Anaerobic co-digestion of sugarcane press mud with vinasse on methane yield
Waste Management, 2017The conversion efficiency of high solids waste digestion as sugarcane press mud (P) may be limited due to hydrolysis step. The option of co-digestion with vinasse, main liquid waste generated from ethanol production, was investigated under batch regime at mesophilic conditions (37.5±1°C) and the best mixture was evaluated under semicontinuous regime in

Treatment of xylene polluted air using press mud-based biofilter
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2009In the present work, biofiltration of xylene vapors has been investigated on a laboratory scale biofilter packed with press mud as filter material inoculated with activated sludge from pharmaceutical industry. Four various gas flow rates, i.e. 0.03, 0.06, 0.09 and 0.12 m(3) h(-1), were tested for inlet xylene concentration ranging from 0.2 to 1.2 g m ...

This study investigates the feasibility of anaerobic digestion (AD) of press mud previously pretreated, using two methods: Liquid Hot Water (LHW) and Thermo-Alkaline (TA), from an economic, energetic and environmental point of view. Two scenarios, a sugar mill with and without distillery were studied, considering monodigestion and vinasse codigestion ...

Sugar industry press mud as alternate organic fertiliser source
International Journal of Environment and Waste Management, 2012* Corresponding author Abstract: Organic materials are added to soil for improving soil physico-chemical properties. In the present study different doses of press mud along with NPK were applied to wheat crop in pot and field experiments. The increasing levels of press mud application improved soil physical conditions like increase in total porosity ...

Waste Management, 2023
In the present study, press mud (PM), a major waste by-product from sugar industries, was subjected to hydrothermal pretreatment (HTP) to create resource recovery opportunities. The HTP process was performed with the PM samples in a laboratory scale high pressure batch reactor (capacity = 0.7 L) at 160 °C and 200 °C temperatures (solids content = 5 ...

Effect of Press Mud Application on Nutrient Uptake by Ragi
Madras Agricultural Journal, 1980A Neubauer study was carried out with four soils incubated with press mud at 0, 5 and 10 t/ha for 60 days. Ragi (CO 10) seedlings were raised for a period of 17 days. The germination per cent, mean root and shoot length. dry matter yield and uptake of nutrients were studied. Press mud application significantly reduced the germination of ragi seeds, but

Pyrolysis and thermal oxidation kinetics of sugar mill press mud
Thermochimica Acta, 2005Abstract Press mud, a solid waste obtained from the sugar mills, has the potential of energy generation through pyrolysis and gasification. The paper reports its proximate and ultimate analyses, deformation and fusion ash temperatures, lower and higher heating values, physico-chemical and thermal degradation in nitrogen and air atmospheres.

Thermo-chemical pre-treatment to solubilize and improve anaerobic biodegradability of press mud
Bioresource Technology, 2013Different pre-treatment severities by thermo-alkaline conditions (100°C, Ca(OH)2) on press mud were evaluated for different pre-treatment time and lime loading. COD solubilization and the methane yield enhancement were assessed. The biochemical methane potential was determined in batch assays under mesophilic conditions (37±1°C). The best pre-treatment
