Addressing major environmental issues, such as water pollution, is essential nowadays in realizing sustainable development. The ever-increasing world population and industrial development have led to the introduction of diferent types of chemicals to the environment, leading to considerable deterioration in environmental quality. A major class of these chemicals is phenolic compounds, which are hazardous pollutants and highly toxic even at low concentrations. In recent years, researchers have realized the importance of extracting new bacterial strains that are efective in treating diferent types of highly contaminated wastewaters at diferent severe conditions. They also focused considerable amount of research on developing new types of reactors that would provide eicient mixing and reduce mass transfer limitations. The aim is to develop and evaluate efective reactor systems and biocatalysts for the biodegradation of major contaminants in petroleum reinery wastewater. This chapter examines the diferent available options for the treatment of reinery wastewater with more focus on novel biotreatment options.

Adsorptive removal of 2-, 3-and 4-chlorophenol from aqueous solutions by granular activated carbon was studied. The influence of different experimental parameters like initial concentration, carbon dosage and pH on the adsorption of monochlorophenols were evaluated. The influence of type of acid and base used for water acidification or alkalization was also tested. The results indicate that acidic pH is favorable for the adsorption of chlorophenols; however the type of acid or alkali used for the change of pH has a little influence and did not significantly affect the adsorption efficiency. The pH played an important role in the adsorption kinetics of chlorophenols at pH values above the pKa values of the compounds, while little influence on adsorption rate was observed if pH was decreased below the pKa values.
