Preparação e caracterização de biofilmes à base de manipueira para imobilização de caulinita intercalada com ureia

Schllemer, Magalí Aparecida 31 July 2013 (has links)
CAPES / A problemática da geração de resíduos industriais vem se agravando, principalmente pelo fato de que somente uma pequena parcela desses resíduos é corretamente tratada e devidamente destinada em locais próprios. Um exemplo de resíduo com grande potencial poluidor é a manipueira, efluente líquido gerado em grandes quantidades no processamento de mandioca para a produção de farinha e de fécula. A manipueira contém uma elevada carga orgânica na sua composição, com alto teor de fécula residual, resultante do baixo rendimento do processo de extração. Outro grande problema ambiental é a perda de nutrientes aplicados no solo por meio de fertilizantes, principalmente do nitrogênio, decorrente dos processos de lixiviação pela água das chuvas e volatilização pelo aquecimento do solo, que trazem prejuízos financeiros aos agricultores e danos ambientais pelo excesso de nutrientes levados aos corpos hídricos. Aliando-se essas duas questões, o objetivo desse trabalho foi preparar e caracterizar biofilmes à base de manipueira pura, e também de manipueira com a incorporação dos aditivos poli-(álcool vinílico) e alginato de sódio, avaliando-se assim, a influência desses aditivos nas características finais dos biofilmes. Após esta etapa, avaliou-se qual dos biofilmes produzidos obteve características compatíveis para a imobilização da caulinita intercalada com ureia, visando avaliar esse conjunto como fertilizante de liberação lenta de nitrogênio, que prioriza a liberação gradual do nutriente. A partir da caracterização da manipueira utilizada, determinou-se que a mesma possui um teor de 3% de fécula na sua composição, dessa forma, o resíduo foi utilizado como solução filmogênica para formação dos biofilmes. Esses biofilmes foram caracterizados e apresentaram baixas propriedades de barreira ao vapor de água, entretanto, os biofilmes de manipueira pura e de manipueira com poli-(álcool vinílico) possuem boas propriedades mecânicas e alta estabilidade térmica. Os biofilmes de manipueira com alginato de sódio apresentaram características mecânicas inferiores aos citados acima e com menor estabilidade térmica. A partir das características apresentadas, o biofilme de manipueira pura foi escolhido para ser o meio imobilizante da caulinita intercalada com ureia, onde, além da caracterização realizada como nos demais biofilmes, foi também avaliada a liberação do nitrogênio por meio de ensaios de lixiviação e de aquecimento. Observou-se que nos ensaios de lixiviação a imobilização não foi efetiva, perdendo 73,37% do nitrogênio incorporada já no menor tempo empregado no ensaio, entretanto, no ensaio de aquecimento, o biofilme de manipueira pura apresentou uma alta imobilização até 170 ºC, com uma perda de nitrogênio de somente 14,93%. A análise dos resultados mostra que os biofilmes à base de manipueira são uma alternativa viável de reaproveitamento desse resíduo, apresentando boas características, entretanto, quando o emprego é a imobilização da caulinita intercalada com ureia é necessário um maior estudo buscando meios para reduzir as perdas por lixiviação. / The problem of industrial waste generation has aggravating mainly by the fact that only a small portion of that waste is properly treated and properly designed in suitable places. An example of waste with high pollution potential is manipueira, liquid effluent generated in large quantities in manihot processing for the production of flour and starch. Manipueira contains a large organic load in its composition, with high levels of residual starch, resulting in low yield of the extraction process. Another major environmental problem is the loss of nutrients applied to the soil through fertilizers, especially nitrogen, resulting from leaching processes by rain water and volatilization soil heating, which brings financial damage to farmers and environmental damage by excess nutrients carried to water bodies. Allying these two issues, the objective of this work was to produce biofilms based on pure manipueira, and too manipueira with incorporation of additives poly (vinyl alcohol) and sodium alginate, thus assessing the influence of these additives in the final characteristics of biofilms. After this step, we evaluated which of biofilms produced consistent characteristics obtained for the immobilization of kaolinite intercalated with urea, to evaluate this set as a slow release fertilizer nitrogen, which prioritizes the gradual release of the nutrient. From the characterization of cassava used, it was determined that it has a content of 3% starch in composition, thus the residue was used as filmogenic solution for the formation of biofilms.These biofilms were described and presented barrier properties to water vapor low, however, the biofilm manipueira and pure manipueira and manipueira with poly (vinyl alcohol) have good mechanical properties and high thermal stability. Biofilms manipueira with sodium alginate showed inferior mechanical characteristics to those cited above and with lower thermal stability. From the characteristics presented, the biofilm pure manipueira was chosen to be the means of immobilizing kaolinite intercalated with urea, which, besides the characterization performed as in other biofilms was also investigated the release of nitrogen through leaching tests and heating. It was observed that the leaching tests was not effective immobilization, losing 73.37% of the nitrogen already incorporated in the shortest time employed in the assay, however, a test of heating, the biofilm pure manipueira showed high immobilization to 170 ° C, with a loss of nitrogen of only 14.93%. The analysis suggests that biofilms based manipueira are a viable reuse of this waste, with good features, however, when employment is immobilization of kaolinite intercalated with urea requires a larger study looking at ways to reduce leaching losses.
