Combined biotechnological-chemical method for the treatment of liquid wastes from the table olives production

摘要

Treating liquid waste from production or storage of edible olives to reduce contamination (COD concentration) by at least90% and phenol concentration by up to 98% and so allow feeding with safety to central biological industrial or communal clarification plant comprises (1) biologically treating with Aspergillus and then (2) chemically oxidizing with hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst optionally with UV radiation, sunshine or electrolysis.
