Modeling pH and temperature effects on the anaerobic treatment of tequila vinasses

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 2020
AbstractBACKGROUNDAn unstructured mathematical model is proposed to evaluate the effect of key variables on the anaerobic digestion of tequila vinasses and to determine the operating conditions that improve biogas production. Most of the models currently reported do not consider the simultaneous effects of pH and temperature on the process kinetics ...

Anaerobic treatment of Tequila vinasses in a CSTR-type digester 

open access: yesBiodegradation, 2009
Tequila industries in general produce great volumes of effluents with high pollutant loads, which are discharged (untreated or partially treated) into natural receivers, thus causing severe environmental problems. In this contribution, we propose an integrated system as a first step to comply with the Mexican ecological norms and stabilize the ...

Photofermentation of tequila vinasses by Rhodopseudomonas pseudopalustris to produce hydrogen

International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2018
Abstract Hydrogen production by photofermentation of tequila vinasses (VT) was studied using Rhodopseudomonas pseudopalustris DSM 123. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on hydrogen production by photofermentation on VT. Hydrogen production was doubled on VT (260 m$props_value{literPattern}/L) as compared to a synthetic medium ...

Tequila vinasses: generation and full scale treatment processes

Reviews in Environmental Science and Biotechnology, 2010
The production of Tequila (55% Alc. Vol.) in Mexico for the year 2008 was 227 million liters, and consequently around 2,270 million liters of Tequila vinasses (TVs) were generated, which without proper treatment is equivalent to the pollution produced by 6.2 million people.

Influence of alkalinity and VFAs on the performance of an UASB reactor with recirculation for the treatment of Tequila vinasses

Environmental Technology (United Kingdom), 2015
The main problem linked to the stability of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors during the treatment of Tequila vinasse is the high acidity and the null alkalinity present in this effluent. This research evaluates the effect of alkalinity and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) concentration on the performance of an UASB reactor with recirculation ...

Comparative evaluation of the mesophilic and thermophilic biohydrogen production at optimized conditions using tequila vinasses as substrate

International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2020
Abstract The objective of this work was to comparatively evaluate the production of biohydrogen (bio-H2) from tequila vinasses at optimized mesophilic and thermophilic conditions and to elucidate the main metabolic routes involved. Optimal temperatures of 35 °C and 55 °C, and pH of 5.5 maximized the bio-H2 production rates, 25.5 ± 0.01 NmL h−1 and ...

Sequential Treatment of Tequila Industry Vinasses by Biopolymer-based Coagulation/Flocculation and Catalytic Ozonation

Ozone: Science and Engineering, 2016
ABSTRACTThis article describes the study of the treatment of tequila industry vinasses based on the sequential application of coagulation-flocculation and heterogeneous catalytic ozonation. Coagulation-flocculation treatment used biopolymers to reduce the nondissolved organic matter and to reduce the degree of color units in effluent.
