Wastewater and
Sludge from Pulp
and Paper
Industries
Some soluble organic material and
various potentially inhibiting
organic substances, i.e. bleaches
(peroxides), chlorinated
compounds, sulfur compounds
(sulfate, sulfite, etc.) tannins,
terpenes, and LCFA
Pulp and paper industry
Mesophilic
Meyer and Edwards (2014),
Kamali et al. (2016), Zhang
et al. (2016)
Stillage
Rich in protein, also releases
furfurals, small phenolic
compounds
Ethanol production,
untreated waste, wheat,
and other crops or
cellulose-rich residues
Mesophilic
Torry-Smith et al. (2003),
Jönsson and Martín (2016)
Wood products
High carbon content and releases
phenolic compounds
Untreated spruce and
pine, Salix and poplar
Thermophilic
