GRANULAR SLUDGES METHANOGENIC ACTIVITY INCREASE DUE TO CO2 BUBBLING CALCIUM PRECIPITATION OVER NEJAYOTE

  • The COD removal efficiencies in the USAB reactor were greater than 90%.

  • Granular sludges methanogenic activity decreases up to twenty times without removal of calcium over nejayote.

  • We suggest a treatment system nejayote, wich could be addapted to the existing mills nixtamalization process in Mexico City.
