Biodegradation of p-nitrophenol by aerobic granules in a sequencing batch reactor

p-Nitrophenol (PNP) is one of the most important industrial raw materials and can be found as a pollutant in industrial wastewater streams and groundwater resources. Since PNP contamination can pose a significant environmental and public health risk, the US EPA has listed PNP as a priority pollutant...
