Metodologia para implantação de um sistema de disposição de rejeitos em minério de ferro na região do semiárido: estudo de caso

Tailings dams are structures that aims to retain the solid waste and water from mining processes. Its analysis and planning begins with searching of location for deployment, step on which to bind all kinds of variables that directly or indirectly influence the work, such as geological, hydrological, tectonic, topographic, geotechnical, environmental, social characteristics, evaluation security risks, among others. Thus, this paper aims to present a study on the most appropriate and secure type of busbar to design a layout structure of iron ore tailings, taking into account all the above mentioned variables. The case study involves the assessment of sites for location of dams of tailings disposal beneficiation of iron mine to be built in Bonito, in the municipality of Jucurutu in Seridó Potiguar. For site selection among alternatives, various aspects of the current state of the art were considered, one that causes the least environmental impact, low cost investment, adding value to the product and especially the safety of the implanted structure mitigates the concern about induced earthquakes as a result of liquefaction wastes somatized by dams in the region, as the tilling of Mina Bonito is located practically in the hydraulic basin dam Armando Ribeiro in environmental protection (APA). The methodology compares induced by dams in the semiarid region with the characteristics of the waste disposal and sterile seismicity, taking into account the enhancement of liquefaction by the action of seismicity in the Mina Bonito region. With the fulcrum in the methodology, we indicated the best busbar type for disposal of tailings from iron ore or combination of them, to be designed and built in semiarid particularly for Mina Bonito. Also presents a number of possible uses for the tailings and in engineering activities, which may cause processing to the common good.

Desenvolvimento de metodologia de extração e pré-concentração utilizando sistema microemulsionado para determinação de Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb e Tl em águas naturais e produzidas por HR-CS AAS

The determination and monitoring of metallic contaminants in water is a task that must be continuous, leading to the importance of the development, modification and optimization of analytical methodologies capab le of determining the various metal contaminants in natural environments, because, in many cases, the ava ilable instrumentation does not provide enough sensibility for the determination of trace values . In this study, a method of extraction and pre- concentration using a microemulsion system with in the Winsor II equilibrium was tested and optimized for the determination of Co, Cd, P b, Tl, Cu and Ni through the technique of high- resolution atomic absorption spectrometry using a continuum source (HR-CS AAS). The optimization of the temperature program for the graphite furnace (HR-CS AAS GF) was performed through the pyrolysis and atomization curves for the analytes Cd, Pb, Co and Tl with and without the use of different chemical modifiers. Cu and Ni we re analyzed by flame atomization (HR-CS F AAS) after pre-concentr ation, having the sample introduction system optimized for the realization of discrete sampling. Salinity and pH levels were also analyzed as influencing factors in the efficiency of the extraction. As final numbers, 6 g L -1 of Na (as NaCl) and 1% of HNO 3 (v/v) were defined. For the determination of the optimum extraction point, a centroid-simplex statistical plan was a pplied, having chosen as the optimum points of extraction for all of the analytes, the follo wing proportions: 70% aqueous phase, 10% oil phase and 20% co-surfactant/surfactant (C/S = 4). After extraction, the metals were determined and the merit figures obtained for the proposed method were: LOD 0,09, 0,01, 0,06, 0,05, 0,6 and 1,5 μg L -1 for Pb, Cd, Tl, Co, Cu and Ni, re spectively. Line ar ranges of ,1- 2,0 μg L -1 for Pb, 0,01-2,0 μg L -1 for Cd, 1,0 - 20 μg L -1 for Tl, 0,1-5,0 μg L -1 for Co, 2-200 μg L -1 and for Cu e Ni 5-200 μg L -1 were obtained. The enrichment factors obtained ranged between 6 and 19. Recovery testing with the certified sample show ed recovery values (n = 3, certified values) after extraction of 105 and 101, 100 and 104% for Pb, Cd, Cu and Ni respectively. Samples of sweet waters of lake Jiqui, saline water from Potengi river and water produced from the oil industry (PETROBRAS) were spiked and the recovery (n = 3) for the analytes were between 80 and 112% confirming th at the proposed method can be used in the extraction. The proposed method enabled the sepa ration of metals from complex matrices, and with good pre-concentration factor, consistent with the MPV (allowed limits) compared to CONAMA Resolution No. 357/2005 which regulat es the quality of fresh surface water, brackish and saline water in Brazil.

