Decolorization and Detoxification of Bleached Kraft Effluents

  • Chapter
Biotechnology for Environmental Protection in the Pulp and Paper Industry

Abstract

The pulp and paper industry ranks third in terms of water consumption and fifth among the major industries in its contribution to water pollution problems in the USA. Pulping, bleaching, and paper-making operations are the three major wastewater sources of the industry.
