Current analysis investigates thin layer drying experiments on passion fruit seeds. Drying characteristics of passion fruit seeds were examined using ambient air for temperature range between 40 and 65ºC and air flow velocity range between 0.6 and 1.2 m s-1. The semi-empirical models were then fitted to the drying data by Bayesian inference, based on the ratios of the difference between the initial and final moisture contents and equilibrium moisture content. The effective diffusivity varied between 1.70 x 10-10 and 4.68 x 10-10 m2 s-1 with temperature and air flow rate increase. Temperature dependence on the diffusivity coefficient was described by an Arrhenius-type relationship. The activation energy for moisture diffusion was 24.36, 35.24 and 13.86 kJ moL-1 for drying air speeds respectively equal to 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 m s-1.

- Abstract
There has been an evolution of the explanations on the results of research on human learning and how digital technologies have supported the design of more efficient learning environments. Previous theories such as Richard Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia learning and John Sweller's cognitive load theory have gained signification attention and remain the two main theories within the multimedia learning field. However, there has not yet been a book compiled of several investigations on the specific 4C-ID model that covers different domains of knowledge. The 4C-ID model combines the two main theories of Richard Mayer and John Sweller to advance the field of learning and instruction. 4C-ID Model and Cognitive Approaches to Instructional Design and Technology: Emerging Research and Opportunities explores the behavioral and constructivist approaches to learning and instruction and focuses mainly on the particular cognitive approach and resulting theories and insights of the 4C-ID model. The chapters present the results of three experimental studies applied to the teaching of electrical circuits, initiation to computer programming using the Alice microworld, and computer programming using Python textual language. This book is a valuable resource tool for computer programmers, computer scientists, teachers, educational psychologists, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the various approaches to learning and instruction in terms of the 4C-ID instructional model.

This work examines some aspects of sugarcane bagasse pyrolysis. Fixed bed pyrolysis was performed varying the final process temperature. Product yields and the variation of quality properties (calorific values) of bio-oil, biochar, and non-condensable gas were investigated. A mathematical model to simulate the trend of temperature that maximizes a marginal gain was developed consideringthe regression equations for yields and prices of products (related to market prices and calorific value of conventional fuels) and for the amount of biomass used to supply energy to the process. Two methodologies were adopted to calculate the optimum process temperature. The results showed very close temperatures (600 and 602 °C) for the best performing simulations of endogenous and fixed prices methods,with little difference between the yields of products, but with good variation between the marginal gains($124.9/tonne and $129.8/tonne). Finally, the results of endogenous prices method for the fixed bed reactor were compared to the vacuum and fast pyrolysis reactors. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

Sericin is a protein present in the cocoon of silkworm silk ( Bombyx mori ), usually discarded in the effluent from the spinning process, and alginate is a linear natural polysaccharide, extracted mainly from brown algae. Both biomaterials have been attracting attention due to their properties. Sericin isolated present weak structural properties, but its strongly polar side groups enable easy cross-linking, polymerization and blending. The use of blends provides an improvement in the physical characteristics of the materials produced with the protein, and the use of alginate has an advantage because it has affinity for a variety of cations. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the particles produced from the blend between sericin and alginate and its properties. The gelation technique, dripping blends in aqueous and alcoholic solutions of CaCl 2 , was applied to produce particles with 1%, 2% and 3% w/V of alginate in sericin solution (2.5% w/V). Posteriorly, the thermal cross-linking process at 40, 100, 125 and 150 °C was performed in sericin-alginate particles and the biosorption processes of these particles for zinc and copper metals were investigated. The evaluation of the data was carried out through the measurement of water solubility, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) spectra and adsorption capacity. Water solubility of particles decreased when they were produced in alcoholic solution, which is probably related to the formation of β-sheet structure confirmed by FTIT analyses. Also, it was observed that adsorption capacity increased when the particles were produced in alcohol solution. The thermal cross-linking process increased the adsorption capacity until 100 °C, with values around 75% and 65% of reduction of Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ , respectively. From temperature 100 °C all particles got higher degree of browning with an increase of solubility and decrease of adsorption capacity by particles because of the degradation of protein/polysaccharide.

