Abstract
The economic growth of the textile sector in Brazil has contributed to the generation of new jobs, qualification of the workforce and better living conditions for the population. However, due to the high activity of the sector, large volumes of toxic effluents have been generated which, if improperly disposed of, cause serious environmental damage. Therefore, alternatives in the treatment of effluents are interesting to increase the availability of this resource. A technique that has stood out, for being efficient, easy to operate and economical, is adsorption, a passive capture process where pollutants are deposited on the surface of materials. Thus, the work aimed to carry out a comparative study of the influence of pH in the removal of the dyes Remazol Black (RB), Remazol Red (RR) and Remazol Yellow (RGY) using different mixed adsorbents constituted by the fungus Aspergillus niger grown in orange peel in two different culture media. Six types of adsorbents (three for each culture medium) were produced and were treated with acid, base and without treatment, and were subjected to adsorption tests at different pHs (2, 7 and 9), using a solution (25 mg.L-1) volume of 100 mL, 0.5 g of biomass, rotation 150 rpm, 30 oC. The results showed that the adsorbents produced were able to adsorb the dyes RB, RGY, RR at different pHs. The best adsorption condition was obtained at pH 2 and the adsorbents were treated with acid, showing a promising alternative for the treatment of textile effluents.

Resumo
Estudo comparativo da adsorção de corantes azo em adsorventes mistos compostos por Aspergillus niger e Citrus sinensis quimicamente modificados: influência do pH. O crescimento econômico do setor têxtil no Brasil tem contribuído para a geração de novos empregos, qualificação da mão de obra e melhores condições de vida para a população. Entretanto, devido à alta atividade do setor, tem-se gerado grandes volumes de efluentes tóxicos que se descartados de forma inadequada causam sérios danos ambientais. Sendo assim, alternativas no tratamento de efluentes são interessantes para aumentar a disponibilidade deste recurso. Uma técnica que vem se destacando, por ser eficiente, de fácil operação e econômica é a adsorção, um processo de captação passiva onde os poluentes depositam-se na superfície de materiais. Assim, o trabalho teve como objeto realizar um estudo comparativo da influência do pH na remoção dos corantes Remazol Black (RB), Remazol Red (RR) e Remazol Yellow (RGY) utilizando diferentes adsorventes mistos constituídos pelo fungo Aspergillus niger crescido em casca de laranja em dois diferentes meios de cultura. Foram produzidos seis tipos de adsorventes (três para cada meio de cultura) e foram submetidos a tratamento com ácido, base e sem tratamento, e foram submetidos a ensaios de adsorção em diferentes pHs (2, 7 e 9), utilizaram-se um volume de solução (25 mg.L-1) de 100 mL, 0,5 g de biomassa, agitação 150 rpm, 30 oC. Os resultados mostraram que os adsorventes produzidos foram capazes de adsorver os corantes RB, RGY, RR em diferentes pHs. A melhor condição de adsorção foi obtida em pH 2 e os adsorventes tratados com ácido. Sendo assim estes adsorventes tem se mostrando uma alternativa promissora para o tratamento de efluentes têxteis.
