Technologies including the ...

Technologies including the conventional methods such as activated carbon adsorption, solvent extraction and advanced technologies such as electro‐Fenton method, membrane‐based separation method, photocatalysis and so on, which have all been successfully used for removal of phenolic compounds from water.

1. Photocatalytic degradation of phenolic compounds.

2. Ozonation

3. Extraction method(Among the techniques used for removal of phenolics from water is extraction using polar organic solvents. The extraction method of phenolics removal from wastewater can be categorised as liquid‐liquid extraction and solid phase extraction.)
