Abstract:
A combined biological process was investigated for effective textile wastewater treatment. The process
consisted of a first step performed by selected fungal biomasses, mainly devoted to the effluent decolourisation,
and of a subsequent stage by means of activated sludge, in order to reduce the remaining COD
and toxicity. In particular, the treatment with Trametes pubescens MUT 2400, selected over nine strains,
achieved very good results in respect to all parameters. The final scale-up phase in a moving bed bioreactor
with the supported biomass of the fungus allowed to verify the effectiveness of the treatment with
high volumes. Despite promising results, further steps must be taken in order to optimize the use of these
biomasses for a full exploitation of their oxidative potential in textile wastewater treatment.
