The red pottery industry in Piauí state is well developed and stands out at the national context for the technical quality of its products. The floor and wall tile industry, however, is little developed since the state has only one company that produces red clay-based ceramic tiles. This thesis aims at using the predominantly illitic basic mass of the above mentioned industry, with the addition of feldspar and/or kaolin residue in order to obtain products of higher technical quality. Kaolin residue consists basically of kaolinite, muscovite mica and quartz; the feldspar used was potassic. In this experiment, basic mass (MB) was used for experimental control and fifteen formulations codified as follows: F2, F4, F8, F16, F32, FR2, FR4, FR8, FR16, FR32, R2, R4, R8, R16 and R32. All raw materials were dry-milled, classified, formulated and then humidified to 10% water. Thereafter, test samples were produced by unixial pressing process in a rectangular steel matrix (60.0 x 20.0 x 5.0) mm3 at (25 MPa). They were fired at four temperatures: 1080°C, 1120°C, 1160°C, with a heating rate of 10°C/min during up to 10 min in an electric oven, and the last one in an industrial oven with a peak of 1140°C, aim ing to confirm the results found in laboratory and, finally, technological tests were performed: MEA, RL, AA, PA, TRF and PF. The results revealed that the residue under study can be considered a raw material with large potential in the industry of red clay-based ceramic tiles, since the results found both in laboratory and in the industry have shown that the test samples produced from the formulations with up to 4% feldspar and those produced with up to 8% feldspar and residue permitted a reduction in the water absorption rate and an increase in the mechanical resistance while those samples produced with up to 4% residue had an increase in the mechanical resistance when compared to those produced from the basic mass and that the formulation with 2% feldspar and residue presented the best technological properties, lowering the sintering temperature down to 1120°C

Epoxy based nanocomposites with 1 wt % and 3 wt % of nanographite were processed by high shear mixing. The nanographite was obtained by chemical (acid intercalation), thermal (microwave expansion) and mechanical (ultrasonic exfoliation) treatments. The mechanical, electrical and thermal behavior of the nanocomposites was determined and evaluated as a function of the percentage of reinforcement. According to the experimental results, the electrical conductivity of epoxy was not altered by the addition of nanographite in the contents evaluated. However, based on the mechanical tests, nanocomposites with addition of 1 wt.% and 3 wt.% of nanographite showed increase in tensile strength of 16,62 % and 3,20 %, respectively, compared to the neat polymer. The smaller increase in mechanical strength of the nanocomposite with 3 wt.% of nanographite was related to the formation of agglomerates. The addition of 1 wt.% and 3 wt.% of nanographite also resulted in a decrease of 6,25 % and 17,60 %, respectively, in the relative density of the material. Thus, the specific strength of the nanocomposites was approximately 33,33 % greater when compared to the neat polymer. The addition of 1 wt.% and 3 wt.% of nanographite in the material increased the mean values of thermal conductivity in 28,33 % and 132,62 %, respectively, combined with a reduction of 26,11 % and 49,80 % in volumetric thermal capacity, respectively. In summary, it has been determined that an addition of nanographite of the order of 1 wt.% and 3 wt.% produced notable elevations in specific strength and thermal conductivity of epoxy

The development of new materials to fill the demand of technological advances is a challenge for many researchers around the world. Strategies such as making blends and composites are promising alternatives to produce materials with different properties from those found in conventional polymers. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of adding the copolymer poly(ethylene methyl acrylate) (EMA) and cotton linter fibers (LB) on the properties of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PETrec) by the development of PETrec/EMA blend and PETrec/EMA/LB blend composite. In order to improve the properties of these materials were added as compatibilizers: Ethylene - methyl acrylate - glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer (EMA-GMA) and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA). The samples were produced using a single screw extruder and then injection molded. The obtained materials were characterized by thermogravimetry (TG), melt flow index (MFI) mensurements, torque rheometry, pycnometry to determinate the density, tensile testing and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The rheological results showed that the addition of the EMA copolymer increased the viscosity of the blend and LB reduces the viscosity of the blend composite. SEM analysis of the binary blend showed poor interfacial adhesion between the PETrec matrix and the EMA dispersed phase, as well as the blend composite of PETrec/EMA/LB also observed low adhesion with the LB fiber. The tensile tests showed that the increase of EMA percentage decreased the tensile strength and the Young s modulus, also lower EMA percentage samples had increased the elongation at break. The blend composite showed an increase in the tensile strength and in the Young`s modulus, and a decrease in the elongation at break. The blend formulations with lower EMA percentages showed better mechanical properties that agree with the particle size analysis which showed that these formulations presented a smaller diameter of the dispersed phase. The blend composite mechanical tests showed that this material is stronger and stiffer than the blend PETrec/EMA, whose properties have been reduced due to the presence of EMA rubbery phase. The use of EMA-GMA was effective in reducing the particle size of the EMA dispersed phase in the PETrec/EMA blend and PE-g-MA showed evidences of reaction with LB and physical mixture with the EMA

