Advanced Oxidation Technology for Pulp Mill Effluent

The composition of effluent from various pulping processes can exhibit a wide range of physical and chemical parameters. The dissolved solids consist of the chemicals derived from the wood material plus the chemicals added to the specific pulping process. No one technology can adequately treat these effluent streams, rather a combination of treatment methods is often required. Advanced oxidation is one technology which has application to bleached Kraft pulp effluent, principally for color reduction
