The great amount of pollutants released from kraft pulp processes, mainly from cooking and bleaching stages, is one of the most relevant environmental problems in this type of industry. New bleaching sequences are being studied based on the use of oxidative enzymes from fungal cultures. In this study, the bleaching systems consisting of Laccase and different mediators such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, violuric acid, syringaldehyde and methyl syringate in the bleaching sequence of Eucalyptus globulus kraft pulp were applied. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability and toxicity to Vibrium fischeri of generated L-stage and total bleaching sequence effluents. The highest levels of aerobic and anaerobic degradation of the generated effluents were achieved for treatments with laccase plus violuric acid, with 80% of aerobic degradation and 68% of anaerobic biodegradation. V. fischeri toxicity was remarkably reduced for all the effluents after aerobic degradation.
