1. Utilization of the Corncob Agro-Industrial Residue as a Potential Adsorbent in the Biosorption of Bisphenol-A
The presence of plastic waste in water bodies has led to a growing concern due to the impact on human health. Among the most important plastic additive molecules is bisphenol-A (BPA). On the other hand, micro-pollutant removal processes that make use of agro-industrial waste have aroused the interest of researchers. This is because the accumulation of lignoc

3. Does the Addition of Cotton Wastes Affect the Properties of Particleboards?
ABSTRACT A wide range of materials for the development of new products can be obtained from natural resources. Good examples of these materials are lignocellulosic wastes, which are a good alternative for the production of particleboards. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using cotton wastes in association to eucalyptus particles in the produc

4. Painéis de partículas elaborados do mesocarpo do dendê como alternativa ao MDF utilizado na construção civil
RESUMO A escassez dos recursos florestais integrada à necessidade de aquisição de produtos mais ecológicos demanda o uso de outros tipos de biomassa, além da madeira no setor construtivo. Diante disso, o mesocarpo do dendê - resíduo oriundo da agroindústria e com grande potencial de utilização para desenvolvimento de novos materiais - surge como al

5. Thermomechanical Properties of Corn Starch Based Film Reinforced with Coffee Ground Waste as Renewable Resource
Abstract Starches polymeric films offer several advantages for the replacement of synthetic polymers due to their biodegradability, non-toxicity, availability and low cost. However, the high biodegradation potential can cause fragility, considering some fundamental mechanical properties. Therefore, starch based polymeric films were reinforced incorporating l

6. Potential Bio-Oil Production from Invasive Aquatic Plants by Microscale Pyrolysis Studies
The invasive aquatic plants Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), Eichhornia azurea, and Nymphaea spp. were evaluated as sources of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of bio-oil. These plants have high growth rates that can lead to various environmental problems and the production of large amounts of waste biomass. The materials were characterized i

7. THE FUNGAL ABILITY FOR BIOBLEACHING/BIOPULPING/BIOREMEDIATION OF LIGNIN-LIKE COMPOUNDS OF AGRO-INDUSTRIAL RAW MATERIAL
Lignin is present in plant cell secondary wall, associated to carbohydrates preventing their efficient hydrolysis, and cellulose pulp manufacture basically consists in breaking down the middle lamella of plant cells, individualizing fibers such as cellulose from the other biopolymers. Different levels of lignocellulose are found in plant residues and they ca

8. Cellulose Nanostructures Obtained from Waste Paper Industry: A Comparison of Acid and Mechanical Isolation Methods
The paper industry primary waste is usually deposited in landfills or incinerated. This material has a high content of lignocellulosic components, which could be converted to cellulose nanostructures (CNS). This study aimed to compare compositional (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), thermal (thermogravimetric analysis), morphological (scanning electr

9. Particles of Coffee Wastes as Reinforcement in Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Based Composites
The objective of the present study was to evaluate lignocellulosic particles from sub-products of the coffee industry (coffee parchment - CP and husk - CH) into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) as a promising reinforcing filler in the biocomposites. The effects of type (CP or CH) and content (neat, 10% and 20%) of coffee wastes on the thermal, mechanical, microstru

10. Upgrade of Biofuels Obtained from Waste Fish Oil Pyrolysis by Reactive Distillation
Bio-oil is classified as second-generation biofuel and it is produced mainly through the pyrolysis of a waste lignocellulosic biomass base. The application of this product is still very limited, due to some of its chemical characteristics. This paper presents a proposal for the reduction of the acidity of bio-oil obtained from waste fish oil, previously prod

11. Production of bioethanol using agricultural waste: banana pseudo stem
India is amongst the largest banana (Musa acuminata) producing countries and thus banana pseudo stem is commonly available agricultural waste to be used as lignocellulosic substrate. Present study focuses on exploitation of banana pseudo stem as a source for bioethanol production from the sugars released due to different chemical and biological pretreatments

12. Química e sustentabilidade: novas fronteiras em biocombustíveis
This contribution discusses the state of the art and the challenges in producing biofuels, as well as the need to develop chemical conversion processes of CO2 in Brazil. Biofuels are sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels for providing energy, whilst minimizing the effects of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Ethanol from fermentation of simple sugars and
