Experimental assessment of power generation using a compression ignition engine fueled by farnesane – A renewable diesel from sugarcane
(2021-10-15)
This work reports the experimental study of a single-cylinder compression ignition engine fueled with a renewable diesel from sugarcane called farnesane. The engine is representative of current small-scale power generation ...
Behavioral attitudes and preferences in cooking practices with traditional open-fire stoves in Peru, Nepal, and Kenya: Implications for improved cookstove interventions
(MDPI, 2014)
Global efforts are underway to develop and promote improved cookstoves which may reduce the negative health and environmental effects of burning solid fuels on health and the environment. Behavioral studies have considered ...
Análise por cromatografia gasosa de BTEX nas emissões de motor de combustão interna alimentado com diesel e mistura diesel-biodiesel (B10)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2008)
This paper describes the procedures for analysing pollutant gases emitted by engines, such as volatile organic compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene) by using high resolution gas ...
An overview of biodiesel soil pollution: Data based on cytotoxicity and genotoxicity assessments
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
Biodiesel production has received considerable attention in the recent past as a nonpolluting fuel. However, this assertion has been based on its biodegradability and reduction in exhaust emissions. Assessments of water ...
Urban air pollution: a representative survey of PM2.5 mass concentrations in six Brazilian cities
(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AGCHAM, 2012)
In urban areas of Brazil, vehicle emissions are the principal source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The World Health Organization air quality guidelines state that the annual mean concentration of PM2.5 should be below ...
A comparative study of aquifer systems occurring at the Paraná sedimentary basin, Brazil: U-isotopes contribution
(2013-01-01)
The radioactivity due to 238U and 234U in three aquifer systems occurring within the Paraná sedimentary basin, South America, has been investigated. Uranium is much less dissolved from fractured igneous rocks than from the ...
Zn supported on Zr modified mesoporous SBA-15 as sorbents of pollutant precursors contained in fossil fuels: Si/Zr ratio effect
(Elsevier, 2019)
The adsption processes have become an additional alternative to hydrotreatment processes of oilderived
middle distillates. The crucial point is the type of adsorbent employed. SBA-15 mesoporous materials were used to ...
