  • optimization of ultrasound extraction of phenolic compounds from coconut cocos nucifera shell powder by response surface methodology
    Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, 2008
    Co-Authors: Sueli Rodrigues, Gustavo Adolfo Saavedra Pinto, Fabiano A N Fernandes
    Abstract:

    Coconut is a tropical fruit largely consumed in many countries. In some areas of the Brazilian coast, coconut shell represents more than 60% of the domestic Waste Volume. The coconut shell is composed mainly of lignin and cellulose, having a chemical composition very similar to wood and suitable for phenolic extraction. In this work, the use of ultrasound to extract phenolic compounds from coconut shell was evaluated. The effect of temperature, solution to solid ratio, pH and extraction time were evaluated through a 2(4) experimental planning. The extraction process was also optimized using surface response methodology. At the optimum operating condition (30 degrees C, solution to solid ratio of 50, 15 min of extraction and pH 6.5) the process yielded 22.44 mg of phenolic compounds per gram of coconut shell.

  • ultrasound extraction of phenolic compounds from coconut cocos nucifera shell powder
    Journal of Food Engineering, 2007
    Co-Authors: Sueli Rodrigues, Gustavo Adolfo Saavedra Pinto
    Abstract:

    Coconut is a tropical fruit largely consumed in many countries. In some areas of the Brazilian coast, coconut shell represents more than 60% of the domestic Waste Volume. The shell is composed mainly of lignin and cellulose with chemical composition very similar to wood. As several kinds of wood are used as a phenolic source to produce extracts for artificial aging of alcoholic beverages, in this work, the coconut shell was evaluated as a source of phenolic compounds. The coconut powder was submitted to different toasting temperatures and the phenolic compounds were extracted by the application of ultrasound. The ultrasound extraction methodology has been studied as a low cost alternative in substitution to solvent reflux extraction. The experiments were done according to a factorial experimental planning and the effects of toasting time, toasting temperature and extraction time were evaluated through response surface methodology. The results indicate that high amounts of phenolics can be extracted from coconut shell by ultrasound assisted extraction technology, and that the extraction time was the most significant parameter for the process.

  • parc process for an advanced purex process
    Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2000
    Co-Authors: Gunzo Uchiyama, Toshihide Asakura, Shinobu Hotoku, Hideaki Mineo, K Kamei, M Watanabe, Y Nakano, S Kimura, Sachio Fujine
    Abstract:

    An advanced PUREX process, the PARC process, has been developed which aims to reduce the radioactive Waste Volume containing TRU elements (neptunium, plutonium, americium and curium) and the environmental hazard risk due to long-lived nuclides such as technetium-99, carbon-14 and iodine-129. This paper describes the concept of the PARC process and major results of chemical flow sheet experiments using spent fuels.

  • the separation of neptunium and technetium in an advanced purex process
    Solvent Extraction and Ion Exchange, 1998
    Co-Authors: Gunzo Uchiyama, Toshihide Asakura, Shinobu Hotoku, Sachio Fujine
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT An advanced PUREX process has been developed which can reduce TRU Waste Volume and the environmental hazard risk due to long-lived nuclides. The separation of neptunium and technetium from plutonium and uranium solutions has been studied before the U/ Pu partitioning step in the PUREX process. The effectiveness of normal-butyraldehyde as a reductant of Np( VI) to Np( V) and of high acid scrubbing of technetium was shown in a basic study and a chemical flowsheet study.
