TiO2-N-methyldiethanolamine(MDEA)-H2O nanofluids were prepared by dispersing TiO2 nanoparticles in the 50wt% (mass fraction) MDEA solution. The stability of nanofluids was studied by the method of absorbance. Only with mechanical agitation, the nanofluids can keep stable at least 48 h without any dispersant. The surface tensions; kinematic viscosities and thermal conductivities of the MDEA solution were measured at the temperature of 20 °C when the TiO2 na-noparticles concentration was 0.05wt%, 0.2wt%, 0.4wt% and 0.8wt%. The results show that they all increase with increasing concentration of the nanoparticles. The maximum enhancement of the surface tension, kinematic viscosity and thermal conductivity is 0.6 %, 4.6 % and 5.9 % respectively at the concentration of 0.8 wt%. The influence of nanoparticles on CO2 bubble absorption in the MDEA solution was studied. It can be found that the CO2 absorption rate can be enhanced by 1.95%, 6.53%, 7.79%, 11.54% when the TiO2 nanoparticles concentration is 0.05wt%, 0.2wt%, 0.4wt% and 0.8wt% respectively. The possible mechanisms for the phenomena in experiments and related results are also explained.

In the present investigation, a biodiesel derived from soybean oil with 1, 4-Dioxan was tested as an alternative fuel for agricultural diesel Engine. The performance and emissions studies were conducted for both neat and blended biodiesel (B25, B50, B75 and B100) with and without antioxidant and the comparison is also made with petroleum diesel. On using biodiesel, the emissions of HC and NOx were less compared to diesel. The brake thermal efficiency of B25+1, 4-Dioxan and mechanical efficiency of B50+1, 4-Dioxan is nearly similar to that of diesel.

The optimum conditions for producing biodiesel by combining beef tallow, a waste resource with high saturated fatty acid content, and soybean oil, which has high unsaturated fatty acid content, were investigated. Furthermore, the kinematic viscosity reduction effects of biodiesel by using heating and ultrasonic irradiation were verified, and their impacts on engine performance and exhaust emissions were evaluated. The result shows that the optimum production conditions are a blend ratio of TASO3 (soybean oil to tallow blend ratio of 7:3) and a methanol to oil molar ratio of 12:1. Kinematic viscosity reduction experiment results showed that the kinematic viscosity reduction effects of ultrasonic irradiation and heating were similar, but the heating device is considered more effective because it is simpler and cheaper than the ultrasonic device. Experiment results on output performance and exhaust performance showed that the engine performance and exhaust performance of the fuel with reduced kinematic viscosity were higher than those of the untreated fuel. However, the output of biodiesel was lower than those of conventional diesel (CD) due to the low calorific value of biodiesel; the NOx and CO2 emissions of biodiesel were higher than those of CD, but the CO and HC emissions of biodiesel were lower.

A sojicultura é caracterizada como a monocultura de maior dimensão econômica mundial. Esse fato tem despertado o desenvolvimento de pesquisas em nível mundial, cuja finalidade é compreender os impactos negativos do processo de expansão de seu cultivo. Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar o mapeamento da produção científica internacional sobre os impactos negativos decorrentes do cultivo e expansão da cultura da soja. O escopo da pesquisa é composto por 389 artigos, coletados das bases de dados Scielo e Web of Science. Os resultados são apresentados sob as perspectivas de: 1) distribuição anual dos artigos; 2) caracterização dos artigos mais citados; 3) países que mais publicaram; e 4) clusters de palavras-chave. Foi possível perceber uma elevação da concentração de publicações a partir do ano de 2000, principalmente relacionadas ao bioma Amazônia. Os países que mais publicaram no período analisado foram os Estados Unidos, Brasil e China. A co-ocorrência de palavras-chave mais utilizadas foi “deforestation, systems, brazil, assessment, soybean oil, soybean biodiesel”. Dos 389 artigos encontrados, observou-se que a pesquisa está centrada nos estudos relacionados ao desmatamento, aumento da produção de biodiesel, contaminação dos recursos hídricos, mudanças climáticas e o uso dos agrotóxicos, entretanto há estudos crescentes sobre os impactos positivos no ambiente com enfoque em novas tecnologias, como a integração lavoura-pecuária e floresta, nos sistemas de produção para a mitigação de danos ao meio ambiente, sobretudo com o potencial para o sequestro de carbono, além de orientarem para o uso racional dos recursos hídricos.
