Caracterización nutricional de la fermentación en estado sólido de caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum) con diferentes niveles de inclusión de harina de granos de Canavalia (Canavalia ensiformis), 2015

Se estudió el efecto de adicionar harina de grano de Canavalia sobre la fermentación en estado sólido (FES) de la caña de azúcar (Sacchacanavalia) como forma de mejorar su valor nutricional, Se utilizó un diseño completamente al azar (DCA) con cuatro tratamientos y tres repeticiones. Caña de azúcar (T1). Los niveles de inclusión de harina de grano de Canavalia (Canavalia ensiformis) fueron 5% (T2), 7% (T3) y 10% (T4). Las variables estudiadas fueron Temperatura ambiental (TA), Temperatura de fermentación (TF), y pH, análisis bromatológicos: materia seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB), fibra detergente neutro (FDN) y digestibilidad In vitro de la materia seca (DIVMS). Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que la TA presentó variación a lo largo del día, afectando más la fermentación de saccharina rústica en comparación a sacchacanavalia. La TF fue más estable en los tratamientos de Sacchacanavalia (<32°C) respecto a saccharina rústica (>32°C). El pH que presentó sacchacanavalia se mantuvo en rangos entre los 9.23 a 9.80 en cambio la saccharina rústica fue inferior a 7. Se encontró diferencias (p<0.01) para MS inicial, no así para MS final (p>0.05). Se encontraron diferencias para PB (p<0.01) siendo mayor para el T4 (12.6%) e inferior para el T1 (2.2%). La FDN mostró una p<0.05, siendo mayor para T4 (42.5%) e inferior para T2 (36.2%), sin embargo T1 (39.2%) no difiere de ningún tratamiento. La DIVMS no mostró diferencias entre los tratamientos (p>0.05). La adición de harina de grano de Canavalia mejora la FES de la caña de azúcar y a su vez mejora el valor nutricional de la misma, lo que lo hace un alimento de mejor valor al compararlo con caña de azúcar.

Intercambio iónico en estado sólido de cobre sobre zeolitas

La creciente preocupación por reducir las emisiones de CO2, responsable entre otros del efecto invernadero, ha promovido el desarrollo de vehículos de bajo consumo de combustible, como son los vehículos ligeros, híbridos y vehículos con motores diésel. Los motores diésel tienen varias ventajas sobre los motores de gasolina: menor consumo de combustible (menor producción de CO2), mayor par motor y mayor durabilidad. Sin embargo, la efectividad de los catalizadores de estos vehículos a la hora de eliminar los NOx producidos durante la combustión es limitada, por lo que se buscan nuevas alternativas a los catalizadores clásicos, que puedan eliminar en mayor medida estos compuestos, como la tecnología SCR. Los catalizadores estudiados para esta tecnología son zeolitas intercambiadas con metales de transición, como son el Cu o el Fe, puesto que presentan una muy buena relación entre conversión de los NOx y estabilidad a altas temperaturas.

Reação de estado sólido em multicamadas de Fe-Zr

Filmes finos de Fe-Zr na geometria de multicamadas foram tratados termicamente variando-se a temperatura (350ºC e 500ºC) e o tempo de tratamento (10min a 72h). As fases formadas por Reação de Estado Sólido (RES) em multicamadas com três composições totais diferentes (Fe0.67Zr0.33, Fe0.50Zr0.50, Fe0.33Zr0.67) foram analisadas por espectroscopia de retroespalhamento de Rutherford, difratometria de raios-X e espectroscopia Mössbauer. Verificou-se que a primeira fase formada é sempre uma fase amorfa de composição aproximada 50%at Fe. A fração Mössbauer desta fase, em função do tempo de tratamento térmico a 350ºC, foi traçada para as três composições. Também foram identificadas as fases cristalinas Fe2Zr e FeZr3. A seqüência de fases formadas revelou depender da composição da multicamada como-depositada e também da temperatura de tratamento. O diagrama esquemático de Energia Livre de Gibbs foi proposto de forma a comportar os resultados experimentais. Um modelo de crescimento planar de fases reagidas na interface de pares de reação foi aplicado às condições do crescimento multifásico observadas no presente trabalho.

