Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel: an overview
Angelo C. Pinto,Lílian Lefol Nani Guarieiro,Michelle J. C. Rezende,Núbia Moura Ribeiro,Ednildo Andrade Torres,Wilson Araújo Lopes,Pedro Afonso de Paula Pereira,Jailson B. de Andrade +7 more
TL;DR: The importance of biodiesel production was analyzed based on scientific articles and patents as discussed by the authors, and critical analysis was presented on the most used oil sources, the catalysts and the methods to verify the transesterification yields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emission profile of 18 carbonyl compounds, CO, CO2, and NOx emitted by a diesel engine fuelled with diesel and ternary blends containing diesel, ethanol and biodiesel or vegetable oils
Lílian Lefol Nani Guarieiro,Amanda Figueiredo de Souza,Ednildo Andrade Torres,Jailson B. de Andrade +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 45 fuel blends were prepared and their stability was evaluated and the following mixtures were stable for the 90-day period and were used in the emission study: diesel/ethanol, ethanol, biodiesel, and castor oil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar and wind energy production in relation to the electricity load curve and hydroelectricity in the northeast region of Brazil
P. de Jong,Antonio Santos Sánchez,Karla Patrícia Santos Oliveira Rodríguez Esquerre,Ricardo de Araújo Kalid,Ednildo Andrade Torres +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative analysis is performed between the electricity load curve for a typical year and a typical day and statistical data for wind speed and solar irradiation, showing that correlations exist and renewable energy can help support regional temporal demand in the existing electricity grid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbonyl compounds emitted by a diesel engine fuelled with diesel and biodiesel–diesel blends: Sampling optimization and emissions profile
Lílian Lefol Nani Guarieiro,Pedro Afonso de Paula Pereira,Ednildo Andrade Torres,Gisele O. da Rocha,Jailson B. de Andrade +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison was carried out between the two most widely used CC collection methods: C18 cartridges coated with an acid solution of 2,4dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) and impinger bottles filled in 2, 4DNPH solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroelectric production from Brazil's São Francisco River could cease due to climate change and inter-annual variability.
Pieter de Jong,Clemente A. S. Tanajura,Antonio Santos Sánchez,Roger Dargaville,Asher Kiperstok,Ednildo Andrade Torres +5 more
TL;DR: Due to the elasticity factor between rainfall and streamflow and because of increased amounts of irrigation in the São Francisco basin, the reduction in the NE's average hydroelectric production in the coming decades could be double the predicted decline in rainfall.
