“…In pulp bleaching, chlorophenolics are present both in free (hexane extractable) and bound (extractable with strong alkali) forms and bound to dissolved organic matter and particles (Paasivirta et al 1992). For example, chlorophenols, guaiacols, and catechols are formed in high quantities (Suntio et al 1988;Koistinen et al 1990), guaiacols and catechols being chemically bound to chlorolignin (Schechter et al 1990). They can be methylated by microorganisms to more persistent and lipophilic forms as chloroanisoles, veratroles, or aromatic chloroethers, which are persistent derivatives of chlorophenolics.…”

“…In pulp and paper mill effluents, hundreds of chlorinated organic compounds have been identified, including chlorinated hydrocarbons, phenols, catechols, guaiacols, furans, dioxins, syringyl lignin, and vanillins (Suntio et al 1988;Freire et al 2003). Organochlorine compounds are usually biologically persistent, recalcitrant, and highly toxic to the environment (Baig and Liechti 2001;Thompson et al 2001).…”

The pulp and paper (P&P) industry worldwide has achieved substantial progress in treating both process water and wastewater, thus limiting the discharge of pollutants to receiving waters. This review covers a variety of wastewater treatment methods, which provide P&P companies with costeffective ways to limit the release of biological or chemical oxygen demand, toxicity, solids, color, and other indicators of pollutant load. Conventional wastewater treatment systems, often comprising primary clarification followed by activated sludge processes, have been widely implemented in the P&P industry. Higher levels of pollutant removal can be achieved by supplementary treatments, which can include anaerobic biological stages, advanced oxidation processes, bioreactors, and membrane filtration technologies. Improvements in the performance of wastewater treatment operations often can be achieved by effective measurement technologies and by strategic addition of agents including coagulants, flocculants, filter aids, and optimized fungal or bacterial cultures. In addition, P&P mills can implement upstream process changes, including dissolved-air-flotation (DAF) systems, filtration save-alls, and kidney-like operations to purify process waters, thus reducing the load of pollutants and the volume of effluent being discharged to end-of-pipe wastewater treatment plants.

“…Afin de résoudre les problèmes analytiques de l'identification et de la quantification individuelle de ces composés, dont seul environ 20 %, représentant plus de 200 xénobiotiques halogènes différents (Suntio et al 1988) sont connus, différents paramètres de groupes ont été établis. La méthode des AOX (composés Organo-Halogénés Adsorbables), basée sur 1'adsorption des composés organo-halogénés sur du charbon actif, permet ainsi de quantifier 90 à 95 % des composés organo-halogénés présents dans l'eau, avec un taux de recouvrement généralement supérieur à 90 % (Stevens et al 1985).…”

Accumulation of extractable organic halogens (EOX) in different organs of the freshwater mussel, Anodonta cygnea L., exposed in situ to chlorine bleached pulp and paper mill effluents Keywords : Anodonta cygnea, bioaccumulation, gills, digestive gland, gonad, AOX, EOX.Freshwater mussels, Anodonta cygnea L., were collected at a reference site and transferred to three monitoring stations located upstream (one station) and downstream (two stations) of a chlorine bleaching pulp and paper mill. During the 91 days of the experiment, water and mussels were sampled regularly at the three stations and halogenated organic micropollutants were determined using the sum-parameters AOX and EOX. The.general water quality decreased downstream of the effluent release and shows a chronic AOX contamination ; the mean AOX concentrations increased by 9 to 16 compared to the upstream station. The mussels exposed at the upstream station showed no significant variation in EOX concentrations. In contrast, a progressive EOX • accumulation was observed in the gills, digestive glands and gonads of the mussels exposed at the two downstream sites. The accumulation factors, calculated as the ratio between the final and the initial EOX concentrations varied between.3.5 and 7.4 according to the considered organ and station.

In the present review, the suitability of adsorption process using low cost adsorbent for the treatment of pulp and paper mill effluent has been discussed. It is clear that adsorption processes are appropriate for the removal of recalcitrant compounds such as surfactants and pesticides, among others biodegradable or non-biodegradable compound present in pulp and paper mills effluents. The importance of the adsorption is to improvement of the removal of various physico-chemical (biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), colour, suspended solids, lignin), heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Fe, Zn, Ni and Mn etc) organochlorine compounds, all recalcitrant pollutant, reduce toxicity, enhance colour removal by using different cost effective adsorbents. The effective use of the different adsorbents developed from different adsorbent media such as activated carbon, agriculture by product and industrial wastes and sludge as adsorbents for the removal of different pollutants from the various processes and operations of pulp and paper mill as potential alternatives to different treatment process and received widespread attention. Adsorption necessity is a novel treatment option to improve the efficiency of removal within the discharge limits of wastewaters into the receiving bodies without causing any damage of the environment. However, still there is a need to find out the practical usefulness of such low cost adsorbent at industrial scale with the special reference to metals.
