The feasibility of integrating biological hydrogen and methane production in a two-stage process using mixed cultures cheese whey powder (CWP) as substrate was studied. effect operational parameters such hydraulic retention time (HRT) organic loading rate (OLR) on the volumetric (VHPR) (VMPR) rates assessed. highest VHPR 28 L H2/L/d, obtained during stable operation CSTR at HRT OLR 6 h 142 g lactose/L/d, respectively. Moreover, (13 L/L/d) produced even low 3.5 163 nonetheless, reactor not...
Butanol is considered a superior liquid fuel that can replace gasoline in internal combustion engines. It produced by acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation using various species of solventogenic clostridia. Performance ABE process severely limited mostly high cost substrate, substrate inhibition and low solvent tolerance; leading to product concentrations, productivity, yield, difficulty controlling culture metabolism. In order decrease the per exploit waste generated dairy industry,...
Vinasses are the main byproducts of ethanol distillation and distilled beverages worldwide generated in substantial volumes. Tequila vinasses (TVs) could be used as a feedstock for biohydrogen production through dark fermentative (DF) process due to their high content organic matter. However, TV components have not been previously assayed order evaluate if they may ferment. This work aimed identify quantify volatile compounds (VC) determine VC profile depends upon type (whether stems were...
The goal of this research is to find a more effective treatment for tequila vinasses (TVs) with potential industrial application in order comply the Mexican environmental regulations. TVs are characterized by their high content solids, values biochemical oxygen demand (BODs), chemical (COD), low pH and intense colour; thus, disposal untreated severely impacts environment. Physicochemical biological treatments, combination both, were probed on remediation TVs. use alginate physicochemical...
Agave tequilana Weber is used in tequila and fructans production, with agave bagasse generated as a solid waste. The main use of to produce compost factories long traditional composting that lasts 6-8 months. aim this study was evaluate the degradation by combining pretreatment fungi vermicomposting. Experiments were carried out fractionated or whole bagasse, sterilized not, subjecting it Bjerkandera adusta alone combined native fungi, only (non-sterilized), for 45 days. This followed...
Tequila vinasses represent an acidic, highly concentrated pollutant effluent generated during the distillation step of production. Although acidogenesis has been reported for some reactor configurations, a characterization bacteria present this metabolic process is lacking in literature. Hydraulic retention times (HRT) between 36 and 6 h organic loading rates (OLR) from 5 to 30 g COD L−1 d−1 were assessed UASB fed with vinasses. Results showed that OLR excerted stronger effect (p ≤ 0.0001)...
Los estudios relacionados con los cambios progresivos en la cobertura vegetal y de uso suelo, han cobrado importancia investigación ambiental, ya que permitido evaluar las tendencias espacio-temporales procesos como deforestación degradación provocadas por actividades humanas. En este contexto, el objetivo estudio fue impacto antropogénicas cuenca del río Tecolutla, Veracruz, México; un periodo 16 años. Se utilizaron imágenes satélite Landsat para años 1994 2010, distinguiéndose nueve usos...

The application of organic waste products, such as vinasses to the soil is a common practice in different countries.Vinasses are residual liquid generated during various processes ethanol production and beverages distillation.However, little known about how affect content species distribution arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) soils irrigated with vinasses.The aim this research was determine presence, spore density taxonomic identification AMF assess (VS) unirrigated (CS).Sixteen were...