The antihypertensive losartan potassium is an emerging pharmaceutical contaminant that has been traced in aquatic media; hence, up-to-date water treatment methods are urged. This paper is the first of its kind to examine losartan uptake by adsorption using an organophilic clay, Spectrogel. In comparison, a micro-grain activated carbon (μGAC) was employed. Adsorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics were examined and characterizations were performed. Pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, external diffusion, surface diffusion and pore diffusion models were adjusted to kinetic data, and Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich models were correlated to isotherms. Adsorption mechanisms were elucidated for surface features and surface chemistry. The latter was unraveled to have a crucial role on losartan removal by Spectrogel. The best adsorbent dosage was stablished as 6 g/L and initial solution pH (2.5–10) had no significant impact on the process. Spectrogel exhibited faster kinetics and superior maximum adsorption capacity (∼2200 min, 0.0820 mmol/g) than μGAC (∼2600 min, 0.0441 mmol/g). Compared to water or ethanol eluents, methanol showed the highest efficiency as desorption agent (65%). The results indicate that Spectrogel organoclay is a potential non-traditional adsorbent for losartan remediation.

A stochastic model is used to simulate the combustion process in a turbulent inverse diffusion flame (IDF) composed of a laminar diffusive flame and a premixed turbulent flame. In addition, the influence of the turbulence intensity at the outlet of the air injection nozzle was analyzed with this model. The IDF consists of one central air injection and 12 peripheral butane injections. The interaction between the aerodynamics and the thermochemical is implemented by a transport equation for a joint probability density function (PDF). For the chemical kinetic, two different global chemical reaction schemes are used: the first consists of a one-step reaction and the second involves a two-step reaction. The numerical solution of the aerodynamic is found via the finite volume method, and a cell-based Monte–Carlo particle method is used for the transport equation of the joint PDF. The numerical results are compared with experimental data.. The comparison between both global chemical reaction schemes qualitatively represents the thermal structure of the flame. Nevertheless, the two-step reaction demonstrated good accuracy for the temperature distribution of the flame, so the two-step reaction was used to analyze the behavior of the flame. The results show the increase of turbulence intensity does not modify the thermal structure of the IDF, but the dimension and temperature distribution of the flame present significant changes with an increase in the turbulence intensity.

- Abstract
RESUMO Dentre os processos de separacao industriais, a destilacao e um dos maiores consumidores de energia. Justifica-se assim a busca de metodos para otimizacao energetica de colunas de destilacao. A otimizacao de parâmetros como estagio de alimentacao, condicao termica da alimentacao, utilizacao de refervedores intermediarios pode ser obtida por balancos de exergia na coluna, o que por sua vez depende da determinacao de propriedades termodinâmicas consistentes. Neste trabalho, diferentes equacoes de estado foram utilizadas para o calculo de entalpia e entropia das correntes internas de uma coluna com o sistema etanol/agua, com a finalidade de identificar modelos que resultem em balancos consistentes de exergia para a coluna. Os resultados mostram que equacoes de estado tradicionais permitem obter balancos consistentes apenas em um conjunto restrito de casos, e que, para corrigir isto, e necessaria a utilizacao de modelos que considerem os valores de entalpia e entropia em excesso.

