The total mono-cyclic phenol reduction in OMW in this study was carried out by aerobic pre-treatment using the yeast Candida tropicalis in a 18 L batch reactor at 30 °C for 12 days followed by anaerobic co-digestion. A COD removal of 62% and a reduction in the total mono-cyclic phenol content by 51% of the mixture was achieved in the aerobic pre-treatment. Pig slurry was added as co-substrate to supplement the low nitrogen levels in the olive mill wastewater. Subsequent anaerobic treatment was carried out in a 20 L fixed-bed reactor at 37 °C and HRT between 11 and 45 days. After a long start-up period, the OLR was increased from 1.25 to 5 kg COD m-3 day-1 during the last 30 days, resulting in subsequent increase in overall COD removal and biogas production, up to maximum values of 85% and 29 Lbiogas Lreactor- 1 da y- 1, respectively. Methane content of the biogas produced from the anaerobic digestion ranged between 65% and 74%. 2009-08-02T08:16:21Z 2009-08-02T08:16:21Z 2009-05 Article Journal of Hazardous Materials, vol.164 (2-3), 2009, pages 1398-1405 03043-894 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/03043894 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/6664 en Elsevier B.V.
