Solutions of 20, 50, 100 and 150 mg/l of phenol and o‐cresol, and of 10, 20 and 50 mg/l of p‐xylenol were aerated in laboratory tank with the intensity in the range from 6 to 30 m 3 of air per m 3 per hr. The presence of phenol and o‐cresol in water enhanced the aeration kinetics with effects growing with aeration intensity. The presence of p‐xylenol caused increases or decreases in oxygen transfer rates, depending on the concentration of the substance and intensity of aeration. Only influence of phenol seemed not to be concentration dependent.
