Ligninolytic Enzymes for Application in Treatment of Effluent from Pulp and Paper Industries
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The growing concern over the pollution caused by the rapid industrialization has posed a serious problem forcing researchers around the world to seek alternative eco-friendly technologies. The situation has been met with suitable regulatory steps in the developed western countries where public awareness coupled with stringent government regulations have stimulated the paper and pulp industry to take on newer and greener technologies but the problem remains the same in the developing parts of the world. Despite the impact of the industry on the environment, the world of pulp and paper industry continues to expand at alarming rates and more and more paper mills are booming up in the newly industrialised countries. Available industrial waste treatment processes are expensive and pose a major threat to the environment. Therefore to meet the demand of paper at the same time reduce the hazardous impact of industrial effluent on environment, the search for a sustainable and inexpensive biological intervention is indispensable. The present review therefore aims to bring out a comprehensive analysis of available biological agents which can be employed for effluent treatment from various industries like pulp and paper industry and dye industries.
