Nesta tese da especialidade de Hidrogeologia, é apresentado um primeiro levantamento vulcano-estratigráfico da ilha da Madeira. Os trabalhos de campo permitiram definir, até agora, sete unidades geológicas principais, descritas da mais antiga para a mais recente: 1- Complexo Vulcânico Antigo (CA) 2- Calcários Marinhos dos Lameiros - S. Vicente (CM) 3- Depósito Conglomerático-Brechóide (CB) 4- Complexo Vulcânico Principal (CP) 5- Complexo Vulcânico S. Roque/Paul (SRP) 6- Episódios Vulcânicos Recentes (VR) 7- Depósitos de Vertente (dv), Fajãs (fj), Quebradas (q), Depósitos de Enxurrada Recentes (dr), Areias de Praia (ap), Dunas Fósseis (df), Terraços (t), e Aluviões (a) A caracterização climática da ilha da Madeira foi feita com base nos dados recolhidos em 27 pontos de observação climatológicos, dos quais 14 são estações meteorológicas e 13 são postos udométricos, o que representa uma densidade de 1 ponto de observação/27 km2. Constatou-se que a variação da precipitação com a altitude não era linear e dependia da orientação das vertentes. Efectuou-se o balanço hídrico sequencial diário, com base nos valores de precipitação média diária, registados no Paul da Serra, durante os últimos 15 anos hidrológicos. Pretendeu-se quantificar a precipitação oculta na vegetação típica da ilha da Madeira, de modo a poder avaliar a contribuição daquele tipo de precipitação para os recursos hídricos subterrâneos, e, ainda, determinar qual o potencial daquele recurso natural, como contribuição importante às fontes tradicionais de abastecimento de água à ilha. Para o efeito, procedemos a dois tipos principais de medição: medição directamente sob a vegetação de altitude da Madeira, o urzal, que se desenvolve entre os 1200 e os 1600 m de altitude, e construção de aparelhos constituídos por obstáculos artificiais, de modo a interceptarem as gotículas de água contidas no nevoeiro. Pela sua importância, os resultados obtidos justificam o desenvolvimento futuro deste estudo. A caracterização hidrodinâmica das formações da ilha da Madeira baseou-se nas observações feitas no interior das galerias e túneis em escavação, na análise dos registos de caudais de galerias e nascentes e na interpretação de ensaios de bombeamento dos furos de captação. Os dados evidenciam a grande heterogeneidade e anisotropia características do meio vulcânico. As transmissividades vão desde 11 m2/d até 25 766 m2/d. A caracterização hidrogeoquímica permitiu identificar um grupo de 5 águas termais, emergentes em falhas, no Complexo Antigo, com características muito próprias, bastante distintas das restantes, que representam, quer em quantidade, quer em volume de caudais captados, a grande maioria das águas da ilha da Madeira. O principal fenómeno mineralizador das águas é a hidrólise de minerais silicatados, verificando-se, nas águas dos furos, nas das nascentes de altitude e nas situadas próximo do litoral, o efeito da contaminação de sais de origem marinha. A partir dos dados hidrogeológicos obtidos, foi possível elaborar um modelo conceptual de funcionamento hidrogeológico para a ilha da Madeira, que, apesar de possuir alguns elementos comuns, é, no seu conjunto, diferente dos modelos conhecidos para outras ilhas vulcânicas, nomeadamente, Canárias, Reunião, Havai e Polinésia Francesa.

Este trabalho tem como principais objetivos identificar alguns problemas ambientais, perceber as potencialidades das energias renováveis e as diversas maneiras de aproveitamento solar, estabelecer uma comparação entre o Decreto-Lei n.º 80/2006, que deixou de vigorar, e o Decreto-Lei n.º 118/2013, que veio substituí-lo e dimensionar um sistema solar térmico simples com pré-fabricados de pavimento com função de coletor, recentemente criado e desenvolvido. O conhecimento das técnicas do aproveitamento solar, tanto ao nível do aproveitamento ativo como passivo, aplicadas aos edifícios, são suficientes para uma diminuição significativa na fatura energética dos edifícios, responsáveis pelo consumo de 40% da energia final. No tratamento e análise dos decretos, foi possível estudar um caso de estudo, deste modo estabelecendo mais eficazmente as diferenças entre estes. Para tal foram comparados os valores das soluções adotadas no edifício com os valores limites regulamentares pelo Decreto-Lei com os valores dispostos no Decreto-Lei n.º 118/2013, procedendo a cálculos sempre que necessários. As maiores diferenças sentidas foram ao nível do cálculo das necessidades nominais anuais de energia. No caso de estudo, optou-se pela simplicidade aquando do dimensionamento dos pré-fabricados, pois este projeto está ainda numa fase inicial com muitas melhorias a serem feitas a nível do material a utilizar. A comercialização deste produto ainda não é possível, no entanto, prevê-se que o seu custo venha a ser apelativo. A conjugar com o baixo custo, existe o fator da versatilidade das peças, sendo possível uma instalação com variadas formas ou até mesmo padrões.

