Anaerobic biodegradation is a promising and economical process to remove phenol in the wastewater, although the reaction kinetics are often limited by the toxicity of phenol. This study proposed a strategy to accelerate phenol degradation and mitigate its inhibition on the bioprocess by adding condu...
