“…The difference in the colour reduction was related to differences in aeration between stationary and shaking flasks conditions. Basidiomycetes were also applied in the paper effluent aim decoloration, as Pleurotus sajor-caju, P. platypus and P. citrinopileatus (11). After 6 days, P. sajor-caju decolorized 66.7% of the effluent.…”

“…One of the specific problems that have not been solved until now is the strong dark colour of the effluents, which is primarily due to lignin and its derivatives released from the substrate and discharged in the effluents, mainly from the pulping, bleaching and chemical recovery stages (11). Dark colour of the effluent is not only aesthetically unacceptable but can increase water temperature and decrease the photosynthesis; both can lead to decreased concentration of dissolved oxygen (5).…”

Bacillus pumilus and Paenibacillus sp. were applied on the paper mill effluent to investigate the colour remotion. Inocula were individually applied in effluent at pH 7.0, 9.0 and 11.0. The real colour and COD remotion after 48h at pH 9.0 were, respectively, 41.87% and 22.08% for B. pumilus treatment and 42.30% and 22.89% for Paenibacillus sp. Gel permeation chromatography was used to verify the molar masses of compounds in the non-treated and treated effluent, showing a decrease in the compounds responsible for the paper mill effluent colour.

“…This effluent comes out from pulping, bleaching and chemical recovery phases. The brown colour of the effluent may increase water temperature and decrease photosynthesis, both of which may lead to reduce the concentration of dissolved oxygen of the water bodies (Bajpai et al, 1993;Ragunathan and Swaminathan, 2004) (Table 2).…”

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.
