Phenol is an organic, aromatic compound that occurs naturally in the
environment and its origin is both anthropogenic as well as xenobiotic [1]. They are
regular constituents of coke processing unit waste waters. Even at relatively low
concentrations of 5–25 mg/L phenol affects aquatic life. This imparts medicinal taste
and odour to municipal drinking water. The presence of the compounds in inland
waters creates lot of havoc and stress on eco-systems. [2, 3].
