1. K2O SUPORTADO EM ZEÓLITA NATURAL: SÍNTESE, CARACTERIZAÇÃO E APLICAÇÃO PRODUÇÃO DE BIODIESEL A PARTIR DO ÓLEO DE GIRASSOL
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel, a substitute for fossil diesel, which is important for reducing GHG in Brazil. Therefore, this work aims to synthesize and characterize the catalyst using the support of natural zeolite impregnated with K2O and apply it in the production of biodiesel through the transesterification reaction. Through the analysis of characteriza

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

5. Can China's Green Socialism transform global capitalism?
Resumo: Na última década, a China deu um salto espetacular para se tornar o principal usuário e fabricante de energia eólica e solar. Mas seu compromisso com o combustível fóssil ainda supera a energia renovável. O artigo traçará o crescimento da energia limpa e da indústria de carvão e petróleo, no mercado interno da China, bem como em seus inve

8. Life cycle analysis of HCNG light-duty vehicle demonstration project
ABSTRACT The demonstration is an effective initiative to bridge the gap between a premature technology and its large-scale commercialization. A systematic method of LCA was used to perform the well-to-wheel analysis of a CNG light-duty truck operated with 0%, 15%, and 30% blends of hydrogen with compressed natural gas fuel under the system boundary of “per

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

10. 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

11. Electrochemical Systems for Renewable Energy Conversion from Salinity and Proton Gradients
Ever-rising energy demand, fossil fuel dependence, and climate issues have harmful consequences to the society. Exploring clean and renewable energy to diversify the world energy matrix has become an urgent matter. Less explored or unexplored renewable energy sources like the salinity and proton gradient energy are an attractive alternative with great energy

12. Adaptation behaviour of bacterial species and impact on the biodegradation of biodiesel-diesel
Abstract Two bacteria, namely Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were exposed to different concentrations of diesel to increase their adaptation to the fossil fuel, and were used for the degradation of diesel-biodiesel blends. The biodegradation rate was evaluated using the redox indicator 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) test and gravimetric
