Energetic and biochemical valorization of cork boiling wastewater by anaerobic ...

In addition to energy benefits, anaerobic digestion offers other interesting advantages. The cork industry is of great environmental, economic and social significance in the western Mediterranean region, with Portugal being the world-leading producer and exporter. Cork boiling wastewater (CBW) is a toxic and recalcitrant organic effluent produced by this sector, which constitutes a serious environmental hazard...

Cromossomopatia com Cariotipo Normal em Linfócitos: Caso Clínico

A trissomia 22 em mosaico é uma cromossomopatia particularmente rara de que foram publicados apenas 10 casos, dois dos quais do sexo masculino. Descrevemos o terceiro caso desta situação numa criança de um ano de idade. Referimos as circunstâncias em que um estudo citogenético normal não permite excluir o diagnóstico de cromossomopatia.

Hipocalcemia Neonatal e Baixa Estatura por Delecção em 2411 2

A delecção em 22q11.2 é responsável por quadros clínicos heterogéneos como os síndromas de DiGeorge e velocardiofacial e algumas cardiopatias congénitas.Neste artigo descreve-se um caso clínico de hipocalcemia neonatal, sem cardiopatia congénita, em que a presença de baixa estatura e de dismorfismos faciais suscitou a pesquisa da delecção em 22q11.2 por hibridação in situ com fluorescência. Confirmou-se a prese...

Nursing intervention in prevention of aggressive behaviours in mental health: a...

The hospitalization of acute patients can precipitate a worsening of emotional state, since the patient may experience an altered reality. Interpretation of the experience as either boring or diminishing can result in aggressive behaviors towards those intimately involved in the process, the health professionals Quasi-experimental study: Universitary Hospital; 2 acute units (male and female) February 2004 and ...

A survey system to present the status of anaerobic digestion in Europe in diff...

The RAMIRAN Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Task Group has completed a second survey of the status of European biogas for the years 2010/12. The survey has been split into agricultural, industrial, urban waste and wastewater sectors and data has been collected from eleven countries for at least one of these sectors. The questions included driving forces, the number, type and size of plants, substrates, utilisation of ...

Outcomes of Extensive Hybridization and Introgression in Epidendrum (Orchidacea...

Hybridization has the potential to contribute to phenotypic and genetic variation and can be a major evolutionary mechanism. However, when hybridization is extensive it can also lead to the blurring of species boundaries and the emergence of cryptic species (i.e., two or more species not distinguishable morphologically). In this study, we address this hypothesis in Epidendrum, the largest Neotropical genus of o...

Cork wastes treatment and biogas production

Cork industry is an important economic and social sector in the western Mediterranean region. Portugal is the producer and processing leader of this sector. The cork processing industry gives rise to several effluents that must be treated and valorised. This work is a part of a study that aims to develop an integrated process in order to maximize the valorization of the different wastes/effluents of the cork pr...

Phenolic compouds with antiradical activity from the cork boiling wastewater an...

This work aims to develop a procedure that explores the different types of valorization that can be obtained by integrating a biological process, such as the anaerobic digestion, to promote the bioconversion of the industrial cork effluents (cork boiling wastewater, CBW).

Cork wastes as energy sources

This work shows the possibility of using cork wastes form cork processing for energy production. In cork processing operations an important waste is produced, cork powder, the main waste of the cork industry, which is estimated to reach over 30000 tons/year. There are various types of cork powders with higher calorific values ranging from 4,000-7,000 Kcal/kg. This powder is commonly burned to produce steam or h...