Nowadays to make the right decision about where and how to request or buy a service, a user is often supported by a mobile device that offers more than simple descriptive data. Nevertheless, not all information on services is fully accessible. The difficulty in keeping track of changes in services' costs causes delays and can result in waste of time and money. In fact, the decision of which service to use usually involves some level of uncertainty and risk. Hence, the user should have access to some form of decision support system that could be easily available through mobile applications. The power of these devices allows to apply knowledge areas already developed, carrying statistics with dynamic and interactive graphics, thus allowing for a more systematic control of services and corresponding expenses. In this work we analyze the existing related work on mobile decision support systems and propose an architecture of a decision support system using Mobile App Statistics. Tests were carried out with a car fuel app to support the decision of choosing the gas station at each point. Results show that using the additional statistical information provided users can take better decisions during the request of a service. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ENERGY consumption ,GAMIFICATION ,NONRENEWABLE natural resources ,MOBILE apps ,ACQUISITION of data - Abstract
Excessive electric energy consumption results in high costs for consumers, and often on using non-renewable resources. Additionally, in many cases, it is difficult for the consumer or for the energy provider to determine if one or more equipment is being used efficiently. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to promote awareness about energy consumption. For that purpose, a mobile application with a gamification approach was designed to identify users' behaviors towards the use of energy and, based on the user's answers, offer advices to save energy and promote ecological awareness. The outcome of using gamification on a mobile application with such goals results in a streamlined data collection application that combines information and entertainment. The collected information is being gathered to potentially create consumer profiles that better reflect the user's energy consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A aplicação de argilas para adsorção de metais pesados presentes em efluentes tem sido objeto de estudo em muitas pesquisas em virtude das inúmeras vantagens técnicas e econômicas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo obtenção de isotermas de adsorção de níquel e zinco em coluna de leito fixo utilizando como adsorvente argila bentonita calcinada a 500 ºC. Os experimentos para remoção de níquel e zinco foram conduzidos à temperatura ambiente (20 ºC - 25 ºC), pH da alimentação ajustado em 4,5, massa de argila calcinada de 15,5 g, com diâmetro médio de 0,855 mm, vazão de alimentação de 4 mL/min e concentração da solução de metal variando entre 0,5 meq/L a 4 meq/L. Os modelos de isoterma de Langmuir, Freundlich, Langmuir-Freundlich, Radke-Prausnitz, Redlich-Peterson, Sips e Toth foram ajustados aos dados de equilíbrio, sendo que o modelo de Langmuir apresentou melhor ajuste às concentrações de Ni2+ e Zn2+ adsorvido. The use of clays for adsorption of heavy metals in wastewater has been studied in many trials because of numerous technical and economic advantages. This work aimed to evaluate the removal of nickel and zinc in fixed bed column. The experiments for the removal of nickel and zinc were conducted at room temperature (20 ºC - 25 ºC), pH adjusted at 4.5, weight of 15.5 g calcined clay,with an average diameter of 0.855mm, feeding flow rate 4 mL/min and concentration of the solution of metal between 0.5 meq/L to 4 meq/L. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Langmuir-Freundlich, Radke-Prausnitz, Redlich-Peterson, Sips and Toth models were fitted to equilibrium data, and the Langmuir model provided the best fit for adsorption isotherms.

MOBILE app development ,GLOBAL Positioning System ,SERVICE stations ,DATA privacy ,INFORMATION technology - Abstract
In mobile applications, user tracking with Global Positioning System (GPS) can be very beneficial, making life easier for the user, by e.g. finding points of interest nearby, such as gas stations, super markets, restaurants etc. Nevertheless, the location of the user can be misused and hence privacy issues can become a relevant problem in mobile application development. Technically, location is determined either internally by the device or externally by interacting systems and networks. The resultant location information may be stored and used under various conditions and applications can track the position of the user without his/her consent and eventually misuse it for instance with the intent of sending redirected publicity or even getting logs of the user's location. However, the user's location may not always be obtained using the most precise location function available. In this work we discuss and propose different options for the accuracy geo localization in an application can be and uphold that it is up to the developer to decide which method is appropriate or that the the user should have the freedom to define his/her privacy thresholds. These thresholds can be extremely variable both between users and scenarios, and we present a survey to approach this issue. Results show that users are concerned with privacy issues, but they are not necessarily acting accordingly to keep their privacy at a high level of protection. Finally, we point out that developers shouldn't misuse possibilities of tracking and users should be more cautious with application permissions as will be shown in a real case study.

