Preparação de suportes micro e mesoporosos para imobilização de lipase e aplicação na esterificação do ácido oléico
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-09-29) QUARESMA, Francisco Lucio Barbosa; NASCIMENTO, Luis Adriano Santos do; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3720461233595226
This study aimed to prepare and characterize heterogeneous catalysts using immobilized enzymes in MCM-41 supports and metakaolin. The supports were functionalized with APTES (an amine) for application to the oleic acid esterification reaction with methanol to produce ester. The characterization of the catalyst was made by XRD, FT-IR, physisorption of N2 and spectrometry of UV. The results show that MCM-41 has been effectively functionalized and immobilized enzymes were, however, there was a partial loss of the hexagonal array of such support, while for metakaolin, both functionalization as immobilization did not occur satisfactorily. Using UV spectrometry, it was found that around 80% of the enzymes were effectively immobilized on MCM-41. This biocatalyst (heterogeneous) was tested in the esterification of oleic acid (molar ratio to oleic acid / methanol was 1:15), at a temperature of 30 °C (100 rpm) for 12h. The obtained conversion was 52% of acid mass to ester, indicating that there viability on the use of MCM-41 amine functionalized for the immobilization of lipase, since catalytic activity of the enzyme was preserved. As for metakaolin, the results showed that, despite having been initially some connection enzymes to metakaolin functionalized, UV spectrometry showed that the anchoring enzyme was not effective in the course of 4 hours, however, new methodological approaches to this material may be applied to ensure the efficient functionalization and immobilization.

Produção de ésteres etílicos utilizando rejeito da neutralização do processo do refino dos óleos de buriti, maracujá e castanha-do-pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-11-27) BRITO, Rogerio da Cunha; NASCIMENTO, Luis Adriano Santos do; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3720461233595226
This study deals with ethyl esters obtainment by using three neutralization soapstock generated from the refining process of Buriti oil, Passion fruit and Brazilian nut (Pará nut). At first, acidification of blots was performed to obtain fatty acids concentration, in order to do so it was used a reagent sulfuric acid leaving to react for 50 min at a temperature of around 85 ° C. Moreover, there was formation of three phases: oil component, fat emulsion and phase acidic water, the supernatant phase (oil component) of interest in the possible presence of fatty acids. Characterization by gas chromatography lees of three samples was performed to quantify the fatty acids present therein, the molar masses were determined and also the acid value. The oil components resulting from the acidification reaction were characterized by a saponification number, acid number and the conversion ratios which have the following values: for burity 96.5%, 94.2% for passion fruit and 90.4% and for Brazilian nut. The acidification of the product (oil component) of burity, passion fruit and Brazilian nut were subjected to esterification reaction, in which ethanol was used as a reactant molar ratio 1:30 (oil: ethanol) and 5% catalyst (in relation to the mass of the oil component). The reaction occurred for 60 minutes at a temperature of about 90 ° C. The same parameters were applied for the three reactions. The characterization of ethyl esters was determined by some quality parameters required by ANP, as acidity index, bulk density, kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C and also the content of ethyl esters present in the sample. The rates of conversion of oil components to ethyl esters showed the following percentage: 93.42% (buriti), 91.71% (passion fruit) and 89.38% (Brazilian nut). Despite the higher conversion into ethyl esters have been observed for the Buriti, samples of passion fruit and Brazilian nutt, also had satisfactory results, as those values revealed that the samples have high potential for reuse serving as raw material for production biodiesel.
