Monte, Pollyana Maria Pimentel; Araújo, Rogério César Pereira de; Figueirêdo, Maria Cléa Brito deThe processing of cashew nuts is a traditional activity in the Northeast Region of Brazil, with production chain formed by large and small factories, among which mini factories stand out. While previous studies analyzed the technical and social benefits of these production units, they did not consider the environmental impacts of cashew nut almonds. This work evaluated the water footprint profile and the carbon...
Avaliação do risco de eutrofização em reservatórios da bacia do Acaraú, Ceará, ...
Figueirêdo, Maria Cléa Brito de; Vieira, Vicente de Paulo Pereira Barbosa; Mota, Francisco Suetônio BastosThe eutrophication has compromised the water quality in reservoirs all over the world. In the state of Ceará, Brazil, the reservoirs Araras, Edson Queiroz and Jaibaras, located in the Acaraú waterbasin, presented high nutrient level, during a year of water monitoring, indicating a possible stage of water eutrophication. This work aims to assess the risk of eutrophication in these reservoirs. In order to make th...
Integrating life cycle assessment in early process development stage: The case ...
Silva, Anne Karolyne Pereira da; Cardoso, Alexandre; Sá Filho, Ednaldo Benício de; Azevedo, Henriette Monteiro Cordeiro de; Freire, FaustoAn important issue in the development of new processes is how to perform environmental impact assessments that support decisions at an early stage of process development. In this study, a methodological procedure was applied to insert life cycle assessment (LCA) in early design of two alternative processes (A and B) to extract starch from mango kernel. This procedure allowed to perform LCAs at technology readin...
Modelo de avaliação do desempenho ambiental de inovações tecnológicas agroindus...
Figueirêdo, Maria Cléa Brito deAgro-industrial technological innovations have met the growing food demand and sprung economic development in Brazil and in other parts of the world. However, the perception that economic development depends on environmental conservation and on an educated, healthy and participative society to be sustainable in the long run calls for the use of environmental evaluation tools in the innovation process. This work...
