Pesticides, when applied responsibly, are essential for agricultural productivity, however, depending on their dosage or frequency of exposure, they can cause numerous problems for human health, in addition to the contamination of soil and surface or underground water. Following this problem, this manuscript aimed to evaluate the adsorption of the herbicide 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) using physically activated granular carbon (CAT) and chemically activated granular carbon with ZnCl2 (CAQ) produced from the endocarp and endosperm of buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.), typical fruit from the Amazon region. The adsorbents were characterized in terms their textural and physicochemical properties through the percentage of ash, moisture, specific surface area (SBET), pore volume (Vtotal), by SEM/EDS, XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, TGA/DTA, the surface functional groups, point of zero charge (pHPCZ) and the surface pH of the carbon. Batch adsorption tests were carried out to elucidate the influence of activated carbon dosage and the effect of solution pH. The adsorption mechanisms and the nature of the process were investigated by studying the kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamics for the coal with the highest performance. The best results for adsorbate removal percentage were CAT (96.93%) and CAQ (92.46%) and the adsorption capacity CAT (29.00 mg.g-1 ) and CAQ (137.70 mg.g -1 ) within 24 hours, pH 2.0 and dosage of 0.25 g of CAT and 0.05 g of CAQ. The CAQ adsorbent showed superior results in removal and adsorption capacity, with its kinetics fitting the pseudo-second order model, with external diffusion being the determining stage of the adsorption process. The isotherms were satisfactorily fitted to the Sips model. The thermodynamic data revealed the endothermic, physical and spontaneous nature of the adsorption process. The adsorption on fixed bed confirmed that the adsorvent mass, concentration of solution and the inlet flow were influent in the adsorption process, highlighting the efficiency of simultaneous optimization tecnic, within the experimental region explored in this work. Both interactions showed that the charcoals produced present high yield, with the development of pores and surface groups, and excellent performance in removing the 2,4-D herbicide, promising substitutes for commercial carbons.

This work is to evaluate the effectiveness of new alternatives for use with natural species of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) seed angico red (Anadenanthera peregrina (L.) Speng) and seed-eye dragon (Adenanthera pavonina L.) also known as ‘falso angico’, sprayed with a particle size of 0.074 mm, sieving for water treatment as natural polymers, helping the flocculation on removal of main parameters in turbidity and color through tests in the scanner equipment using Jar Test static bench adding a chemical coagulant (aluminium sulfate). The powder of polymers were obtained after washing, drying, crushing, grinding, sieving, and used in the coagulation process, flocculation and sedimentation to test the efficiency of each one, when used alone and when used in conjunction with the chemical coagulant, followed by the analysis of physical-chemical parameters pH, turbidity, apparent color, true color and temperature. The results showed that the polymer of okra presented better efficiency in removing turbidity and color compared to the same doses used with other polymers considered and when reducing the dosage of coagulant used in conjunction with the polymers, it was observed a great removal of turbidity, especially with the conjunction of coagulant and polymer of okra, with the removal efficiency of 94% of turbidity and 98% of color with optimum dosage of okra equal to 1.0 mg/L and coagulant equal to 10 mg/L. Therefore it is possible to reduce the dosage of the coagulant when used in conjunction with the auxiliary flocculation, as the polymer of okra can be used for water treatment and facing the possibility of multiple economic and ecological uses in industry.

In this work, different periods of discharge of the sludge stored in the decanters of the ETA Bolonha had been evaluated, with the purpose to recommend the operational routine that presents the best ones results in the efficiency of the decanters. The three experimental phases had been divided in three stages: being in phase 1 evaluated the efficiency of the current operation routine of the decanters what is the total discharge of sludge in 12 in 12 days. In phase 2, the operational routine was modified to a daily discharge during the time of 5 minutes and so it coud take care of the recommendations of the executive project; by the other hand, in phase 3, the operational routine was modified again, discharge of sludge of 5 in 5 days during the time of 5 minutes, in order to getting better results of efficiency. In these three phases it was realized the control of total suspended solids, dimming and color in the effluent tributary and, as well as quantified and characterized the sludge generated in the decanters. With the research it was possible to observe that according to the point of view of efficiency of the decanters, the implemented operational routine in phase 3 (discherge of sludge to each 5 days) it was showed more adequate. By the way, it recommends that tests with other operational routines should be done in order to remove the sludge deposited in the decanters to diminish the losses of water of this operation. Moreover, it is important to study other ways to remove the deposited sludge in the intermediate tray of the decanter to prevent the accumulation of sludge on tray.
