Abstract Textile sludge is a waste from the effluent treatment of textile laundries and its incorporation into alternative materials has been proposed as a possibility for its disposal. A systematic search was carried out in literature from this perspective, aiming to observe concentrations of waste material and its preparation, matrices used, technological performance and immobilization of textile waste. The matrices used were mortars, concretes and ceramic bricks, in general, deleterious effects were observed on mechanical characteristics of the materials produced. In concrete and mortars, the fineness had an impact on increase in water demand, which increased mixtures porosity; and organic matter and heavy metals, in cement hydration. Recent studies therefore proposed waste material pre-treatment as a favorable alternative. Increases in porosity also occurred in ceramic bricks, however, due to high organic matter content. Regarding waste immobilization, cementitious materials showed satisfactory performance; ceramic bricks, on the other hand, obtained some results outside the normative limits. Therefore, it is necessary to expand discussions regarding the pre-treatment carried out on textile sludge, as well as its impacts on mechanical and environmental performance. disposal perspective preparation mortars bricks general produced demand metals hydration pretreatment pre however content hand limits Therefore

Resumo Olodo têxtil é um resíduo do tratamento do efluente das lavanderias têxteis e sua incorporação em materiais alternativos tem sido proposta como possibilidade para sua destinação. Foi realizada uma busca sistemática na literatura nesta perspectiva, visando observar as concentrações de material residual e seu preparo, as matrizes utilizadas, o desempenho tecnológico e imobilização do resíduo têxtil. As matrizes empregadas foram argamassas, concretos e tijolos cerâmicos, sendo observados, de maneira geral, efeitos deletérios nas características mecânicas dos materiais produzidos. Em concretos e argamassas, a finura impactou no aumento da demanda de água, o que elevou a porosidade das misturas; e a matéria orgânica e metais pesados, na hidratação do cimento. Estudos recentes propuseram, então, o pré-tratamento do material residual como uma alternativa favorável. Incrementos na porosidade também ocorreram nos tijolos cerâmicos, porém, devido ao elevado teor de matéria orgânica. Quanto a imobilização do resíduo, os materiais cimentícios apresentaram desempenho satisfatório; já os tijolos cerâmicos, obtiveram alguns resultados fora dos limites normativos. Portanto, é necessário ampliar as discussões quanto ao pré-tratamento realizado no lodo têxtil, bem como seus impactos no desempenho mecânico e ambiental. destinação perspectiva preparo utilizadas argamassas cerâmicos observados geral produzidos água misturas pesados cimento propuseram então prétratamento pré favorável porém satisfatório normativos Portanto ambiental

ABSTRACT In drip irrigation, the volume of wetted soil represents the amount of water stored and its shape and dimensions should correspond to the plant root system and the spacing between emitters, however in design practice, the effective wetting radius reached by these devices is not considered. The results of the agronomic design obtained with different design procedures are compared and their effects on operating parameters are identified. The analysis and synthesis method was used, based on the comparison of three design procedures, one using the criteria set out by Arapa /2002, the second, taking into account the criteria set out by Cruz-Batista et al. /2015 and the third using the alternative procedure applied in the UEB Consultancy and Design of the ENPA. The results showed the feasibility of using experimental models for the design of drip irrigation systems, given the impossibility of carrying out field tests; these tools make it possible to predict the lateral and vertical advance of water under the emitters. It was found that moisture transfer under the emitters is a function of the volume of water applied, the flow rate of the emitter, the saturated hydraulic conductivity, the initial and residual moisture content and the silt content of the soil. The comparison allowed affirming the validity of using simulation models to estimate the emitter spacing necessary to wet the required soil volume.

