Industrial effluents

Paper industry

The paper-making process is one of the most water-intensive industrial production processes. This is because, without the physical properties of water, it would not be possible for a consistent structure to be achieved when the constituents of paper are processed in sludge. A high level of water consumption is inevitable in the processing of natural raw materials (wood, cellulose, vegetable fibers) and also in the process of recycling waste paper. This creates a high level of waste water for processing. The residues in the waste water are a problem particularly in the case of de-inking: the process of recycling printed waste paper.
