“…They have been used in some P&P industry applications where the goal is to desalinate the water, in addition to removing other contaminants (Zhang et al 2009;Khosravi et al 2011;Li and Zhang 2011;Sheldon et al 2012;Saif et al 2013; Ordóñez et al 2013). For instance, Khosravi et al (2011) demonstrated the use of an RO system in removing color and oxygen demand from P&P mill effluent. The permeate flux was low, but the resulting water quality was distinctly higher than what was achieved in parallel tests involving nanofiltration.…”

“…Thus, the permeate can be used as intake water for a paper mill, making it possible to run the operation with close to zero liquid effluent (Pizzichini et al 2005;Khosravi et al 2011;Hermosilla et al 2012a;Saif et al 2013). Sierka et al (1997), Zhang et al (2009), andBennani et al (2012) evaluated systems in which nanofiltration was used as a preliminary step before reverse osmosis separation of paper industry wastewater, reporting almost complete removal of solutes.…”

“…Membrane systems have been used by some P&P facilities to meet government regulations regarding effluent discharge. The Irving Pulp and Paper in New Brunswick, which is a 950 t/d facility, has been in operation for 15 years without the need for a biological wastewater treatment system (Hodgson et al 1998) due to membrane usage.Some of the most commonly mentioned types of membrane filtration are indicated in Table 1 Tavares et al 2002;Gönder et al 2011Gönder et al , 2012 Nanofiltration, dialysis 1 to 5 nm Ahn et al 1998;Lastra et al 2004;Kaya et al 2010 Reverse osmosis < 1 nm Sierka et al 1997;Khosravi et al 2011;Ordóñez et al 2011 Starting from the top of Table 1, the coarsest membranes, i.e. microfiltration membranes, appear to have been mainly considered as pre-filtration membranes upstream of membranes having finer pores for wastewater applications (Le-Clech et al 2006).…”

“…For example, Lastra et al (2004) were able to separate metal complexes from pulp mill wastewater by nanofiltration. Other researchers have found nanofiltration to be effective for the removal of color and hard-to-degrade organic compounds in such effluents (Ahn et al 1998; Huukilo et al 2002;Mänttäri and Nyström 2007;Gönder et al 2011;Khosravi et al 2011;Sheldon et al 2012). Laitinen et al (2001) found that the performance of membrane processes could be improved by an optimized program of backflushing.…”

“…High pressures are required to force water molecules through such membranes, often in opposition to what would be expected from salt concentration gradients and the resulting osmotic pressure. They have been used in some P&P industry applications where the goal is to desalinate the water, in addition to removing other contaminants (Zhang et al 2009;Khosravi et al 2011;Li and Zhang 2011;Sheldon et al 2012;Saif et al 2013; Ordóñez et al 2013).

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.

In the present research, the efficiency of turbidity and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction from the wood industry wastewater (WIW) by the use of a combined coagulation–flocculation–decantation (CFD) – Fenton process was studied. Firstly, the performance of three coagulants such as ferric chloride (FeCl3), aluminum sulphate (alum), and polyaluminum chloride (PACl) was evaluated. The polyacrylamide (PAM) was used as a flocculant. The results showed that the polyaluminum chloride had a high removal efficiency. The COD reduction of 84.1% and turbidity removal of 82.0% of were obtained in coagulation–flocculation–decantation (CFD). Secondly, Fenton process was optimized, by the use of a response surface methodology (RSM), with application of a central composite design (CCD). The maximum turbidity and COD removal obtained by this process were 94.1% and 72.5% respectively, under optimal conditions ([Fe2+] = 250 mg/L, [H2O2] = 500 mg/L, pH 3.5, time 60 min). The kinetics of COD and turbidity removal were determined by the model of first order. In conclusion, the combination of coagulation–flocculation–decantation (CFD) – Fenton process presented as a remarkable method for wood wastewater treatment. Practitioner points A combination of coagulation–flocculation–decantation and Fenton process was introduced for the wood industry wastewater treatment. A designed experimental approach for treatment of wood industry wastewater using a Fenton process was studied. The yields of COD, BOD5, N‐NO3, P‐PO4, and dye removal were obtained according to the standard limits in Iran.
