Abstract:Large amounts of effluents are generated in pulp and paper mills. In general, these effluents present temperatures above 40 ºC, which may preclude biological treatment in mesophilic conditions (35 ºC). For this, the present work aimed to produce aerobic granules in mesophilic conditions and, after their stability, leads them to thermophilic conditions. After the thermophilic granules were obtained, analyzes of their maintenance, treatment efficiency and verification of the production of the extracellular polym… Show more
