Item Tratamento de esgoto sanitário em sistemas alagados construídos utilizando Typha angustifolia e Phragmites australis(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2009-08-28) ABRANTES, Lorena Lemes Martins; ALMEIDA, Rogério de Araújo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7455447665040845This study aimed to assess the efficiency of two vegetal species in the treatment of the sanitary sewer, in constructed wetlands system. Specifically, it aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the species Typha angustifolia (narrow-leaf cattail) and Phragmites australis (common reed), in their possible combinations, in the treatment of the sanitary sewer, in a constructed wetlands system, of vertical subsuperficial flux, with two flux directions (ascendant and descendant), related to the attributes: organic material, apparent color, ammonium nitrogen, phosphate, turbidity, chlorides, hardness, electrical conductivity, solids and thermotolerant coliforms. The experiment was conducted in the Researching Station in Sewer Treatment with Plants RSSTP (UFG), located in the Sewer Treatment Station (STS) Samambaia, in Goiânia, Goiás State, Brazil. The experimental unit has twenty four modules, grouped sequences of two modules (initial and final modules). Raw sewage which comes from the initial part of the ETE facultative pond was pumped into the deep of the treatment initial modules, filled up with substrate layers (in the deep filled up with rocks category number 3, followed by rocks category number 1, washed sand, and again rocks category number 1) and planted with cattail or reed. After going up by the vegetated substrate (ascendant vertical flux) the sewer was drained and conducted to the final treatment modules equally filled up and vegetated with one of the species, although being applied in the surface and drained by the deep (vertical descendant flux). The tax of sewer application was of 80 L.m-2dia-1, corresponding to a treatment area of 2 m2 per inhabitant. A year after the system implementation, during the period of 6 months, sewer samples were collected after passing through the flux sequences, each one with the combination of the two vegetal species, for the evaluation of the sewer attributes and calculation of the efficiency in the treatment. The results were analyzed by the Statistical Analysis System (SAS program), being used the tests F and the Tukey Kramer, considering 5% of probability. There were no meaningful differences in the efficiency of the treatments in the removal of the attributes: biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, ammonium nitrogen, phosphate, thermotolerant coliforms, chlorides, hardness, dissolved total solids and volatile total solids. The cattail was more efficient in the apparent color removal and turbidity. The reed presented more efficiency in the total solids removal. The position of the plant in the module sequence did not influence the apparent color and turbidity removals. The reed in the final module increased the removal of the attributes total solids and fixed total solids. It´s possible to verify that the technology of sewer treatment by using plants is efficient, since the species cattail and reed in the adopted system, provided results with removals higher 60% for the of the attributes: biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, apparent color, ammonium nitrogen, phosphate, thermotolerant coliforms and turbidity.Item Influência do ambiente no processo de produção de projetos arquitetônicos sustentáveis: Estudos de caso de habitação unifamiliar em Goiânia(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2010-09-30) ALVES, Rodrigo Santana; FIGUEIREDO, Enio José Pazini; lattes.cnpq.br/4075543806767323The principal aim of the present work is to understand the theoretical and methodological basis of the project design and discuss the process that generates the sustainable architecture, with a focus in the environmental factors. We discuss the introduction of the concept of sustainable architecture in the process of the generation of the architecture projects. First of all, we present in this thesis, the concepts of development and sustainable architecture, understanding these concepts for the process of the architecture project creation. In this study, we also give a brief historical review about the introduction of the environmental concepts for the architecture and the budding art technology related to environmental efficiency. The quantitative research was done based in interviews with a group of architects and in the analysis of four projects correlated with the data obtained from the research and the technical data from the bibliography. The interviews and the projects describe the architect toughs and actions, with the considerations of the professional practice.Item Aproveitamento de resíduos da extração de micaxisto em pavimentos flexíveis(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2008-06-24) ARAUJO, Weliton