Abstract:An Aspergillus niger van Tieghem strain was used to treat olive mill wastewater (OMW) in an investigation aimed at exploring their dephenolization and discoloration ability and, consequently, the feasibility of using this strains in a pretreatment step in the processing of OMW. The results show that a peak COD reduction of 76% was reached at 28˚C after 8 days with the following conditions: 4.57 initial pH, 0.5 g/l inoculums size, 3.4 g/l (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , 1.2 g/l KH 2 PO 4, and 2.0 g/l NaCl. We conclude that A.… Show more
