“…Various authors have considered options of treating the process water so that it can be reused within the normal operations of papermaking (Tenno and Paulapuro 1999;Verenich et al 2000;Webb 2002;Nuortila-Jokinen et al 2004;Hubbe 2007c;Ordóñez et al 2010;Mauchauffee et al 2012;Saif et al 2013). Wider review articles and books dealing with general aspects of wastewater treatment have appeared (Scott and Ollis 1995;Thompson et al 2001;Pokhrel and Viraraghavan 2004;Singh et al 2012;Riffat 2013;Ranade 2014;Spellman 2014;Zhao et al 2014;Hopcroft 2015;Blanco et al 2016;Fatta-Kassinos et al 2016). Finally, Ince et al (2011) reviewed strategies that can be implemented in the P&P industry to prevent pollution.…”

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 ...
