Sequential removal of cyanide and phenol using zerovalent iron and Rhodococcus pyridinivorans PDB9T NS-1 encapsulated in a freeze-dried Ba-alginate nano-biohybrid system
Phenolic compounds and cyanides are the major pollutants in coke-oven wastewater, posing serious human health hazards and ecosystem damage. Although the microbial biodegradation of phenolic pollutants is an eco-friendly and efficient technique, even very low cyanide concentrations inhibit the growth of phenol-degrading...
