The possibility for reducing the chlorinated organic compounds in the bleacheary effluents of the Turkish pulp and paper industry has been studied. Within the experimental work of this study, three different chlorine dioxide substitutions and three different total chlorine application rates were examined and nine experiments were performed. The AOX formation has been shown to be proportional to the amount of molecular chlorine consumed during delignification, regardless of whether it is from chlorine or chlorine dioxide. However, molecular chlorine contributes to AOX formation to a much greater extent. The lowest AOX concentrations were achieved when the total available chlorine dosage was lowest (10 kg/ton) and ClO2 substitution level was highest. An increase in the percentage of chlorine dioxide leads to a substantial reduction in the AOX concentration in the bleachery effluents. A chlorine dioxide substitution of 90%, when the chlorine charge was 40 kg/ton, causes a 77% decrease in the DC-AOX and a 82% decrease in the EO-AOX. However, as the chlorine dioxide substitution reduced to 10%, the decrease in the the AOX concentration became less and only 51% and 41% reductions in DC-AOX and EO-AOX could have been achieved respectively.

TREATMENT OF EFFLUENTS FROM HEMP-BASED PULP AND PAPER-INDUSTRY .1. WASTE CHARACTERIZATION AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL TREATABILITY Dilek, Filiz Bengü (1994-01-01) This study was conducted to determine the wastewater characteristics as well as the treatment alternatives for the Tafkopru Pulp and Paper Mill in Turkey. The physico-chemical treatability study was conducted by standard Jar-test equipment. The highest COD removal efficiency obtained was 96% for the paper machine, 50% for the alkali extraction and 20% for the bleaching effluents by using alum as coagulant. The colour removal efficiency was around 80% for the alkali extraction effluents.

Treatment of softwood bleacbery effluents by Penicillium camemberti in anaerobic jars Taseli, BK; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (2005-01-01) Penicillium camemberti was found to be very effective in treating softwood pulp bleaching effluents and chlorinated model compounds like PCP, 2-chlorophenol and trichloroacetic acid. This paper examines the ability of Penicillium camemberti to degrade softwood pulping and bleaching effluents in anaerobic jars. Softwood chlorinated pulping and bleaching effluents inoculated with Penicillium camemberti (20 ml in 25-ml universal tubes) were incubated under anaerobic conditions (oxoid anaerobic jars) at 25 degr...
Effectiveness of algae in the treatment of a wood-based pulp and paper industry wastewater Tarlan, Esra; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü (2002-04-27) In this study, the ability of algae to treat a wood-based pulp and paper industry wastewater was investigated. Tests were performed in batch reactors seeded with a mixed culture of algae. Under different lighting and initial wastewater strength conditions, changes in COD, AOX and color contents of reactors were followed with time. Algae were found to remove up to 58% of COD, 84% of color and 80% of AOX from pulp and paper industry wastewaters. No remarkable differences were observed in COD and color when li...
Cleaner production opportunity assessment study in SEKA Balikesir pulp and paper mill Avsar, E.; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2008-01-01) This study was designed to apply cleaner production concepts in a Turkish pulp and paper mill, for the first time in Turkey, to introduce the concept as well as to provide a framework for future initiatives. To achieve this objective a comprehensive waste reduction audit was conducted at SEKA Balikesir pulp and paper mill. First, audit schemes from different sources were examined and compiled that resulted in the methodology employed in this work. The audit covered water emissions and water usage. Then, the...
