Resumo

The high temperature in which sugarcane vinasse (SV) is generated (similar to 90 degrees C) and the positive effect of higher temperatures in biochemical reactions have motivated the evaluation of SV anaerobic digestion (AD) under extreme temperature conditions. Two-stage (acidogenic/methanogenic) and single-stage (methanogenic) AD of SV were evaluated under 70 degrees C in structured-bed reactors. The extreme temperature was beneficial to the acidogenic step of the two-stage AD process. The methane production, however, was hindered at 70 degrees C. The VMP of the single and two-stage reactors accounted, respectively, for only 13% and 7% of the production rate reported in sugarcane vinasse AD at 55 degrees C. At 70 degrees C, the main genera responsible for methane production was Methanothermobacter and the acetoclastic methanogenesis did not occur, resulting in acetic acid build up (15,800 mg L-1). These results brought a new perspective for sugarcane vinasse management, with acetic acid production alternatively to methanization. In this perspective, two-stage process would be composed of acidogenic and acetogenic reactors, and beyond acetate, hydrogen and other soluble compounds could be recovered in a complete biorefinery process. {[}GRAPHICS] .
