Winery and Distillery Waste Management : Perspective and Potential Future Uses
نویسنده
چکیده
The winery and distillery industry generates an increasing amount of wastes, whose management and disposal constitute an environmental concern due to their seasonal character and some polluting characteristics. The main solid by-products and residues generated are grape stalk, grape pomace or marc, wine lee, exhausted grape marc and winery sludge, while the main effluents are winery wastewater and vinasse. This paper aims to make an overview of the generation and characteristics of the winery and distillery wastes, presenting the methodology currently used to manage them and establishing composting as a potential future treatment to obtain added value materials from these wastes.

Anaerobic Methods of Distillery Waste and Wastewater Treatment
During alcohol production, large amounts of waste and wastewater are produced. These may have a considerable environmental impact by polluting both water bodies and soil, by causing an adverse climatic effect and odour nuisance. Due to the high concentration of organic matter, both distillery waste and wastewater at the same time do have a great nutrient and energy potential that can be utilise...

The objective of this work was to study the co-composting process of wastes from the winery and distillery industry with animal manures, using the classical chemical methods traditionally used in composting studies together with advanced instrumental methods (thermal analysis, FT-IR and CPMAS 13C NMR techniques), to evaluate the development of the process and the quality of the end-products obt...
متن کاملWastewater characteristics from Greek wineries and distilleries.
The present paper deals with the characterization of wastewater generated from Greek wineries and wine distilleries. The quantity and the quality of the wastewater of a distillery depends on the type of wine (white or red), on the processes followed for the production of wine as well as on the volume of the tanks that are used. The total production of wastewater from a winery is about 1.2 times...