A evolução dos betões, na procura de estruturas com um maior tempo de vida útil, melhor desempenho ou menores custos de manutenção, tem sido alvo de pesquisa por investigadores de todo o mundo. Neste sentido, o desenvolvimento dos betões de ultra-elevado desempenho (UHPC – Ultra High Performance Concrete), permitiu, desde o seu desenvolvimento inicial, uma multiplicidade de aplicações quer a nível estrutural ou arquitetónico, aportando a estes elementos, vantagens características deste material de construção. No entanto, e particularizando um dos seus constituintes, a aplicação tradicional de fibras metálicas na composição de UHPC, poderá originar alguns fenómenos indesejados de perda de durabilidade, nomeadamente por corrosão destas. Por consequência, julga-se pertinente encontrar alternativas a este componente, de forma a que se obtenha um nível de desempenho semelhante, diminuindo o risco de ocorrência dos fenómenos anteriormente referidos. Neste sentido, o estudo que aqui se apresenta, visa efetuar uma breve abordagem à aplicação de fibras em materiais alternativos tais como fibra de vidro ou fibra de polipropileno. Serão analisadas algumas propriedades em estado fresco e endurecido de várias misturas de betão, com diferentes aplicações de fibras, quer em tipo, quer em dosagem.

The construction industry is one of the largest consumers of natural raw materials, and concrete is considered today the most used material wide. This accentuated consumption of natural resources has generated concern with the preservation of the environment, and has motivated various studies related to the use of resid ues, which can partially or entirely substitute, with satisfactory performance, some materials such as the aggregate, and in so doing, decrease the impact on the environment caused by the produced residues. Research has been done to better understand and improve the microstructure of concrete, as well as to understand the mechanism of corrosion in reinforced steel. In this context, this work was developed aiming at discovering the influence of the substitution of natural sand by artificial sand, with rega rd to mechanical resistance, microstructure, and durability. To obtain the electrochemical parameters, an adaptation was made to the galvanostatic electrochemical method to study the corrosion in reinforced steel. Concretes of categories 20 MPa and 40 MPa were produced, containing natural sand, and concretes of the same categories were produced with artificial sand substituting the natural sand, and with the addition of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride. Due to the use of rock dust reject (artificial sand), an evaluation was made of its environmental risk. The results indicate that the concretes of category 20 MPa present a better performance than the concrete made with natural sand, thus making it a viable substitute. For the category 40 MPa, the better performance is from the concrete containing natural sand. The adaptation of the galvanostatic electrochemical technique to the study of the corrosion of reinforced steel within concrete proved to be valid for obtaining electrochemical parameters with a high degree of reliability, considering the number of degrees of freedom

Steam injection is the most used thermal recovery method of oil nowadays because of the high degree of development of the technique that allows high recovery factors. However, injection of superheated steam into the reservoir affects the entire structure of the well, including the cemented layer that presents a retrogression of compressive strength and increases the permeability due to formation of more crystalline and denser phases at temperatures above 110 °C. These changes result in failures in the cement that favor the entrance of formation fluids into the annulus space resulting in unsafe operations and restrictions in the economic life of the well. But the strength retrogression can be prevented by partial replacement of cement by silica-based materials that reduce the CaO/SiO2 ratio of cement slurries changing the trajectory of the reactions, converting those deleterious phases in phases with satisfactory mechanical strength and permeability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of a ceramic waste material rich in silica in partial and total substitution of a mineral additive used to fight the strength retrogression of cement slurries subjected to high temperatures. The evaluation was made by compression, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). The samples were submitted to a cycle of low temperature (38 °C) for 28 days and a cycle of low temperature followed by exposure to 280 ºC and 1000 psi by 3 days. The results showed that slurries with additions of up to 30% of the waste material are not enough to prevent the strength retrogression, while slurries with additions of the waste material combined with silica flour in various proportions produced hydrated products of low Ca/Si ratios that maintained the compressive strength at satisfactory levels

