Abstract

Vinasse is a by-product derived from the distillation of fermented sugar cane guarapo and characterized by high levels of EC, COD, BOD5 and acidity; which causes an environmental impact in the production sectors. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of HNaCO3 as a physico-chemical treatment to mitigate the herbicidal activity of vinasse recollected in an artisanal alcohol production unit. Ten samples at pH 4.0 were distributed in containers and adjusted to pH 5, 6 and 7 with HNaCO3; then analyzed for EC, COD, BOD, salinity and temperature. The experiment was carried out with different species of wild plants, kept in 6.5 and 3.5 L containers. All experimental units were dosed with vinasse at pH 4 (control), 5, 6 and 7, every three days, according to their volumetric capacity (100 or 150 mL; for 8 weeks. The results reflected a decrease in EC up to 98%, and a tendency to reduce COD with increasing pH. On the other hand, HNaCO3 did not influence BOD5; however, the percentage of removal of EC and COD produced a reduction in the herbicidal effect; while in only for three species, an effect was observed at the foliar level, between 5 and 30%. It is considered that HNaCO3 promotes the reduction of COD, EC and neutralizes acidity; which suggests the feasibility of application in soils, thus contributing to the mitigation of the impact. environmental.
