The slaughterhouse industry generates massive amounts of highly polluted wastewater of environmental concern. The discharge of untreated slaughterhouse wastewater (SHWW) into water bodies may cause eutrophication, dissolved oxygen depletion, and change in water temperature, which may pose a threat to aquatic life [1-3]. The leaching/ percolation of SHWW may also lead to the contamination of groundwater resources [4]. Resultantly, people may suffer from diarrhea, typhoid fever, wool sorter diseases, pneumonia, asthma, and chest and respiratory diseases [5]. Therefore, it is highly desirable to treat SHWW before its discharge into water bodies in order to save the environment and human health [6]. The treatment of SHWW with physio-chemical (filtration, coagulation, chlorination, adsorption, sedimentation) and biological (up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors, waste stabilization pond system, and sequencing batch reactors) processes, though, significantly removes its pollution load but cannot remove the recalcitrant contaminants [7]. Another disadvantage associated with physio-chemical
