“…The costs of such extraction and purification often prohibits the use of (Marwaha et al 1998;Taseli and Gökçay 1999;Wesenberg et al 2003;Wu et al 2005;Malaviya and Rathore 2007). Given the relatively low number of studies in this area, further work of this type seems warranted.…”

“…It is widely reported that high molecular weight (HMW > 1 kDa) organic matter in bleaching effluents is more recalcitrant to biological treatment than low molecular weight (LMW < 1 kDa) organic matter (Dahlman et al 1995;Savant et al 2006). Dissolved lignin and its degradation products, hemicelluloses, resin acids, fatty acids, diterpene alcohols, juvaniones, tannins, and phenols (Pokhrel and Viraraghavan 2004) are responsible for the dark color and toxicity of the effluent (Malaviya and Rathore 2007;Chopra and Singh 2012).…”

“…As noted by Fernandez-Fernandez et al (2013), immobilization of enzymes can improve their storage stability and prolong their effectiveness during wastewater treatment. On the other hand, it is also possible to immobilize the fungal organisms on a suitable support and generate the needed enzymes in-situ (Marwaha et al 1998;Taseli and Gökçay 1999;Wesenberg et al 2003;Wu et al 2005;Malaviya and Rathore 2007). Given the relatively low number of studies in this area, further work of this type seems warranted.…”

“…The consortia of bacteria present in a properly operating wastewater treatment plant may be accompanied by protozoa, fungi, and rotifers (Chakrabarti et al 2008). Such a combination can be expected to allow the system to deal effectively with a wide variety of pollutants, which are likely to shift from hour to hour.Various authors have found favorable effects when using white-rot fungal species to treat pulp mill wastewater and bleach plant effluents (Eriksson and Kolar 1985;Pellinen and Joyce 1990; Duran et al 1994;Gökçay and Dilek 1994;Wolfaardt 1994;Marwaha et al 1998;Saxena and Gupta 1998;Taseli and Gökçay 1999;Sakurai et al 2001;Pokhrel and Viraraghavan 2004;Thakur 2004;Wu et al 2005;Malaviya and Rathore 2007;Freitas et al 2009;Singhal and Thakur 2009;Garg and Tripathi 2011;Kakahi et al 2011;Liu et al 2011;Souza et al 2014;Hossain and Ismail 2015;Kamali and Khodaparast 2015). Eriksson and Kolar (1985) observed much more favorable effects from the addition of a white-rot fungal strain, in comparison to two bacterial mixtures; the fungus promoted more rapid degradation of chlorolignins.…”

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 ...

“…The COD reduction has also been indicated with other two fungal species namely Rhizopus oryzae and Phanerochaete chrysosporium with the reduction efficiency of 81-82 %, as reported by Frietas et al [41]. Malaviya and Rathore [42] have also studied the applicability of Fusarium sambucinum to carry out biodegradation method and indicated the reduction efficiency of 89.4 % for COD, 78.6 % for colour and 79 % for lignin. Nearly about 74-81 % COD reduction of waste effluent of Kraft pulp mill has been reported by Frietas et al [41] in his experiment.…”
