“…The integrated technology is based on the association of chemico-physical and photochemical techniques. Biological processes (Minardi et al 2001) use microbial pools, either present in nature or selected, that utilize the organic/inorganic substances for their growth (Tandoi 1991;Aresta and Galatola 1997). The organic fraction, which contains mostly phenols, is either converted into water and carbon dioxide (under aerobic conditions), or into methane and carbon dioxide (under anaerobic conditions; Aresta et al 1991).…”

A bench-scale pilot plant has been developed for the treatment of olive-mill water. The plant is fed in a continuous mode and implements a primary treatment (sand filtering and irradiation with UV-rays) and a secondary treatment (anoxic and aerobic biological treatment). Satisfactory results were obtained and the treated green water falls under the limits of the Italian legislation. Veratric and ferulic acid biodegradation were studied under anoxic conditions in order to verify the requirements for optimal biodegradation.
