Agribusiness is one of the most important sectors of the economy in the world and Brazil is currently the third largest producer of fruits in the world. Banana production has become one of the prominent segments in agribusiness. However, the generation of waste in the sector has generated an increasing environmental and economic concern, since much of the waste from fruit processing is no…
The production of biodiesel has grown a lot in Brazil, due to the recent national public policies adopted. As a consequence, the generation of crude glycerol, the main coproduct of this process, has increased dramatically. Due to the impurities present in this residue, its applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries become impracticable, therefore, the costs to purify it ar…

The use of leach bed reactors (LBRs) is a promising alternative for dry anaerobic digestion, as they can be installed on farms or in agricultural regions to valorize organic waste generated for bioenergy production. However, there is a limited number of experimental studies published on the use of agro-industrial waste in LBRs for biogas production, with most of these being conducted in E…
According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Brazil rankedthird as the world's largest banana producer in 2022. Thus, the production of this fruithas become one of the prominent segments in the fruit growing and agribusinesssector.During banana processing, a large amount of organic waste is generated and, as itis an environmental liability, this waste is respons…
Brazil is the third largest fruit producer in the world and the fourth largest banana producer in relation to other producing countries, with 6.6 million tons produced on 455 thousand hectares, half of which originates from family farming. During the processing of this fruit, a large amount of waste is generated and, as it is an environmental liability, this waste is responsible for incre…
Population increase can lead to several consequences, among them it is possible to highlight the increased demand for food and production of solid wastes, wastewater and domestic sewage. Among the various approaches that could be applied in the removal and degradation of organic compounds, anaerobic digestion is widely used due to its advantages, such as the possibility of energy recovery…
Brazil is the third largest producer of fruit in the world and the largest producer of red guava in relation to other producing countries. In 2021, the national production of 552,393 tons of guava was responsible for generating R$ 973,137,000.00 in the country. During the processing of this fruit, a large amount of waste is generated and, as it is an environmental liability, these wastes …