The preparation of cement slurries for offshore well cementing involves mixing all solid components to be added to the mixing water on the platform. The aim of this work was to study the formulation of pre-prepared dry mixtures, or grouts, for offshore oilwell cementing. The addition of mineral fillers in the strength of lightweight grouts applied for depths down to 400 m under water depths of 500 m was investigated. Lightweight materials and fine aggregates were selected. For the choice of starting materials, a study of the pozzolanic activity of low-cost fillers such as porcelain tile residue, microsilica and diatomaceous earth was carried out by X-ray diffraction and mechanical strength tests. Hardened grouts containing porcelain tile residue and microsilica depicted high strength at early ages. Based on such preliminary investigation, a study of the mechanical strength of grouts with density 1.74 g/cm3 (14.5 lb/gal) cured initially at 27 °C was performed using cement, microsilica, porcelain tile residue and an anti-foaming agent. The results showed that the mixture containing 7% of porcelain tile residue and 7% of microsilica was the one with the highest compressive strength after curing for 24 hours. This composition was chosen to be studied and adapted for offshore conditions based on testes performed at 4 °C. The grout containing cement, 7% of porcelain tile residue, 7% of active silica and admixtures (CaCl2), anti-foaming and dispersant resulted satisfactory rheology and mechanical strength after curing for 24 hours of curing

A reciclagem de resíduos sólidos industriais tem-se tornado uma prática indispensável na preservação de recursos naturais, minimização de custos e redução de impacto ambiental. Dentro deste contexto destaca-se a indústria da construção civil, com enorme potencial de reciclagem, tendo em vista o grande volume de materiais consumidos. A utilização de materiais alternativos neste setor é uma prática economicamente atraente e ambientalmente correta. Sendo assim, o emprego de escórias como matéria-prima em estradas, aterro, concreto e cimento já é uma prática corrente, onde o destino mais nobre destes materiais recicláveis depende da existência de características adequadas ao uso proposto. A escória granulada de fundição (EGF) é um resíduo gerado no processo de fusão de sucatas de ferro fundido via forno cubilô. Ensaios realizados mostram que esta escória, quando finamente moída, apresenta propriedades pozolânicas. Além disso, sua estrutura amorfa, resultante do processo de geração através de resfriamento brusco e composição química adequada podem permitir uma aplicação nobre deste resíduo, como substituição ao cimento. Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a viabilidade da utilização de escória granulada de fundição como substituição de parte do cimento em concreto, através da avaliação de suas propriedades mecânicas. Para tanto foram moldados corpos-de-prova de concreto com diferentes combinações de teores de substituição de cimento por escória granulada de fundição (10%, 30% e 50%), em volume, e relações água/aglomerante (0,40; 0,55 e 0,70), comparando-se com o concreto referência. Para cada idade do concreto (7, 28 e 91 dias) realizaram-se ensaios mecânicos, tais como, resistência à compressão uniaxial, resistência à tração por compressão diametral e resistência à tração na flexão. Além disso, foram realizadas avaliação da microestrutura e caracterização ambiental de concretos com EGF, comparativamente ao concreto referência. Os resultados mostram que o teor de 10% de substituição de cimento por escória granulada de fundição, em volume, apresentou desempenho mecânico similar ao concreto referência. A caracterização ambiental dos concretos com EGF mostra que este material é considerado inerte (NBR 10004).

