Abstract

Dairy industry effluents were usually characterized by their high organic matter content. Cheese whey is the most wide studied dairy reject. Though, the high polluting dairy wastewater including product losses and process effluents are also problematic and they need to be treated separately. Despite the quite efficiency of physico-chemical processes, polluting load removal is typically insufficient and the treatment should be completed by a biological process. Lactose bioconversion to single cell proteins; lactic acid; citric acid; biopolymer, bioethanol or even hydrogen seem to be promoting alternatives, not only for the treatment but also for the recovery of valuable products. Anaerobic digestion using dark and/or photofermentation and microbial fuel cells exhibited several advantageous comparing to the conventional dairy wastewater processing pathways. Then, the microbial material role for the bioconversion is crucial and it should be done according to the treatment purposes. Saccharomyces, Klyveromyces and Candida strains are widely used for dairy wastewaters polluting load removal. Lactic acid bacteria are used for their biotechnological proprieties. Some mixed cultures proved to result in more efficient treatment results with valuable products.
