摘要:As alcoholic distillery wastewater, brown-sugar shochu wastewater (BSW) contains high concentrations of brown pigments which are hardly decolorized by general biological wastewater treatment. Penicillium oxalicum d, which was newly isolated in the present study, decolorizes 47% of the color from BSW without the addition of any nutrients. The mycelia of P. oxalicum d were stained dark brown when treated of BSW. Therefore, the decolorization mechanism is related to adsorption. Treatment by P. oxalicum d reduced the time for decolorization by ozone by half. Treatment consisting of a combination of P. oxalicum d decolorization, physical decolorization by ozone, and biological wastewater treatment by activated sludge would be effective in treating MDW.
