Abstract

This project aims to assess the feasibility of applying bio / adsorbents materials, in case sericin and alginate blend as bioadsorbent and clay as an adsorbent, in the removal of residual drug (acetaminophen, diclofenac sodium) present in effluents using static and dynamic adsorption processes systems. It will be investigated the maximum capacity, kinetics and equilibrium adsorption, the affinity and selectivity for drugs, as well as prediction models. The development of research approach the study preparation methods of bio / adsorbents, the characterization of these materials, which involves determining the chemical composition, the physical state of bio / adsorbents as to porosity, size distribution and type of pore surface area, particle size, density, identification of functional groups and resistance to different conditions of the solution as well as pH and temperature parameters. In addition, this project's goals contribute to the development of research in the academic aspect associated with the possibility of formation of human resources and scientific production generation, and further strengthen this line of research. At the same level of relevance, we can answer a relative market demand to new technological alternatives to solving serious environmental issues such as the destruction of natural resources and the increasing number of discarded materials to the environment, including those that have great potential for reuse.
