13. PEACH PIT CHEMICALLY TREATED BIOMASS AS A BIOSORBENT FOR METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE REMOVAL: MODELING AND SORPTION MECHANISMS
ABSTRACT In this work, the potential of peach pit biosorption in the removal of the drug metformin hydrochloride from water is evaluated. Experiments are carried out in a closed batch system to evaluate the effect of the solution pH (2–10), temperature (25, 35 and 45 °C), stirring (100, 150 and 200 rpm) and chemical treatments. During the study, biosorben

14. Determination of Total Antioxidant Capacity Using Thiamine as a Natural Fluorescent Probe
This work proposes a spectrofluorometric method for the determination of total antioxidant capacity (CAO) in beverage samples, based on inhibition of thiochrome formation (λex = 370 nm, λem = 440 nm); a product of thiamine (vitamin B1) oxidation from K3Fe(CN)6. In the development of the method, gallic acid (GA) was used as a reference, and inhibition of th

15. Application of Nickel Ferrite Nanoparticles in Adsorption of Amoxicillin Antibiotic
According to the World Health Organization, amoxicillin (AMX) is the most widely consumed antibiotic in the world. Consequently, there is great interest in the development of new technologies that allow the removal of this type of contaminant, as exposure to antibiotic residues can cause a variety of adverse effects, such as toxicity and antimicrobial resist

16. Identification of Potential Inhibitors of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Main Protease from Non-Natural and Natural Sources: A Molecular Docking Study
So far, there is neither a vaccine nor a specific antiviral drug to prevent or treat COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) infection. Recent studies have been done to investigate the capacity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors be used in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Some of those drugs have shown to be promising. Natural chemi

17. Cocoa Agro-Industrial Residue (Theobroma cacao) as Inducer of the Production of Fungal Laccase and Kojic Acid for Application in the Biodegradation of 17-α-Ethinylestradiol
Due to the ability to catalyze the oxidation of several substrates, the enzyme laccase has been used in several applications, among them the bioremediation of emerging pollutants. This work evaluate the capacity of the cocoa agro-industrial residue to induce the production of Pycnoporus sanguineus laccase and to apply the enzymatic extract in the biodegradat

18. SYNTHESIS OF MATERIALS PRODUCED FROM SPENT BATTERIES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATION
In this work, alkaline and nickel-metal hydride spent batteries were used as precursors of metals for the synthesis of polymetallic materials. These materials were synthesized via chemical reduction. Materials produced from nickel-metal hydride spent batteries (PM-NiMH) have a nanometric size, whereas the alkaline spent batteries (PM-Alk) have a micrometric

19. Calcium oxalate content from two Amazonian amilaceous roots and the functional properties of their isolated starches
Abstract The calcium oxalate content from two Amazonian amilaceous roots, Xanthosoma sagittifolium and Pachyrhizus tuberosus, before and after cooking were studied in the present work. Calcium oxalate raphides were observed by light microscopy in longitudinal sections from fresh tubers. The functional properties and physicochemical characteristics of isolate

20. GROWTH AND PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF YERBA MATE SEEDLINGS AND MINI-CUTTINGS UNDER DROUGHT STRESS
ABSTRACT Yerba mate is a tree species whose natural distribution occurs in the countries of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, where most of the plantations are concentrated. For the establishment of plantations seedlings are commonly used. But alternatively, there are ex vitro vegetative propagation techniques like mini-cuttings technology, which has the pote

21. ASPECTOS ESTRUTURAIS DE ESFERAS DE QUITOSANA/PVA RETICULADAS COM GLUTARALDEÍDO SUBMETIDAS A DIFERENTES TRATAMENTOS TÉRMICOS
Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin and the most abundant polysaccharide in nature after cellulose. This biopolymer has been applied in different areas due its biodegradability and biocompatibility properties. Modifications of chitosan structure by cross-linking chemical agents can alter its physical, chemical, and morphological characteristics. The

22. Open Science and the Role of Cardiology Journals in the COVID-19 Pandemic
In the current search for renewable energy sources, residual biomass has gained ground in the concept of biorefinery. Furanic compounds such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), furfural (FF) and derivatives such as levulinic acid (LA), obtained from biomass, have emerged as important industrial chemical platforms. In this sense, this work aimed to use pequi ba

24. Synthesis, Characterization, and Synergic Photocatalytic Activity of Amorphous TiO2/Chitosan Carbon Microspheres
In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of new amorphous graphene-like TiO2/chitosan carbon microspheres and its performance as photocatalyst. Four different carbon chitosan microspheres materials were obtained based on the distinctive procedure to incorporate TiO2 and TiOSO4 to chitosan structure by pyrolysis at 600 °C. Detailed characte
