Mapeamento do fósforo adsorvido por meio da cor e da suscetibilidade magnética do solo

The objective of this work was to evaluate the possibility of mapping adsorbed phosphorus through soil color and magnetic susceptibility. The experiment was done in a 380-ha sugarcane area, which included four types of Oxisols, with different texture and natural fertility. Two hundred and forty-one soil samples were collected at 0.00-0.25-m depth. The soil redness index was calculated from sample values of hue, value, and chroma, obtained with diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Regression models were adjusted between adsorbed phosphorus and soil magnetic susceptibility or redness index. Data spatial dependence was evaluated with geostatistics. Magnetic susceptibility is significantly correlated to adsorbed phosphorus, which allows it to be used as a component in pedotransfer functions for indirect quantification of soil adsorbed phosphorus. The redness index and the magnetic susceptibility show spatial dependency with adsorbed phosphorus. Soil magnetic susceptibility and redness index, evaluated with diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, can aid in the mapping and identification of areas with different phosphorus adsorption potential.

Solubilización de fuentes de fósforo asociadas a un compuesto orgánico enriquecido con biofertilizantes

The enrichment of an organic compound with biofertilizers of microorganisms (solubilizing phosphorus bacteria, BSF) can improve the properties of phosphate fertilizers applied to soils to increase nutrient availability. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks with a factorial 4x2 +1 arrangement of treatments: 1) four sources of phosphorus: phosphate rock, natural phosphate, triple superphosphate (TSP) and Cuban phosphate rock; 2) two sources of bio-fertilizer prepared from filter cake (cane waste) enriched with microorganisms and no enrichment; 3) and an absolute control (no filter cake or fertilizer); repeated three times. Data was analyzed with ANOVA and treatment means were compared using Tukey (p <= 0.05). Assessments of available P (Bray-2 and Oniani methodology) and the quantification of total and solubilizing bacteria and fungi in the soil were performed 30, 60 and 90 d after starting the experiment. After 60 d, the population of BSF was lower in the control (p <= 0.05) and the content of P (Bray-2) was higher for SFT (p <= 0.01). The application of the bio-fertilizer increased the P content compared to the control. At 90 d P (Bray-2) increased with the SFT treatment, which also increased (p P in the soil at 60 and 90 d regardless of the presence of microorganism-enriched bio-fertilizer. The use of filter cake enriched with microorganisms associated with different sources of P, and applied to the soil with a high content of P, did not change the soil populations of total and solubilizing bacteria and fungi in the short term. TSP promoted the highest levels of P in the soil, irrespective of the presence of the organic compound enriched with P solubilizing microorganisms.

Crescimento e produção do maracujazeiro amarelo, sob diferentes fontes e doses de fósforo em cobertura

Brazil is the largest world producer of yellow passion fruit, a fruit crop which is exigent in nutrients, although little studied in relation to phosphorus fertilizing, fundamental on plant establishment. An experiment was carried out during the period of March/2010 to April/2011 in Remigio County, Paraiba State, Brazil, in order to evaluate the vegetative and productive attributes of yellow passion fruit plants under different sources and doses of phosphorus. Treatments were distributed in randomized blocks in tree replications and twelve plants by plot using the factorial design 2 x 5 referring the sources of superphosphate triple and superphosphate simple at levels P2O5 of 0, 12, 18, 24 and 30 g cave(-1). The following variables were recorded: stem diameter, number of productive branches, number of fruits per plant, fruit mass and fruit yield. The sources and doses of phosphorus affected growth and fruit production of yellow passion plants. The triple superphosphate is the most phosphorus efficient source for growth and fruit production of yellow passion fruit. The triple superphosphate dose which promoted the maximum yield of yellow passion fruit is 42.86 g.

Determinação de fósforo em biodiesel utilizando eletrodo quimicamente modificado com nanopartículas de ferro

