ASSESSMENT OF OZONE AS A PRETREATMENT TO IMPROVE ANAEROBIC DIGESTION OF VINASSE

Abstract This paper presents an assessment of ozone oxidative effects on the biodegradability of sugar cane vinasse, aiming at increasing the methane yield by anaerobic digestion of this effluent. Furthermore, as a new approach, an economic balance of this process was made. Using a bench scale react...
