Procedure for obtaining a fertilizing product from beer production waste

摘要

The invention defines a procedure for obtaining a fertilizing product from beer production waste, characterized in that it comprises the stages:
(a) subjecting the waste to alkaline treatment at a pH of 10.5-13, followed by filtering to obtain a protein solution;
(b) subjecting the protein solution obtained in stage (a) to an acid treatment at a pH of 2.5-4.5, followed by filtering to obtain a protein concentrate; and
(c) subjecting the protein concentrate obtained in stage (b) to hydrolysis, to obtain a fertilizing product.
This procedure allows obtaining several fertilizing products that can be used in agricultural treatments, as well as using this industrial waste which otherwise could cause environmental problems, due to their high biological load.
