Evaluation of Ficus benjamina wood chip-based fungal biofiltration for the treatment of Tequila vinasses [PDF]

Water Science and Technology, 2018
AbstractThis study was focused on the application of an aerobic biofiltration (BF) with Ficus benjamina wood chips as support medium, inoculated with two basidiomycete fungi, Phanerochaete chrysosporium (BF 1) and Trametes versicolor (BF 2), to treat Tequila vinasses from a Tequila industry. The biofiltration system was compared with a biofilter system

Biohydrogen production from tequila vinasses using a fixed bed reactor

Water Science and Technology, 2014
In Mexico, the industrial production of tequila leads to the discharge of more than 31.2 million of m3 of vinasse, which causes serious environmental issues because of its acidity, high organic load and the presence of recalcitrant compounds. The aim of this research was to study the feasibility of a fixed bed reactor for the production of biohydrogen ...

Possible Pollution of Surface Water Bodies with Tequila Vinasses

Water, 2023
The aim of this study was to evaluate the water quality in two streams of the Valles region of Jalisco, Mexico and fully determine if they are being used as tequila vinasse disposal sites. Three sampling campaigns were carried out at eight different points of the two streams that run near tequila factories (TFs). Different physicochemical parameters of

Sustainability in Tequila Production: A Life Cycle Assessment [PDF]

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 6797-6809, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Tequila, one of Mexico's most emblematic products, has seen a steady growth in production and exports over the last 25 years. Environmental sustainability in its production is becoming increasingly significant. This is due to consumers' growing awareness of the environment.

Generation of Tequila Vinasses, Characterization, Current Disposal Practices and Study Cases of Disposal Methods

Water, 2022
Tequila vinasse is a liquid waste generated during the production of tequila, an emblematic alcoholic beverage in Mexico. The objective of this study was to carry out an investigation on the tequila factories located in the state of Jalisco in order to know the location of the factories in the state, the characterization of the vinasses including ...

Integration of Coagulation–flocculation(with Natural Coagulant) to Constructed Wetlands for Color Removal from Tequila Vinasses

Water
The aim of this study was to evaluate a natural coagulant, Moringa oleifera seeds (MOC), to reduce the color concentration in treated tequila vinasses (TVs). TV-A was the effluent of horizontal subsurface flow wetlands (HSSFW); TV-B was the effluent of vertical up-flow wetlands (VUFW); and TV-C was the effluent of vertical down-flow constructed ...

Biogas production in an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor by using tequila vinasses: effect of pH and temperature

Water Science and Technology, 2015
In recent years, anaerobic digestion has been recognized as a suitable alternative for tequila vinasses treatment due to its high energy recovery and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency. However, key factors such as the lack of suitable monitoring schemes and the presence of load disturbances, which may induce unstable operating conditions ...

Electrocoagulation with Fe-SS Electrodes as a Fourth Stage of Tequila Vinasses Treatment for COD and Color Removal

Processes
The tequila industry faces several environmental challenges due to its high yields of contaminants, especially tequila distillation stillage or tequila vinasses, with ten to twelve liters produced per liter of tequila. All treatments aim to shorten retention times to avoid the need for large equipment or new facilities and the saturation of residues ...
