1. Agro-Industrial Waste Valorization: Transformation of Starch from Mango Kernel into Biocompatible, Thermoresponsive and High Swelling Nanogels
Mango industry processing disposes 40-60% of this fruit as residues, such as peels and kernels. The exploration of bioproducts from these industrial rejects can reduce environmental impact besides of producing high value-added materials. In this scenario, carboxymethyl starch nanoparticles were produced from mango (Mangifera indica L.) kernel starch. These n

2. Utilization of the Corncob Agro-Industrial Residue as a Potential Adsorbent in the Biosorption of Bisphenol-A
The presence of plastic waste in water bodies has led to a growing concern due to the impact on human health. Among the most important plastic additive molecules is bisphenol-A (BPA). On the other hand, micro-pollutant removal processes that make use of agro-industrial waste have aroused the interest of researchers. This is because the accumulation of lignoc

3. Agroindustry Residues as a Source for Cellulose Nanofibers Production
Our study was motivated by the large amount of crop residues produced in Brazil, which represent underutilized waste biomass and a serious threat to the environment because of the landfilling. For example, even though the corn crop is not popular in Brazil, it is produced in the area of around 18-20 million hectares with an average production of 5-6 t ha-1.

4. Yellow Mombin (Spondias mombin L.) Seeds from Agro-Industrial Waste as a Novel Adsorbent for Removal of Hexavalent Chromium from Aqueous Solutions
The objective of this study was to develop a low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbent from agro-industrial waste for the removal of hexavalent chromium in the aqueous medium. The adsorbent (BMC) produced from yellow mombin (Spondias mombin L.) seeds was characterized by the determination of the chemical composition, thermal analysis (thermogravimetric (TG) analys

5. CELLULOSE NANOFIBERS FROM CASSAVA AGRO-INDUSTRIAL WASTE AS REINFORCEMENT IN PVA FILMS
Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) have been applied in composite systems due to the abundance of raw material, excellent mechanical and thermal properties. In this work, CNF was prepared from agroindustrial waste and used in specified amounts in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composites. The FTIR spectra of CNF, chemically purified cellulose (CPC) and Cassava Agro-industr

6. ADDITION OF BOILER CHARCOAL WASTE TO COMPOST FOR USE AS SUBSTRATE FOR VEGETABLE SEEDLINGS
ABSTRACT The recovery of waste from the broiler production chain (BPC) is consistent with the principles of a circular economy. Besides turning waste into organic compost, its use as substrate for the production of vegetable seedlings further increases its economic value. However, it is necessary to adapt its characteristics to enable its use as substrate. T

7. Weathering Resistance of Waterborne Polyurethane Coatings Reinforced with Silica from Rice Husk Ash
Abstract: Waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs) are interesting materials for coatings when compared to solvent-based polyurethanes, once that reducing the concentration of volatile organic compounds that are harmful for human health and the environment. However, the WPU has low weathering resistance. In order to improve this behavior among others properties, ino

8. BROMELAIN SEPARATION AND PURIFICATION PROCESSES FROM PINEAPPLE EXTRACT
Abstract The concern about the effective use of agro-industrial residues from the food industry has increased. Bromelain is an enzyme mainly obtained from the pineapple plant (A. comosus), including its parts normally considered as waste. It is a high value-added product with a wide variety of applications such as in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industr

12. Painéis de partículas elaborados do mesocarpo do dendê como alternativa ao MDF utilizado na construção civil
RESUMO A escassez dos recursos florestais integrada à necessidade de aquisição de produtos mais ecológicos demanda o uso de outros tipos de biomassa, além da madeira no setor construtivo. Diante disso, o mesocarpo do dendê - resíduo oriundo da agroindústria e com grande potencial de utilização para desenvolvimento de novos materiais - surge como al