O sistema aquífero Barreiras na região de Parnamirim, RN: uso das águas e potencialidades

The study area is within the Pirangi River Basin, eastern sector of Rio Grande do Norte state, where is located of the Parnamirim city. It has an area of approximately 370 km². Urbanization has developed much fast without an appropriate infrastructure, mainly by the lack of sewage systems, with risks of contamination of groundwater that may cause serious damage to the health of the population. The Barreiras Aquifer System groundwater in the area represents the main source of water supply for urban and rural populations. The use of groundwater occurs without adequate planning and therefore, important recharge areas are being occupied. This study was conducted to quantify the use and evaluation of the potential of groundwater, in order to increase good water quality supply and lower risks of being affected by polluting activities. With these objectives, the following activities were carried out: 268 points of water have been registered; characterization of the lithological, thickness and hydrogeological structure of the Barreiras aquifer, based on the correlation of well logs; and evaluation of hydrodynamic parameters of the aquifer, from the interpretation of results well pumping tests. It was found that the saturated thickness increases from west to east towards the sea, with values ranging from 15,47-56,5 m with an average of 32,45 m. The hydrodynamic parameters using Cooper-Jacob method were: average transmissivity of 5,9x10-3 m²/s and average hydraulic conductivity 2,82x10-4 m/s. The effective porosity is of 15%, obtained by applying Biecinski equation. The potentiometric map shows the main direction of groundwater flow, from west to east, and identifies the recharge areas corresponding to the region of the tablelands of the "Barreiras". The river valleys refer to the discharge areas of the aquifer system. The Recharge was estimated at 253 mm/year, which corresponds to the 16.4% rate of infiltration.

Projeto de intervenção adaptando o Balanced Scorecard ao sistema de compras da Base Aérea de Natal

The present proposal for intervention examines the issue of public procurements carried out by a military organization on a Federal Public Administration. The main objective of this paper is to propose a model of strategic planning based on the Balanced Scorecard for the public procurement system, which contributes to increased efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness of acquisitions made in the Air Base of Natal city. Therefore, Structured interviews were used in order to make a diagnosis of the current reality of the procurement system along with the main requirement sectors of BANT, as well as the adaptation of the prospects of the BSC based on literature review. The technique used for the analysis of the interviews was the analysis of content whose results contributed to the preparation of the conceptual Strategic Map which was submitted to validation through a Focal Group. It was concluded through the analysis of the interviews, that the system of purchases of BANT is in a tactical profile because of low interaction between the system of purchases and the requirement sectors, aiming only at the “economicity” of acquisition in opposition of the effectiveness of material acquired, the lack of training of the elements which build the system and the absence of a proper planning. It is intended with thecreation of this proposal to contribute to the improvement of management with a focus on results in public administration as well as increasing efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness of public procurements. Whereas for the particular case the measurement of the results can only be performed after at least a year of its implementation, the present research constitutes a proposal of intervention.

Processo de planejamento estratégico em universidade pública: o caso da Universidade Federal do Pará

