The processing of wastewater generated in the agro-industrial sector has two main objectives: to mitigate harmful effects on the environment and to produce value-added by-products, converging on the concept of biorefinery. In the present research project, a system of continuous feed reactors is proposed for the anaerobic digestion of sugarcane vinasse in two stages, on a bench scale. The …
Conventional wastewater treatment is insufficient to protect our water bodies from so-called micropollutants (or emerging contaminants), which have adverse effects such as reducing the diversity of bacteria and algae in running waters, modifications in the behavior and morphology of aquatic biota and interference with the hormonal system of wildlife and humans. In addition, due to less re…
The combined process of partial nitrification (PN) and anaerobic ammonia oxidation (ANAMMOX) (PN/AMX) presents itself as a promising technology for the removal of nitrogen from wastewater. The PN/AMX system combines environmental and economic advantages by generating less waste (sludge), reducing energy costs (aeration) and dispensing external supplementation of organic matter, when compa…
The correct management of sugarcane vinasse in the sugar-alcohol agroindustry is a fundamental step towards the recovery of resources (water, energy, and nutrients) and the mitigation of environmental impacts. Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a treatment system widely recognized for its efficiency in removing organic compounds and for its potential to produce biogas, especially methane. The op…
Wastewater treatment systems that use anaerobic processes are promising for the removal of organic pollutant load from vinasse, associated with the biogas production, which has aroused interest in several sectors of society. The scientific interest points to improvement of the degradation process of this effluent, by interpretation of the associated metabolic pathways, allowing the implem…
The oil and gas produced water is one of the main environmental liabilities of the oil industry. This wastewater is characterized by low organic matter content, high salinity and the presence of aromatics organic compounds, ammonium (NH4-N) and sulfate (SO42-). Anaerobic digestion process allows the combined removal of the organic matter and aromatic compounds and reduces SO42-to hydrogen…

The presence of high sulfate concentrations in organic matrices comprises one of the main bottlenecks in performing single-phase anaerobic digestion (AD) systems toward enhanced methane production. Recent studies on two-phase AD systems processing sugarcane vinasse, the main by-product generated from sugar-alcohol plants, have demonstrated the feasibility of reducing sulfate in the acidog…
Mining of metal materials is a continually rising activity, but high-grade and accessible mining deposits are running low, making low-grade contend and high-processing costs ores an alternative to meet the growing global demand for metals and reduce impacts on mining areas. Among the widely exploited metals is nickel, an extremely versatile metal due to its corrosion resistance, malleabil…
