Bleach Plant Effluents from the Pulp and Paper Industry [Paperback]

This book covers bleach plant effluents, that most polluting effluent from the pulp and paper industry. Disappearance of benthic invertebrates, a high incidence of fish diseases, and mutagenic effects on the aquatic fauna are some of the consequences of the disposal of bleach effluents into surface waters.?This book?describes environmental impact of bleach plant effluents, environmental regulations, and measures to reduce the? pollution load by internal process modification and external treatment of bleach plant effluents.1.Background1.1 Pollution problems of pulp and paper industry2.Pulp and Paper making process2.1 Pulp making Process2.2 Stock preparation and paper making process3.Pulp Bleaching and Bleaching effluents3.1 Pulp Bleaching3.2 Bleaching effluents4.Environmental effects of bleach plant effluents4.1 Environmental Fate and effects4.2 Environmental issues4.3 Environmental regulations5.