RESUMEN En el riego por goteo, el volumen de suelo mojado representa la cantidad de agua almacenada y su extensión, profundidad y diámetro deben coincidir con el sistema radicular de la planta y el espaciamiento entre emisores, sin embargo, en la práctica del diseño, no se considera el radio de humedecimiento efectivo que alcanza estos dispositivos. Se comparan los resultados del diseño agronómico obtenido con procedimientos concebidos para condiciones específicas, y se identifican los efectos que sobre los parámetros de explotación ejerce los parámetros de diseño. Se utilizó el método de análisis y síntesis, a partir de la comparación de tres procedimientos de diseño, uno empleando los criterios expuestos por Arapa /2002, el segundo, teniendo en cuenta los criterios expuestos por Cruz-Batista et al. /2015 y el tercero utilizando el procedimiento alternativo que se aplica en las UEB de Consultoría y Diseño de la ENPA. Los resultados mostraron la viabilidad de utilizar modelos experimentales para al diseño de sistemas de riego por goteo, ante la imposibilidad de realizar pruebas de campo, estas herramientas permiten prever el avance lateral y vertical del agua debajo de los emisores. Se constató que la transferencia de humedad debajo de los emisores, es función del volumen de agua aplicada, el caudal del emisor, la conductividad hidráulica saturada, el contenido de humedad inicial y residual y de limo en el suelo. Esta comparación permite afirmar la validez de utilizar modelos de simulación para estimar la separación entre emisores necesarios para humedecer el volumen de suelo requerido.

The Cuban industry La Purísima produces sauces and dressings for the national gastronomy; but it does not have a process for the deposition of chicken eggshells, as a result, 220 kg of eggshells are dumped daily, which generate a negative impact on the environment. The research evaluates the drying of hen eggshells with protein membrane on a laboratory scale, with a view to revalorizing this waste in the production of a calcium-rich poultry feed supplement. The calcium carbonate content of the shell was determined to confirm the potential application of the residue. The drying curve and drying rate curve was obtained by experimental measurement in a drying oven under aeration at 90 °C. The calcium carbonate content of the residue was 93,33 %. The drying curve was fitted to an exponential mathematical model as a function of the drying constant and the moisture in equilibrium at a temperature of 90 °C. The drying regime of the solid presented a period of decreasing drying rate up to a moisture value of 0,021 kg of water / kg of dry solid, for lower values, this presented a deviation from the exponential function in its rate. The utilization of residual eggshells proved to be an attractive source of calcium carbonate with potential for its use in the production of feed supplement for poultry.

RESUMEN En la Industria cubana La Purísima se producen salsas y aderezos para la gastronomía nacional; pero no dispone de un proceso para la deposición de las cáscaras de huevo de gallina, como resultado, se vierten diariamente 220 kg de cáscaras que generan un impacto negativo en el medio ambiente. La investigación evalúa el secado de las cáscaras de huevo de gallina con membrana proteica a escala de laboratorio, con vistas a revalorizar este residuo en la producción de un suplemento alimenticio para aves de corral rico en calcio. Se determinó el contenido de carbonato de calcio en la cáscara para confirmar la aplicación potencial del residuo. La curva de secado y del régimen de secado se obtuvo por medición experimental en un secadero bajo aireación a 90 °C. El contenido de carbonato de calcio en el residual fue de 93,33 %. La curva de secado se ajustó a un modelo matemático exponencial en función de la constante de secado y la humedad en equilibrio a una temperatura de 90 °C. El régimen de secado del sólido presentó un período de velocidad de secado decreciente hasta un valor de humedad de 0,021 kg de agua / kg de sólido seco, para valores inferiores presentó una desviación de la función exponencial en su velocidad. El aprovechamiento de las cáscaras de huevo residuales resultó ser una fuente atractiva de carbonato de calcio con potencialidades para su utilización en la elaboración de suplemento alimenticio para aves de corral.

ABSTRACT Custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) is a sensitive fruit crop to salinity. One of the alternatives to minimize the deleterious effects of salt stress is adopting mineral fertilization management practices, promoting increased crop tolerance to salts. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate NPK doses to mitigate salt stress in custard apple seedlings irrigated with saline wastewater. The experiment was performed in a greenhouse, adopting a randomized block design in a 3 × 5 factorial scheme, corresponding to three irrigation waters (local-supply water of 0.53 dS m-1 electrical conductivity (control); desalination reject of 3.5 dS m-1; fish farming effluent of 3.5 dS m-1) and five proportions of the NPK recommendation (25, 50, 75, 100, and 125% of the fertilization recommendation), with four replicates. The growth, biomass accumulation, and nutrients were evaluated. Irrigation with desalination reject, and fish farming effluent restricted the growth of custard apple seedlings, regardless of the NPK dose used. The ionic homeostasis of seedlings irrigated with desalination reject and fish farming effluent is optimized by fertilization with 50% of the NPK recommendation corresponding to 50, 150, and 75 mg of N, P2O5, and K2O dm-3, respectively. For the production of seedlings irrigated with local-supply water, the dose of 75% NPK, corresponding to 75, 225, and 112.5 mg of N, P2O5, and K2O dm-3, respectively, is recommended. Annona L.