Due to the growth of potential of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), now becomes possible to use this technology in various new generation services such as monitor environment characteristics like temperature, humidity, among others. WSNs are emerging as a new paradigm, gathering information in a collaborative way, where independent sensor nodes collect and share information. In the last few years ubiquitous computing popularity has grown considerably, ambient intelligence and home automation systems are having a good public acceptance. In this context, we developed a mobile application to remotely monitor one WSN, installed at a customer's home. The application's main goal is to interact with a WSN, allowing a user to consult sensor states and receive sensor alerts. Sensor alerts will be received, in case a sensor's threshold value, exceeds the limit. Therefore the user will be notified whenever there are changes in the WSN. Apart the WSN, a base station is also needed for keeping the state of the WSN, store sensor's information and enable communication between the WSN and the developed mobile application via Web Services. This way and having a network connection, the user can check the state of any WSN component, anytime, anywhere. The Android platform was chosen to implement our application, since it is having a great acceptance and continued growth in the mobile market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A pandemia Covid-19 veio mudar a forma e a proximidade com que comunicamos. Uma parte significativa da nossa comunicação, que anteriormente seria presencial, passou a ser digital, nomeadamente recorrendo a videochamadas Contudo as videochamadas em muitas áreas de negócio é necessário exemplificar uma ação, ilustrar instruções ou até ter alguma forma mostrar ou demonstrar um produto que possa não estar fisicamente presente junto a um, ou a ambos os participantes numa conversação. Neste projeto decidi escolher como caso de estudo o exercício físico, que permite o acompanhamento do treino por um profissional sem que tenham de estar num ginásio. Para isso, implementei algumas funcionalidades que possam completar uma videochamada no sentido de tornar o canal de comunicação mais rico. Para escolher que funcionalidades implementar realizei uma pesquisa sobre aplicações de exercício físico disponíveis nas lojas de aplicações e também foi realizado um questionário com profissionais da área para entender se essas funcionalidades fazem sentido. Depois do levantamento de requisitos preparei o servidor e todos os seus componentes: para gestão das videochamadas, para comunicação síncrona e para o armazenamento e a disponibilização de ficheiros multimédia. A interação dos utilizadores é feita através de uma aplicação cliente que disponibiliza as funcionalidades previamente escolhidas. Neste projeto a aplicação cliente usa a plataforma Android e com a utilização de tecnologias como WebRTC e WebSockets foi possível implementar uma aplicação que consiga adicionar funcionalidades novas que conseguem ajudar numa videochamada, os treinadores pessoais. Com base nos resultados e feedback obtidos dos testes com utilizadores posso afirmar que as funcionalidades identificadas e desenvolvidas nesta aplicação são um importante complemento para os treinadores pessoais realizarem treinos através de uma videochamada, sendo que todos os treinadores que realizaram os testes da aplicação referiram que seria uma grande ferramenta de auxílio aos treinos online.

Resíduos ,Secagem - Abstract
Orientador: Meuris Gurgel Carlos da Silva Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Quimica Resumo: Neste trabalho foi realizada a investigação de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (RSS), particularmente de RSS infectantes (RSSI), produzidos em um banco de sangue. O estudo abordou aspectos da geração, verificação de manejo interno, caracterização fisica e microbiológica e avaliação do potencial de um processo de secagem na redução de volume e carga microbiológica, empregando-se RSSI "tipo" e microorganismo padrão. A produção diária de RSS do estabelecimento de saúde foi aproximadamente igual a 229 (kg/dia), dos quais 51 % eram RSSI. A composição média dos RSSI consistiu, principalmente de: plásticos (39%), sangue (19%), papel/papelão (17%) e líquido (12%). Os resultados do estudo microbiológico desses resíduos provenientes de 4 setores do estabelecimento apontaram uma baixa contagem dos microorganismos investigados. Staphylococcus aureus, utilizado