Current environmental concerns include the excessive consumption and inefficient use of non-renewable natural resources. The construction industry is considered one of the largest consumers of natural raw materials, significantly contributing to the environmental degradation of the planet. The use of calcareous quarry (RPPC) and porcelain tile polishing residues (RPP) as partial replacements of the cement in mortars is an interesting alternative to minimize the exploration of considerably large amounts of natural resources. The present study aimed at investigating the properties of fresh and hardened mortars produced using residues to replace cement. The residues used were fully characterized to determine their specific mass, unitary mass, particle size distribution and morphology, and composition. The performance of the mortars was compared to that of reference compositions, prepared without residues. A total of 18 compositions were prepared, 16 using residues and 2 reference ones. The mortars were prepared using Portland CP II F 32 cement, CH I hydrated lime, river sand and tap water. The compositions of the mortars were 1:1:6 and 1:0.5:4.5 (vol%), and water to cement ratios of 1.87 and 1.45 were used, respectively. The mortars in the fresh state were evaluated by consistency index, water retention, density of mass and incorporated air content tests. In their hardened state, the mortars were evaluated by apparent mass density, modulus of elasticity, flexural tensile strength, compressive strength and water absorption by capillarity. The mortars were also analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and fluorescence. Finally, they were classified according to NBR 13281 standards. The mortars prepared using residues partially replacing the cement exhibited lower modulus of elasticity compared to the reference compositions, thus improving the performance in their intended use. On the downside, the water absorption by capillarity was affected by the presence of residues and both the tensile and compressive strength were reduced. However, from the overall standpoint, the replacement of cement by calcareous quarry or porcelain tile polishing residues did not result in significant changes in the properties of the mortars. Therefore, compositions containing these residues can be used in the construction industry

In the State Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, the most significant deposits of minerals in the production of granite and pegmatite are Seridó region. Municipalities of Parelhas and Equador are the main responsible for the production of feldspar, quartz, kaolin and granite. The ceramic industries are always in search of competitiveness by investing in new products or improving existing techniques. The stoneware is a type of pottery that stands in the market because it presents technical and aesthetic characteristics superior to other existing products. Characteristics of the raw materials initially obtained with chemical analysis and mineralogical analysis are crucial in getting a product that satisfies the conditions in a manufacturing process and is, in principle, directly related to the firing cycle. This research aimed at developing new formulations for the mass production of ceramic stoneware. The raw materials initially characterized were feldspar, quartz, kaolin and granite. As part of the research was developed at the University of Aveiro, in Portugal, we used two clays used in the production of Portuguese ceramics. The raw material Brazilian and Portuguese and the final product, both in Portugal and Brazil, were analyzed for X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, granulometric analysis, dilatometric analysis, thermal analysis and analysis of scanning electron microscopy (MEV). The specimens prepared at the University of Aveiro (DECV) were sintered at 10000C and 12000C and the specimens prepared in UFRN were sintered at 10000C, 10500C, 11000C, 11500C, 12000C, 12500C and 13000C, but the best results and demonstrating the presence of the mineral mullite were at temperatures of 12000C, 12500C and 13000C. The results showed that the granite waste used may be considered raw material of excellent quality for use in the ceramic industry and coating floors and more accurately by the industry of stoneware. Physical and mechanical tests conducted on samples of the formulations F01 and F02 developed in UFRN showed a water absorption and mechanical strength suitable for the stoneware

The oil production in Brazil has been increasing each year. Consequently, increasing volumes of water produced are generated with large quantities of contaminants, which brings many problems in disposing of these waters. The concern that the concentrations of contaminants in water produced meet existing laws for disposal of effluents, has been extremely important for the development of different techniques for treatment of water produced. The study of clay minerals as adsorbents of organic contaminants has grown considerably so in order to combine the low cost with the efficiency of environmental preservation and health issues. Thus, this study aims to understand the characteristics of vermiculite clay, sodium bentonite, calcium bentonite and diatomite and evaluate their performance as adsorbents for phenol in the water produced. Through adsorption isotherms it was possible to observe the behavior of these adsorptive clay and diatomite for adsorption of phenol, the main phenolic compound found in water produced. Different concentrations of synthetic solutions of phenol were put in touch with these adsorbents under same conditions of agitation and temperature. The adsorbents were composted adsorptive favorable, but the vermiculite and diatomite showed little capacity for absorption, being suggested for absorbs small concentrations of phenol in the balance isothermal

