Abstract
The authors characterized effluents of two newsprint mills to establis h the variability and relative contribution of process elements on BOD 5 and toxicity to trout. They investigated the potential application o f activated sludge treatment for total mill and selected effluents dur ing 15 month study with F/M ranging from 0.09 to 0.66 for one mill and from 0.2 to 1.33 for the other. They also examined the effects of hyd raulic residence time and sludge age on BOD5 reduction and toxicity re moval.