como indicador de contaminação foi isolado, apenas em uma amostra de um dos setores, em uma das 5 repetições da amostragem. A avaliação do manejo interno de RSSI, pela técnica de Análise Preliminar de Riscos (APR) mostrou-se adequada e os resultados desta sugeriram a priorização e ações corretivas para falhas de procedimentos que possam causar a exposição de seres humanos aos RSSI não tratado. Resultados da determinação da composição e caracterização fisica dos RSSI reais foram utilizados para a obtenção de um RSSI "tipo" preparado a partir de materiais biomédicos não utilizados, entre outros. Este resíduo foi usado na avaliação do processo de secagem. Esta etapa constou, inicialmente do projeto e instalação do sistema. Resultados da análise das curvas da taxa de secagem de RSSI "tipo" mostraram que o efeito da vazão do ar de secagem foi mais significativo que o efeito da temperatura na secagem do material. Altos conteúdos de umidade inicial da amostra apresentaram efeito significativo na cinética de secagem do resíduo. No estudo de inativação microbiológica por secagem, esporos de B. subtillis foram utilizados como microorganismo indicador (padrão). O sistema apresentou um desempenho satisfatório na inativação da população do microorganismo padrão, 5,0 x 106 (esporos/bandeja), em oito diferentes condições de processo, em um tempo de residência de 70 minutos. A investigação da cinética de inativação térmica do microorganismo confirmou esses resultados, pois o sistema inativou 8,0 x 106 (esporos/bandeja), em um tempo de 42 minutos. Os resultados dessa investigação e da redução do volume, estimada através do parâmetro encolhimento do volume, foram comparáveis aos resultados obtidos a partir de tecnologias de tratamento de RSSI, atualmente em operação Abstract: In this work infectious healthcare waste (IHW) produced in a blood bank facility was investigated. Aspects of IHW such as production, internal handling, physical and microbiological characterization as well as evaluation of a drying process for volume and microbiological load reduction were studied, using surrogate IHW and indicator microorganism for effectiveness testing of the latter. The daily healthcare waste production at the healthcare establishment was approximately 229 kg/day, 51% (by weight) being c1assified as IHW. The IHW average composition inc1uded main1y ofplastics (39%), blood (19%), paper/cardboard (17%), and other liquids (12%) by weight. The microbiological analysis of the IHW produced by four different sectors of the healthcare establishment showed low concentration of the microorganisms investigated. Staphilococcus aureus used in this analysis as a contamination indicator was isolated on1y in one sample from one sector, in one of the five replications of the sampling. The assessment of the internal handling of IHW via the Preliminary Risk Analysis (PRA) technique was found to be suitable and suggested prioritization and corrective actions for procedure failures that may cause exposure to untreated IHW. Results of the IHW composition and physical characterization were used for the attainrnent of surrogate IHW employed to evaluate the drying processo This stage of the work consisted initially of the drying system designing and installation. An analysis of the drying rate curve of surrogate IHW showed that the influence of the airflow was more significant than that of the temperature. However, higher sample initial moisture contents affected significantly the waste drying kinetics. In the microbial inactivation study by drying, B. subti/lis spores were used as indicator microorganism for effectiveness testing of the processo According to resuIts obtained jn this study, the drying process presented a satisfactory performance as evidenced by inactivation ofthe 5,0 x 106 spores/tray, under eight different process conditions for a residence time of 70 minutes. The investigation of the thermal inactivation kinetics of the indicator microorganism confirmed these results, since an indicator microorganism population of 8,0 x 106 (spores/tray) was inactivated by 42 minute residence time. The results obtained in these study as well as the volume reduction by drying estimated for the volumetric shrinkage parameter, were comparable to the results obtained from IHW treatment technologies currently in operation Doutorado Doutor em Engenharia Química

