“…Vinasse may also contain phytotoxic, antibacterial, and recalcitrant compounds, such as phenols, polyphenols, and heavy metals [72,76,77]. During ethanol production, the fermented juice is distilled to extract ethanol as the final product, while vinasse is separated as a byproduct at high temperatures (between 90 and 100 °C) [78,79]. The ratio is approximately 12 L of vinasse for every liter of ethanol produced, which can vary depending on factors such as the use of recirculation processes in the distillery, sugar content in molasses, quality of the fermented must, and operating conditions in the distillation columns [32].…”

The use of filter cake and vinasse in agriculture began in the 1970s and intensified in the 1990s. Currently, the Ukraine war and the high value of fertilizers have created opportunities for fertilization programs in agricultural systems with sustainable goals. This review presents updated data (1988–2024) and a discussion on the potential agricultural use of filter cake and vinasse and indicates the current progress of research on this subject in addition to future prospects. Filter cake stands out due to the formulation of organomineral fertilizers with direct application of composted or fresh forms, favoring the agronomic efficiency of phosphorus. The use of vinasse in fertigation is feasible and replaces potassium mineral fertilizers and other nutrients following an organic matrix. Future perspectives point to the agricultural use of filter cake and vinasse on a sustainable basis from different approaches. The aim is to potentiate their benefits in the soil-plant-atmosphere system. It is noteworthy that filter cake or vinasse, when combined with growth-promoting bacteria in irrigated crops, can nullify the negative effects of climate change due to increased productivity and, at the same time, meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. This contributes to facing global challenges related to food security by recycling nutrients for agriculture and generating clean bioenergy from sugarcane biomass.

“…However, this surge in production also resulted in the generation of significant volumes of wastewater, commonly known as vinasse [5,6] or spent wash from distilleries [7]. Approximately 10 to 15 liters of vinasse are produced for each liter of alcohol produced [8][9][10]. For example, a local distillery with a daily alcohol production of approximately 13,200 liters could generate up to 198,000 liters of vinasse [11].…”

This review examined the viability of hydrodynamic cavitation as a pretreatment method to improve biodegradability and reduce toxicity in alcoholic vinasse. The growing interest in environmental impacts and the demand for sustainable solutions in the alcohol production industry have driven the search for efficient methods to treat vinasse, a complex and polluting by-product. The basic principles of hydrodynamic cavitation and its application in contaminant removal are explored in detail. Through a critical review of existing research, the efficiency of removal of organic load and recalcitrant contaminants, the influence of geometric parameters, the operational parameters of the process, and the challenges of applying hydrodynamic cavitation as pretreatment of alcoholic vinasse are analyzed. Despite its limitations, its potential as a solution to address pollution problems in alcohol production stands out. Ultimately, this review aims not only to collect and analyze the available information but also to encourage future research in this direction. Therefore, this review article is presented as an essential resource that guides future researchers and practitioners towards more sustainable and effective solutions, significantly contributing to environmental improvements in the industry.
