The most practical approach, given you have a reaction vessel with enough retention time, would be using potassium permanganate oxidation. This has been successfully demonstrated in a continuous stream of 800 gpm at almost the exact concentrations that you have. Hope this helps.

Great!

But what is the suitable retention time and the initial dose ?

Fentons will work, but way to many steps and you need more reaction vessels as compared to KMnO4 treatment. We found it economically more viable as well.

That requires bench work to get an idea of your background demand for the oxidant. There are othe reduced species in the wastestream I am sure. Vary dosing based on oxidant to phenol and run several jars over time collecting and analyzing to get your best options.
