Paper Mill Effluents

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.

Qualitative And Quantitative Characteristics

AbstractThe first part of this investigation studied complex nature of chemical oxygen demand (COD ) parameter on local and overall effluents, which were obtained from two pulp and paper mills, located in the Northwest region of Russia. Contribution of individual compounds and fractions of matters having different chemical nature to COD for these effluents was established. The second part of this study shows that, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of priority pollutants and their contribution to COD for different pulp and paper mills are not the same, though these mills use similar technologies and produce similar products.

EFEKTIVITAS BIOKOAGULAN Vicia faba DALAM MEMPERBAIKI LIMBAH CAIR PULP DAN KERTAS ABSTRAK Telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai efektivitas kacang babi Vicia faba sebagai biokoagulan dalam memperbaiki sifat fisik dan kimiawi limbah cair industri pulp dan kertas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan dan konsentrasi Vicia faba yang optimum dalam memperbaiki sifat fisik kimiawi limbah cair industri pulp dan kertas. Sifat fisik dan kimia yang diteliti mencakup turbiditas, total padatan tersuspensi (TSS) limbah, kandungan kesadahan dan Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) limbah. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL), dengan lima taraf konsentrasi yaitu 0,02%; 0,04%; 0,06%; 0,08% dan 0,1% (v/v) masing-masing dengan lima kali pengulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi suspensi Vicia faba sebanyak 0,1% mampu menurunkan turbiditas limbah hingga mencapai 98,5% dan TSS limbah hingga mencapai 74,8%. Untuk parameter kimiawi, pada konsentrasi tersebut mampu menurunkan kesadahan limbah hingga 41,6%, dan kandungan COD limbah mencapai 60,6%. Kata kunci : Vicia faba, biokoagulan, limbah cair industri pulp dan kertas EFECTIVITY OF Vicia faba AS BIOCOAGULANT FOR PULP AND PAPER WASTE WATER ABSTRACT The Study about Efectivity of broad bean (Vicia faba) as a biocoagulant for pulp and paper mill waste water were conducted. Coagulation-flocculation is an important process in wastewater treatment that are used to remove colloid and suspended particles. The objective of this research was to determine the ability and the optimum concentration of Vicia faba. The observed  parameters during this research were Turbidity, Total Suspended Solid, Total Hardness and Chemical Oxygen Demand. The study was conducted using Randomize Complete Design with five replications and five level concentrations (0,02%; 0,04%; 0,06%; 0,08%; 0,1%). The data show  that the optimum concentration of Vicia faba was around 0,1%. Vicia faba at concentration 0,1% effectively removes turbidity over 98,5%, 74,8%, for Total Suspended Solid, 60,6% of Chemical Oxygen Demand and 41,6% for total hardness. Keywords: Vicia faba, biocoagulant, pulp and paper mill waste water

Abstract Pulp and paper mill effluents have been reported to cause changes in reproductive indicators of fish in laboratory and field studies. These changes include reduced egg production and gonad size, and altered hormone levels and expression of secondary sex characteristics. We examined the performance of biotreatment plants for their potential in abating effects of pulp and paper mill effluents on fish reproduction under laboratory conditions. A bleached kraft mill effluent (BKME) treated in an aerated lagoon and a thermomechanical pulp mill effluent (TMPE) treated by aerobic sludge in a sequential batch reactor were selected for study. Mature fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to effluents before and after biotreatment under continuous renewal conditions for 21 days. Egg production was monitored daily, while morphometric parameters (length, weight, gonad size), secondary sexual characteristics, and steroid hormone and vitellogenin levels were measured at the end of the effluent exposure. The effluent from both mills before biotreatment impaired the reproductive capacity of minnows (egg production) at concentrations of 10 and 20% vol/vol, but not at 2% vol/vol. Exposure to biotreated effluents from both mills at concentrations of 2, 10, 20, and 40% vol/vol caused no significant differences in overall reproductive capacity of minnows as compared with controls. These results indicate that biotreatment can significantly improve the quality of a BKME and an effluent from a TMP mill with respect to the reproductive capacity of fish as determined in laboratory tests.
