“…Nevertheless, ozonation has successfully been used as a good method to oxidize chemicals present in wastewaters from pulp and paper mills, such as eugenol, cathecol, vainillin, guaiacol, syringaldehyde, phenol, chlorophenol, trichlorophenol, and cinnamic acid derivatives (Amat et al 1999;Amat et al 2005b;Fontanier et al 2005a;Miranda et al 2001). Particularly, Fontanier et al (2005) reported the behavior of most of these organics in response to ozone treatment and described how the oxidation of phenol, chlorophenol and trichlorophenol takes place in one stage attributable to aromatic ring opening reactions; whether catechol, vanillin, guaiacol and syringaldehyde are oxidized in two stages due to the generation of intermediates that are more resistant to ozone attack.…”

“…On the other hand, the carboxylic acids that are formed by opening the aromatic ring have expectedly been reported to be very resistant to oxidation by ozone (Amat et al 2003;Amat et al 2005b;Bailey 1982;Balcioglu et al 2007;Fontanier et al 2005a;Hoigne and Bader 1983;Kreetachat et al 2007), and they are usually responsible for TOC abatement limitation (Hoigne and Bader 1983); although they are generally highly biodegradable.…”

“…In addition, the ozone oxidation of resin acids has also been addressed relatively effective Laari et al 2000;Ledakowicz et al 2006;Roy-Arcand and Archibald 1996); whereas starch oxidation products showed lower degradation rates than lignin derivatives ones, probably due to the absence of carboncarbon double bonds (Amat et al 2005b;Langlais et al 1991) (Figure 1). Furthermore, why p-toluenesulfonic acid showed a slower degradation rate than other lignin derivatives was explained by the strong deactivating effect of its sulfonic group (Amat et al 2004).…”

“…Particularly, the success of ozonation applied to real wastewater from pulp and paper mills, whether biologically pre-treated or not, and effluents from bleaching stages, has been mainly attributed to the effective degradation of toxic lignin products and chlorophenolic compounds (Amat et al 2005b;Balcioglu et al 2007;Bierbaum et al 2012;Bijan and Mohseni 2004;Bijan and Mohseni 2005;Catalkaya and Kargi 2007;Fontanier et al 2005b;Fontanier et al 2006;Mansilla et al 1997;Oeller et al 1997;Rodríguez et al 1998;Roy-Arcand and Archibald 1996;Salokannel et al 2007;Sevimli 2005;Wang et al 2004;Yeber et al 1999a;Yeber et al 1999b). As it has additionally been reported in several other essays, ozonation usually increases the biodegradability of paper mill effluents as well (Amat et al 2005a;Balcioglu et al 2007;Bijan and Mohseni 2004;Bijan and Mohseni 2005;Fontanier et al 2006;Helble et al 1999;Mansilla et al 1997;Nakamura et al 1997;Oeller et al 1997;Roy-Arcand and Archibald 1996;Salokannel et al 2007); mainly because of the successful degradation of certain toxic compounds and the promoted changes in molecular weight fractions from HMW to LMW (Amat et al 2005a;Balcioglu et al 2007;Bauman and Lutz 1974;Fontanier et al 2006;Hostachy et al 1997;Mansilla et al 1997).…”

“…Regarding the conditions under which ozonation was performed, several authors have reported that ozone resulted more effective in basic media (Amat et al 2004;Amat et al 2005b;Bijan and Mohseni 2005;Sevimli 2005;Wang et al 2004), just as it was expected due to the more effective generation of hydroxyl radicals, which is a better oxidizing agent than molecular ozone (Bijan and Mohseni 2005;Glaze et al 1987); although working under basic conditions also implies bearing with the presence of possible scavengers like carbonate or bicarbonate (Barndõk et al 2012;Bijan and Mohseni 2005). Putting it all together, no significant different treatment effectiveness was found between pH = 9 and 11 (Bijan and Mohseni 2005), but a significant lower treatment efficiency was addressed when pH was adjusted to neutral (Wang et al 2004).…”

