Color Removal from Pulp & Paper Industry Effluents.
Published on by Carlos Quadros in Technology
I am trying to remove the color of the pulp and paper industry effluent.
Our WWTP consists of the primary and secondary treatment (activated sludge) systems.
We introduced a new washing system for the bleaching stage (acid effluent). Since then the final effluent color has significantly turned darker (around 1000 mg Pt/L). Additionally, the final effluent chemical oxygen demand - COD has also increased.
What is the explanation for this significant color and COD increase? How can I remove the color of the effluent?
