The goal of this work is to produce drinking water using atmospheric air as a reservoir. Atmospheric humidity and droplets are a significant source of fresh water, especially at low levels of relative humidity typical of arid environments. Synthetic superabsorbent polymers are hydrophilic three-dimensionally cross-linked materials characterized by considerable durability and significant w…
³-polyglutamic acid (³-PGA) is a water soluble biodegradable anionic biopolymer that is edible and non-toxic to humans and the environment. Due to these special characteristics, it has been applied in the environmental sector. ³-PGA is naturally present in the mucilage of fermented soy products consumed in Asian countries; therefore, soy and its derivatives are potential substrates for th…
The environmental health assessment of contaminated sites from hazardous wastes is an integrant part of the process of contaminated land management and a result from public health and ecosystems risk management, which uses data from risk assessments, besides taking into consideration other factors as federal and state regulations, funds, treatment technologies and integration with the com…
The goal of this work is to produce drinking water using atmospheric air as a reservoir. The prototype will be created by assembling a metal structure upon which to fix the polymer plates, as well as a ventilation system. When daylight ends, the plates are placed in the desorption system in an adapted oven. The new water production system is completely passive, requiring only sunlight. Th…
The biodegradable materials arise as an alternative to reduce the generation of waste, as in the treatment of public water supply, where aluminum sulfate generates high volume of sludge. This work aims to evaluate the production of acid ³-polyglumatic from the fermentation of soybean. The experiments will consist in assessing the efficiency of Bacillus subtilis in producing ³-polyglumatic…
The gamma-polyglutamic acid (gamma-PGA) is a homopolyamide composed of D- and L- glutamic acid units. This is an anionic biopolymer that has properties as solubility in water, a toxicity to the environment, addition of edible, and biodegradable. Because of these properties, has many environmental applications, among them, used as coagulants in water treatment. The c-polyglutamic acid is p…
This paper intends to assess the Poly-glu application as a coagulant in the water treatment process for supply, considering the factors that influence the coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation steps. The water treatment for supply is an important operation, since the quality of water used by population depends on it. The experiments will be done through bench jar test equipment. The…

Methoprolol, known as one of the most frequently detected ²-blockers in surface water, causes negative impacts on the environment and human health due to its widespread use and resistance to hydrolysis. To date, very few water treatment plants remove methoprolol due to the ineffectiveness of conventional procedures, thus indicating the need for more efficient types of treatment for remova…
