1. CHLORDECONE ADSORPTION ON FUNCTIONALIZED ACTIVATED CARBONS: COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY AS A TOOL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE ADSORPTION PROCESS
Chlordecone (CLD) has been used as a pesticide for a long time to control the proliferation of various insects in tropical countries like the French West Indies. CLD was included in 2009 in the list of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by the Stockholm Convention, prohibiting its production and use worldwide. Thus, its removal from water and soils is a sa

2. HPLC METHOD IMPROVEMENT FOR 4-NONYLPHENOL DETERMINATION IN ANAEROBIC REACTORS: DECREASING SOLVENT CONSUMPTION AND WASTE GENERATION
The aim of this study was to develop a chromatographic method for 4-NP determination in anaerobic batch reactors using low amount of organic solvents and also evaluate 4-NP degradation in the presence of different co-substrates. Chromatographic parameters was improved for stationary phase (C-8 column), mobile phase (acetonitrile/water solution 90:10, v:v), c

3. Regenerated Cellulose Membrane from Peanut Shell for Biodiesel Purification
Biodiesel purification by water washing has been proved to be an unattractive process from an economic and environmental point of view. In this work, we propose the use of regenerated cellulose membranes from peanut shell as an alternative in the biodiesel purification. The preparation of the membranes was optimized from a central composite design, resulting

4. COMPARISON OF ARROWROOT (Maranta arundinacea) AND CASSAVA STARCH EXTRACTION IN SEPARATION, CONCENTRATION, AND PURIFICATION USING A ROTATING SIEVE UNDER WATER
ABSTRACT Brazil is home to several plant species that exhibit potential for starch extraction. The arrowroot plant stands out owing to its South American origin. Arrowroot starch is especially important for fine confectionery, which is a high-value niche market. Thus, a small producer could benefit from the high prices of arrowroot starch. However, to have c

5. Activated carbon loaded with manganese and iron for glyphosate adsorption: Kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamic studies
Resumo Carvão ativado granular foi impregnado com 1% de ferro e 0,5% de manganês (m/m) para remoção de glifosato em soluções aquosas. O adsorvente foi caracterizado por microscopia eletrônica de varredura, espectroscopia de energia dispersiva, técnicas de adsorção de nitrogênio e análises de potencial zeta. Estudos em batelada foram realizados pa

6. Urea-based polymethacrylamide purification
ABSTRACT A purification procedure of polymethacrylamide (PMAm) based on the urea feature of being a powerful Hbond breaker is proposed here. Polymethacrylamide was synthesized in water and the final product presents itself as an insoluble gel what is an obstacle to purification. This physical gel, kept together by numerous interchain H-bonds between amide gr

7. Study of fluvial water treatability using γ-polyglutamic acid based biopolymer coagulant
Abstract: Successful treatment of surface water for public use requires the evaluation of raw water and coagulant efficacy. The purpose of water treatment is to remove impurities, allowing its quality to be classified to meet the needs of the population. The conditions of urban rivers that flow though the city of São Paulo, which were already undergoing maj

8. Análise crítica por comparação entre modelos de qualidade de água aplicados em rios poluídos: contribuições à saúde, água e saneamento
RESUMO Este artigo discute a dispersão no ambiente da matéria orgânica presente no esgoto doméstico a partir de modelos oxigênio dissolvido-demanda bioquímica de oxigênio (OD-DBO). O modelo relaciona a poluição de corpos d'água por matéria orgânica e a queda dos níveis de OD. Dá-se destaque à modelagem de diferentes tipos de lançamentos da ca

9. Use of chitosan in the remediation of water from purification of biodiesel
Abstract This article evaluates the efficiency of the degradation of pollutants present in water from the purification of biodiesel, characterized by high content of chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended solids (SS), oils and greases, methanol, soap, and glycerol. The treatment process proposed was of the photo-Fenton type using iron immobilized in chitos

10. Application of a composite ultrafiltration membrane for biodiesel purification
ABSTRACT This study was carried out to investigate the potentialities of the application of membrane technology in biodiesel purification without need of the decantation step. A new composite UF membrane was prepared from poly(vinylidene fluoride) casting solution (17 wt%) containing a sulfonated Carbon (20 wt%). The assays were performed in a dead-end filtr

11. Turbo-extraction of glycosides from Stevia rebaudiana using a fractional factorial design
ABSTRACT Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) Bertoni, Asteraceae, leaf extract has recently called the attention of food industry as a proposal for natural sweetener. The sweet flavor is attributed to the glycosides, in especial stevioside and rebaudioside A, which are the plant main chemical markers. The aim of the work reported here was to optimize the turbo-extra

12. Physical and chemical quality, biodiversity, and thermodynamic prediction of adhesion of bacterial isolates from a water purification system: a case study
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of water purification system and identify the bacteria this system, predict bacterial adherence according to the hydrophobicity of these microorganisms and of the polypropylene distribution loop for purified water. The assessment of drinking water that supplies the purification system allowed g
