Abstract

This study aimed to optimize the bioelectricity production process using a vinasse solution through the application of Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken designs. An electrochemical cell was constructed using Arduino to measure the potential difference between the anode and cathode immersed in the vinasse solution, a byproduct of wine production containing organic compounds and ions that undergo redox reactions. The Plackett-Burman design identified the most influential variables among eight previously selected, including vinasse concentration, agitation, and yeast, which positively affected millivolt production, while temperature showed a negative correlation. Based on these results, the Box-Behnken design was used for process optimization, varying parameters such as concentration, stirring, and sodium chloride. Response surface graphs demonstrated the relationship between these variables and millivolt production. The findings indicate that higher agitation levels, lower concentrations of vinasse, and the addition of sodium chloride can enhance bioelectricity generation. The study provides insights into the bioelectricity production process from vinasse, contributing to the understanding and potential for sustainable energy generation. The methodology involving Arduino-based measurement and the utilization of experimental designs offers a systematic approach to optimize bioelectricity production from vinasse.
