| Abstract: | Effluents
from the pulp and paper industry contain chromophoric compounds and can be
partly mutagenic and inhibitory to aquatic biosystems. The presence of various
pollutants produced during pulp and paper manufacturing necessitates the need
for waste water pretreatment prior to discharge. Of all the methods investigated,
bioremediation specifically holds promise in solving environmental problems in
a cost-effective way. White-rot fungi have ability to process a variety of
pollutants efficiently, however, development of suitable cultivation procedures
has delayed industrial application. These and other issues affecting
bioremediation of industrial wastewater, with special reference to application
thereof in the pulp and paper industry, are reviewed in this paper. |
