Abstract
The o-cresol is one of the VOCs toxic compounds, it is used as pharmaceutical intermediates, reagents, custom synthesis and as a solvent, disinfectant and chemical intermediate for a wide variety of products including resins, paints and textiles. Efficient treatment technologies are required to reduce o-cresol concentration in wastewater to acceptable levels because o-cresol is hazardous even at low concentration. Biological treatment methods have been researched to treat o-cresol in wastewater. Several studies have shown that o-cresol can aerobically degraded by a wide variety of microorganisms.
