2. Development of a low-cost alternative for the monitoring of the ore hauling production indicators in small-scale mining
Abstract Small and medium-sized mining represent an important part of a country's min eral economy. These companies, although substantial and numerous, have low invest ment potential in their development through new technologies. One of the problems small and medium mining companies face is the ore hauling production monitoring. This operation alone can cons

3. High Conversion of Palm Olein to Ethyl Esters Using a Strong Anion Exchange Resin: Study of the Operational Parameters
Biodiesel, known as a mixture of fatty acid ethyl/methyl esters, is seen as an alternative, ecofriendly, biodegradable and renewable non-fossil fuel. The use of heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel synthesis can solve several problems associated with the homogeneous alkaline catalyzed-transesterification. Therefore, this work reports the evaluation of the c

4. Determination of Methanol in Gasoline and Ethanol Fuels by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
Gasoline and ethanol fuels have been adulterated with methanol in Brazil. Methanol is not permitted in concentrations greater than 0.5 vol% due its toxicity but its lower price stimulates the adulteration. A new approach for quantitative analysis of methanol in gasoline and ethanol fuels is reported employing high-performance liquid chromatography coupled wi

5. Mathematical Modeling of the Transesterification Reaction by Finite Elements: Optimization of Kinetic Parameters Using the Simplex Sequential Method
The use of biodiesel as fuel has been presented as a viable alternative in the search for renewable energies. It can be produced from the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils with methanol in the presence of sodium or potassium hydroxide as catalysts. In the present research, the transesterification reaction of soybean oil was modeled considering t

6. SEPARATION OF SULFUR-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS FROM DIESEL BY OXIDATION FOLLOWED BY SOLVENT EXTRACTION IN A SINGLE DROP COLUMN
Abstract Oxidative desulfurization (ODS) is an attractive complementary or alternative process for the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process due to advantages such as mild operating conditions. In the ODS process, the sulfur-containing compounds are oxidized first to polar sulfoxide and sulfone products and then these polar compounds are separated using solvent

8. Bioethanol from Microalgal Biomass: A Promising Approach in Biorefinery
Abstract The development of new technologies which increase the production of biofuel without directly compete with food production is required. Microalgal biomass has recently been in the highlight. The role of this biomass is here discussed within the concept of biorefinery and industrial sustainability of bioethanol production. The process of cultivation

9. Characterization of new selective coatings, made of granite and chrome, for solar collectors
ABSTRACT The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and climate change caused by atmospheric pollution has led the human being to seek alternatives that are less damaging to the environment. The concern and the awareness of the population open space for the study of renewable energies to be deepened, among them the best use of solar energy. The use of alternative

11. Appliance of a high pressure semi-batch reactor: supercritical transesterification of soybean oil using methanol
Abstract This work presents the results of a supercritical transesterification process of soybean oil using methanol, performed in a laboratory high pressure semi-batch reactor. A full description of the equipment and a standard operating procedure are also provided. Since fossil fuels are not renewable, biofuels such biodiesel, have gained attention over t

12. Characterization of the Physicochemical Properties of Different Biodiesel Samples
ABSTRACT For combustion engines to perform well, it is necessary that the fuel used be of high quality. Fuel quality can be analyzed through different physicochemical properties. This study presents comparisons between the values presented in literature, legislation and those obtained through experimental tests of different biodiesel samples. Biodiesel is a
