Application of the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium in biotreatment of bagasse effluent

Biotreatment of bagasse effluent using Phanerochaete chrysosporium (white rot fungus) is investigated. This study confirmed that lignin is the major pollutant component in this effluent followed by different carbohydrates. The treatment conditions must be very proper, especially in terms of biomass...

Description
Summary:Biotreatment of bagasse effluent using Phanerochaete chrysosporium (white rot fungus) is investigated. This study confirmed that lignin is the major pollutant component in this effluent followed by different carbohydrates. The treatment conditions must be very proper, especially in terms of biomass culture to achieve a successful treatment. The best conditions of temperature, biomass concentration, pH and duration for biotreatment of this effluent were 35°C, 552 mg l −1 , 6 and 5 to 9 days, respectively. Under these conditions, a 9 days long treatment reduced by 98.7% the original biochemical oxygen demand (of 2,780 mg l −1 ) and by 98.5% the dissolved chemical oxygen demand (initial 4,200 mg l −1 ). Moreover, fungal treatment reduced total dissolved solids from 3,950 to 575 mg l −1 and color from 560 mg l −1 PtCo to 111 mg l −1 PtCo.
