The general goal of this work is to evaluate the possibility of utilizing tannin from black wattle and lignocelullosic derivatives in the preparation of foundry sand, as well as to evaluate the utilization of tannins as glueing for the confection of briquettes of vegetal residues. The work has been divided into two chapters, which comprise distinct experiments. In the first chapter tannin and cellulignin were used as constituents of foundry sand for the fabrication of pieces of pure aluminum alloy or aluminum-silicon eutectic alloy (11,0 a 13,0 % of Si). In the second chapter the use of tannin was evaluated in the production of briquettes of vegetal residues for application as a source of energy. The traces of foundry sand normally use clay as glueing and mogul (corn starch) with the goal of enhancing the resistance to compression and workability of the mold thus produced. It is common practice the use of mineral coal as a reducing agent in the mixture, and so the effects of its substitution by cellulignin, because of its high carbon content, were evaluated. Tannin, for its adhesive properties, acted as glueing together with clay, and replaced molasses, which is a component of foundry sand, perfectly. The resistance analysis produced good results and the process will generate molds with good visual aspect and adequate mechanical properties. Sawdust obtained in a eucalyptusprocessing sawmill was used in the confection of the briquettes. Tannin demonstrated great affinity to water in the composition of the standard mixture for briquetting. In natura sawdust, without any beneficiation, was used for briquetting. The results revealed that tannin is effective in the production of briquettes, where acted as an element of adhesion between the sawdust particles.
