Desenvolvimento de cerâmica vermelha utilizando rejeitos da construção civil

The Industry of the Civil Construction has been one of the sectors that most contribute to the pollution of the environment, due to the great amount of residues generated by the construction, demolition and the extraction of raw material. As a way of minimizing the environmental impacts generated by this industry, some governmental organizations have elaborated laws and measures about the disposal of residues from the building construction (CONAMA - resolution 307). This work has as objective the reutilization of residues compound of sand, concrete, cement, red bricks and blocks of cement and mortar for the production of red ceramic, with the objective of minimizing costs and environmental impacts. The investigated samples contained 0% to 50% of residues in weight, and they were sintered at temperatures of 950°C, 1000°C, 1050°C, 1100°C and 1150°C. After the sinterization, the samples were submitted to tests of absorption of water, linear retraction, resistance to bending, apparent porosity, specific density, XRD and SEM. Satisfactory results were obtained in all studied compositions, with the possible incorporation of up to 50% of residues in ceramic mass without great losses in the mechanical strength, giving better results to the incorporation of 30% of residues in the fabrication of ceramic parts, such as roofing tiles, bricks masonry and pierced bricks

Gestão ambiental na saúde pública: um estudo sobre a percepção ambiental de gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos de serviços de saúde, dos servidores do Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes do Rio Grande do Norte

This research has aimed at studying the perception of University Hospital Onofre Lopes (HUOL) s workers on the environmental management plan of RSSS. They have been interviewed 250 workers: doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, and cleaners. It was used an exploratory and descriptive research of the type Survey, which aims at obtaining of data or information on characteristics, actions or opinions of any group of people. The questions of the questionnaire were of the kind objective", formulated in a model "scale", analyzed in according to the positioning of the interviewee. The wastes of health service have high potential for environmental impact in the activities from HUOL. Actions or environmental protective policy can improve the image of HUOL. They have been detected divergences on the rigor in application of law of ANVISA. The HUOL s workers unaware of the law of ANVISA and they have little or no knowledge about the practices of environmental control, public health and, they do not know the Environmental Management System ISO 14001. They have divergent views on the degree of importance of ISO 14001. There is not a Waste Management Plan for Health Service and / or is not disclosed for most of HUOL workers. It has not carried out audits or defined the goals and objectives. Besides, it has not been identified legal requirements, and there has not been communication about the service is performed or has been made a critical analysis and no control of documents the environmental management plan. The HUOL have not had a committee of environmental management. The direction of HUOL has not been organized courses, training and recycling of waste on environmental control of the health service. On a scale from 01 to 05, the level of aware level concerning to the waste management from health services of the workers, so is at the threshold between 01 and 02. For the reversal of this situation, the first and urgent step is the creation and institutionalization the environmental management committee of the University Hospital Onofre Lopes

Estudo de parâmetros físicoquímicos para a produção de argamassas utilizando resíduos industriais e da construção civil

As argamassas podem ser consideradas como a mistura de aglomerantes e agregados com água, possuindo capacidade de endurecimento e aderência. Como alternativa, é proposto produção de argamassas utilizando como agregado miúdo resíduos de construção civil (RCC), rico em silicoaluminatos, gerado nas obras de demolições e reformas, e cinza volante (CV) como material pozolânico, obtida a partir da combustão do carvão mineral em caldeiras de leitos fluidizados, em substituição parcial ao cimento Portland. Neste contexto, o resíduo de construção civil foi beneficiado e caracterizado pelas análises de espectrofotometria de raios- X e difração de raios-X, a cinza volante foi caracterizada pela análise granulométrica e espectrofotometria de raios-X. Para produção das argamassas formularam-se composições de RCC nas proporções de 95, 90, 85, 80, 75 e 70%; CV de 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 e 25% e 5% de cimento Portland CP II Z 32, sendo que em cada composição do traço de argamassa foi adicionado 0,8% em volume de água e para o ensaio reológico utilizou-se as mesmas proporções de resíduos (RCC e CV) com 35% em volume de água. Após a cura de 28 dias os corpos de prova foram submetidos a ensaios físicos de absorção, porosidade e massa específica aparente; ensaio mecânico de resistência à compressão e análise de difração de raios-X e microscopia eletrônica de varredura, cujos resultados obtidos mostraram-se ser viável a utilização da cinza volante e RCC na construção civil, na produção de argamassas.

