MICROBES IN THE DEGRADATION OF SOLID WASTE MOLASSES by Dr. Jai Shanker Pillai H P,Dr. Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy Mutha,Dr. Challaraj Emmanuel E.S.,Dr. Ravi Mohan Pdf

Molasses is usually a viscous product that is obtained by refining sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar. Molasses is a defining component of fine commercial brown sugar. The amount of sugar, method of extraction, and age of plant determines the variety of molasses. Sugarcane molasses has agreeable taste and aroma, which is used primarily for sweetening and flavoring of foods. The sugar beet molasses is unpalatable, foul-smelling and is used mainly as an animal feed additive. There are various forms of molasses which includes Sugar cane molasses, Sugar beet molasses, Blackstrap molasses and unsulphured molasses etc. Molasses is used for the production of variety of food products such as cookies, pies, gingerbread and also used as food additives for live stock feeds. Molasses is a main source for the production of yeast and citric acid as well. It also serves as a carbon source for most of the in situ bioremediation technologies. Molasses can serve as a stock for ethanol fermentation to produce an alternative fuel for motor vehicles. Molasses can also improve the microbial activity of the soil when used as a soil additive. According to the USDA nutrition table, molasses contains sucrose (29% of total carbohydrates), glucose (12%) and fructose (13%). Nutritionally molasses is composed of Water (22%), Carbohydrates (75%) and no protein or fat. A daily intake of 100 gram of molasses is a rich source of vitamin B6 (20% ≥ Daily Value [DV]) and several dietary minerals, including manganese, magnesium, iron, potassium, and calcium (table). The distillation of fermentor wash usually generates molasses spent wash. The molasses spent wash has high rates of BOD, COD, Suspended Solids and is usually highly acidic. Molasses wastewater in factories carrying out alcohol fermentation, bakers yeast fermentation and soon is usually treated by biological methods such as methane fermentation and activated sludge treatment. Almost all the BOD of molasses wastewater containing spent wash is removed by methane fermentation and activated sludge methods, but a lot of melonoidin, a dark brown molasses pigment remain as such. Melonoidin from in distillery waste is one of the sources of water pollution which leads to hazardous effect. The improper treatment and disposal of these waste molasses into natural water bodies may result in eutrophication. The removal of melanoidin from wastewater by effective practical methods is expected throughout the world. The utilization of microbial activity for the decolorization and mineralization of molasses spent wash has shown a promising approach to remediate the hazardous effects of the waste molasses in a benign way.

Biomethanization of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Wastes by J. Mata-Alvarez Pdf

Biomethanization of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Wastes is a comprehensive introduction to both the fundamentals and the more practical aspects of the anaerobic digestion of organic solid wastes, particularly those derived from households, that is, the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (OFMSW). It can be used as a textbook for specialized courses and also as a guide for practitioners. In the first part, the book covers the relevant aspects of anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic wastes. The fundamentals and kinetic aspects of AD are reviewed with particular emphasis on the aspects related to solid wastes. This introduction is necessary to have a comprehensive view of the AD process and to understand the practical principles as well as the origin of possible problems arising from the management of the process. Chapter 2 emphasizes the role of kinetics in designing the reactor, paying special attention to existing models, particularly the dynamic ones. Through this introduction, it is intended to facilitate the technology transfer from laboratory or pilot plant experiences to full-scale process, in order to implement improvements in current digesters. Laboratory methods are described for the analysis and optimization of reactor performance, such as methanogenic activity tests or experimental evaluation of the biodegradation kinetics of solid organic waste. The different reaction patterns applied to industrial reactors are outlined. Industrial reactors are classified in accordance with the system they use, pointing out advantages and limitations. Co-digestion, enabling the co-treatment of organic wastes of different origin in a more economically feasible way, is described in detail. Examples of co-digestion are given, with OFMSW as a base-substrate. Finally, full-scale co-digestion plants are discussed. Various types (mechanical, biological, physico-chemical) of pre-treatment to increase the biodegradability, and thus the yields of the process, are reviewed in detail. The use of the fermentation products of anaerobic digesters for biological nutrient removal processes in wastewater treatment plants is described. This constitutes an example of integrated waste management, a field in which both economic and technical advances can be achieved. Balances are given to justify the approach, and a full-scale case study is presented. The important topic of economics and the ecological advantages of the process are emphasized. The use of compost, the integration with composting technology, and advantages over other technologies are detailed in the framework of an environmental impact assessment of biowaste treatment. Finally, the anaerobic digestion of MSW in landfills is reviewed in detail, with emphasis on landfill process enhancement and strategies for its application.
