O conhecimento das causas dos incêndios florestais, e dos respetivos fatores de ignição, é indispensável para a eficaz implementação de medidas que visem a prevenção da sua ocorrência. Na bacia do Mediterrâneo as causas que estão na origem dos incêndios florestais são maioritariamente humanas, ficando a dever-se a causas naturais uma ínfima parte das ignições. Por sua vez, as causas dos incêndios, além de diferirem de país para país, são também espacialmente distintas dentro do mesmo país, pois a sua incidência espacial depende de um conjunto específico de fatores regionais, associados não só às componentes ambientais, onde se incluem as condições climático-meteorológicas, o relevo, as caraterísticas dos combustíveis, entre outras, mas também às atitudes e aos comportamentos humanos. Com o presente trabalho pretende-se (i) analisar, à escala do município, a distribuição espacial das principais causas que estão na origem das ignições, no período compreendido entre 2001 e 2012, tendo por base os incêndios florestais investigados e cuja causa foi apurada, dando particular ênfase às causas negligentes (e dentro destas às denominadas de queimadas, que se relacionam com a queima pelo fogo de combustíveis agrícolas e florestais) e às causas intencionais (onde se integra o incendiarismo), (ii) detetar inter-relações entre variáveis biofísicas, socioeconómicas e a incidência de determinado tipo de causa de ignição.

A definição de teores mínimos de incorporação de biocombustíveis, constitui objeto de discussão entre grupos pro-desenvolvimento e ambientalistas. Esses últimos argumentam que as consequências da utilização desta fonte energética ainda são desconhecidas. Além disso, alegam que a produção de biocombustíveis é, em parte, responsável pelo aumento no preço dos alimentos, encoraja a conversão de florestas em monoculturas e conduz à exploração de trabalhadores em países em desenvolvimento (PEDs). Para responder à dependência energética dos combustíveis de origem fóssil, e ajudar a reduzir as emissões de gases com efeito de estufa, sobretudo no sector dos transportes, o biodiesel produzido a partir de óleos alimentares usados têm sido apontado como uma “solução verde” capaz de minimizar o problema das alterações climáticas e valorizar um resíduo, e simultaneamente conferir ao setor energético um pouco mais de independência. De forma a desmistificar e clarificar um pouco estas premissas, a presente dissertação pretende fazer um estudo de avaliação do impacto da utilização do biodiesel, nomeadamente no que diz respeito às emissões gasosas. Posteriormente realizou-se, tomando como referência uma pequena frota industrial existente, uma análise comparativa dos consumos e emissões dos principais poluentes decorrentes da utilização do biodiesel em diferentes percentagens de incorporação no gasóleo, comparativamente ao gasóleo puro. O trabalho culmina com uma abordagem técnica sobre o comportamento de um veículo equipado com um motor de ignição por compressão, utilizando como biocombustível o biodiesel.

Desde a idade média, quando ardiam cidades inteiras, a humanidade tem aprendido muito e tem desenvolvido constantes esforços para evitar e circunscrever os incêndios. Estes esforços, no entanto, foram compensados pelo surgir de outras fontes de ignição e da crescente cargas combustíveis. Hoje, praticamente todos os lares e empresas possuem computadores, televisores, lâmpadas halogenas, máquinas de café e outros aparelhos eletricos, bem como equipamentos de aquecimento e de ar condicionado, etc. A maioria destes dispositivos incluem uma unidade de alimentação e outros módulos electrónicos, constituindo, assim, potenciais fontes de ignição. Mas os incêndios também podem ser estabelecidos de forma intencional. A percentagem de incêndios de origem criminosa já e de 25 a 40%, e os valores estão a aumentar [1]. Os incêndios provocados intencionalmente propagam-se frequentemente muito mais rapidamente tornando o seu combate extremamente difícil. Em media, esses tipo de incêndios são três vezes mais dispendiosos que a media das ocorrências dos incêndio[2].

