“…Thus, with increasing values of pH, the number of negatively charged sites on the Nb2O5 also increases, further reducing the photodecolorization process in the following sequence 7.0 > 9.0 > 11.0, with percentages of color removal of 39.3%, 16.0% and 7.5%, respectively. In addition, it is well known that the rate of decomposition of unstable H2O2 increases with increasing pH in accordance with Equations (11) or (12) in strongly alkaline media [41]. This loss of H2O2 by chemical decomposition affects the overall photocatalytic performance.…”

Niobium-based metal oxides are emerging semiconductor materials with barely explored properties for photocatalytic wastewater remediation. Brazil possesses the greatest reserves of niobium worldwide, being a natural resource that is barely exploited. Environmental applications of solar active niobium photocatalysts can provide opportunities in the developing areas of Northeast Brazil, which receives over 22 MJ m2 of natural sunlight irradiation annually. The application of photocatalytic treatment could incentivize water reuse practices in small and mid-sized textile businesses in the region. This work reports the facile synthesis of Nb2O5 catalysts and explores their performance for the treatment of colored azo dye effluents. The high photoactivity of this alternative photocatalyst makes it possible to quickly obtain complete decolorization, in less than 40 min of treatment. The optimal operational conditions are defined as 1.0 g L−1 Nb2O5 loading in slurry, 0.2 M of H2O2, pH 5.0 to treat up to 15 mg L−1 of methyl orange solution. To evaluate reutilization without photocatalytic activity loss, the Nb2O5 was recovered after the experience and reused, showing the same decolorization rate after several cycles. Therefore, Nb2O5 appears to be a promising photocatalytic material with potential applicability in wastewater treatment due to its innocuous character and high stability.

“…A sustentabilidade, tema expressivo em todo o mundo, vem ganhando força desde os anos 1970 através da conscientização dos consumidores com relação do desenvolvimento e produção de produtos e serviços ecologicamente corretos (Brandalise et al 2009;Trudel, 2019;Garcia et al, 2019;Zhu & Yu, 2019).…”

Diante aos aspectos inerentes que permeiam a temática da sustentabilidade, bem como a importância desta na sociedade, torna-se relevante que estudos sejam realizados com a finalidade de auxiliar as organizações a estarem alinhadas a esse viés. Dessa forma objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar as alternativas de melhoria na qualidade no processo com ênfase nas práticas sustentáveis em um restaurante situado na região noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul. Através de uma pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, de abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, este estudo de caso avaliou um restaurante, elencando alternativas de melhoria da qualidade, alinhadas a práticas sustentáveis, priorizando através do método de Análise hierárquica de processos (AHP) aquela que na visão do gestor é mais relevante. Dessa forma, os resultados demonstraram que alternativa voltada a treinamento do pessoal é a mais priorizada, visto sua influência direta nos processos, o que pode auxiliar na redução dos desperdícios no restaurante.

“…In this section, we review the papers which study the sustainability issues from the FSCM perspective. Various issues may include information disclosure in sustainability reports ( Kim and Kim, 2017 , De Brito et al, 2008 ), corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives ( Amatulli et al, 2018 ), fairness, safety and wages for workers ( Mair et al, 2018 , Mair et al, 2019 , Clarke-Sather and Cobb, 2019 ), carbon emissions ( Morgan et al, 2018 ), sustainable collaborations ( Ma et al, 2017 ), sustainability awareness ( Garcia et al, 2019 ), intelligent forecasting ( Choi, 2018 ) and so on. The extant literature studies these issues from both strategic and operational management perspectives.…”