RESUMO A pinheira (Annona squamosa L.) é uma frutífera sensível à salinidade. Uma das alternativas para minimizar os efeitos deletérios do estresse salino é a adoção de práticas de manejo da fertilização mineral, promovendo o aumento da tolerância da cultura aos sais. Portanto, o objetivo foi avaliar as doses de NPK para mitigar o estresse salino em mudas de pinheira irrigadas com água residual salina. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação, em delineamento de blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 3 × 5, correspondendo a três águas de irrigação (água de abastecimento local de 0,53 dS m-1 de condutividade elétrica (controle); rejeito salino da dessalinização de 3,50 dS m-1; efluente de piscicultura de 3,50 dS m-1) e cinco proporções da recomendação de NPK (25, 50, 75, 100 e 125% da recomendação de fertilização), com quatro repetições. O crescimento, acúmulo de biomassa e nutrientes foram avaliados. A irrigação com rejeito salino e efluente de piscicultura restringe o crescimento das mudas de pinha, independentemente da dose de NPK utilizada. A homeostase iônica das mudas irrigadas com rejeito salino e efluente de piscicultura é otimizada pela fertilização com 50% da recomendação de NPK correspondente a 50, 150 e 75 mg de N, P2O5 e K2O dm-3, respectivamente. Para a produção de mudas irrigadas com água de abastecimento local, recomenda-se a dose de 75% de NPK, correspondente a 75, 225 e 112,5 mg de N, P2O5 e K2O dm-3, respectivamente. Annona L.

RESUMEN El trabajo tuvo el propósito de caracterizar, desde el punto de vista químico, físico, granulométrico y mineralógico, un residuo industrial de hidróxido de calcio generado en el proceso de fabricación de acetileno. Las muestras se analizaron, primeramente, sin neutralizar; luego se realizó el mismo procedimiento, usando ácido sulfúrico a un 98 % de pureza. Para ambos casos, las temperaturas de calentamiento fueron de 500 oC y 900 oC. Para identificar las fases, los patrones de difracción fueron obtenidos usando fuente de radiación de cobre (CuKα, λ=1,5418 Å). Se determinó que el residual presenta CaO y MgO, lo que garantiza su pureza. Al calentarlo sin neutralizar a 500 oC se transforma el hidróxido de calcio y a los 900 oC hay pérdida del carbonato y del agua. En el residual, tanto sin tratamiento como neutralizado, está presente el hidróxido de calcio.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the work was to characterize, from the chemical, physical, granulometric and mineralogical point of view, an industrial residue of calcium hydroxide generated in the acetylene manufacturing process. Samples were first analyzed without neutralization; then the same procedure was performed using 98 % purity sulphuric acid. For both cases, the heating temperatures used were 500 °C and 900 °C. To identify the phases, diffraction patterns were obtained using copper radiation source (CuKα, λ = 1.5418 Å). It was determined that residual contains CaO and MgO, which guarantees its purity; heated at 500 °C, and without neutralizing, calcium hydroxide is transformed and there is loss of water and carbonate at 900 °C. In both untreated and neutralized waste, calcium hydroxide is present.

