Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate an activated sludge system as a post‐treatment step of anaerobic effluents from the co‐digestion of sugarcane vinasse and hemicelluloses hydrolysate. The system consisted, initially, of a two‐stage anaerobic system followed by a continuously fed activated sludge, all in bench scale. After adaptation of aerobic microorganisms to effluent conditions, the anaerobic digestion was conducted in a single‐stage anaerobic reactor, increasing the influent organic loading rate (OLR) of activa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