The goal of this research is to check if the strategic planning developed between 2001 and 2009 into the State University of Para (Universidade Federal do Pará - UFPA) was consolidated into its Academic Centers as a management practice. To this end, we identified the planning formalization degree of the Academic Centers, the conceived tools for the planning, the conception and the methodological process used in the tools elaboration, as also its implementation. The research used a qualitative approach: it is descriptive and it uses the case study technique. The data were gathered from primary and secondary sources, through bibliography, documents, and field researches through semi-structure interviews. The analysis and data interpretation were done by each investigated Academic Center from the analytics categories guided by the specifics goals. We used theoretic fundamental based principles and the university as a study empiric reference based on its structure analysis, organizational processes and institutional strategic plan. We inspected how the strategic planning process was developed throughout the fixed period and how the investigated Academic Centers are from the collected documents and interviews. The theoretical foundation was built from three axis: the Brazilian undergraduate and posgraduate education system; the university itself including its singularity and complexity as an organization; and the planning as a strategic management process. The main results show us that the UFPA has updated regulatory milestones, presenting organizational structure, laws, instructions, manuals and deployed management model that give the strategic planning development conditions beyond its administration, i. e., into its Academic Centers. The centers also present those established milestones and develop the basic planning processes of the institution. Those processes are conceived based on the institutional strategic planning and the managers mainly use the procedural orientation defined by the university management, from where the conceptual foundation is originated and propagated. According to the literature and to the research done in this work, we can conclude that the Academic Centers from the UFPA developed the strategic planning practice. This planning is organized and founded and guided the plans and decisions which avoided the disordered management and, according to the managers, allowed the advances and performance improvement. We can conclude that the UFPA built an important foundation with respect to the management professionalization. On the other hand, we can not conclude that the management practice is consolidated since there are weaknesses into the structuring of the technical teams and there is not any management tool for the implementation of the elaborated plans

Planejamento e gestão ambiental em estabelecimento dedicado à produção integrada de morango na região de Valinhos/SP.

O mercado consumidor exige produtos agrícolas com altos padrões de qualidade e segurança e, segundo Gutierrez (2005), essa tendência se deve tanto à apreciação positiva por parte do consumidor a aspectos relacionados à aparência e às características sensoriais, como da garantia de segurança e qualidade. Para que esses padrões de qualidade sejam alcançados, torna-se cada vez mais importante a qualificação do produtor, mantendo-o inserido no mercado e viabilizando um novo padrão de produção agrícola que beneficie tanto os produtores, que podem ter acesso ao melhor nível de renda e de condições de trabalho, como os consumidores, que podem ingerir produtos mais saudáveis, mais seguros e com menor impacto ambiental na sua produção. A cultura do morango necessita de alto uso de insumos, irrigação, plásticos de cobertura de solo, dentre outros materiais. Hoje já se constata a resistência de alguns nichos de mercado quanto à segurança do morango devido ao grande uso de agrotóxicos, principalmente fungicidas durante o cultivo (SILVA, 2006). O uso intensivo de agrotóxicos além de resultar num custo de produção mais elevado, pode comprometer a qualidade do morango e gerar rejeição nos consumidores, estigmatizando o produto. A produção integrada auxilia a cadeia produtiva dessa cultura, pois objetiva a proteção dos recursos naturais, a minimização no uso de agrotóxicos, o atendimento aos requisitos sociais, a proteção da saúde humana (produtores, colaboradores e consumidores), a garantia da qualidade e da segurança dos alimentos (ANDRIGUETO; KOSOSKI, 2005). Instrumentos de extrema importância para o desenvolvimento sustentável e para apoiar os produtores rurais no processo de conversão para a produção integrada são os métodos de avaliação de impactos ambientais simplificados e participativos (CALEGARIO et al., 2008). Além disso, ferramentas auxiliares como as geotecnologias vêm sendo cada vez mais utilizadas de forma a apoiar as avaliações e a organização da propriedade rural seguindo conceitos de Planejamento Ambiental (BUSCHINELLI, 2006). O objetivo deste estudo foi aplicar um método de avaliação da gestão ambiental de estabelecimento rural dedicado à Produção Integrada de Morango (PIMo); incluindo, nesta avaliação, ferramentas da geotecnologia para auxiliar o planejamento ambiental das atividades produtivas, visando o desenvolvimento local sustentável.

Educação e planejamento ambiental - Conscientização para subsidiar o realinhamento do processo de implementação da produção integrada de morangos.

