Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the literature regarding the sugarcane industrial water effluent characteristics and evaluate wastewater treatment methods and possibilities to minimize the effluent environmental burden and extract high value products. As oxygen demand is the priority, anaerobic treatments, membranes etc. should be used in old plants. For new plants, bioconversion into high-added value products and energy or the use of bio refineries for the integrated sugar ethanol mills should be used.
