In this study, the treatment efficiencies of three treatments, including adsorption, biological application, and photo-Fenton oxidation were sequentially evaluated for OMWW. Adsorption, biological treatment, and photo-Fenton caused decreasing phenolic contents of 48.69 %, 59.40 %, and 95 %, respectively. However, after three sequential treatments were performed, higher reduction percentages in phenolic (total 99 %) and organic contents (90 %) were observed. Although the studied fungus has not induced significant color reduction, photo-Fenton oxidation was considered to be an attractive solution, especially for color reduction. Besides, toxicity of OMWW treatment was significantly reduced.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessSequential TreatmentOlive Oil Mill WastewaterAdsorptionBiological TreatmentPhoto-Fenton OxidationToxicityArticle2053060306710.1007/s11356-012-1212-623054778Q1WOS:000318175400033N/A
