The results of investigations into the effects of wastewaters from pulp and paper production on the River Sava are presented in this paper. Two situations were studied, i.e., when the treatment plant was in operation and when it was not working. The results of the investigations indicated that the wastewaters had significant effects on the Sava. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) were increased and some toxic substances were present at high concentrations, e.g., phenols, oils and grease, dyestuff, etc. The negative influence of the wastewaters was greater during the summer, at low water levels in the Sava. The Sava is a tributary of the River Danube, into which the pollution from this river finally flows. Regardless of the water flow rates, toxic substances are constantly accumulating, and, as a result, even such large systems as the Danube and the Sava are becoming more and more polluted.

At present, a large amount of water required for paper production and various chemicals has been identified in effluents, which is produced at different steps of paper making in paper mills. The pulp and paper industry is typically related to pollution difficulties related to high biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), colour, suspended solids, lignin and chlorinated compounds. Several studies have been made on eliminate these difficulties of pulp and paper effluents, the problem still continues. Although the physical and chemical methods are on the track of treatment, they are not on par with biological treatment because of cost ineffectiveness and residual effects. The biological treatment is known to be effective in reducing the organic load and toxic effects of paper mill effluents. Some microorganisms including bacteria and fungi have been involved in degrading the chemicals present in pulp and paper mill effluent. This article is an overview of the attempts made by several researchers worldwide to use biotechnological methods for degradation of the toxic compounds present in pulp and paper mill effluents by using fungi, bacteria, algae and enzymes. The current study clearly shows that application of native dominant bacterial and fungal isolates may be used forthe treatment of large pulp and paper mills effluents.

Pulp and paper mill effluent induced phytotoxicity and genotoxicity in mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) and root tip cells of onion (Allium cepa L.) were investigated. Physicochemical characteristics such as electrical conductivity (EC), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total phenols of the pulp and paper mill effluent were beyond the permissible limit specified for the discharge of effluent in inland water bodies. Compared to control plants, seedling exposed to 100% effluent concentration showed a reduction in root and shoot length and biomass by 65%, 67%, and 84%, respectively, after 5 days of treatment. A. cepa root tip cells exposed to effluent concentrations ranging from 25 to 100% v/v showed a significant decrease in mitotic index (MI) from 32 to 11% with respect to control root tip cells (69%) indicating effluent induced cytotoxicity. Further, the effluent induced DNA damage as evidenced by the presence of various chromosomal aberrations like stickiness, chromosome loss, anaphase bridge, c-mitosis, tripolar anaphase, vagrant chromosome, and telophase bridge and micronucleated and binucleated cell in A. cepa. Findings of the present study indicate that pulp and paper mill effluents may act as genotoxic and phytotoxic agents in plant model system.

Adsorption Processes

In the present review, the suitability of adsorption process using low cost adsorbent for the treatment of pulp and paper mill effluent has been discussed. It is clear that adsorption processes are appropriate for the removal of recalcitrant compounds such as surfactants and pesticides, among others biodegradable or non-biodegradable compound present in pulp and paper mills effluents. The importance of the  adsorption is to improvement of the  removal of various physico- chemical (biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), colour, suspended solids, lignin), heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Fe, Zn, Ni and Mn etc) organochlorine compounds, all recalcitrant pollutant, reduce toxicity, enhance colour removal by using different cost effective adsorbents. The effective use of the different adsorbents developed from different adsorbent media such as activated carbon, agriculture by product and industrial wastes and sludge as adsorbents  for the removal of different pollutants from the various processes and operations of pulp and paper mill as potential alternatives to different treatment process and received widespread attention. Adsorption necessity is a novel treatment option to improve the efficiency of removal within the discharge limits of wastewaters into the receiving bodies without causing any damage of the environment. However, still there is a need to find out the practical usefulness of such low cost adsorbent at industrial scale with the special reference to metals.

The use of constructed wetlands (CW) to treat domestic as well as industrial wastewater is rapidly emerging as a viable alternative in India. Constructed wetland systems offer several potential advantages as a wastewater treatment process. These advantages include simple operation and maintenance and lower construction and operating costs. The study evaluated the effectiveness of the subsurface flow constructed wetland for pulp and paper mill wastewater treatment and also the effectiveness of plant species. A pilot scale study was conducted to examine the feasibility of a CW system for treatment of pulp and paper mill wastewater during summers as well as winters at different hydraulic retention time (HRT) such as 1.5 days, 3.5 days and 6.5 days. Wetland beds were prepared with easily available plants such as Typha angustifolia and Canna indica. Specific performance objectives were to decrease biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total solids (TS) and color. Comparison of mean inlet and outlet concentrations showed that the CW system could effectively reduce the output of TS (87.6 ± 1.1%), COD (86.6 ± 2.0%), BOD5 (80.01 ± 0.1%), color (89.4 ± 0.6%) during summer and TS (72.15 ± 0.71%), COD (70.94 ± 2.3%), BOD5 (72.07 ± 2.2%) and color (74.90 ± 0.47%) during winter at 3.5 days HRT.
