1. Catalysts Derived from Thermal Treatments of Hydrocalumite-Type Compounds: Synthesis and Application in Transesterification Reactions
Catalyst performance is a relevant factor in biodiesel production because it can affect the efficiency of the process. This work provides a study of the performance of heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production derived from thermal-treated hydrocalumite-type compounds. This work aimed to synthesize and characterize hydrocalumite-type compounds intercal

2. Study of Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) Using Design of Experiments and Surface Response Methodology
This study proposes a screen of variables that have an influence on the modification of the bio-oil chemical composition as a unique critical quality attribute (CQA) throughout the pyrolytic process (zeolite, ZSM-5) by using a 24 full factorial design, followed by optimization through a response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CC

3. Synthesis of delafossite CuCrO2 via solution combustion method and its acid functionalization for biodiesel production
Abstract CuCrO2 was synthesized by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) and applied as a heterogeneous catalyst to produce soybean biodiesel. The combustion reaction was carried out using urea as a fuel, and copper (II) and chromium (III) nitrates as precursors. After the powders’ obtention, these were calcined and functionalized in an acidic medium. The po

4. Exergy and emergy: complementary tools for assessing the environmental sustainability use of biosolids generated in wastewater-treatment plant for energy-production
Taking advantage of the energy contained in the biosolids generated in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is one of the processes of greatest interest due to the opportunity to obtain an energy resources from a waste. The aim of this research was to analyze the environmental sustainability use of biosolids generated in a wastewater-treatment plant for energ

5. Extraction and Characterization of Pequi Seed Oil for Biodiesel Production: A Green Management of Waste to Biofuel Using Ethanol and Heterogeneous Catalysis
This work reports the characterization of a vegetable oil extracted from pequi seeds, an agroindustrial residue, and its biodiesel production using ethanol and heterogeneous catalysis. The pequi seeds showed 40.73 wt.% of extractive content, which represents a large amount of the biomass composition. The crude oil extracted from the pequi seeds with ethanol

6. Effects of plaster to water ratio on physical and mechanical properties of ceramic pieces produced by the slip casting process
Abstract In the slip casting process, the relationship between the amount of plaster and water used in the production of molds influences the production of ceramic materials, because the higher the water content in the mixture, the lower the mechanical strength of the mold and higher the water absorption rate. In order to evaluate the influence of the variat

7. Designing and fabrication of a low-cost dip-coater for rapid production of uniform thin films
In this work, a self-made dip-coater equipment was developed for the fabrication of thin films. The assembly of the apparatus was carried out using simple mechanical and electronic pieces, recycle parts, and spending an inexpensive budget suitably. The production, software design, and features of the device were focused on the sol-gel dip-coating method, whi

8. Inbreeding depression and genetic variability of populations for green maize production
ABSTRACT The production of green maize is considerable important for various regions of Brazil. It is vital that breeding programs of public institutions seek to meet the needs of this market sector, which has a relevant social role, mainly on small properties. The aim of this study was to estimate the inbreeding depression and the genetic components (m + a

9. Short-term mine scheduling targeting stationary grades
Abstract In short-term mine planning, mining scheduling is generally defined by designing dig-lines, allocated on benches. The mined ore will be sent to stockpiles, homogenization piles, or a concentration plant. The process to design dig-lines is usually done manually, whereby multiple simultaneous mining fronts are time-consuming and labour-intensive. The

10. Numerical simulations of ceramic firing in catenary kilns
Abstract Kiln geometries were developed to reach homogeneous temperatures above 900 °C, during the firing process, aiming to improve the production process of the ceramists from Vale do Jequitinhonha (MG/Brazil). Techniques of reactive flow numerical solution using the software Ansys CFX have been used to foresee the behavior of the firings. Two types of ca

11. Macrophages: key players in erythrocyte turnover
ABSTRACT The development of red blood cells (RBCs), or erythropoiesis, occurs in specialized niches in the bone marrow, called erythroblastic islands, composed of a central macrophage surrounded by erythroblasts at different stages of differentiation. Upon anemia or hypoxemia, erythropoiesis extends to extramedullary sites, mainly spleen and liver, a process

12. AVANÇOS NA PRODUÇÃO E FORMULAÇÃO DE INOCULANTES MICROBIANOS VISANDO UMA AGRICULTURA MAIS SUSTENTÁVEL
The wide application of beneficial microorganisms in agriculture as inoculants to combat pests and diseases and/or to improve soil fertility and the nutrients availability for plants has been considered as an effective and more sustainable alternative than chemical fertilizers and agricultural defensives. However, it is necessary to examine all processing st
