Recently issues faced by cokemakers connected with availability of resources, coal quality and price, and environmental concerns have led to the development of coal pre-treatment. Aiming the use of semi-coking coal, technologies for increasing bulk density have been applied such as briquetting and coal moisture control (CMC) which have proved their benefits on manufacturing of a strong metallurgical coke. This ...
Manganese recovery from industrial ore processing waste by means of leaching with sulfuric acid was the objective of this study. Experimental conditions were optimized by multivariate experimental design approaches. In order to study the factors affecting leaching, a screening step was used involving a full factorial design with central point for three variables in two levels (23). The three variables studied w...
The classical method of melting lead by fire-assay (Pb-FA) is the most frequently used analytical technique in gold prospection. The crucible solid waste which is generated in this process is usually characterized by chemical and mineralogical composition, granulometric size distribution, and classified according to Brazilian Environmental Regulations. This study demonstrates how acid leaching can be used to re...
Most reports about modification of lignocellulosics are mainly based on chemical modifications such as specific reactions on hydroxyl groups of cellulose. In this work, we describe the irradiation of Whatman 5 filter paper, microcrystalline cellulose and organosolv lignin with Nd-YAG laser pulses at 1064 nm. The chemical and structural properties of the degraded products were investigated by using FTIR and UV s...
Este artigo apresenta um modelo em duas dimensões para o espalhamento de I 2 pela superfície de líquidos poliméricos: poliéterperfluorado (PFPE), polidimentilsiloxano (PDMS) e esqualano. A função energia potencial adotada para descrever a interação do gás com a superfície líquida formulada é do tipo LEPS. Cada molécula diatômica I 2 e o potencial I-superfície são representados como uma função de Morse, com parâ...
Três origens diferentes de biodiesel (algodão, mamona e palma) foram adulteradas com óleo de soja cru, em concentrações variando de 1 a 40% (m/m). Estas amostras foram analisadas por espectrometria de infravermelho médio (MIR) e os seus espectros foram estudados em três diferentes faixas espectrais: espectro inteiro (4000-665 cm -1 ), e nas faixas de 1800-1700 cm -1 e 1800-1000 cm -1. Para determinar a origem d...
