• Abstract

  Anaerobic Digestion (AD) has been widely used for biogas or biofuel generation from waste treatment. Because a low production rate and instability of AD occur frequently, a variety of configurations have been applied to improve the process. A novel Anaerobic Biodigester Fixed Structured Bed (ABFSB) has been used as a technological alternative to packed-bed configuration preventing the acc…

• Abstract

  The regulation of the anaerobic digestion process can be affected by factors such as pH, organic load, C/N ratio, alkalinity, agitation, presence of macro and micronutrients, among others. However, the addition of a nutrient medium may present a high application cost, making all treatment impossible. This makes it necessary to look for more accessible alternatives that improve the charact…

• Abstract

  The management of residues like the sugarcane bagasse, in order to obtain products of high value as organic volatile acids and biohydrogen/ethanol as energy carriers, is a feasible application of bioprocessing. In this sense, the proposal of obtaining energy and valuable products through bioprocessing in an interesting alternative to this residue disposal. Sugarcane bagasse is mainly cons…

• Abstract

  Pentoses liquor is a liquid residue from sugarcane bagasse preprocessing for its hydrolysis towards second generation ethanol production. The composition of this residue varies with the kind of pretreatment process used, but the most common constituents are lignin, mono- and oligosaccharides from hemicellulose, which xylose is the major constituent carbohydrate. The ongoing research which…

  Anaerobic fermentation of products from acidogenic digestion of sugarcane bagasse pentose liquor for ethanol and butanol production, BE.EP.PD

• Abstract

  Recent reports on organic acids and biohydrogen obtaining through anaerobic acidogenic processes showed that therophilic conditions could improve systems stability. The hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse also requeres high temperatures to be carried out, so the thermophilic anaerobic processes could be an interesting alternative in processing this residues to obtain biohydrogen and organic f…
