Cover Story: Vinasse is a residue from the sugarcane ethanol process that is rich in organic matter and minerals, and often used in fertilization and irrigation practices, which may be linked to negative environmental outcomes. A novel alternative to the treatment of vinasse, promoting a reduction in chemical oxygen demand levels, phenolic compounds, and mineral content through the coupling of ozone treatment, anaerobic digestion, and the aerobic growth of fungi, is presented and discussed.