ABSTRACT Introduction: In the treatment of waste water at the “Desembarco del Granma” textile factory there is a neutralization tank, which resembles a continuous reactor with agitation. This equipment uses H2SO4, which must be replaced by a chemical agent with a lower impact on the environment. Objective: To determine the viability of using the existing reactor at the “Desembarco del Granma” textile factory for the neutralization of residual water when using CO2. Materials and Methods: Continuous stirred reactors were compared at laboratory and industrial levels, where the criterion of geometric similarity was considered. The Aspen Plus program was used to simulate the industrial reactor, considering the kinetics obtained at the laboratory level. The fluid package selected was the UNIQUAC. Results and Discussion: The speed at the tip of the impeller is the same for both reactors and the relationship between the diameter of the impeller and that of the tank remains practically constant, so there is geometric similarity between the reactors. The pH of the residual water neutralized with CO2 was 7.2, showing adequate neutralization. Conclusions: Geometric similarity was evidenced between continuous stirred reactors at laboratory and industrial levels. The pH of the neutralized wastewater in the industrial reactor, determined by simulation, was 7.2. It was proven, with the use of Aspen Plus, that the textile company's industrial reactor can be used for the wastewater neutralization process when CO2 is used instead of H2SO4.

ABSTRACT The paper analyzes the quality of the water supplied by the potable water treatment plant Altos of Quintero to the city of Santiago de Cuba through the study of five consumers. The quality of the parameters analyzed was determined for pH, color, turbidity, residual free chlorine and determination of total and fecal coliforms, resulting in La Colonia, La Cervecería Hatuey and the Combined Milk, which residual free chlorine and turbidity are outside the norm in some occasions. The effects of the quality of drinking water coming from the potabilizer were mainly the deterioration of the infrastructure of the supply networks and poor storage conditions of the liquid in the above mentioned institutions. Options are presented to ensure that water quality is maintained in the different consumption centers and a predictable model is proposed that allows the maximum time that guarantees the minimum level of allowable residual chlorine that a consumer source should have.

RESUMEN El trabajo analiza la calidad del agua que suministra la potabilizadora Altos de Quintero a la ciudad de Santiago de Cuba mediante el estudio de cinco consumidores. Al agua de los seis centros analizados se les determinó su calidad por la medición de los parámetros: pH, color, turbidez, cloro libre residual y determinación de coliformes totales y fecales, resultando La Colonia, La Cervecería Hatuey y el Combinado Lácteo las entidades en las cuales el cloro libre residual y la turbidez se encuentran fuera de norma en algunas ocasiones. Las afectaciones de la calidad del agua potable procedente de la potabilizadora se deben fundamentalmente al deterioro de la infraestructura de las redes de abastecimiento y a las malas condiciones de almacenamiento del líquido en las instituciones antes mencionadas. Se presentan opciones para garantizar que se mantenga la calidad del agua en los diferentes centros de consumo y se propone un modelo predictivo que posibilita determinar el tiempo máximo que garantiza el mínimo nivel de cloro residual libre permisible que debe disponer una fuente consumidora.

ABSTRACT Introduction: A water pretreatment plant for hemodialysis through clarification and dechlorination does not offer the expected flow with the required quality, in terms of suspended solids and residual free chlorine, affecting the useful life of reverse osmosis membranes and microfilters. In this work, operational problems are identified and improvements are proposed to guarantee greater efficiency of the installation. Objective: To propose improvements that guarantee the efficiency of water pretreatment for hemodialysis. Materials and Methods: The water flows supplied to the settler and the filter, and water characteristics were determined and compared with those of drinking water and for reverse osmosis. The effects of removal of suspended solids, turbidity, color, residual chorine and required dose of coagulant were established. The load applied to the double layer filter was checked. Results and Discussion: The inlet pressure to the plant does not allow the design flow to be achieved. The applied dose of coagulant is not adequate and alkali should not be added. It was found that the clarification and dechlorination processes are inefficient. Conclusions: Neither the service demand nor the design flow rate is always guaranteed. The required dose of coagulant is 18 mg/L and there is no need to alkalinize the water. The turbidity and color removal efficiencies are 70% and 60.53% respectively, and the suspended solids removal efficiency in the settler is 45.2%. The output turbidity and free chlorine concentration exceed those required for reverse osmosis membranes.

