• Abstract

  From the perspective of environmental control and sustainability, new proposals for biotechnological solutions for wastewater treatment aiming to produce bioenergy have been brought forward. In this scenario, anaerobic technology should be mentioned, since provides not only a reduction in the pollutant load, but also, bioenergy generation. Vinasse, byproduct of the sugar and alcohol produ…

• Abstract

  Alternative energy sources are becoming more and more important, and hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) production from biomass and residues are options for renewable energy. Currently, research is focused on optimization of H2 and CH4 production from vinasse, the liquid residue left in the distillation of ethanol from sugar-cane derivates. Due to its high biochemical oxygen demand (17,000 t…

• Abstract

  From the perspective of sustainability and environmental control, researches have focused on biotechnological processes for the treatment of wastes in order to remove organic matter and produce bioenergy. In this scenario the anaerobic technology is noteworthy, since promote removal of organic matter and generation of bioenergy such as hydrogen and methane. Vinasse, the waste production o…

• Abstract

  The aim of this research is to get insight into microorganisms involved in autotrophic denitrification using sulfide as electron donor. For this, the stable-isotope probing technique (DNA-SIP) will be applied. Firstly, autotrophic denitrifier enrichment culture feed with bicarbonate, sulphide and nitrate will be obtained from a wastewater system operated in pilot scale. Denitrification wi…
