The objective of the present study is the treatment of pistachio processing industry wastewaters (PPIW) using the supercritical water oxidation method. The experiments were conducted within a 400-600°C temperature range and a 30-150 s reaction time range, while maintaining a constant pressure of 25 MPa and using an O/COD ratio of 1:1. To observe the effects of the initial PPIW and O concentrations on the treatment efficiency, experiments were also conducted with O/COD ratios ranging from 0.5 to 3, while maintaining a constant reaction temperature and time of 500°C and 60 s, respectively. The influence of reaction temperature, reaction time and O/COD ratio on the total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) contents of the liquid PPIW effluents were investigated. Treatment efficiencies up to 99.75% regarding TOC conversion and 78.72% regarding TN conversion were obtained in very short reaction times. Additionally, the kinetics of oxidation of PPIW was studied, and reaction rate expressions based on TOC and TN were proposed.

Pistachio green hull (PGH) represents the non-edible fraction obtained after the seed is harvested and is an important source of phenolic compounds. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a viable biotechnological and economical technique for extracting phenolic compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the SSF with GH1 to recover total phenolic compounds (TPC) with antioxidant capacity (AC) from PGH.