RESUMEN Introducción: Una planta para pretratar agua para hemodiálisis mediante clarificación y decloración no ofrece el caudal esperado con la calidad requerida, en cuanto a sólidos en suspensión y cloro libre residual, afectándose la vida útil de las membranas de ósmosis inversa y microfiltros. En este trabajo se identifican problemas de operación y se proponen mejoras que garanticen mayor eficiencia de la instalación. Objetivo: Proponer mejoras que garanticen la eficiencia del pretratamiento de agua para hemodiálisis. Materiales y Métodos: Se determinaron los caudales abastecidos al sedimentador y a los filtros y características del agua cruda y tratada, se compararon con las de agua potable y para ósmosis inversa. Fueron determinados los efectos de remoción de sólidos suspendidos, turbidez, color, cloro residual y la dosis necesaria de coagulante. Se comprobó la carga aplicada al filtro. Resultados y Discusión: La presión de entrada a la planta no permite lograr el caudal de diseño. La dosis aplicada de coagulante no es adecuada y no debe adicionarse álcali. Son ineficientes los procesos de clarificación y de decloración. Conclusiones: No se garantiza siempre ni la demanda del servicio ni el caudal de diseño. La dosis requerida de coagulante es de 18 mg/L y no se precisa alcalinizar el agua. Las eficiencias de remoción de turbiedad y color son de 70 % y 60,53 % respectivamente, la de sólidos en suspensión en el sedimentador es de 45,2 %. La turbiedad de salida y la concentración de cloro libre superan los exigidos para las membranas de ósmosis inversa.

Abstract Transporting live fish is a common practice in fish farming, and is certainly one of the main problems that affect fish homeostasis. In this scenario, the use of natural additives has shown promise in improving fish resistance to adverse situations. This study aimed to assess the impact of Ocimum gratissimum L. essential oil (OGEO) on water quality, hematological parameters, and residue levels in the plasma, fillet, and liver of juvenile piraputanga (Brycon hilarii) during a two-hour transportation period. The fish were divided into plastic bags (4 L) and exposed to three different OGEO concentrations (10, 20, and 30 mg L-1), while a control group received no OGEO (three repetitions each). After the two-hour transportation, blood samples were collected, as well as portions of the fillet and liver for quantifying essential oil compounds, which were also measured in the plasma. Oxygen levels remained high throughout the transportation period, in all groups, while the pH decreased. Hemoglobin, MCHC, and MCH increased in fish exposed to OGEO concentrations of 20 and 30 mg L-1, compared to the control group. However, lymphocyte counts and the concentrations of essential oil compounds in plasma, fillet, and liver increased with higher OGEO concentrations.

Resumo O transporte de peixes vivos é uma prática comum na piscicultura, e é certamente um dos principais problemas que afetam a homeostase dos peixes e neste cenário o uso de aditivos naturais tem-se mostrado promissor para melhorar a resistência dos peixes frente a situações adversas. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto do óleo essencial de Ocimum gratissimum L. (OEOG) na qualidade de água, perfil hematológico e níveis de resíduos no plasma, filé e fígado de juvenis de piraputanga (Brycon hilarii) durante um período de transporte de duas horas. Os peixes foram divididos em sacos plásticos (4 L) e expostos a três concentrações diferentes de OE OG (10, 20 e 30 mg L-1) enquanto um grupo não recebeu OEOG. Cada grupo com três repetições. Após o transporte de duas horas, foram coletadas amostras de sangue, bem como de filé e do fígado para a quantificação dos compostos do óleo essencial, que também foram mensurados no plasma. Os níveis de oxigênio permaneceram elevados durante todo o período do transporte, em todos os grupos, enquanto o pH diminuiu. A hemoglobina, CHCM e HCM aumentaram nos peixes dos grupos EOOG 20 e 30 mg L-1, em comparação ao grupo controle. No entanto, a contagem dos linfócitos e as concentrações decompostos no plasma, filé e fígado aumentaram com a concentração mais elevada de OEOG. O uso de 10 mg L-1 de OGEO na água de transporte de duas horas é promissor para garantir a sobrevivência e o bem-estar dos juvenis de Brycon hilarii (pesando 16 g), mostrando-se seguro e eficaz.

