Produção de MDF por meio da técnica do reaproveitamento de cascas de amendoim e caroço de abacate.

Abstract

One of the main problems of today's society is the production of waste and its final destination. Increasingly people are encouraged to contribute to environmental preservation. The use of alternative means for the reuse of organic matter, which is more than 94 thousand tons per day, according to IBGE (2010), brings with it an awakening of new academic perspectives, taking into account the current society. Environmental issues such as this one are found as a necessity, just observe the lifestyle in recent times, with easy access to means of supply and unbridled consumption of the population to understand why so much concern from scholars to find new ways of reusing and reusing materials and organic matter. Due to the prodigality of long fibers contained in the peanut shell, this was chosen as one of the raw materials, together with the avocado kernel that has antifungal properties. Thus, it can contribute to the protection against fungus in the produced sheet. In this perspective and in order to emphasize the importance of new means of reusing matter that would be wasted in view of population growth and its contribution to the increase in waste production. However, consequently, the need to promote an adequate final disposal of the waste generated arises. The most important thing is to create an awareness in the population with environmental education. The production of MDF in this proposal as a way to reuse two fruit and legume residues (avocado kernel and peanut shell) aimed to work on the feasibility and to present to the academic society a viable and sustainable solution to recycle such a large volume of organic waste, reusing the peanut shell and the avocado kernel. An ideal amount of 26g of each residue is identified, added to 26g of glue for agglutination of the inputs. This is for the production of a cylinder-shaped material with a diameter of about 4.5 cm and height measuring 2.5 cm.
