Biotreatment of cheese-processing wastewater by cultivating mushroom mycelia

摘要

Disclosed herein is a biological method for aerobically treating whey using mushroom mycelia wherein the whey can be biologically treated at a disposal rate comparable to conventional methods. According to the method, since environmentally unfriendly sludge is not discharged, post-treatment operations in connection with the disposal of sludge can be simplified. Therefore, the method can lower environmental costs and further enables the economical cultivation of mushroom mycelia. Furthermore, the method has an advantage in terms of resource recycling.
