This work aims to investigate the influence of temperature on the textural, morphological and crystalline characterization of bioabsorbents produced by hydrothermal processing of corn husk residues with hot compressed H2O. The experiments were carried out at 175, 200, 225 and 250 ºC, 240 minutes, heating rate of 2.0 ºC/min and biomass/H2O ratio of 1:10, using a pilot scale reactor of 18,927 L. The process is analyzed in terms of yields of reaction products as a function of temperature. The results showed yields of solids ranging from 62.92 to 35.82% (weight), gas yields ranging from 1.49 to 9.59% (weight) and liquid products ranging from 35.43 to 54.59% ( Weight). The yield of the solid phase decreases with temperature, presenting an inflection region between 200 and 225 °C, in which a drastic change occurs, while that of the liquid phase increases, presenting the same inflection region between 200 and 225 °C. The gas phase yield increases exponentially with temperature up to approximately 10% (weight) in the investigated temperature range. Elemental analysis of solid products shows that the carbon content increases, while the oxygen and hydrogen content decreases with temperature. The textural, morphological and crystalline characterization of solid phase products analyzed by TG/TDG, SEM/EDX, XRD and BET. The solid phase product (bio-adsorbent) obtained by hydrothermal processing of corn husk residues at 225 and 250 °C, 240 minutes, and biomass/H2O ratio of 1:10, were chemically activated with 2.0 NaOH solutions. M and 2.0 M HCl to investigate the adsorption of acetic acid solutions (1.0; 2.0; 3.0; and 4.0 mg/mL). The adsorption kinetics investigated at 30, 60, 120, 240, 480 and 960 seconds. The adsorption isotherm showed that chemically activated carbons were able to remove acetic acid from aqueous solutions.

This work aims to investigate systematically the influence of process temperature, biomass-to-water ratio, and production scales (laboratory and pilot) on the chemical composition of aqueous and gaseous phases and mass production of chemical by hydrothermal processing of Açaí (Euterpe Oleraceae, Mart.) seeds. The hydrothermal carbonization carried out at 175, 200, 225, and 250 °C, 2 °C/min, biomass-to-water ratio of 1:10, and at 250 °C, 2 °C/min, and biomass-to-water ratios of 1:10, 1:15, and 1:20, in technical scale, as well as at 200, 225, and 250 °C, 2 °C/min, biomass-to-water ratio of 1:10, in laboratory scale. The elemental composition (C, H, N, S) of solid phase determined to compute the HHV. The chemical composition of aqueous phase determined by GC and HPLC and the volumetric composition of gaseous phase by using an infrared gas analyzer. For the experiments in pilot scale with constant biomass-to-water ratio of 1:10, the yields of solid, liquid, and gaseous phases varied between 53.39 and 37.01% (wt.), 46.61 and 59.19% (wt.), and 0.00 and 3.80% (wt.), respectively. The yield of solids shows a smooth exponential decay with temperature, while that of liquid and gaseous phases a smooth growth. By varying the biomass-to-water ratios, the yields of solid, liquid, and gaseous reaction products varied between 53.39 and 32.09% (wt.), 46.61 and 67.28% (wt.), and 0.00 and 0.634% (wt.), respectively. The yield of solids decreases exponentially with increasing waterto-biomass ratio and that of liquid phase increases in a sigmoid fashion. For constant biomass-to-water ratio, the concentrations of Furfural and HMF decrease drastically with increasing temperature, reaching a minimum at 250 °C, while that of phenols increases. In addition, the concentrations of CH3COOH and total carboxylic acids increase, reaching a maximum at 250 °C. For constant process temperature, the concentrations of aromatics vary smoothly with the temperature. The concentrations of furfural, HMF, and cathecol decrease with temperature, while that of phenols increases. The concentrations of CH3COOH and total carboxylic acids decrease exponentially with temperature. Finally, for the experiments with varying water-tobiomass ratios, the productions of chemicals (furfural, HMF, phenols, cathecol, and acetic acid) in the aqueous phase is highly dependent on the biomass-to-water ratio. For the experiments in laboratory scale with constant biomass-to-water ratio of 1:10, the yields of solid ranged between 55.9 and 51.1% (wt.), showing not only a linear decay with temperature, but also a lower degradation grade. The chemical composition of main organic compounds (furfural, HMF, phenols, cathecol, and acetic acid) dissolved in the aqueous phase in laboratory scale shows the same behavior of those in obtained in pilot scale.