Como qualquer outro desastre natural, os incêndios tem vindo a influenciar os ecossistemas, provocando constantes mudanças. Nem todos os ecossistemas estão adaptados para o aumento em termos de frequência e tamanho dos incêndios florestais. A incidência de incêndios em termos de tamanho, frequência e intensidade tem aumentado significativamente na Reserva Nacional do Niassa. Os esforços para a prevenção por forma a reduzir a frequência e intensidade do fogo ainda são insuficientes. Além disso, a produção de mapas de risco de incêndio ainda é bastante reduzida em Moçambique. A capacidade de prever a ocorrência de ignição do fogo constitui um instrumento importante para os gestores, ajudando a definir as prioridades entre as áreas de risco equivalente, e para melhorar a eficácia da prevenção de incêndios bem na alocação de recursos de combate a incêndios. O objectivo geral deste estudo era o de modelar o risco de incêndio florestal para a Reserva Nacional do Niassa. Nesse sentido, foram consideradas variáveis biofísicas e antropogénicas. Os principais factores que influenciam a ocorrência de incêndios florestais na reserva são: uso e cobertura, a densidade de elefantes, a distância as vias de acesso, o declive e a precipitação. Os componentes em risco foram identificados e os danos potenciais estimados. Como resultado final foram apresentados dois mapas: um mapa de perigosidade de incêndio florestal e outro de risco. A metodologia utilizada permitiu avaliar onde é mais provável que ocorra um incêndio e o maior potencial para a perda.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar e apresentar a análise de viabilidade técnica e econômica no projeto de utilização da biomassa de Pistia Stratiotes (Alface d’água) como combustível sólido em fornalha industrial. Para isto apresenta-se o estudo de caso em uma unidade da Vale Fertilizantes, no município de Cajati, no estado de São Paulo. A análise de viabilidade técnica baseia-se nos resultados encontrados pelas análises de composição realizadas na biomassa, na pesquisa do sistema de coleta e preparação, nos cálculos desenvolvidos para encontrar a produtividade, como a biomassa poderia ser consumida e no estudo da eficiência da fornalha industrial do caso. Para demonstrar a viabilidade econômica, este estudo recorre ao modelo clássico de Engenharia Econômica com a observação dos índices e taxas como: Taxa Mínima de Atratividade (TMA), Valor Presente Líquido (VPL), Taxa Interna de Retorno (TIR), Período de Recuperação do Capital Investido (Payback) e na Análise de Sensibilidade. Observou-se nos resultados técnicos que as características da biomassa de alface d’água ajudam nas etapas de ignição e combustão do combustível, no entanto esta biomassa apresenta baixo poder calorífico inferior para sua utilização sem mistura combustível em fornalhas industriais. Os resultados econômicos apresentaram-se positivos à utilização da biomassa, e o projeto mostrou-se consistente e de rápida recuperação do capital investido. Este estudo de caso demonstra que o estudo da utilização da biomassa de alface d’água como combustível sólido em fornalha industrial é viável tecnicamente e economicamente. E muito além disto, mostra que estudos deste tipo devem ser desenvolvidos na busca pela diversificação da matriz energética através de energia renovável.

Metal substrates were coated by thermal spraying plasma torch, they were positioned at a distance of 4 and 5 cm from the nozzle exit of the plasma jet. The starting materials were used for deposition of tantalum oxide powder and aluminium. These two materials were mixed and ground into high-energy mill, then immersed in the torch for the production of alumina coating infused with particles of tantalum with nano and micrometric size. The spraying equipment used is a plasma torch arc not transferred, which operating in the range of 250 A and 80 V, was able to produce enough heat to ignite aluminothermic between Ta2O5 and aluminum. Upon reaching the plasma jet, the mixing powders react with the heat of the blaze, which provides sufficient energy for melting aluminum particles. This energy is transferred through mechanisms of self-propagating to the oxide, beginning a reduction reaction, which then hits on the surface of the substrate and forms a coating on which a composite is formed by a junction metal - ceramic (Ta +Al2O3). The phases and quantification of each were obtained respectively by X-ray diffraction and the Rietveld method. Morphology by scanning electron microscopy and chemical analysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy EDS. It was also performed measurements of the substrate roughness, Vickers microhardness measurements in sprays and determination of the electron temperature of the plasma jet by optical emission spectroscopy EEO. The results confirmed the expectation generated around the end product of spraying the mixture Ta2O5 + Al, both in the formation of nano-sized particles and in their final form. The electron excitation temperature was consistent with the purpose of work, in addition, the thermodynamic temperature was efficient for the reduction process of Ta2O5.

In this study it was used two metallic oxides, Ta2O5 and TiO2, in order to obtain metallic powders of Ta and Ti through aluminothermic reduction ignited by plasma. Ta2O5 and TiO2 powders were mixed with Al in a planetary mill, using different milling times. A thermal analysis study (DTA and TG) was carried out, in order to know the temperature to react both the mixtures. Then, these mixtures were submitted to a hollow cathode discharge, where they were reacted using aluminothermic reduction ignited by plasma. The product obtained was characterized by XRD and SEM, where it was proven the possibility of producing these metallic particles, different from the conventional process, where metallic ingots are obtained. It was verified that the aluminothermic reduction ignited by plasma is able to produce metallic powders of Ta and Ti, and a higher efficiency was observed to the process with Ta2O5-Al mixtures. Among different microstructural aspects observed, it can be noted the presence of metallic nanoparticles trapped into an Al2O3 matrix, besides acicular structures (titanium) and dendritic structures (tantalum), which are a product characteristic from a fast cooling

