“…Hall and Liver [19] reported that more than 75% of resin acids adsorb to particulate matter in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Also, because this waterway has received mill effluent for more than 50 years, bacteria residing in Rice Creek sediments probably are acclimated to resin acids as organic substrates.…”

Water samples were collected on three dates at 24 sites influenced by effluent from Georgia-Pacific's Palatka Pulp and Paper Mill Operation, a bleached and unbleached kraft mill near Palatka, Florida, USA. The sampling sites were located within the mill retention ponds, Rice Creek, and the St. John's River. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for abietic, dehydroabietic, and isopimaric acids, all of which are potentially toxic by-products of pulp production. Isopimaric acid concentrations greater than 12 mg/L were measured at the mill's effluent outfall but were less than 20 microg/L at the end of Rice Creek. This result indicates that the waters of Rice Creek provide dilution or conditions conducive for degradation or sorption of these compounds. Large differences in resin acid concentrations were observed between sampling events. In two sampling events, the maximum observed concentrations were less than 2 mg/L for each analyte. In a third sampling event, all of the compounds were detected at concentrations greater than 10 mg/L. Data from the three sample dates showed that resin acid concentrations were below 20 microg/L before the confluence of Rice Creek and the St. John's River in all cases.

“…On the other hand, [70% of the extractable resin acids discharged from the biological treatment system and found in the Tarawera River, were bound to 0.05-15 micron particles (Ali- Kanber et al 2000). While it can be anticipated that resin acids will bind with microbial biomass formed during oxidative treatment (Hall and Liver 1996), we wished to confirm this in controlled laboratory studies. In addition the role played by the particulate material remaining in the clarified primary effluent is not known.…”

Reactor studies of aerobic degradation of effluent from the first and last ponds of the treatment system of two New Zealand pulp and paper mills indicated that filterable BOD(5), resin acids and transformed resin acids, free and bound, degraded at similar rates. During oxidative treatment the resin acids of untreated effluent became increasingly bound to particulate material and a sediment high in abiet-13-enoic acid was formed.