Eduardo Lima de; REZENDE, Lilian Ribeiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9258692609398794The recycling of materials has been strengthened as an efficient mechanism to minimise the problems caused by improper disposal of solid waste from human activities. Accordingly, the search for mechanisms able to absorb the waste from quarry, coming from the production of aggregates for construction, it becomes an important tool for mitigating externalities generated by the accumulation of such material. So the main objective of this research was to study the use of waste material from quarry as the basic constituent of layers and sub-base of flexible pavements. The residue studied comes from the processing of micaxist, and then called the dust of micaxist, coming from the quarry of the Department of Roads Rodagem the city of Goiania (DERMU-COMPAV). To assess the mechanical behavior, laboratory tests have been conducted (specific weight, Limits of consistency, size, compression, expansion and California Bearing Ratio) for samples: 1 (100% of micaxist powder), 2 (20% of powder micaxist and 80% soil), 3 (30% of powder micaxist and 70% only), 4 (soil), 5 (gravel) and 6 (30% crushed 1 and 70% soil). To assess the performance on the field of materials studied, was built in August and September 2007, a trial with a sentence of 300 meters, located at Amélia Rosa street, the site of Ipês, in Goiânia-Goiás, being divided into three sub-sections (soil + micaxisto of dust, soil + 1 and crushed gravel). The behaviour of these sub-sections were examined by means of testing the vial of sand, Speedy, proof of cargo on board, and dynamic cone penetromet, made during the execution of the sentence trial. With the data collected can be verified that the materials studied, with the exception of Sample 1, have shown properties physical and mechanical satisfactory, reflecting in a good technical performance in the laboratory and in field. The gravel had better results both in the laboratory to the field, proving the efficiency of such material has traditionally used in flooring. In general, concluded that for the dust of micaxist, the best performance was obtained for dosing 20% (Sample 2), comparable to traditional materials, thus demonstrating the possibility of using such waste in layers of sub-base and base of flexible pavements.Item Método para a determinação do fator de redução de área em bacias urbanas(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2012-06-18) BARBALHO, Fernando Duarte; FORMIGA, Klebber Teodomiro Martins; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7889484406721543The main objective of this work was to develop an empirical areal reduction factor - ARF - determination method for urban basins, which is a coefficient applied to average rainfall estimates for projects, given rainfall at a point. After a review about the subject, it was verified the needs of developing regional studies and the existence of some deficienes on current approaches. In this sense, it was tried to create an appropriate methodology given the spatial variability of extreme rainfall on urban basins. Therefore, the new suggested method, differently from the observed in others techniques, is primarily based on objective assessment of the ratio between extreme average rainfall calculated above several areas and the extreme point rainfall observed in gauges located in the center of those areas. After structuring it, the proposed method was tested in a pilot implementation with data obtained from a new raingauge network in the region of Córrego Botafogo Basin's, urban zone of Goiânia. The results were analyzed as to the dependence of ARF to area, duration and exceedance probability. It was found a strong relation with area, a minor with duration and the need of further studies about the exceedance probability influence. Lastly, the ARF values obtained with results fitting were compared with those indicated from other employed empirical models. From this study, it can be concluded that proposed methodology is appropriated to determine ARF, as its results are compatibles with assumptions established. However, new studies are needed, with a greater amounts of data, to obtain practical results.Item Uso do modelo qual2e no estudo da qualidade da água e da capacidade de autodepuração do Rio Araguari-AP (Amazônia)(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2006-12-12) BÁRBARA, Viníciu Fagundes; SIQUEIRA, Eduardo Queija de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8130881429925800The current investigation presents a characterization of the hydraulics and water quality of the medium course of the Araguari River, State of Amapá, Brazil, which has an approximate extension of 120 km. The Araguari River is the main water resource of the State of Amapá, located in the domains of the Amazon (the greatest tropical forest of the planet) in a region with great hydropower potential. In the studied river stretch, there is a hydropower