Leaching of saflufenacil in soils with different organic matter contents

Biosci. j. (Online); 38 (), 2022
Saflufenacil is a herbicide recommended for use in the main agricultural crops in Brazil to control eudicotyledonous weeds. However, the application of saflufenacil has been carried out without previous knowledge of this herbicide interactions with soil colloids, which may increase environmental contamin...

Leaching of Pervious Concrete Produced Using Mixed Recycled Aggregates

Abstract Waste produced by the construction sector is a problem that has grown over the last few years. Construction and demolition waste makes up about 50% by mass of the total solid waste produced in Brazil. One alternative by which to reduce this volume is recycling this material in the form of aggreg...

In Brazil’s food industry, dairy production is one of the most important sectors, whose most relevant byproduct is whey. Due to the difficulties of reuse and environmental impacts caused when discarded as effluent in water bodies, an alternative for its final destination would be the ap...

La amplia distribución de un microorganismo termoacidófilo en el mineral de una mina cuprífera a temperatura ambiente y en condición ácida, y su importancia en la biolixiviación del concentrado de calcopirita
The wide distribution of an extremely thermoacidophilic microorganism in the copper mine at ambient temperature and under acidic condition and its significance in bioleaching of a chalcopyrite concentrate

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (1), 2019
Thermoacidophiles can exist in a state of dormancy both in moderate temperatures and even in cold conditions in heap leaching. Sulphide mineral ores such as chalcopyrite produce sulfuric acid when exposed to the air and water. The produced sulfuric acid leads to the decrease of pH and exothermic reaction...
