1. 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

2. Job precariousness: supply chain management in a waste pickers association
Resumo Waste pickers are key players within municipal solid waste management and an important link in the recycling chain. Waste pickers perform their activities in precarious conditions: they work in bad weather; run the risk of traffic accidents; come in contact with insects that transmit disease and suffer from weight overload. These conditions are aggrav

3. 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

4. Design, development, and implementation of 3D-printed polylactic acid centrifuge rotors for laboratory-scale applications
In this work, self-made laboratory centrifuge equipment was developed for the separation of suspensions and immiscible liquids. This centrifuge was based on the Arduino microcontroller and fabricated from simple and recycled mechanical and electronic parts, spending an inexpensive budget suitably. The centrifuge frame and rotors were manufactured of Polylact

5. Cadmium accumulation and toxicity in watercress (Barbarea verna), chicory (Cichorium endivia) and rocket (Eruca sativa) plants
ABSTRACT Some vegetables have the ability to accumulate cadmium (Cd)at levels that are toxic to most other plants. The objective of thisstudy was to evaluate the Cd accumulation and its toxic effects on edible vegetables. Three species were tested: watercress (Barbarea verna); chicory (Cichorium endivia); rocket (Eruca sativa) and four Cd doses (0; 1.5; 3.0;

7. Agricultural tractor performance fueled with proportions of biodiesel
ABSTRACT Among the fuel sources used nowadays, biofuels stand out for being renewable and biodegradable. In this sense, this work aimed to evaluate the performance and smoke opacity of an agricultural tractor in soil tillage activities, depending on the biodiesel blends and the engine rotation. Were used six blends of soy (S) and murumuru (M) biodiesel and s

9. Prospects for Developing Low-Cost Optical Fiber Sensors for Liquid-Liquid Interface Detection
Abstract This work examines the prospects of a low-cost retroreflection optical sensor system for detection of the interface between two immiscible liquids, for applications in oil separation tanks. The sensor in its simplest configuration comprises a bare fiber optic tip, cleaved at an angle of 90º relative to the longitudinal fiber axis. The device tested

12. Use of Direct Aqueous Injection and Solid Phase Extraction Coupled with Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography to Analyze Haloacetic Acids in Drinking Water Samples
In this study, two analytical methods were evaluated to determine haloacetic acids (HAAs) in drinking water samples. Direct aqueous injection (DAI) and solid phase extraction (SPE) were evaluated and determination was performed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with a hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) analytical column
