The Wastes (sludge) generated in the Water Treatment Plants (WTP) and fly ash from coal-fired power plants cause problems by the amount and concentration of harmful substances in them. Thus, this study aimed to produce synthetic aggregates using sludge WTP Bolonha (Belém/PA) and fly ash assessing their technical and environmental viability. The composition of the synthetic aggregates consisted of a high concentration of these residues in mixture with clay to molding and sintering at temperatures of 1200°C and 1250°C. The physical, mineralogical and microstructural analyzes of the synthetic aggregate were performed. Two concrete were produced, one with synthetic aggregate, and other references. In concrete were assessed their physical and mechanical properties in fresh and hardened state, and their microstructures. For the characterization of the concrete waste leaching and dissolution testing were performed. Synthetic aggregates were classified as lightweight aggregate for its low bulk density (<2.0 g / cm3) according to NBR 7211 (ABNT, 2009). The concrete produced with sintered aggregate (AGS-02) at 1250 °C was classified as non structural lightweight concrete according to the norms NBR 6118 (ABNT, 2014) and NBR 8953 (ABNT, 2015). The concrete of waste were classified as waste class IIB, non-hazardous and inert by NBR 10004 (ABNT, 2004) and within the limits of Resolutions No. 20/1986 and 430/2011 CONAMA into rivers class 2. It is noteworthy the synthetic aggregate meets the demands of the construction industry, reduces the consumption of raw materials and offers an alternative to the final disposal of waste.

Growing environmental concern has driven the development of alternative materials from renewable resources. The vegetable fibers have been used in various economic sectors to replace synthetic fibers. Vegetable fibers offer advantages such as low cost, are not toxic and low density. Hard particles are added the polymer to increase the modulus, increase the thermal conductivity of the composite as well as can increase toughness. This work has as objectives the mechanical analysis (tensile, flexural and impact), physical analysis (apparent density, porosity and water absorption), flame retardance analysis (flammability test) and morphological electron microscopy (scan) of the pure matrix, reinforced polymeric composite with flotation residue of copper ore, the polymeric composite reinforced with banana fibers and the hybrid polymeric composite reinforcement banana fibers and residue copper. The manufacture of the composites was performed by the manual process (hand lay-up) at room temperature, under pressure and using a standard metal mold. 10 specimens of the test piece for each fraction and the pure polymer matrix were manufactured. The polymer composites were manufactured by following its mass fractions: the fibers vary by 1%, 2% and 3%, the copper residue ranging in 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%, and the hybrid composite with 1% and 2% fiber with addition of 10% and 20% copper residue. The addition of the residue particles significantly increased the value of apparent density of the composite, in turn caused the decrease of the apparent porosity and water absorption. For the tensile tests the compound showed a significant better result was reinforced with 1% banana fiber with 38,50 MPa. Polymeric composites reinforced with 2% banana fiber, reinforced with 40% copper residue, and the hybrid composite with 2% fiber and 20% copper residue showed the best maximum flexural strain results with 156,03 MPa, 153,21 MPa and 198,16 MPa, respectively. And for the impact test, the composite that obtained the best results among the samples tested was the hybrid composite with 2% banana fiber and 20% copper residue with 21,26 kJ/m². The composites were not classified as flame retardant material, despite all they HB rating, they did not fit within the classification according to UL 94. The mechanical properties were evaluated from the tests carried out and the fractured surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy, in which the predominant mechanisms of failure in the composites that presented the best results were breaking of the fibers and for the fractions of 30% and 40% there was a better dispersion of the particles inside the matrix allowing the improvement of its properties.

Obtenção de extratos da polpa de açaí (Euterpe oleracea) por extração supercrítica: isotermas de rendimento global, atividade alelopática dos extratos, enriquecimento de antocianinas e compostos fenólicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-10-04) BATISTA, Camila de Cássia Rodrigues; MACHADO, Nélio Teixeira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5698208558551065; CARVALHO JUNIOR, Raul Nunes de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5544305606838748
Açaí is one of the most popular functional foods of the Amazon, widely consumed in Brazil and became known in other countries, especially due to the many benefits it has for a wide use in the growing market for nutraceuticals. Açaí extracts derived have a number of components with antioxidant, vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory and energy. Among the appropriate technologies in the processes, supercritical technology has become advantageous to obtain extracts with higher quality, adding value to products and by-products of the process. This work presents as objective a study of the supercritical extraction process of acai pulp to obtain extracts rich in bioactive compounds. A evaluation of the variables of the supercritical extraction process with CO2 (temperature, pressure, and solvent density) of Açai pulp showed the conditions that maximize the amount extracts (lipid fraction) obtained, and enable the concentration anthocyanins in açai pulp defatted for subsequent extraction of these compounds. The extracts obtained from extraction with CO2 were evaluated for fatty acid composition and allelopathic activities. The overall yield isotherms showed that the maximum amount of extract obtained in the process was in the condition of 70°C/490 bar followed by the condition of 50°C/350 bar.