Desde 2006 a Embrapa Meio Ambiente, em parceria com a Prefeitura da Estância de Atibaia e com a Associação de Produtores de Morango e Hortifrutigranjeiros de Atibaia, Jarinu e Região, visa assistir à implementação da Produção Integrada de Morango (PIMo) como alternativa de aprimoramento de aspectos relacionados à segurança do alimento e ao meio ambiente. Sempre respeitando as funções sociais das entidades envolvidas, seus esforços são direcionados a validar a Norma Técnica Específica da PIMo (BRASIL, 2008), reduzir o êxodo rural e profissionalizar os produtores na adoção de boas práticas agrícolas e ambientais, fundamentadas na organização dos mesmos, como estratégia de implementação de procedimentos sustentáveis. Para atingir tais objetivos, a educação ambiental foi e vem sendo indispensável para a conscientização e tomada de decisão dos produtores, cujo poder de realização é obtido pelo planejamento e pela gestão participativa, supervisionados por especialistas, que garante o realinhamento do propósito de instrumentalizar o grupo para a obtenção de certificação. Este trabalho que apresenta um dos resultados obtidos pelo Projeto PIMo em Atibaia, Jarinu e Valinhos/SP, coordenado pela Embrapa Meio Ambiente, num contínuo e gradativo processo de conscientização, Visa demonstrar a contribuição da etapa de atualização das informações e questões que devem subsidiar o planejamento anual e o redirecionamento dos esforços individuais e coletivos, assim como a atitude do grupo de produtores perante seus parceiros.

Educação ambiental: O planejamento como instrumento de organização dos produtores da região de Atibaia, Jarinu e Valinhos-SP, para a adoção de práticas sustentáveis na produção de morango.

Desde 2006 a parceria entre Embrapa Meio Ambiente, Prefeitura de Atibaia e a Associação dos produtores de morangos e hortifrutigranjeiros de Atibaia, Jarinu e Região busca a fixação do homem no campo e no mercado por meio de produção integrada de morango (PIMo) a partir da qual gera toda uma rastreabilidade garantindo ganhos de produtividade e redução do custo de produção, sendo que a redução do uso de agrotóxico possibilita menor contaminação do ambiente, do trabalhador e do consumidor, com a produção de alimento mais seguro. Para isso a educação ambiental num processo contínuo de diálogo entre os parceiros, desenvolveu a percepção dos produtores, numa sequencia de Ver, Julgar e Agir a realidade, que culminou na elaboração do planejamento como um processo participativo de decisão e adoção desse sistema de produção. Os documentos referentes aos períodos 2007-2008 e 2009-2010 de planejamentos estratégico, gerencial e operacional desenvolvido durante o projeto consubstanciam decisões, orientam a organização dos produtores, e o realinhamento da ação da Associação aos objetivos propostos. Num processo de melhoria contínua o planejamento das atividades do período de 2009 a 2010 demonstra a mudança de perceptivas desses produtores, agora capazes de conseguir a certificação, de comercializar um produto diferenciado, além de terem conquistado uma relação de parcerias que lhes tem garantido a continuidade do processo de implementação da PIMo na região.

Agricultura familiar na região de Ouro Preto d'Oeste-RO: caracterização do sistema de produção.

O conhecimento de características do sistema de produção possibilita não apenas a identificação de eventuais lacunas de pesquisas, mas também a avaliação de suas potencialidades e limitações. Este trabalhou visou à caracterização do sistema de produção utilizado, que pode se constituir numa importante ferramenta de análise e planejamento da agricultura familiar. O estudo ocorreu na região de Ouro Preto d?Oeste, localizada no Estado de Rondônia. A metodologia constou de visitas às propriedades rurais e aplicação de questionário pré-estruturado, seguida de entrevista. Dentre os resultados, verificou-se que: a grande maioria das propriedades rurais (60%) apresentou área acima de 20 ha; a origem dos agricultores abrangeu 10 Estados, sendo as maiores procedências do Espírito Santo e Minas Gerais que, juntos, totalizaram 73% do total. Concluiu-se que o sistema de produção adotado caracteriza um nível de tecnologia médio na maioria das unidades de produção.
