“…myricae and reported significant reduction in colour (88.5%), lignin (79.5%), COD (87.2%) and phenol (87.7%) in two steps. Ghoreishi and Haghighi [41] used chemical and biological reactions in series and reported 99% of BOD and 92% of COD and 97% of TSS reduced after 6 days of incubation [41]. After comparing the results with previous studies the time taken to complete the degradation process was less in our case.…”

Pulp and paper industrial effluent is rich in recalcitrant compounds and causes pollution. For the treatment of such compounds activated sludge process is frequently used in which F/M ratio is kept low. This treatment results in effective biochemical oxygen demand removal but other waste water parameters are not reduced effectively due to lack of dissolve oxygen.In the present study sequential batch reactor was used for the removal of pollutants from the waste water of pulp and paper mill by using bacterial consortium (Klebsiella sp., Alcaligens sp. and Cronobacter sp.). The aim of present research is to identify the influences of F/M ratio and dissolved oxygen concentration on the microorganism's growth and pollutant removal. The process of bioremediation was optimized by Taguchi approach. Bioremediation experiment resulted in reduction of chemical and biochemical oxygen demand up to 72.3% and 91.1%, respectively. A significant reduction in colour (55%), adsorbable organic halides (45.4%), total dissolve solids (22%) and total suspended solids (86.7%) was also observed within 14hrs while, the sludge volume index was 52. The wastewater after the treatment process meets the standard given by regulatory agencies and can be discharged into the environment without any risks. Journal of Bior emediation & Biodegradation

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.

On the positive side, the industry is based on the usage of renewable, photosynthetic resources. On the other hand, the industry discharges huge quantities of aqueous effluents. Large volumes (up to 70 m 3 ) of wastewater ...

“…Some white rot strains such as Ceriopsis subvermispora could decolourize kraft-bleaching effluent at 90% and also resulted in reduction of COD of up to 45% which correlated well to our recent report 18 . However, higher percentages of COD, BOD, and total solids reduction in pulp mill wastewater have been reported using a reduction-biological technique 20 . In Thailand, thermotolerant white rot fungi, such as Coriolus versicolor, Pycnoporus spp., and Lenzites spp., have been isolated from the cooler northern region and used for 4 .…”

Twenty isolates of white rot fungi were collected from several provinces in Thailand. Eight isolates could be cultured to test for thermotolerance and to screen for the presence of ligninolytic enzymes using Phanerochaete chrysosporium as a reference. Of the eight isolates, only three species Daedaleopsis sp., Schizophyllum commune PT, and S. commune SL were able to grow above 40°C. All three species exhibited 2,2 -azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS)-oxidizing activity on ABTS agar plates. Only P. chrysosporium could oxidize manganese on MnCl 2 agar plates. Both P. chrysosporium and Daedaleopsis sp. were able to decolourize wastewater on wastewater agar plates. All fungal cell suspensions tested decolourized wastewater No. 1 (pH 8.07, chemical oxygen demand (COD) 4347 mg/l) from the pulping process and wastewater No. 2 (pH 6.94, COD 4000 mg/l) from the pulping process combined with that from the paper recycling process. Daedaleopsis sp. and P. chrysosporium exhibited the highest ability to decolourize wastewater No. 1 (52%) and No. 2 (86%), respectively. Laccase activities were detected in the decolourized effluents and all fungi tested reduced the COD by 59-71% (No. 1) and 66-83% (No. 2).
