    Effect of catalyst on the producer gas composition from co-gasification of glycerol/fat mixtures

    Get PDF
    In this work, steam reforming of crude glycerol and animal fat mixtures was studied. The tests were carried out at temperatures of 700 °C and 750 °C in a fixed bed reactor using activated alumina or dolomite particles, to evaluate the catalytic capacity of these minerals in the removal of tar from the producer gas. The gas produced was quantified and analyzed by gas chromatography, and it was concluded that its composition is greatly influenced by the bed material used. The results obtained showed that dolomite is more effective in reducing the tar content, evidencing its ability to catalyze the tar reform reactions and promoting the water-gas shift reaction. Consequently, using dolomite as a catalyst, a producer gas with 47–48 vol% in H and 27–30 vol% in CO2 was obtained, while using a bed of alumina particles, a gas with a high CO content (45–48 vol%) and lower H content (34–37 vol%) was produced.This work was supported by Portugal 2020 (POCI-01-0145-FEDER-024067) and by Multi-year financing of FCT- Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, Portugal (grant UIDB/04730/2020).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Soil organic matter humification under different tillage managements evaluated by Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) and C/N ratio

    AbstractIn this work is presented the use of the C/N ratio and the Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy for determining the humification of soil organic matter (SOM) in an Oxisol under three different long-term tillage managements (no-tillage (NT), reduced tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT)). Humification of SOM was evaluated in the soil and its fractions (clay<2μm, silt 2–20μm, sand 20–1000μm). The obtained results show that lower SOM humification was observed in soil under NT, mainly at the surface (0–5cm). In CT, SOM humification values maintained constant for all investigated depths (0–5, 5–10, 10–15 and 15–20cm). Also, clay was the soil fraction that exhibited the lesser humification of SOM. Based on the obtained results it can be said that NT favors the accumulation of SOM on its surface, increasing aggregate stability and presenting samples with lower humification indexes. These results indicate a larger availability of nutrients for the plants in this management

    Characterization of oil shale residue and rejects from irati formation by electron paramagnetic resonance

    In this study, sedimentary organic matter of oil shale rejects, calschist, shale fine and the so called retorted shale from Irati formation was characterized. EPR was used to analyse the samples regarding loss of signal in g = 2.003 associated to the organic free radical with the calcined samples and washing with hydrogen peroxide. The radical signal was detected in all samples, however, for the calschist and shale fine samples another signal was identified at g = 2.000 which disappeared when the sample was heated at 400 ºC. Hydrogen peroxide washing was also performed and it was noted that after washing the signal appeared around g = 2.000 for all samples, including retorted shale, which might be due to the quartz E1 defect

    Almost all trees are almost graceful

    The Graceful Tree Conjecture of Rosa from 1967 asserts that the vertices of each tree T of order n can be injectively labeled by using the numbers {1,2,…,n} in such a way that the absolute differences induced on the edges are pairwise distinct. We prove the following relaxation of the conjecture for each γ>0 and for all n>n 0(γ). Suppose that (i) the maximum degree of T is bounded by (Formula presented.)), and (ii) the vertex labels are chosen from the set {1,2,…,⌈(1+γ)n⌉}. Then there is an injective labeling of V(T) such that the absolute differences on the edges are pairwise distinct. In particular, asymptotically almost all trees on n vertices admit such a labeling. The proof proceeds by showing that a certain very natural randomized algorithm produces a desired labeling with high probability

    Characterization of the volatile fraction emitted by phloems of four pinus species by solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry

    Pine forests constitute some of the most important renewable resources supplying timber, paper and chemical industries, among other functions. Characterization of the volatiles emitted by different Pinus species has proven to be an important tool to decode the process of host tree selection by herbivore insects, some of which cause serious economic damage to pines. Variations in the relative composition of the bouquet of semiochemicals are responsible for the outcome of different biological processes, such as mate finding, egg-laying site recognition and host selection. The volatiles present in phloem samples of four pine species, P. halepensis, P. sylvestris, P. pinaster and P. pinea, were identified and characterized with the aim of finding possible host-plant attractants for native pests, such as the bark beetle Tomicus piniperda. The volatile compounds emitted by phloem samples of pines were extracted by headspace solid-phase micro extraction, using a 2 cm 50/30 mm divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane table flex solid-phase microextraction fiber and its contents analyzed by high-resolution gas chromatography, using flame ionization and a non polar and chiral column phases. The components of the volatile fraction emitted by the phloem samples were identified by mass spectrometry using time-of-flight and quadrupole mass analyzers. The estimated relative composition was used to perform a discriminant analysis among pine species, by means of cluster and principal component analysis. It can be concluded that it is possible to discriminate pine species based on the monoterpenes emissions of phloem samples

    Ten microorganisms of the epiphytic microflora of wheat leaves in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, were evaluated under greenhouse conditions as potential biocontrol agents of the pathogensAlternaria triticimaculans, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Drechslera tritici-repentisandSeptoria triticiin two application sequences (prior to or together with the pathogens). The antagonists significantly reduced the expression of the diseases on wheat plants compared with control plants not inoculated with the antagonists. Maximum percentage of reduction of the necrotic lesion area (NLA) (40–55%) ofS. triticiresulted whenCryptococcussp.,Rhodotorula rubraandPenicillium lilacinwnwere sprayed on leaves prior to inoculations with the pathogen.Bacillussp.,Cryptococcussp.,Fusarium moniliformevar.anthophylium,P. lilacinumandR. rubrareduced significantly (34–52%) the NLA ofB. sorokinianain both of the application sequences. The best antagonistic effect againstA. triticimaculanswas shown byAspergillus niger, Bacillussp.,Chaetomium globosum, F. moniliformevar.anthophyliumandNigrospora sphaerica, with a NLA reduction from 21% to 35% in the co-inoculation or in the sequential application. All microorganisms exceptN. sphaericaperformed better than the control againstD. tritici-repentis. The area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) of the pathogens appeared to progress similarly, but at lower values, in treated plants than in untreated controls. The two yeasts and the bacteria decreased AUDPC to 50–55% ofS. triticiandB. sorokinianacompared with the control in both application sequences, whereas the maximum efficacy againstA. triticimaculanswas reached byN. sphaericaandA. nigerfor the sequential application and byF. moniliformevar.anthophyliumfor the co-inoculation. If the parasitism occurs also in nature, application of antagonists for biological control might provide the opportunity to compete with the pathogens and regulate their colonization in wheat leaves
