Remoção de querosene na mistura querosene/água, utilizando bagaço de caju quimicamente modificado Kerosene removal in kerosene/water mixture, using cashew bagasse chemically modified

In this research was evaluated the capacity of cashew bagasse chemically modified to remove kerosene from a kerosene/water mixture. First of all it was do a treatment on bagasse with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) it was analyzed at different concentrations, since the alkali treatment is capable to remove the lignin present in the bagasse. The lignin due difficult the adsorbate access on adsorbents sites. It was showed that in a concentration of 0.1 mol.L -1 was efficient for treatment. The simulations showed that the treated bagasse have a higher efficiency (5.33g/g) than the untreated bagasse (1.64 g/g).