Orientadora : Profª Drª Agnes de Paula Scheer Orientador : Prof. Dr. Marcelino Luis Gimenes Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Tecnologia, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Alimentos. Defesa: Curitiba, 06/12/2013 Inclui referências Resumo: A sericina é uma proteína hidrofílica constituinte do casulo do bicho-da-seda que, durante o processo de degomagem da seda, é descartada como resíduo industrial. Entretanto, possui em sua composição grande parcela de aminoácidos polares que podem ser utilizados no desenvolvimento de biomateriais e produtos de alto valor agregado. Este trabalho apresenta o estudo da obtenção da sericina de alta massa molar por meio de extração aquosa e fracionamento por ultrafiltração; e a avaliação do potencial da sericina como biossorvente aplicado ao tratamento do corante sintético Bordeaux S e de cobre. Os processos de extração foram conduzidos variando a temperatura (80 °C e 120 °C), concentração de Na2CO3 (0 e 0,5 %). Foram avaliados o perfil de aminoácido e o comportamento reológico das soluções obtidas durante a extração em meio aquoso. Soluções contendo sericina obtida pela extração aquosa a 120 °C foram processadas em ultrafiltração com membranas de polissulfona de retenção nominal de 50 kDa em reciclo total, batelada, diafiltração e batelada associada a retrolavagem. As variáveis do processo que influenciam no fluxo de permeado foram avaliadas por meio de operação em reciclo total Do processo em batelada, foram estimados os mecanismos resistivos e mensuradas as perdas de massa por acúmulo na membrana. Sericina em pó, obtida mediante extração aquosa e desnaturação a frio foi utilizada como biossorvente para remoção de corante sintético Bordeaux S e do íon metálico de cobre. A biossorção do corante sintético foi conduzida em batelada, avaliando o pH, as cinéticas e processos de equilíbrio nas temperaturas de 20, 30 e 40 °C. A biossorção de íons cobre foi conduzida em batelada, avaliando o pH, as cinéticas e processo de equilíbrio nas temperaturas de 20, 40 e 60 °C. A extração da sericina por meio aquoso possibilitou um rendimento de extração de 23,99 ± 0,96 % a 120 °C e o perfil de massa molar obtida apresentou distribuição com predominância na faixa de 100 a 200 kDa; enquanto a extração com Na2CO3 proporcionou rendimento de extração de 30,04 ± 0,83 % com distribuição de massa molar inferior a 100 kDa. A reologia das soluções aquosas de sericina sugere comportamento pseudoplástico com aumento da viscosidade ao longo do tempo até agregação da sericina na forma de gel forte. O perfil de aminoácidos apresentou composição majoritária de aminoácidos polares, contendo serina (21,56 %), ácido aspártico (14,0 %), arginina (11,95 %), e glicina (23,2 %). O processo de ultrafiltração promoveu a remoção de sericina de baixa massa molar na corrente de permeado, entretanto, observou-se queda de fluxo da ordem de 90 %. O processo de batelada associada à retrolavagem permitiu a recuperação parcial de fluxo, entre 20 % a 24 % por ciclo. O mecanismo de bloqueio de poros predominante no processo de batelada foi o de bloqueio parcial de poros. As perdas de massa de sericina devido à retenção na membrana foram da ordem de 78,8 % e 81,4 % do montante presente na batelada; nas concentrações iniciais de sericina de 1,0 g L-1 e 3,0 g L-1, respectivamente. A sericina desnaturada mediante processo de congelamento e descongelamento apresentou morfologia não porosa e área superficial média de 18,52 m² g-1. O processo de biossorção de corante Bordeaux S ocorre em pH inferior a 3,5. A capacidade de biossorção obtida para sericina variou entre 192,03 ± 2,46 a 214,06 ± 2,46 mg g-1, para as temperaturas entre 20 e 40 °C. A partir da análise termodinâmica, constatou-se que o processo de biossorção do corante Bordeaux S com a sericina é espontâneo, com energia de Gibbs variando entre -14,19 a -13,46 kJ mol-1; exotérmico e de natureza física com a entalpia de -0,27 kJ mol-1; e processo sem a mudança conformacional, com entropia estimada em 46,12 J mol-1 K-1. O processo de biossorção de cobre foi favorável para pH acima do ponto isoiônico (entre 3,2 e 3,3), com a capacidade de biossorção entre 15,72 ± 0,42 a 21,77 ± 0,22 mg g-1, para temperaturas entre 20 e 60 °C. A partir da análise termodinâmica, constatou-se que o processo de biossorção de cobre com a sericina é espontâneo, com energia de Gibbs variando entre -6,31 a -3,45 kJ mol-1; exotérmico e de natureza química com entalpia de -27,80 kJ mol-1; e processo com aumento do grau de ordenação da superfície ocasionado pela complexação do cobre nos aminoácidos polares, com entropia estimada em -70,48 J mol-1 K-1. O modelo cinético e de equilíbrio com melhores