Wastewater from fiber board manufacture consisting in a mixture ofPinus radiata, Eucaliptus globulus and LaureBopsis phillipiana (tepa) (3:1:1) has been studied in laboratory scale activated sludge reactors with organic load rate range of 50-1700 gCOD/m3.d. A stable operation at high organic load rate with hydraulic retention time of one day was achieved. Purification efflciencies up to 90% of COD removal could be achieved in an activated sludge treatment of fiber board wastewater working with 1 day HRT for wood log cooking wastewater and with 4 days HRT when glueing wastewater is added to the cooking wastewater treatment. Suspended solids, color and phenol concentration were negligible in the efluent of the activated sludge system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