Paper industry is adopting zero liquid effluent technologies to reduce fresh water use and meet environmental regulations, which implies water circuits closure and the progressive accumulation of pollutants that must be removed before water re-use and final wastewater discharge. The traditional water treatment technologies that are used in paper mills (such as dissolve air flotation or biological treatment) are not able to remove recalcitrant contaminants. Therefore, advanced water treatment technologies, such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), are being included in industrial wastewater treatment chains aiming to either improve water biodegradability or its final quality. A deep review of the current state of the art regarding the use of AOPs for the treatment of the organic load of effluents from the paper industry is herein addressed considering mature and emerging treatments for a sustainable water use in this sector. Wastewater composition, which is highly dependent of the raw materials being used in the mills, the selected AOP itself, and its combination with other technologies, will determine the viability of the treatment. In general, all AOPs have been reported to achieve good organics removal efficiencies (COD removal >40%; and about an extra 20% if AOPs are combined with biological stages). Particularly, ozonation has been the most extensively reported and successfully implemented AOP at an industrial scale for effluent treatment or reuse within pulp and paper mills; although Fenton processes (photo-Fenton particularly) have actually addressed better oxidative results (COD removal ≈65-75%) at lab scale, but still need further development at large scale.

This investigation is aimed to reduce the pollution and ecotoxicological impact of the paper and pulp industry effluent by Rhodococcus sp. NCIM 2891. It was observed that the Rhodococcus sp. NCIM 2891, when grown in the presence of the effluent, there was a significant decrease in levels of biological oxygen demand (81.25%) 30 mg/L and chemical oxygen demand (53.23%) 363 mg/L as compared to untreated samples with 160 and 776 mg/L, respectively. Reduction in total dissolved solids could be observed (81%) along with reduction in heavy metal concentration. Further analysis of the degraded effluent compounds was carried out by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The eco-compatibility of the effluent and degraded product was checked in terms of their toxicity on Allium cepa, Acantopsis choirorhynchus, and different microorganisms. The degraded products obtained after biodegradation are found to be eco-compatible and non-toxic.Abbreviations: BOD, biological oxygen demand; COD, chemical oxygen demand; DNPH, 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine; FW, fresh weight; MDA, malondialdehyde; NBT, nitro blue tetrazolium; ROS, reactive oxygen species; RRG, relative root growth; SOD, super oxide dismutase 456

The potential hazards associated with industrial effluents, coupled with increasing awareness of environment problems, have prompted many countries to limit the indiscriminate discharge of untreated wastewaters. The pulp and paper industry has been among the most significant of industrial polluters of the waterways, and therefore has been one of the industries of concern. The pulp and paper industry produces large quantities of brown/black effluent that primarily result from pulping, bleaching, and paper-making production stages. The dark color and toxicity of pulp-paper mill effluent comes primarily from lignin and its chlorinated derivatives (e.g., lignosulphonic acid, resins, phenols, and hydrocarbons) that are released during various processing steps of lignocellulosic materials. The color originates from pulping and pulp bleaching stages, while adsorbable organic halides (AOX) originates exclusively from chlorine bleaching. Discharge of untreated effluent results in increased BOD/COD, slime growth, thermal problems, scum formation, discoloration, loss of aesthetic quality and toxicity to the aquatic life, in the receiving waterbodies. The dark brow color of pulp-paper effluent is not only responsible for aesthetic unacceptability, but also prevents the passage of sunlight through colored waterbodies. This reduces the photosynthetic activity of aquatic flora, ultimately causing depletion of dissolved oxygen. The pulp-paper organic waste, coupled with the presence of chlorine, results in the generation of highly chlorinated organic compounds. These toxic constituents of wastewater pose a human health risk through long term exposure. via drinking water and\or through consumption of fish that can bioaccumulate certain pollutants from the food chain. Therefore, considerable attention has been focused by many countries on decolorization of paper mill effluents , along with reduction in the contaminants that pose human health or other environmental hazards. Various physicochemical remediation treatments in the pulp-paper industry are now used, or have been suggested, but often are not implemented, because of the high cost involved. More recently, the paper and pulp industry has been investigating the use of biological remediation steps to replace or augment current treatment strategies. Certain biological treatments offer opportunities to reduce cost (both capital and operating), reduce energy consumption, and minimize environmental impact. Two primary approaches may be effective to curtail release of toxic effluents: first, development of pulping and bleaching processes that emphasize improved oxygen delignification or biopulping, plus partial or complete replacement of chlorine treatment with hydrogen peroxide or with biobleaching; second, implementation of biological processing that involves sequential two-step anaerobic-aerobic or three-step aerobic-anaerobic treatment technologies at end of pipe. The selection of the specific process will depend upon the type of pollutants/toxicants/mutagens present in the eff...
