Chemical laboratories employ catechol for the detection and determination of various ions. Therefore, catechol frequently contaminates the wastewaters generated by rubber, chemical, photographic, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and oil industries [6, 7]. Catechol causes significant irritability to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, while it has proven to cause DNA damage, vascular collapse, coma, and death [8]. For public health and environmental protection against the hazards associated with catechol, catechol-bearing aqueous waste must be treated using efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally benign techniques before it is discharged [9, 10].