Protótipo de um microgerador termoelétrico de estado sólido: cogeração a gás

The thermoelectric energy conversion can be performed directly on generators without moving parts, using the principle of SEEBECK effect, obtained in junctions of drivers' thermocouples and most recently in semiconductor junctions type p-n which have increased efficiency of conversion. When termogenerators are exposed to the temperature difference (thermal gradient) eletromotriz a force is generated inducing the appearance of an electric current in the circuit. Thus, it is possible to convert the heat of combustion of a gas through a burner in power, being a thermoelectric generator. The development of infrared burners, using porous ceramic plate, is possible to improve the efficiency of heating, and reduce harmful emissions such as CO, CO2, NOx, etc.. In recent years the meliorate of thermoelectric modules semiconductor (TEG's) has stimulated the development of devices generating and recovery of thermal irreversibility of thermal machines and processes, improving energy efficiency and exergy these systems, especially processes that enable the cogeneration of energy. This work is based on the construction and evaluation of a prototype in a pilot scale, for energy generation to specific applications. The unit uses a fuel gas (LPG) as a primary energy source. The prototype consists of a porous plate burner infrared, an adapter to the module generator, a set of semiconductor modules purchased from Hi-Z Inc. and a heat exchanger to be used as cold source. The prototype was mounted on a test bench, using a system of acquisition of temperature, a system of application of load and instrumentation to assess its functioning and performance. The prototype had an efficiency of chemical conversion of 0.31% for electrical and heat recovery for cogeneration of about 33.2%, resulting in an overall efficiency of 33.51%. The efficiency of energy exergy next shows that the use of primary energy to useful fuel was satisfactory, although the proposed mechanism has also has a low performance due to underuse of the area heated by the small number of modules, as well as a thermal gradient below the ideal informed by the manufacturer, and other factors. The test methodology adopted proved to be suitable for evaluating the prototype

Dispersões sólidas de sinvastatina: preparação, caracterização, no estado sólido utilizando técnicas emergentes e estudo de estabilidade

This thesis aimed to assess the increase in solubility of simvastatin (SINV) with solid dispersions using techniques such as kneading (MA), co-solvent evaporation (ES), melting carrier (FC) and spray dryer (SD). Soluplus (SOL), PEG 6000 (PEG), PVP K-30 (PVP) e sodium lauryl sulphate (LSS) were used as carriers. The solid dispersions containing PEG [PEG-2(SD)], Soluplus [SOL-2(MA)] and sodium lauryl sulphate [LSS-2(ES)] were presented with a greater increase in solubility (5.02, 5.60 and 5.43 times respectively); analyses by ANOVA between the three groups did not present significant difference (p<0.05). In the phase solubility study, the calculation of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) revealed that the spontaneity of solubilisation of SINV occurred in the order SOL>PEG >PVP 75%>LSS, always 80%. The phase diagrams of PEG and LSS presented solubilization stoichiometry of type 1:1 (type AL). The diagrams with PVP and SOL tend to 1:2 stoichiometry (type AL + AP). The stability coefficients (Ks) of the phase diagrams revealed that the most stable reactions occurred with LSS and PVP. The solid dispersions were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), particle size distribution (PSD), near-infrared spectroscopy imaging (NIR-CI) and X-ray diffraction of the powder using the Topas software (PDRX-TOPAS). The solid dispersion PEG-2(SD) presented the greatest homogeneity and the lowest degree of crystallinity (18.2%). The accelerated stability study revealed that the solid dispersions are less stable than SINV, with PEG-2(SD) being the least stable, confirmed by FTIR and DSC. The analyses by PDRX-TOPAS revealed the amorphous character of the dispersions and the mechanism of increasing solubility

Estudo da produção de pectinase por fermentação em estado sólido utilizando pedúnculo de caju como substrato

Pectinolytic enzymes, or simply pectinases, are complex enzymes that degrade pectic polymers. They have many uses, such as fruit juice extraction and purification, textile fiber treatment and vegetal oil extraction. The aim of this work was to study the kinetics of pectinases production by solid-state fermentation, using dry cashew apple residue as substrate and the microorganism Aspergillus niger CCT 0916. The influence of the initial medium moisture and medium supplementation with a source of nitrogen and phosphorus was evaluated using the factorial experimental planning and response surface methodology. Ammonia sulphate and potassium phosphate were used as nitrogen and phosphorus source, respectively. The variables time of contact (T) and ratio volume solvent/fermented medium (RZ), in systems with and without agitation, were evaluated in order to study the best extraction condition of the produced enzyme. Washed and unwashed cashew apple residues were tested as the growth medium. The unwashed residue was obtained by drying the residue after the extraction of the juice, while the washed residue was obtained by water washing 5 times using the proportion of 1 kg pulp/2 liters of water. Samples were taken every 12 hours for moisture content, pH, protein, reducing sugars, polygalacturonase activity (PG) and viscosity reduction. The physical-chemical composition of the residues had different sugar and pectin levels. For the unwashed residue, the peak activity was reached with 40% of initial moisture content, 1% of nitrogen supplementation without phosphorus addition after 30 hours of process. These conditions led to 16 U/g of PG activity and 82% of viscosity reduction. The calculated models reached similar values to the experimental ones in the same process conditions: 15.55 U/g of PG and 79.57% of viscosity eduction. Similarly, the greatest enzyme production for washed residue was reached with 40% initial moisture content, 1% nitrogen supplementation without phosphorus addition after 22 hours of cultivation. In this condition it was obtained polygalacturonase activity of 9.84 U/g and viscosity reduction of 81.36%. These values are close to experimental values that were of 10.1 U/g and 81%, respectively. The conditions that led to the best PG activity results was the agitated one and the best extraction condition was obtained with 100 minutes of solvent/medium contact and RZ of 5 (mL/g)
