The biorefinery concept has been applied to wastewater and solid waste treatment systems by various research groups around the world. Many advances have been achieved mainly with the application of anaerobic biotechnology, with increasing yields and productivity in the production of organic acids, solvents, bioplastics, hydrogen, and methane, among other products of interest. The growing …
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…
Several antibiotics are found in the water bodies of the country, mainly due to the discharge of raw effluent and sewage treatment plants (STPs). Changes in the morphology of aquatic biota and in the hormonal system of living beings are observed by the consumption of water resources containing antibiotics. In this sense, the objective of this project is to evaluate different treatment pro…
The proper management of vinasse-the primary effluent generated during sugarcane ethanol production-is critical for enabling resource recovery and minimizing environmental impacts within the scope of biorefinery operations. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a well-established technology for the treatment of organic effluents, coupling the removal of organic matter with the generation of biogas …
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…

A decentralized wastewater treatment system is an attractive alternative in small communities, agricultural areas or developing residential areas where investing in sewerage to connect to a centralized plant is not technologically or economically feasible. However, the current technologies applied to the segregated wastewater - black and grey water - remains at the primary treatment level…
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…
