Abstract

Phenol is the priority pollutant since it is toxic & harmful to organisms even at low concentrations. The importance of the study related to phenol degradation is to ensure and provide a safe place for next generation i9n future especially water sources. In this study, phenol removal from wastewater by adsorption method has been reviewed. The adsorptive removal of phenol, adsorption isotherms, kinetics, various factors that affect the rate of adsorption and regeneration and disposal of adsorbents has been discussed in this study. However, there is a strong need to study more on cost effective and efficient methods for regeneration & disposal of adsorbents.
