“…One of the underlying principles is to enhance the convective contact between water and films of biomass. For instance, Minami et al (1991) employed a fixed bed of pumice stone so that the wastewater would pass over the surfaces of adsorbed biofilms under anaerobic conditions. Jackson- Moss et al (1992) employed activated carbon as a substrate for a bioreactor for bleach plant effluent and anaerobic conditions.…”

“…One of the key considerations is to employ a membrane having sufficiently fine pore distribution to exclude the passage of biological cells and viruses. The following studies have employed ultrafiltration to separate clarified water from the solids in P&P mill process waters or effluent (Minami et al 1991;Zaidi et al 1992;Ragona and Hall 1998;Huuhilo et al 2002;Tavares et al 2002;Komesvarakul et al 2003;Nuortila-Jokinen et al 2004;Mänttäri et al 2008; Ordonez et al 2010;Puro et al 2010;Gönder et al 2011Gönder et al , 2012Simonič and Vnučec 2012;Singh et al 2012;Quezada et al 2014).

“…Such compounds are generated through the action of sulfate-reducing bacteria (Roest et al 2005;Janssen et al 2009). The reduced sulfur compounds can interfere with the generation of methane (Minami et al 1991). H2S is regarded as the most toxic form of the sulfide species towards microbial communities responsible for the production of methane.…”

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 ...

A sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain WW1, was isolated from a thermophilic bioreactor operated at 65°C with methanol as sole energy source in the presence of sulfate. Growth of strain WW1 on methanol or acetate was inhibited at a sulfide concentration of 200 mg l −1 , while on H 2 /CO 2 , no apparent inhibition occurred up to a concentration of 500 mg l −1 . When strain WW1 was co-cultured under the same conditions with the methanol-utilizing, non-sulfatereducing bacteria, Thermotoga lettingae and Moorella mulderi, both originating from the same bioreactor, growth and sulfide formation were observed up to 430 mg l −1 . These results indicated that in the co-cultures, a major part of the electron flow was directed from methanol via H 2 /CO 2 to the reduction of sulfate to sulfide. Besides methanol, acetate, and hydrogen, strain WW1 was also able to use formate, malate, fumarate, propionate, succinate, butyrate, ethanol, propanol, butanol, isobutanol, with concomitant reduction of sulfate to sulfide. In the absence of sulfate, strain WW1 grew only on pyruvate and lactate. On the basis of 16S rRNA analysis, strain WW1 was most closely related to Desulfotomaculum thermocisternum and Desulfotomaculum australicum. However, physiological properties of strain WW1 differed in some aspects from those of the two related bacteria.
