Abstract [en]

Fiberbanks refer to a type of fibrous sediment originated by the forestry and wood pulping industry in Sweden. These anthropogenic sediments are significantly contaminated with potentially toxic elements, and a diverse array of organic pollutants. Additionally, these sediments are of environmental concern due to their potential role in greenhouse gas emissions. Given the environmental risks posed by these sediments, the development of effective remediation strategies is of critical importance. However, no specialized methods have been established yet for the cleanup of this specific type of contaminated sediments. To identify effective fungal species for the mycoremediation of the fiberbank substrate, we performed a detailed screening experiment. In this research, we primarily aimed at assessing both the growth capacity and the proficiency in degrading organic pollutants of 26 native white-rot fungi (WRF) species. These species were sourced from natural forest environments in northern Sweden. The experimental setup involved evaluating the WRF on plates containing fiberbank material with a central Hagem-agar disc to closely monitor the interaction of these species with fiberbank substrates. Among the fungi tested, Laetiporus sulphureus exhibited the highest growth area percentage at 72%, followed by Hymenochaete tabacina at 68% and Diplomitoporus crustulinus at 67%. For the removal of 2–3 ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), Phellinus punctatus led with 68%, with Cystostereum muraii at 57% and Diplomitoporus crustulinus at 49%. Regarding the removal percentage of 4–6 ring PAHs, Diplomitoporus crustulinus showed the highest efficiency at 44%, followed by Phlebia tremellosa at 40% and Phlebiopsis gigantea at 28%.

Abstract [en]

Lignocellulose-bearing sediments are legacies of the previously unregulated wastewater discharge from the pulp and paper industry, causing large quantities of toxic organic waste on the Baltic Sea floor and on the bottom of rivers and lakes. Several km2 are covered with deposits of lignocellulosic residues, typically heavily contaminated with complex mixtures of organic and inorganic pollutants, posing a serious threat to human and ecological health. The high toxicity and the large volume of the polluted material are challenges for remediation endeavours. The lignocellulosic material is also a considerable bioresource with a high energy density, and due to its quantity, it could appeal to commercialization as feedstock for various marketable goods. This study sets out to explore the potential of using this polluted material as a resource for industrial production at the same time as it is detoxified. Information about modern production methods for lignocellulosic material that can be adapted to a polluted feedstock is reviewed. Biochemical methods such as composting, anaerobic digestion, as well as, thermochemical methods, for instance, HTC, HTL, pyrolysis, gasification and torrefaction have been assessed. Potential products from lignocellulose-bearing sediment material include biochar, liquid and gaseous biofuels, growing substrate. The use of a contaminated feedstock may make the process more expensive, but the suggested methods should be seen as an alternative to remediation methods that only involve costs. Several experiments were highlighted that support the conception that combined remediation and generation of marketable goods may be an appropriate way to address polluted lignocellulose-bearing sediments.
