A modified laboratory-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor was used to obtain methane by treating hydrous ethanol vinasse. Vinasses or stillage are waste materials with high organic loads, and a complex composition resulting from the process of alcohol distillation. They must initially be treated processes due their loads. can considered multipurpose for energy recovery once they in agriculture without risk polluting soil, underground water crops. In this sense, treatment...
During hydrous ethanol production from the sugar refinery industry in Mexico, vinasse is generated. Phenolic compounds and melanoidins contribute to its color make degradation of a difficult task. Although anaerobic digestion (AD) feasible for treatment, presence recalcitrant can be toxic or inhibitory microorganism. Therefore, this study presents new data on coupled FBR (Fluidized Bed Bioreactor) UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactor under non-sterile conditions by T. versicolor....
In an anaerobic digestion (AD) process, the hydrolysis phase is often limited when substrates with high concentrations of solids are used. We hypothesized that applying micro-aeration in and application granular activated carbon (GAC) methanogenesis could make AD process more efficient. A packed bed reactor (PBR) coupled up-flow sludge blanket (UASB) was conducted, its effects on methane generation were evaluated. The rate applied PBR 254 L-air/kg-Total (TS)-d compared a control reactor....
Craft breweries release wastewater into the environment, posing serious environmental concerns. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are an attractive technology that has been used in industrial treatment. This study a scalable system of nine MFCs (stacked) to treat 150 L craft brewery (CBW). The CBW had 1831 ± 85 mg COD (chemical oxygen demand) L−1. hydraulic retention time was 5 days, with removal percentage 93 1.8%. total internal resistance stack 204.8 5.2 Ω at 26 2 °C without use metal catalyst;...
Vinasse is wastewater generated during ethanol production, with a high content of organic matter, and the presence toxic recalcitrant compounds that give it dark brown color. Anaerobic digestion vinasse low-cost method treatment produces useful byproducts such as biogas. However, at anaerobic vinasse, part which includes melanoidins phenolic cannot be eliminated producing named biomethanated (BV). It has been reported fungi produce ligninolytic enzymes can degrade in raw vinasses but there...
Recently, metagenomic DNA based analysis gained importance in fields such as environmental sciences and bioenergy, where mixed microbial communities embedded complex matrixes, play a crucial role. Therefore, financially economical, high quality extraction protocols are needed. In this work, rapid inexpensive method for from variety of samples was performed; the average yield 71.65 ng µL−1, with an purity 1.68 (A260/A280). The cost per sample about 76 % less comparison commercial kits time...
