• Abstract:

  This work aims to: evaluate the use of sludge from the Denim textile industry to mitigate the socio-environmental impacts caused by the textile sector. The production of solid waste by the textile industries impacts the environment and causes concern for society. This waste is still disposed of in sanitary landfills, and due to the organic matter present, there is great potential for biogas synthesis, which can be used to generate electricity or produce Biomethane. Thus, a study was carried out on a laboratory scale of the potential for biogas generation from the sludge from the ETE of Capricórnio Têxtil S/A, in which the physicochemical variables of the sludge were analyzed, such as dry and organic matter, humidity, macronutrients and the generation of biogas and biomethane. The work showed that it is possible to generate biogas and biomethane from the ETE sludge of Capricórnio Têxtil S/A, but other analyzes in the biodigester are necessary. As gains, we have social and environmental gains, and the other objective of this work is to encourage the chain to seek alternatives for the correct and circular use of its waste.
