This project approaches an specific type of extractivism: the extractivism of Brazil Nut made in the Extractive Reserve of Cajari river in the Amapá State (RESEX/CA). This project is a continuation of researches made in 2000, having as a main focus the understanding of the dynamic production systems used in RESEX/CA. In This project can be noticed that the changes occurred in the systems in a period from 2000 to 2005,more than economic, the remain of agricultural practicing related to the Brazil Nut extraction are ruled for other / different factors. The historical relation between the forest use with the extractivism and agricultural is very complex, thats the reason it can not be valued only by an economical prism. The information demonstrates that the extraction production units are those which have the smaller economical performance, although, there is not a movement of the families in erase this system. In the opposite/ In despite of, the extraction type had not just being keeper, but had improved/razed representatively from 2000 to 2005, showing attraction of this type to the families in RESEX/CA. However, the agro extractive systems had grown also, showing that some families want to achieve a higher quality level of life trough agriculture. About a direct use of conservation unit, to this extractive reserve must be directed support action for small farmers nut to the RESEX/CA, with the purpose that them may have a decent life, without expending in different activitys but extraction.

Equilíbrio líquido-líquido dos sistemas biodiesel de castanha do Brasil + metanol + (glicerina ou água): determinação experimental e modelagem termodinâmica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-12-18) GONÇALVES, Jefferson Dias; AZNAR, Martín; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5798321645560791; SANTOS, Geormenny Rocha dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0844662601945669
Biodiesel is defined as being a mixture of fatty esters derived of animal fats or vegetable oils, obtained through the process of transesterification with short chain alcohols. During the production is used a quantity in excess of alcohol and a catalyst to propitiate the formation reaction of esters; in this way the output flow of the reactor contains the catalyst, the unreacted alcohol and products obtained by transesterification, biodiesel and glycerin, forming a biphasic system; depending on the solubility of these compounds, will may there be amounts of biodiesel and glycerin-rich phase and quantities of glycerin in biodiesel-rich phase. During the process of purification of biodiesel it is necessary to accomplish a washing with water, to promote removal of the catalyst and impurities of the product of interest. Due to the amount of compounds involved in the production and purification is essential to know the liquid-liquid equilibrium data in order to predict the proportions in which the compounds coexist and subsequently, to proceed with purification under suitable conditions for obtaining biodiesel with greatest efficiency and to assist in the design of the reactor and tanks. The objectives of this work were to produce biodiesel from oleaginous plants native to the region, the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa H. B. K.) and to establish liquid-liquid equilibrium data (ELL) to ternary systems: biodiesel of Brazil nut + methanol + glycerin and biodiesel of Brazil nut + methanol + water at temperatures of 30° C and 50° C. The biodiesel produced was initially characterized in accordance with the standards of the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) using physicochemical methods. The data obtained were afterward correlated with NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic models for the calculation of the coefficient of activity of each component in the liquid phase, with new energetic interaction parameters obtained. The results obtained from the modeling were satisfactory, and was observed that the NRTL model represented better the experimental data.

Processing of Brazil-nut flour: characterization, thermal and morphological analysis
(2010-05) SANTOS, Orquídea Vasconcelos dos; LOPES, Alessandra Santos; AZEVEDO, Glaucinéia Oliveira; SANTOS, Ângela Maria Chagas
The Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsea H. B. K.) is noteworthy for its high content of lipids and proteins of elevated biological value and these factors justify the need for further research and incentives for the manufacturing of new trade products. In the present study we sought new forms of technological use of these nuts by the food industry, through their processing as flour, with no alteration in its energy content. The results after its elaboration showed a product with high energy value (431.48 kcal.100 g–1), protein content of 45.92 g.100 g–1, and fiber of 17.14%. The thermal analyses indicate that the introduction of another protein component, such as soy protein isolate, does not alter the reactions or thermal behavior. On the other hand, morphological analyses revealed granular structures similar to the structure of globular proteins. It was observed that after processing to obtain the flour, the product maintains its protein-energy content, as well as its characteristics when subjected to high temperatures.

Produção de carvão ativado a partir da biomassa residual da castanha do Brasil (Bertholletia excelsa L.) para adsorção de cobre (II)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-09-20) MELO, Selma dos Santos; SILVA, Denilson Luz da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241759369873376
Activated carbon was produced from the Brazil nut bark (Bertholletia excelsa l.) to be used in the cooper (II) removing, in adsorption process in bath system. The bark is a waste material from the chestnut improvement which was collected, selected, washed in running water and then it was dried up in stove at 150 °C in 24 h. The carbons were charred at 400 °C for 3h and thermally activated at 800 °C in 1, 2 and 3 hours time when they received its encodings CA1, CA2 and CA3 respectively. Then they were characterized as: the specific superficial area, volume and pores size, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled to EDS (energy dispersive X-ray system) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy FTIR). Preliminary tests were performed to assess the carbon efficiency as cooper (II) removing in synthetic solution of 50 mg L-1 initial concentration. As the results were satisfactory to CA1, CA2 and CA3 (93,43, 97,23 and 96,92 % to those carbons), decided by what had higher removing percentage of. The CA2 was produced and characterized as: the real and apparent densities, porosity in fixed bed, pH, moisture (wet basis), ashes, fixed carbon and functional groups by Boehm method. There were preformed tests to determine the cooper (II) efficiency removing concerning the carbon particle diameter influence, pH of the solution, contact time influence and variation of the initial concentration. The results of higher removing percentage were to diameter 0,595≤D≤1,19 mm, pH 5,09, in time of 5 min and concentrations of 50, 100 e 150 mg L-1. The adsorption kinetic study that best fit according to data was pseudo-second order model. The experimental data that presented good fit according to mathematical models of Langmuir and Frendlich isotherm. In this sense, was obtained activated carbon at a low cost from the Brazil nut bark which one showed a good efficiency in cooper (II) removing process and also allowing the using in the effluents treatment.
