How ccs projects are developed in selected countries?

The present work will address, among other aspects, the technical context, history, and importance of the use of CCS in the current world situation. This technology is highlighted as a search for technological solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consequent mitigation of global warming. The history and motivators of the use of technology and its challenges faced over the years will be objects of study, and the storage facilities will be described, classifying them by their storage capacity, their operational status, and the development of new facilities projects.

A importância da educação ambiental como ferramenta para a realização da coleta seletiva de resíduos sólidos domésticos

Após a revolução industrial, as atividades humanas passaram a gerar impactos ambientais cada vez maiores. Com isso, um dos maiores problemas ambientais é a produção de resíduos, visto que, por ano são produzidos milhões de toneladas de lixo contendo inúmeros materiais que poderiam ser reaproveitados e reciclados. Se estes resíduos fossem corretamente destinados e aproveitados, seu acúmulo no meio ambiente seria reduzido, a poluição seria minimizada, o que melhoraria consideravelmente a qualidade de vida da população.

Changes in infiltration under different vegetations coverages in soils of the semiarid Pernambucano Brazil

Anthropic actions such as the removal of native vegetation cause the soil infiltration processes to be modified in the semiarid region. The objective of this research was to evaluate the infiltration capacity of the soil in different vegetation coverings in the semiarid region of Pernambuco, Brazil.

Spectral transmittance of rat lenses treated with naringin-loaded nanoparticles

Oxidative stress is one of the main factors in the cataract development. Various antioxidants are currently being investigated to prevent cataract formation. The present study evaluated the effect of Naringin-loaded nanoparticles (NLN) in preventing cataracts using an ex vivo model of cataractogenesis. The NLN was prepared using modified single-step nanoprecipitation technique; particle size, surface charge, and polydispersity index by dynamic light scattering, encapsulation efficiency were determined spectrophotometrically.
