2. Use of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents for Polymerization and Polymer Reactions
Green chemistry is a key opportunity in chemistry and chemical engineering today because it can potentially preserve the environment and human health. It entails the choice of natural biodegradable raw materials and solvents, environmentally acceptable processes, and minimal use of non-hazardous chemicals. Previously, deep eutectic solvents (DES) have found

3. Nano Coated Lead Free Solders for Sustainable Electronic Waste Management
ABSTRACT Lead has been used in a wide range of applications, but in the past decades it became clear that its high toxicity could cause various problems. Studies indicate that exposure to high concentrations of lead can cause harmful damages to humans. To eliminate the usage of lead in electronic products as an initiative towards electronic waste management

4. Application of optimization for improvement of the efficiency of louvered-fin compact heat exchangers
Abstract A few decades ago, the product development process was just based on a trial and error procedure, and the designer's experience. The need for a new way to design and manufacture more economical and sustainable products corroborates increasingly to a new vision of how to create new products for the benefit of society. Modern numerical tools allow gre

5. A Química na agricultura: perspectivas para o desenvolvimento de tecnologias sustentáveis
Food production and preservation of the environment are among the challenges faced by contemporary society. In Brazil, as in most parts of the world, the possibility of increasing the agricultural area is limited by several factors. Thus, an increase in productivity through the application of innovative technologies is regarded as the best solution to overco

6. Blocos para execução de alvenaria de vedação empregando garrafas pet: avaliação mecânica e termoacústica
Recycling and reuse of materials is the most evident solution regarding sustainable development. One relevant aspect to this development refers to the integration of engineering to devise ways that enable the reuse of materials considered as waste, but with great potential of applicability in the building industry itself, through the generation of appropriat

7. Cultivo integrado de juvenis de TilÃpia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) com a microalga Spirulina platensis: uma alternativa para tratamento de efluente aquÃcola / Culture integrated youth of nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) with microalgae Spirulina platensis: an alternative for treatment of aquaculture effluent
The environmental potential impacts from intensive aquaculture have increased public concern about the sustainability of the activity itself. The present work aimed to evaluate the zootÃcincos parameters of Nile tilapia , water quality, algal biomass production and rate of nitrogen removal compounds by Spirulina platensis realize an integrated cultivation o

8. An overview of lignin metabolism and its effect on biomass recalcitrance
Lignin, after cellulose, is the second most abundant biopolymer on Earth, accounting for 30% of the organic carbon in the biosphere. It is considered an important evolutionary adaptation of plants during their transition from the aquatic environment to land, since it bestowed the early tracheophytes with physical support to stand upright and enabled long-dis

9. Pó de borracha reutilizado na confecção de compostos de borracha natural para a produção de peças de engenharia do setor automotivo
Due to the cross-linked structure and the presence of antidegradants, rubber products decomposition is very hard and the disposal of waste material has been caused many environmental problems. Therefore, rubber recycling and the use of it as raw material in fresh rubber compounds are strongly necessary to achieve more sustainable technological projects. The

11. Parques agrários no baixo Jaguaribe : arquitetura rural da região dos perímetros irrigados resultante do planejamento de bacias hidrográficas / Agrarian park on lower Jaguaribe : rural architecture in the region of irrigated perimeters resulting from watersheds planning
Human interventions confer throughout history personality and typical characteristics in several regions. In Ceará, the region of the irrigated areas of low Jaguaribe is a good example of the interaction that takes place in the landscape, mainly by human disturbances - which reveals a mastery over nature - and by the landscapes when associated to the histor
