“…The main fraction of recalcitrant COD is due to the lignin compound. Also, resinic acids are not biodegradable by anaerobic bacteria (Sierra-Alvarez and Lettinga, 1990;Sierra-Alvarez et al, 2004). Fig.…”

“…Therefore, this type of wastewater often exerts inhibitory effects on microorganisms, and can disturb anaerobic treatment systems Parker et al, 1992;Sierra-Alvarez et al, 1994). Common toxic organic substances in wood-processing industrial wastewater include: resin compounds (McCarthy et al, 1990; Sierra-Alvarez and Lettinga, 1990), chlorinated phenolics and tannins (Field et al, 1988). The crude resin collected from pine trees causes a 50% inhibition of methanogenic activity at around 50 mg/l.…”

“…Depending on the tannin structure, the 50% IC (inhibiting concentration) of the methanogenic activity can be between 0.4 and 3.0 g/l (Sierra-Alvarez et al, 1994). Also, Sierra-Alvarez and Lettinga (1990) demonstrated that methanogenic toxicity was only evident in the low MW lignin fraction.…”

“…There are numerous reports in the literature showing the toxicity of these compounds on anaerobic digestion processes (Pearson et al, 1980;Sleat and Robinson, 1984;Fedorak and Hrudey, 1984;Sierra-Alvarez and Lettinga, 1990;Britz et al, 1992;Garcı´a et al, 1997). In addition, the high salinity of this waste (average conductivity of 40 mS/cm) can also cause osmotic pressure problems to the microorganisms responsible for the anaerobic process (Basu, 1975).…”

Wood processing industry wastewater is a high strength wastewater, not amenable to conventional biological treatment. In this study, this wastewater was chemically treated using Fenton's reagent. Based on a number of preliminary experiments, a factorial experimental procedure was designed to examine the influence of a number of parameters on the oxidation efficiency, in terms of % COD removal. These parameters were: dilution of wastewater, heptahydrated ferrous sulphate concentration, hydrogen peroxide (30%) concentration and sulphuric acid (98%) concentration. The Fenton oxidation process was very effective, because in all cases the percent COD removal efficiency was in excess of 70%. Based on the achieved results, the optimum experimental conditions regarding oxidation effectiveness parameters were estimated. The optimum experimental conditions for the oxidation of wood processing industry wastewater were found to be the following: wastewater dilution 70%, FeSO 4 и 7H 2 O concentration 5.5 g/L, H 2 O 2 concentration 0.95 mL/L. These values allowed achieving the highest COD removal in the experiments, namely 88% of the initial content. Conclusively, Fenton oxidation could be a feasible method for the treatment of wood processing industry wastewater.