A política nacional de resíduos sólidos e o plano diretor municipal de Rio Claro/SP: o uso como instrumento para a gestão urbano-ambiental municipal

Due to the large economic development associated with the growing consumerist lifestyle of our capitalist society, the problem of uncontrolled solid waste generation worsens, which one is considered to be one of the main responsible factors for environmental degradation. As a case study and in order to solve the problem of large generation of municipal solid waste, this work aims to study the “plano diretor” of Rio Claro city, São Paulo. The “plano diretor” is a municipal law that provides guidelines for the administration of the city, which include guidelines for the management of solid waste generated in the city. The guidelines required in order to write the “plano diretor” are provided by the national law “estatuto da cidade”, providing information for the planning and development of the cities, as well as the management of the urban environment. However, only the “estatuto da cidade” does not provide enough instructions for creating management plans in order to solve the many problems from the urban environment. Thus, studies have been done about urban and environmental management, to understand how municipal management plans should be structured. As a form of seeking information that can complement the “plano diretor” to the creation of policies for managing solid waste of the city, the “Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos”(PNRS) emerges in 2010 as a document which provides principles, objectives and guidelines to create plans for Solid Waste Management at the national, state, regional and municipal levels. Therefore, it was possible to make a joint analysis of the “plano diretor” of Rio Claro with the PNRS to identify what is already done within the municipality about the solid waste management, and identify which aspects are most significant in the municipal solid waste management that the national policy provides. Yet studies have been done on the current municipal solid waste management...

Práticas de gestão da melhoria contínua e aprendizado e suas contribuições para a capacidade de inovação na indústria de construção naval do Brasil

After years of stagnation, the naval construction industry in Brazil has been experiencing a period of recovery caused by investments in the oil and gas sector and the implementation of governmental programs that aimed to regenerate it. However, efforts in learning and innovations are needed in order to reinsert the country in this activity and achieve international levels of competitiveness. Based on literature about learning processes and continuous improvement practices and their impact in the innovative and productive processes, this paper aims to identify the main tendencies, mechanisms and procedures to improve the construction and management processes in the Brazilian naval construction industry. The methodology used for the data analysis classifies obtained information from magazines and annals of congresses of the sector, according to the established analysis categories (phenomena). Such categories study information related to the productive and technological processes of the industry, the main internal and external relations of the industrial park, the management of resources and processes, policies, investments, etc. The data was collected in the period 2004-2010, and more than 500 registers that show a dominance of the investment phenomenon, especially in the increase of productive capacity, were catalogued. In addition to this, there is evidence of modernization in the manufacturing plan and the equipment, diverse forms of cooperation, implementation of human resources management practices and engineering or processes and products. Hence, a process of catching up governs and is guided by modernization and increase training in this industry.

Gestão pública de resíduos sólidos urbanos na região do grande ABC

Este artigo traz os resultados de uma pesquisa descritiva realizada na Região do Grande ABC, e ele se justifica em virtude da responsabilidade do poder público no tocante à gestão dos Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos (RSU), especialmente a partir da Lei nº 12.305/2010, a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos. Objetivou-se descrever e comparar as práticas de gestão dos RSU adotadas pelas sete prefeituras dos municípios que integram a região. Foram realizadas 17 entrevistas com pessoas do poder público e cooperativas envolvidas com a gestão dos resíduos. Os dados foram analisados por análise de conteúdo. Concluímos que a coleta seletiva caminha a passos lentos na maioria dos municípios, no tocante à implementação e institucionalização. Os representantes das cooperativas manifestaram que a dependência do poder público e a mudança de governos interferem diretamente no desempenho da coleta seletiva, pois precisam se adequar a cada troca de governo, podendo provocar descontinuidades ou paralisações.
