Las aguas residuales provenientes del proceso de nixtamalización representan un reto por su composición compleja y altamente alcalina. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo potenciar la producción de metano mediante la digestión anaeróbica de nejayote con materiales conductores a base de carbón modificado con hierro. A través de dos fases experimentales, los resultados más significativos muestran que la carga metálica en el carbón activado granular (CAG) no estimula la transferencia de electrones en un medio como el nejayote. Por otro lado, cuando el pH se mantiene en valores neutros, se obtiene una reducción del 88% en la DQO y altos valores de metano acumulado. El estudio describe la relación entre el uso del CAG y el nejayote como promotor de metano en la digestión anaeróbica, lo que puede ser una alternativa sustentable.