capacidades preditivas para a biossorção do corante Bordeaux S e do cobre foram os modelos de pseudo-segunda ordem e a isoterma de Langmuir, respectivamente. Abstract: Sericin is a hydrophilic protein, constituent of the silkworm cocoon that is removed through a degumming treatment of silk and regarded as waste. However, in its composition has large portion of polar amino acids that can be used in the development of biomaterials and products with high value. The objective of this study was to obtain sericin with high molecular weight by aqueous extraction process and ultrafiltration and to evaluate the sericin potential as biosorbent applied to water treatment of synthetic dye Bordeaux S and copper. The extraction process was done varying temperature between 80 and 120 °C, and Na2CO3 concentration between 0 and 0.5 g L-1. The amino acids profile and rheological behavior of aqueous solution of sericin solution were determinate. Aqueous solutions of sericin, obtained at 120 °C, were treated in ultrafiltration system with polysulfone membrane with nominal retention of 50 kDa in the different operation modes: batch, diafiltration and batch with back flushing. The processes variables which influence the permeate flux were evaluated by total recycling mode operation. From the batch mode operation, were evaluated the resistive mechanisms of permeate flux and loss of sericin due the membrane retention. Sericin powder, obtained from aqueous extraction and cold denaturation, was use as biosorbent to remove Bordeaux S synthetic dye and copper from wastewater. To the biosorption of the synthetic dye was studied the effect of pH at 20°C, kinetics and equilibrium at 20, 30 and 40 °C, while to the biosorption of cooper was studied the effect of pH at 20°C, kinetics and equilibrium at 20, 40 and 60 °C. Hot water extraction process of sericin showed yield of 23.99 ± 0.96 % at 120 °C and predominant molecular weight distribution between 100 at 200 kDa, while the extraction process with Na2CO3 showed yield of 30.04 ± 0.83 % a 120 °C and molecular weight distribution lower than 100 kDa. The aqueous sericin solutions showed pseudoplastic behavior, with viscosity increase over time until the formation of a strong gel structure. The amino acids composition showed high concentration of polar amino acids, with serin (21.56 %), aspartic acid (14.0 %), arginine (11.95 %) and glycine (23.2 %). Ultrafiltration process promoted the removal of sericin of low molecular weight by the permeate stream, however, was observed a decrease of permeate flux up to 90%. The batch operation mode with backflushing allowed the partial recovery of the permeate flux, between 24% and 20% per cleaning cycle. The predominant blocking pore mechanism in batch operation mode was the partial pore blocking and the loss of sericin due the membrane retention were estimated in up to 78.8 and 81.4 % of the initial amount of sericin in batch, for the treatment of sericin solutions with concentration of 1.0 and 3.0 g L-1, respectively. The sericin powder obtained by freezing and thawing processes showed nonporous morphology and average surface area of 18.52 m² g-1. The biosorption of Bordeaux S dye in sericin powder occurs into pH below 3.5. The maximum amount of Bordeaux S adsorbed in sericin ranged from 192.03 ± 2.46 to 214.06 ± 2.46 mg g-1, for temperatures ranging between 20 and 40 °C. By thermodynamics analysis, the process of Bordeaux S biosorption in sericin powder was spontaneous, with evaluated range Gibbs energy from -14.19 to -13.46 kJ mol-1; exothermal process and physical interactions, with enthalpy of -0.27 kJ mol-1; and process without significant conformational change, with entropy estimated at +46.12 kJ mol-1 K-1. The biosorption of copper ions in sericin was favorable only into pH above the isoionic point (pH between 3.2 and 3.35) with the amount of cooper adsorbed range from 15.72 ± 0.42 to 21.77 ± 0.22 mg g-1, at temperatures between 20 and 60 °C. According with thermodynamics analysis, the copper biosorption is a spontaneous process, with Gibbs energy variation between - 6.31 to -3.45 kJ mol-1; exothermic process and chemical interaction, with enthalpy of - 27.8 kJ mol-1; and process with significant change in superficial conformation due the complex bond between the polar amino acids and metal, with entropy estimated at - 70.48 kJ mol-1 K-1. The best fit model to kinetic and equilibrium data for Bordeaux S and copper adsorptions was the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm, respectively.
