The biodegradation effect of acclimated mixed culture in the high phenol concentration has been studied by a batch reactor. The kinetic constants of the Haldane equation have been determined by the batch reactor: specific growth rate is 0.539 h-1, half saturation is 28.8 mg·L-1 and substrate inhibition constant is 73.2 mg·L-1.
