Optimization and modelling of physicochemical and solid flux parameters for paper and pulp mill effluent treatment using asp including microbial analysis

Abstract

The pulp and paper industry in continually challenged by the public and by regulatory agencies to address a variety of environmental issues related to effluent discharges white the treatment efficiency remaining economically viable by limiting unnecessary expenditure Correct selection of waste treatment technology and optimization of technological parameters play an important role in water resource protection against pollutant discharge from point sources in the system This study explores the feasibility of using predominant microorganism present in the paper and pulp will wastewater sampled for the study for its treatment To achieve this goal process parameters were optimized through model development for the entire effluent treatment plant ETP
