Abstract
One of the principal problems facing the pulp and paper industry is th e discharge of chlorinated organics into the environment. The fate of chlorinated organics produced during pulp bleaching with chlorine-base d compounds in waste-water treatment systems is critically examined. A erobic and anaerobic processes are capable of removing chlorinated org anics to varying degrees of efficiency. However, the mechanism by whic h this removal occurs has not been identified precisely.
