Abstract

Stillage from cane molasses based alcohol distillery was thermally treated at 160 to 250°C at high pressure and in the absence of air. A solid charred residue was precipitated that was easily separated by gravity filtration from a liquid suitable for anaerobic digestion or wet oxidation. The charred residue was comparable with typical lignite coal in terms of carbon content and calorific value. Effects of temperature and pH on COD reduction, biodegradability, and filterability were studied.
