Abstract:With the increase in pulp production, the environmental pollution caused by the discharge of pulp and paper mill wastewater has becoming increasingly severe, presenting the paper industry with multiple challenges, including the removal of refractory pollutants, energy consumption control, and resource utilization. This paper first reviewd the sources and characteristics of pollutants in pulp and paper mill wastewater, as well as treatment technologies. Combined with a bibliometric analysis, it was further pointed out that the research focuing in this field was gradually shifting from conventional physicochemical methods toward greener, more efficient, and energy-saving bioaugmentation technologies. Subsequently, the paper summarized the potential functional microorganisms in aerobic activated sludge systems (such as white-rot fungi, Zoogloea, and dehalogenating bacteria), and discussed the application prospects and research progress of microbially enhanced degradation in the anaerobic treatment of pulp and paper mill wastewater. Finally, the paper presented a perspective on the future development direction of active stabilized bioaugmentation technologies based on microecological regulation and engineering, aiming to provide a reference for the practical application of efficient and low-consumption pulp and paper mill wastewater treatment technologies.