MONITORING OF TRIHALOMETHANES (THMs) AND WATER QUALITY FOR PUBLIC SUPPLY IN THE CITY OF CAVALCANTE, GOIÁS. Trihalomethanes (THMs) are organohalogens compounds formed from the reaction between free residual chlorine and natural matter organic (humic substances) present in raw water from surface sources. This study aimed to evaluate the formation of THMs resulting from the application of chlorine for disinfection, in the water treating process for public supply in the city of Cavalcante, GO, located in the region of Chapada dos Veadeiros (Brazil). The results of physical-chemical analyses apparent color, turbidity, pH, free residual chlorine, consumed oxygen, hardness, total alkalinity and THMs demonstrated a positive and strong correlation between the formation of THMs and the hardness of treated water, as well as the chlorine consumed during disinfection process. It was observed an increase in apparent color, turbidity and consumed oxygen in the rainy season. These parameters indicate the presence of organic matter and that present a positive and moderate correlation with the formation of THMs. (THMs CAVALCANTE GOIÁS humic substances sources Cavalcante GO Brazil.

ABSTRACT Water scarcity and the search for alternative water reuse are challenges faced in the Brazilian semi-arid region. The objective of this study was to predict the risk of clogging of drippers based on water quality attributes and to analyze the effects of industrial residual water and supply water on their hydraulic performance. Two experimental benches were set up in a completely randomized design, in split-split plots, with three replicates. Plots contained the types of water (supply water and reverse osmosis reject), subplots contained the types of non-pressure-compensating drippers (NST - 1.6 L h-1, NSL - 1.6 L h-1 and NDT - 1.7 L h-1) and sub-subplots contained the evaluation times of the distribution uniformity coefficient and relative flow rate (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 160 hours). At times 0, 80 and 160 hours, the attributes pH, electrical conductivity, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese were characterized in both types of water. The data were subjected to descriptive analysis, ANOVA and Tukey test at 5% probability level. In residual water, the attributes that represented a risk of clogging for drippers were pH, electrical conductivity, magnesium and total dissolved solids, while in supply water only pH represented risk. The interaction between types of water and operating time significantly affected both hydraulic performance indicators, but there was no significant effect of the dripper type factor. semiarid semi arid region design splitsplit split plots replicates reject, reject , reject) nonpressurecompensating non pressure compensating NST 16 1 6 1. h1, h1 h 1, h- 17 7 subsubplots sub 0 (0 20 40 60 100 120 14 hours. hours . hours) 8 conductivity solids calcium analysis 5 level indicators factor ( 2 4 10 12

RESUMO A escassez hídrica e a busca por alternativas de reúso da água são desafios enfrentados no semiárido brasileiro. Objetivou-se, com este trabalho, predizer o risco de obstrução de gotejadores por atributos de qualidade da água e analisar os efeitos das águas residual de indústria e de abastecimento no desempenho hidráulico de gotejadores. Para isso, foram montadas duas bancadas experimentais, onde o delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado em parcelas subsubdivididas com três repetições. Tendo nas parcelas os tipos de água (água de abastecimento e rejeito da osmose reversa), nas subparcelas os tipos de gotejadores não autocompensantes (NST - 1,6 L h-1, NSL - 1,6 L h-1 e NDT - 1,7 L h-1) e nas subsubparcelas os tempos de avaliação do coeficiente de uniformidade de distribuição e da vazão relativa (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 e 160 horas). Nos tempos 0, 80 e 160 horas efetuou-se a caracterização dos atributos pH, condutividade elétrica, sólidos suspensos totais, sólidos dissolvidos totais, cálcio, magnésio, ferro e manganês nos dois tipos de água. Os dados foram submetidos à análise descritiva, ANOVA e teste de Tukey à 5% de probabilidade. Na água residual os atributos que representaram risco de obstrução para gotejadores foram o pH, condutividade elétrica, magnésio e sólidos dissolvidos totais, enquanto na água de abastecimento somente o pH. A interação tipos de águas e tempo de operação afetou significativamente os dois indicadores de desempenho hidráulico, entretanto não houve efeito significativo do fator tipos de gotejadores. brasileiro Objetivouse, Objetivouse Objetivou se, se Objetivou-se trabalho isso experimentais repetições reversa, reversa , reversa) NST 16 1 6 1, h1, h1 h h- 17 7 0 (0 20 40 60 100 120 14 horas. . horas) 8 efetuouse efetuou pH elétrica totais cálcio descritiva 5 probabilidade ( 2 4 10 12
