Abstract :Phenol and phenolic compounds are common organic contaminants in air and wastewater, which are released into the environment from various industrial activities such as petrochemical and pharmaceutical processes. Phenol is classified as hazardous pollutants because of its potentials harm to human health. Thus, the removal of phenolic compounds from wastewater is very much essential. The industrial effluent which is handled contains hazardous chemicals like phenol etc. which make the water toxic and increase its COD by 60000-70000 mg/liter. For the eco-friendly discharge of this effluent, this effluent must be treated and the COD value must be reduced. So, the removal of phenol from effluent is studied by hydrodynamic cavitation. Hydro-dynamic cavitation is a very efficient and convenient method of separation. In which pressure is varied by passing the liquid through a specified geometry of construction such as orifice plate and venturi. This method is preferred over all other methods because it is one of the cheapest energy efficient method and scales up of the method is easy.
