“…However, the incorporation of vinasse excessively into the soil modifies the pH and conductivity, causing toxicity to the environment where it is poured [11], approximately 100 times more than domestic wastewater [8]. It is estimated that for each liter of ethanol, 10 to 15 L of vinasse are produced [5,12], from 12 to 18 L [13], about 12 L [14,15]; 15 L [16], or from 9 to 14 L [17], depending on the use or not of a recirculation process in the distillery, the richness of sugars in molasses, the quality of the fermented must, and the operating conditions in the distillation columns, among other factors. Of these studies, 85.71% consider within their estimate that 12 L are generated from vinasse for each liter of ethanol (see Figure 2).…”
