Currently, one of the major technological challenges refers to issues related to the emission of gaseous pollutants, particularly those based on SOx and NOx. Generated mainly by the burning of fossil fuels, their reduction can be achieved by changes in the conditions of refining processes, capable of adapting the legal specifications of fuel sulphu...

Introduction The disposal of non-serviceable tires causes great environmental problems because the degradation of vulcanized rubber takes a very long time, due to their cross-linked bonds and the quantity of additives. Those are the main reason why the disposal of useless tires in landfills is strongly undesirable, besides the high costs in transpo...

Removal of nitrogen compounds from diesel at low temperatures and 1 atm was studied using commercial adsorbents, e.g., clays, zeolites, alumina, and bentonite. The clays presented a great potential for nitrogen compound removal from diesel. In a second stage, with the selected clay, procedures for the adsorbent regeneration were appraised, varying...

In Brazil, sulfur content in metropolitan diesel, now limited to 2000 ppm, should be reduced to 500 ppm until 2006, and to 50 ppm until 2009, according to studies from "Agência Nacional de Petróleo" (ANP). The main process for removing sulfur compounds from diesel is the hydrotreating process (HDT), accomplished at high pressures and temperatures....
