RESUMO
Pig farming contributes to the economic development of nations and supplies human food demand; however, it generates a large amount of organic waste which, if not managed properly, becomes a risk to the environment and human and animal health. Considering the relevance of composting and its usefulness for the use of waste, this study aimed to determine the global trends in the management of composting manure, mortality and other organic waste produced on pig farms over the last five years (2017-2022). Systematic search involved four databases: ISI Web of Science, Scopus, Ebsco and Scielo. Of the total findings, 56 articles were included in the review, further classified into 14 categories for their respective analysis: co-substrates/additives, microbial communities, antibiotic resistance, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, microbiological/parasitological quality, phytopathogens, nitrogen transformation, bioinoculants, comparison/combination with other waste management techniques, factors affecting composting, swine mortality and plant growth promotion/phytotoxicity. The review exemplified the importance of swine mortality composting as an alternative for organic matter management in pig farms, considering that the process also includes manure, vegetable waste and wood chips, among others. Controlled factors throughout the process are a requirement to obtain a stable product with physicochemical and microbiological quality that complies with national and international regulations and that will be useful and safe for application on crops, ensuring environmental, animal, and human health.
RESUMO
A composting-accelerating bio-inoculant (Bacillus subtilis, Talaromyces sayulitensis (HC1), Steinernema sp., and Heterorhabditis sp.) was evaluated in a composting process made up of a different mix of wood chips, pig manure, urine, and swine mortality (raw material RM). Three different treatments (T1, T2, and T3) were assessed, and physicochemical, microbiological, and entomological evaluations were carried out at 0 and 45 days of the composting process. The highest organic nitrogen (1.34 %) concentration was detected in swine mortality, whereas the highest total oxidizable organic carbon (39.1 %) concentration was observed in wood chips. Salmonella spp., was not identified in any of the raw materials. Clostridium spp., count was 5.5, 2.0, and 1.0 Log10 unit, for pig manure, wood chips, and swine mortality, respectively. Pig manure, swine mortality, and wood chip total coliform count was 6.21, 5.32, and 1 Log10 unit, respectively. Helminth eggs were not detected in any of the RM and Cryptosporidium spp., oocysts were occasionally found in pig manure and wood chips. Several types of flies were identified, Musca domestica, Muscina stabulans, Stomoxys calcitrans, Fannia canicularis, Sarcophaga sp., and Calliphora sp. Treatment 3 (45.11 % swine mortality, 33.33 % wood chips, and 21.55 %, urine and bio-inoculant) had the greatest total oxidizable organic carbon availability, the highest carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio (20.67, p < 0.05), and the lowest dipterous larvae count. Moreover, Salmonella sp., was not observed and had only low Clostridium spp., and fecal coliform count. The bio-inoculant's effect on C/N ratio, cation exchange capacity, and electrical conductivity were beneficial, and resulted in production of a fertilizer complying with EPA 600/1-87-014, EPA 40 CFR Part 258, and NTC5167/11 norms. According to the characterization protocols used in this study the compost was apparently free from bacterial and parasitic pathogens and minimal dipteran counts. Last, maturation time was 15 days shorter compared with control (C4).
RESUMO
Objetivo. Evaluar tres tratamientos (lagunaje, fotocatálisis con TiO2 y desinfección química) para la inactivación de coliformes totales y Escherichia coli presentes en agua residual doméstica empleada para riego agrícola. Materiales y métodos. El agua residual fue caracterizada por medio de análisis físicos, químicos y microbiológicos. Posteriormente fue sometida a un tratamiento de lagunaje facultativo (TLF), pos tratamiento fotocatalítico (PTFTiO2/UV) y pos tratamiento químico (PTQ NaClO). Valorando la capacidad desinfectante de cada uno de ellos para inactivar coliformes totales y E. coli. A continuación se procesaron tres nuevos lotes de agua residual y se utilizaron para realizar pruebas de riego a escala de laboratorio por 30 días, empleando como modelo plantas de Lactuca sativa variedad Batavia y evaluando la concentración inicial y final de los dos grupos. Resultados. El PTFTiO2/UV fue significativamente superior que TLFLF y el PTQ NaClO (p<0,0001) obteniendo 100% de inactivación para coliformes y E. coli a los 30 minutos de irradiación a escala de reactor. Respecto a las pruebas de riego de L. sativa se demostró que al utilizar el agua tratada por PTFTiO2/UV no se presentó contaminación con E. coli y coliformes a los 30 días de proceso. Por el contrario en las plantas regadas con agua tratada por TLF y PTQ NaClO se observó un incremento en las dos poblaciones generando un problema de contaminación de las hortalizas al finalizar la prueba de laboratorio. Conclusión. La fotocatálisis heterogénea TiO2 fue un método eficaz para la reducción de coliformes y E.coli en aguas residuales domésticas.
