The search for sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels has stimulated the valorization of agro-industrial waste through conversion into higher-value chemical products. The abundant and inexpensive peel of Ananas comosus ...

In 2021, the world generated approximately 139 million metric tons of disposable plastic waste. The wide variety of polymers that make up plastics makes this material relatively low-cost and widely used. However, when ...

The industrial production chain is responsible for generating large volumes of waste and effluents, which are generally disposed of inappropriately in the environment, causing environmental impacts. In the coconut ...

Oil spills in marine environments pose serious ecological risks, requiring sustainable and efficient response alternatives. This study investigated lignocellulosic fibers from coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) and açaí (Euterpe ...

The growing global energy demand and the environmental issues caused by the consumption of fossil fuels and their derivatives have driven the development of alternative technologies and research with greater ecological and ...

Brazil is a developing country that emits high amounts of CO2 per year. Therefore, controlling these emissions is essential to achieve sustainable development. In this thesis, we tested six Artificial Neural Networks (4 ...

Many studies have studied ways to increase the corrosion resistance of materials, since any environment contains corrosive substances. Electrodeposition is the widely used method to preserve the substrate from corrosion, ...

Metal corrosion is one of the main challenges faced by the industry, resulting in high economic costs and significant environmental impacts. In this context, this study investigated the use of nanoencapsulated particles ...

The search for environmentally friendly fuels to meet the needs of the transportation sector has driven researchers to investigate and improve the production of biofuels from accessible sources, aiming to offer sustainable ...

The accelerated population and industrial growth have put Earth’s water security at risk. The seawater and brackish water desalination using membranes has been considered a promising strategy for the global supply of potable ...
