1. Diesel-Like Biofuels Production Using Fatty Waste
According to the waste-to-energy (WTE) valorization and circular economy principles, the use of waste oil and grease (WOG) for obtaining biofuels shows the tendency towards sustainability, makes the interest in green chemistry, and the development of environmentally friendly processes grow. Three different fatty wastes (from the fat trap of a sewage station,

2. Utilization of ferronickel slag in hot mix asphalt
Abstract The growing concern in minimizing the disorderly disposal of waste in nature has been influencing measures that seek to give new environmentally sustainable and economically viable purposes for these materials. The use of steel slag aggregate in road paving emerges as an alternative for reducing the storage of this material in industrial yards, as w

3. EVALUATION OF DISTILLATION CURVES FOR BIO-OIL OBTAINED FROM THERMAL CRACKING OF WASTE COOKING OIL
ABSTRACT Bio-oil obtained from thermal cracking of waste cooking oil (WCO) is a complex mixture of different chemical compounds and, like crude oil, it is composed mainly of hydrocarbons. The large number of compounds in bio-oil leads to complex and expensive methods for its properties determination. In this study, the distillation curves were constructed fo

4. Evaluation of zinc removal and compressive strength of self-reducing pellets composed of Electric Arc Furnace Dust
Abstract The amount of Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD) is continuously increasing in mini-mill steel plants. This dust is considered a hazardous waste because of the presence of elements like lead, cadmium and chromium. Among many different treatment processes for this issue, there is the possibility of returning the EAFD back to the Electric Arc Furnace. T

5. Carbothermic reduction of Electric Arc Furnace Dust via thermogravimetry
Abstract Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD) is a solid waste originated from electric steelmaking furnaces. Currently, according to some authors, there is an estimated generation of 15 to 25 kg of dust per ton of steel produced. The formation of the dust is related to the following steps of the process: furnace charge, metal volatilization, iron vaporization u

6. Electroremediation of deactivated catalysts from fluidised catalytic cracking for vanadium removal - the effect of a dual cathode chamber reactor
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the quantity of vanadium removed through electrokinetic remediation applied to catalyst waste used in a fluid catalytic cracking process. In excess, vanadium affects process efficiency by reducing the catalyst’s activity, causing deactivation and reducing its useful life in petroleum cracking during refining.

7. L-(+)-Lactic acid production by Lactobacillus rhamnosus B103 from dairy industry waste
ABSTRACT Lactic acid, which can be obtained through fermentation, is an interesting compound because it can be utilized in different fields, such as in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries as a bio-based molecule for bio-refinery. In addition, lactic acid has recently gained more interest due to the possibility of manufacturing poly(lactic acid),

8. Química e sustentabilidade: novas fronteiras em biocombustíveis
This contribution discusses the state of the art and the challenges in producing biofuels, as well as the need to develop chemical conversion processes of CO2 in Brazil. Biofuels are sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels for providing energy, whilst minimizing the effects of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Ethanol from fermentation of simple sugars and

9. Química Sem Fronteiras: o desafio da energia
Coal, natural gas and petroleum-based liquid fuels are still the most widely used energy sources in modern society. The current scenario contrasts with the foreseen shortage of petroleum that was spread out in the beginning of the XXI century, when the concept of "energy security" emerged as an urgent agenda to ensure a good balance between energy supply and

10. Potencial da extraÃÃo de Ãleo de peixe para produÃÃo de biodiesel / Potential extraction of fish oil for biodiesel production
Energy issues have been discussed intensively in the search for alternative energy sources, environmentally friendly and sustainable, since the prospect of depletion of fossil fuel reserves are eminent, thus reviving attention to alternative energy sources, among them, biofuels. Fish oil shows up as an alternative technology for the recovery of waste from pr

11. Elaboración de recubrimientos cerámicos mediante proyección térmica por combustión a partir de residuos sólidos industriales
Ceramic coatings were elaborated onto carbon steel substrates by oxy-fuel thermal spraying process from catalysts waste used in petroleum refining. The adhesion and micro-hardness Vickers were evaluated according to ASTM C633-01(2008) and ASTM C1327-08 standards respectively, with adhesion values varying between 2,9 and 17,7 MPa and values of microhardness V

12. Avaliação de eficiência de ensaios ecotoxicológicos na detecção de toxicidade em efluentes de refinaria de petróleo
Uma das principais fontes de poluição dos recursos hídricos são os efluentes líquidos industriais. Dentre esses, destacam-se os efluentes de refinaria de petróleo, pois geram efluentes bastante complexos e de difícil tratabilidade. Desta forma, evidencia-se a necessidade de monitoramento contínuo da qualidade desses efluentes, uma vez que são consid