Objective. To evaluate three treatments (facultative stabilization ponds, heterogeneous photocatalysis with TiO2 and chemical disinfection with sodium hypochlorite) for the inactivation of coliforms and Escherichia coli presen in domestic wastewaters used in agricultural irrigation. Materials and methods. Wastewater was characterized by physical, chemical and microbiological analyses and was then exposed to a facultative pond treatment (FPT), post-photocatalytic treatment (PTFTiO2/UV) and post-chemical treatment (PTQNaClO) to assess the disinfecting capacity of each method in the inactivation of total coliforms and E. coli. Three new samples of wastewater were processed and used in irrigation tests on a laboratory-scale basis for 30 days, using Lactuca sativa cultivar. Batavia as a model plant and evaluating the initial and final concentrations of the two groups. Results. PTFTiO2/UV was significantly higher than FPT and PTQNaClO (p<0.0001), obtaining 100% of inactivation of coliforms and E. coli after 30 minutes of irradiation at a reactor scale. Regarding the irrigation tests with L. sativa, we showed that using water treated by PTFTiO2/UV there is no contamination with E. coli and coliforms after 30 days. On the contrary, plants irrigated with water treated by FPT and PTQNaClO showed an increase in the two populations originating a contamination problem in the vegetable by the end of the laboratory experiments. Conclusion. The heterogeneous photocatalysis with TiO2 was an effective method in the reduction of coliforms and E. coli present in domestic wastewater.

Conclusão. A fotocatálise heterogênea TiO2 foi um método eficaz para reduzirem coliformes e E. coli em águas residuais domésticas.
RESUMO
Se evaluó un sistema discontinuo secuencial compuesto por células de Bacillus licheniformis y Saccharomyces cerevisiae para producción de etanol, utilizando en la segunda fase del proceso, un hidrolizado de almidón de papa, obtenido con el uso de células de B. licheniformis. Ambos microorganismos fueron inmovilizados en matriz de alginato de calcio al 3,2 por ciento y 2,5 por ciento (p/v), observando que a estas concentraciones se retiene la mayor cantidad de células (26x106 y 10x107 UFC/g) y permite la difusión de los productos, obteniendo 3,3 g/L de azúcares reductores y 642 UA/L (unidades amilolíticas) para B. licheniformis y 0,866 por ciento (v/v) de etanol con S. cerevisiae. Mediante un diseño factorial 22 se seleccionaron las condiciones de operación a escala de reactor para la producción del hidrolizado, encontrando que al cultivar a B. licheniformis con 3 v.v.m. y 150 r.p.m. se produjeron 3,7 g/L de azúcares reductores y 669 UA/L a las 4 horas de proceso. El hidrolizado se caracterizó por cromatografía HPLC determinando que es rico en oligómeros, dextrinas y que tiene baja concentración de glucosa y maltosa. El uso del hidrolizado para la producción de etanol, generó porcentajes bajos (0,47por ciento y 0,74 por ciento v/v), tanto en células libres como inmovilizadas, respectivamente.
We evaluated a sequential discontinuous system composed by Bacillus licheniformis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae forethanol production. For the second phase of the process potato starch hydrolyzed were used, which was obtained from B. licheniformis cells. Both microorganisms were immobilized in a calcium alginate matrix of 3,2% and 2,5% (w/v), where was observed that these concentrations retained the majority of the cells (26x106 and 10x107 UFC/g) and alloweddissemination of its products, gaining 3.3 g/L of reducing sugars and 642 AU/L (units Amylolytic) for B. licheniformis and 0,866% (v/v) ethanol with S. cerevisiae. By means of a 22 factorial design were selected operating conditions at a reactor scale for production of hydrolyzed, finding that by cultivating B. licheniformis with 3 v.v.m. and 150 r.p.m. there were 3.7 g/L of reducing sugars and 669 AU/L after 4 hours of the process. The hydrolyzed was characterized using HPLC chromatography, which determined that it is rich in oligomers and dextrin, and it has low concentration of glucose andmaltose. The use of hydrolyzed for ethanol production, generated low percentages (0,47% and 0,74% v/v) in free and immobilized cells respectively.
