37. Adaptation behaviour of bacterial species and impact on the biodegradation of biodiesel-diesel
Abstract Two bacteria, namely Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were exposed to different concentrations of diesel to increase their adaptation to the fossil fuel, and were used for the degradation of diesel-biodiesel blends. The biodegradation rate was evaluated using the redox indicator 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) test and gravimetric

38. Nanocomposites Based on Cassava Starch and Chitosan-Modified Clay: Physico‑Mechanical Properties and Biodegradability in Simulated Compost Soil
Organic-inorganic nanocomposites based on cassava starch, glycerol and chitosan-modified Veegum® HS clay mineral at two different low polymer-to-clay ratios (2.5 and 5.0 wt.%) were prepared by extrusion producing flexible, transparent and homogeneous plastics as potential candidates for agricultural purposes. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron micr

39. BIODEGRADATION OF ACRYLIC PAINTS: PROCESS MODELLING OF BIOCIDE EFFECT ON BIOMASS GROWTH AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES
Abstract Acrylic paint, notwithstanding the attention paid during the production process, couldbe contaminated by bacteria. This is a consequence of microbiological residuals on the can, resulting in the alterationof paint characteristics. It is therefore necessary to provide an in-canpreservation of the paint by using a biocide.In this paper, the evolution

40. Behavior study of the doped castor bean polymer rod with bioactive glass and hidroxyapatite in mice femur medullary canal
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the polymer doped rods behavior with bioactive glass and hydroxyapatite for possible application as a fracture fixing method. Methods Twenty eight Rattus norvegicus Wistar underwent bone defect for access to the femoral medullary canal and distributed into three experimental groups: group A - doped castor bean polymer with bi

41. BIODEGRADATION OF PHENOL BY FREE AND IMMOBILIZED CELLS OF A NOVEL Pseudomonas sp. NBM11
Abstract In the present study, a pure culture of bacterium (Pseudomonas sp. Strain NBM11) was isolated from the soil sample from a site contaminated with medical wastes and wastewater. The isolated strain can degrade up to 1000 mg/L of phenol completely. It was observed that temperature, pH and initial concentration of phenol play key roles in determining th

42. SONO-OXIDATIVE PRE-TREATMENT OF WASTE ACTIVATED SLUDGE BEFORE ANAEROBIC BIODEGRADATION
Abstract The effects of sonication, potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) oxidation and their simultaneous combination (called "sono-oxidative pre-treatment") on chemical properties and anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (WAS) were investigated and compared comprehensively. Based on chemical parameters, the optimum operating conditions were found to be 0.3 g

43. Screening of freshwater fungi for decolorizing multiple synthetic dyes
Abstract The biodegradation of synthetic dyes by fungi is emerging as an effective and promising approach. In the present study, freshwater fungal strains isolated from submerged woods were screened for the decolorization of 7 synthetic dyes. Subsequently, 13 isolates with high decolorization capability were assessed in a liquid system; they belonged to 9 di

44. BIODEGRADATION OF EFFLUENT CONTAMINATED WITH DIESEL OIL AND GASOLINE USING CHITOSAN AS A NATURAL COAGULANT IN A CONTINUOUS PROCESS
Abstract This study evaluated the effects of aeration (constant aeration, intermittent aeration and a lack of aeration) and hydraulic retention time (HRT) (2, 3 and 4 days) on a continuous process with cell recycling, using chitosan as a natural coagulant for the sedimentation of a C1 mixed culture. This culture was used for the biodegradation of hydrocarbon

45. Regional analysis of potential polychlorinated biphenyl degrading bacterial strains from China
ABSTRACT Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), the chlorinated derivatives of biphenyl, are one of the most prevalent, highly toxic and persistent groups of contaminants in the environment. The objective of this study was to investigate the biodegradation of PCBs in northeastern (Heilongjiang Province), northern (Shanxi Province) and eastern China (Shanghai muni

46. Biodegradation of additive PHBV/PP-co-PE films buried in soil
Abstract There is considerable concern about the impact plastic materials have on the environment due to their durability and resistance to degradation. The use of pro-oxidant additives in the polymer films could be a viable way to decrease the harmful effects of these discarded materials. In this study, films of PHBV/PP-co-PE (80/20 w/w) and PHBV/PP-co-PE/a

47. FÁRMACOS QUIRAIS EM DIFERENTES MATRIZES AMBIENTAIS: OCORRÊNCIA, REMOÇÃO E TOXICIDADE
In recent decades, the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment has been widely reported due to their high frequency and recalcitrance in many cases. Concerning the chiral pharmaceuticals (CPs) in environmental matrices, the stereochemistry is often neglected and enantiomers are determined together as unique molecules. However, it is well known that

48. Biodegradation Study of a Novel Poly-Caprolactone-Coffee Husk Composite Film
Abstract Plastic disposal is a worldwide issue due to its long degradation time. Environmentally degradable polymers (EDPs) have received considerable attention because of their faster degradation. However, the use of EDPs is limited by high cost and restricted properties. The incorporation of organic fillers is an alternative to reduce cost while increasing