Produced water is the main effluent linked to the activity of extraction of oil and their caring management is necessary due to the large volume involved, to ensure to minimize the negative impacts of discharges of these waters in the environment. This study aimed to analyze the use of retorted shale, which is a reject from the pyrolysis of pirobituminous shale, as adsorbent for the removal of phenols in produced water. The material was characterized by different techniques (grain sized analysis, thermal analysis, BET, FRX, FT-IR, XRD and SEM), showing the heterogeneity in their composition, showing its potential for the removal of varied compounds, as well as the phenols and their derivatives. For the analysis of the efficiency of the oil shale for the adsorption process, assays of adsorption balance were carried through, and also kinetic studies and dynamics adsorption, in the ETE of the UTPF of Petrobras, in Guamaré-RN. The balance assays shown a bigger conformity with the model of Langmuir and the kinetic model more adjusted to describe the adsorption of phenols in retorted shale was of pseudo-second order. The retorted shale presented a low capacity of adsorption of phenols (1,3mg/g), when related to others conventional adsorbents, however it is enough to the removal of these composites in concentrations presented in the produced water of the UTPF of Guamaré. The assays of dynamics adsorption in field had shown that the concentration of phenol in the effluent was null until reaching its rupture (58 hours). The results showed the possibility of use of the reject for removal of phenols in the final operations of the treatment process, removing as well, satisfactorily, the color and turbidity of the produced water, with more than 90% of removal

The acceleration of industrial growth in recent decades on all continents aroused the interest of the companies to counter the impacts produced on the environment, spurred primarily by major disasters in the petroleum industry. In this context, the water produced is responsible for the largest volume of effluent from the production and extraction of oil and natural gas. This effluent has in its composition some critical components such as inorganic salts, heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, ), presence of oil and chemicals added in the various production processes. In response to impact, have been triggered by research alternative adsorbent materials for water treatment and water produced, in order to removing oils and acids and heavy metals. Many surveys of diatomaceous earth (diatomite) in Brazil involve studies on the physico-chemical, mineral deposits, extraction, processing and applications. The official estimated Jazi are around 2.5 million tonnes, the main located in the states of Bahia (44%) and Rio Grande do Norte (37,4%). Moreover, these two states appear as large offshore producers, earning a prominent role in research of adsorbents such as diatomite for treatment of water produced. Its main applications are as an agent of filtration, adsorption of oils and greases, industrial load and thermal insulator. The objective of this work was the processing and characterization of diatomite diatomaceous earth obtained from the municipality of Macaíba-RN (known locally as tabatinga) as a low cost regenerative adsorbent for removal of heavy metals in the application of water produced treatment. In this work we adopted a methodology for batch processing, practiced by small businesses located in producing regions of Brazil. The characterization was made by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and specific surface area (BET). Research conducted showed that the improvement process used was effective for small volume production of diatomite concentrated. The diatomite obtained was treated by calcination at temperature of 900 oC for 2 hours, with and without fluxing Na2CO3 (4%), according to optimal results in the literature. Column adsorption experiments were conducted to percolation of the in nature, calcined and calcined fluxing diatomites. Effluent was used as a saline solution containing ions of Cu, Zn, Na, Ca and Mg simulating the composition of produced waters in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The breakthrough curves for simultaneous removal of copper ions and zinc as a result, 84.3% for calcined diatomite and diatomite with 97.3 % for fluxing. The calcined fluxing diatomite was more efficient permeability through the bed and removal of copper and zinc ions. The fresh diatomite had trouble with the permeability through the bed under the conditions tested, compared with the other obtained diatomite. The results are presented as promising for application in the petroleum industry

Cementing operations may occur at various stages of the life cycle of an oil well since its construction until its definitive abandonment. There are some situations in which the interest zones are depleted or have low fracture pressure. In such cases, the adoption of lowdensity cement slurries is an efficient solution. To this end, there are basically three ways to reduce the density of cement slurries: using microspheres, water extending additives or foamed cement. The objective of this study is to formulate, to study and to characterize lowdensity foamed cement, using an air entrainment surfactant with vermiculite or diatomite as water extenders and stabilizers. The methodology consists on preparation and evaluation of the slurries under the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) guidelines. Based on calculated densities between 13 and 15 ppg (1.559 and 1.799 g/cm3), the slurries were prepared with fixed surfactant concentration, varying the concentrations of vermiculite and diatomite and were compared with the base slurries. The results of plastic viscosity, yield point and gel strength and the compressive strength for 24 h showed that the slurries presented suitable rheology and mechanical strength for cementing operations in oil wells, and had their densities reduced between 8.40 and 11.89 ppg (1.007 and 1.426 g/cm3). The conclusion is that is possible, under atmospheric conditions, to obtain light weighted foamed cement slurries with satisfactory rheological and mechanical properties by means of air entrainment and mineral additions with extenders and stabilizers effects. The slurries have great potential for cementing operations; applicability in deep wells, in low fracture gradient formations and in depleted zones and bring cost savings by reducing the cementing consumption