The use of biofuels remotes to the eighteenth century, when Rudolf Diesel made the first trials using peanut oil as fuel in a compression ignition engine. Based on these trials, there was the need for some chemical change to vegetable oil. Among these chemical transformations, we can mention the cracking and transesterification. This work aims at conducting a study using the thermocatalytic and thermal cracking of sunflower oil, using the Al-MCM-41 catalyst. The material type mesoporous Al-MCM-41 was synthesized and characterized by Hydrothermical methods of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption, absorption spectroscopy in the infrared and thermal gravimetric analysis (TG / DTG).The study was conducted on the thermogravimetric behavior of sunflower oil on the mesoporous catalyst cited. Activation energy, conversion, and oil degradation as a function of temperature were estimated based on the integral curves of thermogravimetric analysis and the kinetic method of Vyazovkin. The mesoporous material Al-MCM-41 showed one-dimensional hexagonal formation. The study of the kinetic behavior of sunflower oil with the catalyst showed a lower activation energy against the activation energy of pure sunflower oil. Two liquid fractions of sunflower oil were obtained, both in thermal and thermocatalytic pyrolisis. The first fraction obtained was called bio-oil and the second fraction obtained was called acid fraction. The acid fraction collected, in thermal and thermocatalytic pyrolisis, showed very high level of acidity, which is why it was called acid fraction. The first fraction was collected bio-called because it presented results in the range similar to petroleum diesel

Ceramic substrates have been investigated by researchers around the world and has achieved a high interest in the scientific community, because they had high dielectric constants and excellent performance in the structures employed. Such ceramics result in miniaturized structures with dimensions well reduced and high radiation efficiency. In this work, we have used a new ceramic material called lead zinc titanate in the form of Zn0,8Pb0,2TiO3, capable of being used as a dielectric substrate in the construction of various structures of antennas. The method used in constructing the ceramic combustion synthesis was Self- Sustained High Temperature (SHS - "Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis") which is defined as a process that uses highly exothermic reactions to produce various materials. Once initiated the reaction area in the reaction mixture, the heat generated is sufficient to become self-sustaining combustion in the form of a wave that propagates converting the reaction mixture into the product of interest. Were analyzed aspects of the formation of the composite Zn0,8Pb0,2TiO3 by SHS powders and characterized. The analysis consisted of determining the parameters of the reaction for the formation of the composite, as the ignition temperature and reaction mechanisms. The production of composite Zn0,8Pb0,2TiO3 by SHS performed in the laboratory, was the result of a total control of combustion temperature and after obtaining the powder began the development of ceramics. The product was obtained in the form of regular, alternating layers of porous ceramics and was obtained by uniaxial pressing. 10 The product was characterized by analysis of dilatometry, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy.

Biodiesel is a fuel made up by mono-alkyl-esters of long chain fatty acids, derived from vegetable oils or animal fat. This fuel can be used in compression ignition engines for automotive propulsion or energy generation, as a partial or total substitute of fossil diesel fuel. Biodiesel can be processed from different mechanisms. Transesterification is the most common process for obtaining biodiesel, in which an ester compound reacts with an alcohol to form a new ester and a new alcohol. These reactions are normally catalyzed by the addition of an acid or a base. Initially sunflower, castor and soybean oil physicochemical properties are determined according to standard test methods, to evaluate if they had favorable conditions for use as raw material in the transesterification reaction. Sunflower, castor and soybean biodiesel were obtained by the methylic transesterification route in the presence of KOH and presented a yield above 93% m/m. The sunflower/castor and soybean/castor blends were studied with the aim of evaluating the thermal and oxidative stability of the biofuels. The biodiesel and blends were characterized by acid value, iodine value, density, flash point, sulfur content, and content of methanol and esters by gas chromatography (GC). Also studies of thermal and oxidative stability by Thermogravimetry (TG), Differential Scanning Calorimetry High Pressure (P-DSC) and dynamic method exothermic and Rancimat were carried out. Biodiesel sunflower and soybean are presented according to the specifications established by the Resolution ANP no 7/2008. Biodiesel from castor oil, as expected, showed a high density and kinematic viscosity. For the blends studied, the concentration of castor biodiesel to increased the density, kinematic viscosity and flash point. The addition of castor biodiesel as antioxidant in sunflower and soybean biodiesels is promising, for a significant improvement in resistance to autoxidation and therefore on its oxidative stability. The blends showed that compliance with the requirements of the ANP have been included in the range of 20-40%. This form may be used as a partial substitute of fossil diesel
