2. Mineralogy, magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry of Fe-rich Oxisols developed from several parent materials

ABSTRACT: Fe-rich Oxisols on mafic rocks in Brazil generally have high magnetic susceptibility with high contents of some trace elements. These are taxonomically similar soils; however, differences in magnetic and geochemical properties may affect agricultural or environmental usability and subsequent management. This study investigated the pedogenesis of Fe

5. Occurrence of Yeast Species in Soils under Native and Modified Vegetation in an Iron Mining Area

ABSTRACT Soils of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero are rich in mineral resources, especially gold and iron. Soil management and mining activities greatly impact soil biology. However, studies addressed to the diversity of microorganisms and their ecological role in the recovery of these areas are scarce. This study aimed to assess the yeast occurrence in soils w

6. Degradación de un efluente textil real asistida por Fe/PVA y materiales residuales magnéticos

ABSTRACT Organic compounds present on industrial wastes are mostly resistant to conventional biological and chemical treatments. Textile industry has presented several environmental problems mainly related to the use and management of water resources. It has a high consumption of potable and underground water in its processes. These wastewaters are one of th

7. Enhanced settling of mature fine tailings (MFT) by paramagnetic nanofluids based on nanoiron

ABSTRACT The extraction of bitumen from sand by utilizing hot water processes results in the production of a slurry waste which is stored in so called “tailings ponds”. Within these ponds, while fast settling sand particles segregate from the slurry in relatively short time, the fines fraction accumulates in the center of the pond and then settles, becom

11. Crop residue harvest for bioenergy production and its implications on soil functioning and plant growth: A review

ABSTRACT: The use of crop residues as a bioenergy feedstock is considered a potential strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, indiscriminate harvesting of crop residues can induce deleterious effects on soil functioning, plant growth and other ecosystem services. Here, we have summarized the information available in the literature to id

12. Soil organic matter fractions affected by N-fertilizer in a green cane management in Brazilian Coastal Tableland

ABSTRACT The recent approach of eliminating the use of fire for sugarcane harvesting (green cane) resulted in managing the crop on a trash-blanketed soil, which changed the content and dynamic of carbon and the nitrogen requirement. These alterations are relevant due to economic and environmental aspects of sugarcane production systems. This study aimed to e
