Yeast community composition impacts on tequila industry waste treatment for pollution control and waste-to-product synthesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemical Engineering, 2022
The Tequila industry is a major producer of wastewater in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. Tequila vinasses (TV) are a residue from the distillation of fermented agave wort during tequila production. TV are difficult to treat due their high organic content,

Optimization control of the double‐capacity water tank‐level system using the deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 5, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Process control systems are subject to external factors such as changes in working conditions and perturbation interference, which can significantly affect the system's stability and overall performance. The application and promotion of intelligent control algorithms with self‐learning, self‐optimization, and self‐adaption characteristics have

Valorization of brewery waste slurry with glycerol as co‐substrate for hydrogen and butyrate production using dark fermentation

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 98, Issue 8, Page 1975-1985, August 2023., 2023
Abstract BACKGROUND Among the methods to produce hydrogen biologically, dark fermentation stands out mainly due to its low operating requirements. Organic wastes, such as brewing industry waste slurries and glycerol, can provide a cost‐effective feedstock with the additional potential of generating value‐added byproducts, while addressing a wastewater ...

Distilling agro‐extractivism: Agave and tequila production in Mexico

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 219-241, April 2021., 2021
Abstract This article seeks to challenge the notion that the concept of agro‐extractivism be restricted to crops destined for export with little or no processing. Based on a study of agave and tequila production in Mexico, it argues that the domestic processing of biomass does not change nor necessarily compensate for the negative social and ...

Food waste conversion to microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 10, Issue 6, Page 1338-1352, November 2017., 2017
Food wastage is a global issue and therefore harbors immense potential to create valuable bioproducts. This article's main focus is to examine the state of the art of converting food‐derived waste into carbon substrates for microbial metabolism and subsequent conversion into PHAs.

Biogenic Hydrogen Conversion of De‐Oiled Jatropha Waste via Anaerobic Sequencing Batch Reactor Operation: Process Performance, Microbial Insights, and CO2 Reduction Efficiency

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
We report the semicontinuous, direct (anaerobic sequencing batch reactor operation) hydrogen fermentation of de‐oiled jatropha waste (DJW). The effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) was studied and results show that the stable and peak hydrogen production rate of 1.48 L/L*d and hydrogen yield of 8.7 mL H2/g volatile solid added were attained when ...

Detoxification of tequila vinasse by Trametes sanguineus: a biotechnological approach to laccase production and water reuse in seedling growth

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023
Abstract Tequila vinasse, a by-product generated during agave fermentation, is a wastewater characterized by its dark color and composition, which includes water, alcohol, sugars, phenolic compounds, proteins, among others. Its high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and pH levels classify it as hazardous to the soil, plants, and aquatic organisms ...

Advances in Low‐Carbon Hydrogen Production via Anaerobic Digestion: A Review of the Processes, Challenges, and Future Perspectives

open access: yesInternational Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Hydrogen production through anaerobic fermentation has gained prominence among researchers as a promising ecological route, capable of combining the treatment of highly polluting waste with the generation of a clean fuel. Hydrogen is considered a strategic energy carrier for the transition and restructuring of the global energy matrix, as it is a ...

Effect of tequila vinasse irrigation on soil physicochemical properties, heavy metals, and bacterial communities in soils cultivated with Agave tequilana

open access: yesFrontiers in Soil Science
Tequila production yields 10–12 liters of tequila vinasses (TV) per liter of product, posing significant waste management challenges. Land application offers a cost-effective disposal method with potential fertilization benefits, though its impact on ...
