Abstracts
Anaerobic treatment of wastewater from chemico-thermomechanical
pulping (CTMP) of softwoods was inhibited by sulphur containing compounds.
Distillery skips are characterized by a high sulphur content and a more appropriate
COD/sulphur ratio than CTMP wastewater. Using CTMP wastewater together with
distiliery stops during initial starting up resulted in successful acclimatation
of microorganisms to significant sulphate contents.
Provided the COD/Sulphur was aboue 10 reasonably good treatment efficiency
was obtained with CTMP wastewater containing to 500 mg total sulphur per liter.
Keywords
CTMP, wastewater, anaerobic treatment, suiphur compounds, fixed biomass reactor.
