The annual worldwide production of all chlorophenols was estimated to be as
high as 200,000 tons, with approximately 80% used by the wood-preserving
industry (Ahlborg and Thunberg, 1980). The technical chlorophenol formulations

Water Treatment A variety of bioreactor types have been investigated for
treatment of chlorophenol- contaminated waters. These have been operated
under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions (and in sequence) and include