Once petroleum is na exhaustible source of energy, alternative fuels are having more prominence. A much discussed option for replacing fossil fuels is the use of biofuels derived from oils or fats, especially biodiesel. The biodiesel preparation is through a reaction named transesterification, a reaction of triglycerides with a short chain alcohol with a catalyst, producing a mixture of fatty acid esters and glycerol. According to ANP (National Petroleum Agency) specifications, biodiesel can have contaminants due to the catalyst or oil used on its synthesis, such as phosphorus, wich can damage the catalytic converter and cause significant increase in the particles emission. This project aims to develop na alternative method using chemically modified electrodes with iron nanoparticles for determination of phosphorus in biodiesel. For the formation of the iron nanoparticles film on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode, was used a iron sulfate solution. The film was formed after 10 successive cycles, with a scanning speed of 50 mV s-1 and a potential range of -0,9 to -1,25 V. To reduce possible oxides on the surface and activate the electrode, it has been subjected to a cathodic polarization with a potential of -1,25 V for 15 minutes in a sodium hydroxide solution. In cyclic voltammograms obtained in the study of the speed of scanning, there is an increase in the intensity of the anodic and cathodic current peaks. The cathodic peak current varied linearly with the square root of scan rate, showing that the electrode is controlled by diffusion. After successive additions of phosphate there is a linear variation in the current peak in the concentration range of 1,0 x 10-7 a 1,0 x 10-6 mol L-1. To determine if the concentration of phosphorus in real sample, the method of adding standard was used by adding aliquots of phosphate ions in the solution containing soy biodiesel extracted with ....

Caracterização e reciclagem química via pirólise de resíduos da fabricação de pás eólicas

A energia eólica é uma forma de energia que seu uso encontra-se em expansão, e junto a esse crescimento, tem-se também o aumento da quantidade de resíduos gerados na fabricação das pás eólicas. Uma forma correta de destinação e aproveitamento desses resíduos é a reciclagem. Porém, esses são constituídos de materiais compósitos, geralmente a resina epóxi e a fibra de vidro; e por possuírem um polímero termofixo (a resina epóxi) na sua composição, a reciclagem convencional via fusão não é possível. Desta forma, a reciclagem química via pirólise apresenta-se como uma alternativa para o aproveitamento desses resíduos, em especial da fibra de vidro que o contém. Após caracterização do resíduo de uma indústria de pás eólicas, verificou-se que se tratava de um material com mais de 70% de fibra de vidro e muito densas. Foram realizados ensaios de pirólise a seco e com óleo de babaçu, considerado o mais interessante perante vários possíveis e no qual o resíduo fica totalmente imerso, facilitando o inchamento e a troca de calor. Em um sistema de aquecimento com vácuo, foram obtidas mais de 97% de fibras em 30 minutos a 310 oC, justamente a temperatura em que uma análise termogravimétrica apontou ser a de início de altas taxas de degradação térmica.

A importância da arte como meio de reciclagem e como formação de um novo pensamento ambiental

The question related to recyclable material has been pointed by environmental researchers as one of the most serious urban problems today. Therefore, the importance of disclosure and clarification related to recycling techniques is highlighted, as well as a critical and extensive reflection related to the cultural values of society about current economic rationality that prioritizes a unlimited consumerism. We conducted a survey in the city of Bauru and asked how often people separated recyclable materials for selective collection. We found that 18% of these people have never performed this type of activity. Thus we emphasize the importance of art in creating alternative ways of dealing with the recyclable material, that involves social, economic and cultural needs of a population; contributing to preserve the environment such as the creation of a new rationality.

O processo de construção tecno-artística por meio da reciclagem

The recycling in Engineering can be used for reuse of material disposed remains into the environment. The recycling of construction residues comes from antique and was applied in the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. From the environmental point of view, the main problem with the residues that can be recycled, is related to its irregular deposition and the large volumes produced. In this article we aim to approach the recycling techniques through literature surveys and propose techno-artistic works that solve the problem of wasting residues in our planet.

Simulação do impacto ambiental de uma proposta de programa de reciclagem no município de Cachoeira Paulista/SP

A reciclagem é uma importante ferramenta para a gestão dos Resíduos Sólidos Domiciliares, como cita a Política Nacional dos Resíduos Sólidos. Assim esta pesquisa visa quantificar o impacto ambiental que um programa de reciclagem, com o objetivo de reciclar 20% dos resíduos passíveis de reciclagem, causaria na cidade de Cachoeira Paulista/SP. Para isso, foi utilizado o Waste Reduction Model para simular os dados e calcular a Emissão dos Gases de Efeito Estufa (MTCO2E e MTCE) e quantidade de Energia (Kwh). Um programa de reciclagem de 20% tem oportunidade de reduzir, em um ano e em relação a situação sem reciclagem, aproximadamente em 49% a quantidade de CO2 e C equivalentes, além de economizar em Kwh o equivalente ao gasto por um mês de energia elétrica de 9400 residências.
