There is a rapid development in industries since industrial revolution began in the latter half of the 18th century, which not only significantly promotes development of economy all over the world and prosperity in societies, but also extremely improves our lives. However, a large amount of wastewaters including some toxic and hazardous materials such as some metals ions and some non-biodegraded organic compounds are usually produced in many factories during production process. These pollutants such as simple/complex aromatic compounds in wastewaters discharged from factories such as textiles, rubber, paper, plastic, explosive, pharmaceuticals, petroleum refining and cosmetics factories into ditches/rivers are stable to light and oxidation as resistant to aerobic digestion, causing damage to the aquatic life and food web (Kagalkar, et al., 2010, Saratale, et al., 2011, Tabrez&Ahmad, 2009). The basic properties of simple aromatic compounds are shown in Table 1. The compounds can also cause allergic dermatitis and skin irritation. Furthermore, Most of them have been reported to be carcinogenic and mutagenic for aquatic organisms (LorencGrabowska&Gryglewicz, 2007), so discharging of the pollutants is becoming the most challenging threat to environment safety and even human beings’ lives. The introduction of toxic and/or non-biodegradable compounds in the natural environment has been a world wide serious problem that has been paid more attention to by many environmentalist and research institutions from different countries.
