Abstract: Phenol is one of the main components of the wastewater from crude oil refineries and it is used for the target contamination degraded in this paper. A key method for the treatment of wastewater from crude oil refineries was developed by different biofilm-electrode reactors. The results indicate that phenol degradation rate in the biofilm-cathode of the biofilm-electrode reactor in a divided electrolytic cell is no better than the biofilm-electrode reactor in an undivided electrolytic cell. However, phenol degradation rate is 0 after 18 h reaction and the removal rate of chemical oxygen demand(COD) is 80% after 16 h reaction in the biofilm-cathode of the biofilm-electrode reactor in a divided electrolytic cell. The conditions of the phenol degradation in the biofilm-cathode of the biofilm-electrode reactor in a divided electrolytic cell were optimized. It is shown that the best conditions of the phenol degradation on the biofilm-cathode in the biofilm-electrode reactor of an divided electrolytic cell are current at 5 mA, phenol mass concentration at a lower one than 200 mg/L and the temperature at 35 ℃.
