Open publisher page 21 citations

Abstract

The present study reports on the treatment of pulp and paper mill effluent by Phanerochaete chlysosporium and the same has been compared at two different pH, 5.5 and 8.5. At both the pH, colour, COD, lignin content and total phenols of the effluent significantly declined after bioremediation. However, greater decolourisation and reduction in COD, lignin content and total phenols were observed at pH 5.5. Such bioremediated effluent of pulp and paper mill could gainfully be utilized for crop irrigation.