Com a redução das reservas naturais de nutrientes e o alto custo dos fertilizantes, tem aumentado a busca por fontes alternativas, sendo a escória de siderurgia uma opção, uma vez que possui compostos neutralizantes da acidez do solo e elementos químicos importantes para a nutrição das plantas. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar as alterações, nas características químicas do solo e nos teores de nutrientes e de metais pesados, na cana-de-açúcar, em função de doses crescentes de escória de siderurgia. Os tratamentos foram compostos por oito doses de escória de aciaria: 0; 0,5; 1,0; 2,5; 5,0; 10; 20; 40 t ha-1, mais um tratamento adicional composto por uma dose de 2,5 t ha-1 de calcário, totalizando nove tratamentos, distribuídos em blocos ao acaso, com três repetições. Foram determinadas as características químicas de solo e planta, bem como a produtividade da cana-de-açúcar. A aplicação de escória no solo elevou o pH, a saturação por bases e os teores de P, Ca, B, Fe e Mn, não influenciando os teores de K e Mg. Mesmo aplicando-se doses mais elevadas, não houve alteração nos teores dos metais pesados Cd, Pb e Ni do solo. Houve elevação do teor de Cr. O teor de P na folha e no colmo da cana-de-açúcar apresentou tendência de aumento com as doses de escória, não havendo influência para os demais nutrientes, como, também, para os metais pesados. Houve elevação da produtividade tanto da cana-planta como da cana-soca.

This work was done with the objective of studying some physical and mechanical characteristics of the sugarcane bagasse ash added to a soil-cement mixture, in order to obtain an alternative construction material. The sugarcane bagasse ash pre-treatment included both sieving and grinding, before mixing with soil and cement. Different proportions of cement-ash were tested by determining its standard consistence and its compressive resistance at 7 and 28 days age. The various treatments were subsequently applied to the specimens molded with different soil-cement-ash mixtures which in turns were submitted to compaction, unconfined compression and water absorption laboratory tests. The results showed that it is possible to replace up to 20% of Portland cement by sugarcane bagasse ash without any damage to the mixture's compressive strength.

O mapeamento do uso da terra é fundamental para o entendimento dos processos de mudanças globais, especialmente em regiões como a Amazônia que estão sofrendo grande pressão de desenvolvimento. Tradicionalmente estes mapeamentos têm sido feitos utilizando técnicas de interpretação visual de imagens de satélites, que, embora de resultados satisfatórios, demandam muito tempo e alto custo. Neste trabalho é proposta uma técnica de segmentação da imagens com base em um algoritmo de crescimento de regiões, seguida de uma classificação não-supervisionada por regiões. Desta forma, a classificação temática se refere a um conjunto de elementos (pixels da imagem), beneficiando-se portanto da informação contextual e minimizando as limitações das técnicas de processamento digital baseadas em análise pontual (pixel-a-pixel). Esta técnica foi avaliada numa área típica da Amazônia, situada ao norte de Manaus, AM, utilizando imagens do sensor "Thematic Mapper" - TM do satélite Landsat, tanto na sua forma original quanto decomposta em elementos puros como vegetação verde, vegetação seca (madeira), sombra e solo, aqui denominada imagem misturas. Os resultados foram validados por um mapa de referência gerado a partir de técnicas consagradas de interpretação visual, com verificação de campo, e indicaram que a classificação automática é viável para o mapeamento de uso da terra na Amazônia. Testes estatísticos indicaram que houve concordância significativa entre as classificações automáticas digitais e o mapa de referência (em tomo de 95% de confiança).

A acidez elevada dos solos da região sudeste e centro-oeste do Brasil predomina onde se concentra a maior área cultivada com cana-de-açúcar. Grandes depósitos de escória de siderurgia, que contêm nutrientes como cálcio e magnésio e apresentam ação corretiva de acidez, localizam-se também naquelas regiões. O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar diferentes níveis de saturação por bases, utilizando como corretivo do solo a escória de siderurgia, comparando-a com calcário calcítico, nas alterações de alguns atributos químicos do solo, bem como na resposta da cana-de-açúcar, durante os dois primeiros cortes. Para isto, foi realizado um experimento com a cana-de-açúcar, variedade SP 80-1842, nos anos agrícolas 98/99 e 99/00. Os tratamentos, dispostos em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial com quatro repetições, constaram de duas fontes de corretivos, calcário calcítico e escória de siderurgia, e quatro níveis de correção, estimados pelo método da saturação por bases (V%): testemunha sem correção e correção para V% de 50, 75 e 100. Concluiu-se que os efeitos da aplicação do calcário e da escória de siderurgia foram semelhantes na correção da acidez do solo, na elevação da concentração de cálcio e magnésio do solo e na saturação por bases. As doses de calcário proporcionaram efeito quadrático sobre a produtividade e perfilhamento da cana-de-açúcar, enquanto as de escória resultaram em resposta linear.
