D-21: Solvent-free Ball-milling Synthesis of BaO Modified Zeolite for Tetracycline Adsorption: Pelin Demircivi Baran1; Nergiz Kanmaz1; Mehmet Bugdayci1; 1Yalova University
    Removal of pollutants requires cost-effective technologies, adsorption is known to be a simple and effective technique for wastewater treatment, and the success of the technique largely depends on the development of an efficient adsorbent. Herein, BaO-zeolite composite was synthesized by solvent-free ball-milling method for removal tetracycline (TC) from water. The crystalline structure of the composite was analyzed and explained by XRD. Adsorption studies were conducted to analyze the effect of different parameters on TC removal, such as adsorbent dosage, time effect and temperature. Also, kinetic data revealed that TC adsorption was well described by pseudo-second order kinetic model and maximum adsorption capacity was found 71.4 mg g-1.

D-42: Weather Aged Fique Fabric Reinforced Epoxy Composite: Impact Property Analysis: Michelle Oliveira1; Fernanda da Luz1; Sergio Monteiro1; Noan Simonassi2; Artur Pereira1; Andressa Teixeira1; 1Military Institute of Engineering; 2UENF
    The use of natural materials, in order to minimize environmental problems, has become quite common in recent years and is a major concern of the scientific community. The new model of economic development aims to improve the quality of life of future generations, incorporating less polluting production methods. The use of lignocellulosic fibers as substitutes for several synthetic reinforcements in polymeric composites has shown great potential for technological application, based on significant advantages. The applicability and potential of composites manufactured with natural fiber reinforcement are related to the nation economy. In particular, the applicability designated in this article is ballistic panels in which reliability, weight and cost reduction, and material sources are critical points for evaluation. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to evaluate the Izod impact strength of the epoxy matrix composite reinforced with 40 vol% of fique fabric natural aged for 2,160 hours.
