This project expands the partnership between Itaipi Binacional and Embrapa, generating new findings in technology research and transfer related to the production and use of biogas and biofertilizers. It will aslo support a previous contract between both companies to complement ongoing work at the Ajuricaba Basin Agroenergy Cooperative. The project will create alternative thecnologies to produce biogas and biofertilizers from the treatment and reuse of waste generated by milk production and by pi

The palm oil tree is, among the oilseeds, the most productive one, being able to reach an annual production of 10 tons/hectare in favorable conditions. The oil has many uses in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and is also considered one of the best oils to produce biodiesel. In 2010, worldwide production of palm oil, cultivated in 14,99 million hectares, was of 45,09 million tons, while the production of soy oil, cultivated in 102,38 million hectares, was of 39,76 million tons. Palm

Spectroscopy, which is always associated with chemometrics, is a versatile technique that is applied in several areas of science. It is fast, non-destructive, low-cost and, in addition, “clean”, requiring few or no reagents. The latter factor aligns the tool with green chemistry.

The current project aims to strengthen a multidisciplinary team that is familiar with spectroscopy, chemometrics, pedology, and soil fertility in order to adapt and incorporate various routine methods used in s ...