generation station called Coaracy Nunes (UHECN), the first barrage build in the Amazon for electrical generation. A model for DO and BOD has been built with the help of the QUAL2E modeling system, developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. For this purpose, during one and a half year, field trips have been conducted with the intent of characterizing spacially and seasonally the hydraulics, kinetics and water quality of the Araguari River. The modeling stages involved model construction, sensitivity analisys and calibration. After model calibration, three hypothetic cenarios were simulated: (1) the introduction of a new barrage upstream of the UHECN; (2) municipal untreated wastewater inflow from Porto Grande and Ferreira Gomes into the waterbody, including populational growth, during the high flow period; (3) the same cenario as before but during the low flow period. The carbonaceous organic matter present in water hás shown to decompose, in average, in the first five days of incubation. The values obtained for the BOD first order reaction coefficient layed between 0,13 d-1 and 0,90 d-1. The reaeration coefficient, K2, estimated based on hydraulic characteristics, layed between 0,01 d-1 and 1,40 d-1. The results of the sample collections in the river stretch has shown that, amongst the parameters measured, the following were mostly altered: pH, electric conductivity, total solids, suspended solids, fecal coliforms, ammonium, nitrate, BOD and DO. Fecal coliforms, pH, nitrate and BOD were in disagreement with limits defined by Brazilian Legislation on water quality (CONAMA 357/2005). The river impoundment has shown not to significantly alter the DO and BOD concentrations, however, the same statement can not be made for other water characteristics. The water characteristics mostly altered by the UHECN were: hydraulic (flow, velocity, breadth, cross-sectional area) and water quality (pH, electric conductivity, water temperature, total solids, suspended solids, fecal coliforms, nitrate, chloride, BOD and DO). The simulated scenario with municipal untreated wastewater inflow from Porto Grande and Ferreira Gomes (including population growth) into the waterbody during low flow period showed the most critical results in terms of the water quality. The worst simulated situation happened in the dry period in which the river flows decreased significantly and so did the river dilution capacity. In this period the greatest OD depletion occurred and achieved concentrations bellow 4.0 mg/L, in disagreement with Brazilian Water Quality Legislation (CONAMA 357/2005).Item QUANTIFICAÇÃO DE PARÂMETROS CINÉTICOS DE NITROGÊNIO E OXIGÊNIO EM ÁGUAS SUPERFICIAIS PARA APLICAÇÃO EM MODELOS MATEMÁTICOS DE QUALIDADE DA ÁGUA. ESTUDO DE CASO: RIO MEIA PONTE, GOIÁS.(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2008-06-16) BRANDELERO, Suzi Mari; SANTIAGO, Mariângela Fontes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7143224488081563; SIQUEIRA, Eduardo Queija de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8130881429925800Mathematical models are gaining ever greater importance in the evaluation and comparison of management alternatives for natural water bodies. One of the difficulties in the use of water quality models for nitrogen and oxygen is the absence of kinetic parameter data about reactions in biochemical processes. The data in the current literature refer to foreign bodies of water, mainly in countries with a temperate climate. The objective of this study was to evaluate the processes of nitrogen and oxygen transformation in water. The Meia Ponte River, one of the principal rivers of Goiás, was the object of the study. The water samples were collected in an urban area of the municipality of Goiânia, Bairro Novo Goiânia 2, which presents apparent man-made interference with the natural environment. The study involved field work and laboratory experiments, as well as the analysis of historical flow data from the Goiânia River Flow Measurement Station. The reaeration coefficients (Ka) in dry and rainy periods, which ranged from 1.17 to 2.34 d-1 and from 0.63 to 2.01 d-1, respectively, were estimated on the basis of historical flow data from 1975 to 2005. The flow reading obtained at the River Flow Measurement Station cited above varied from 13.38 to 48.65 m3.s-1 in the rainy season and from 2.89 to 10,63 m3.s-1 in the dry season, an approximately sixteenfold variation. Samples were collected and taken to the laboratory. In the laboratory, the characterization parameters which deviated from the norms established by CONAMA resolution n° 357 - 2005 were (ranges of variation): (1) OD 0.74 to 5.04 mg.L-1; it was (2) true color 58.00 to 203 mg Pt.L-1; (3) total ammoniacal nitrogen from 0.56 to 3.27 L-1. Kinetic tests in turbulent conditions were carried out using modified Jar Test equipment. The reaeration coefficient (Ka20) was determined experimentally. The Ka20 varied between 3.60 and 11.51 d-1 with minimum-to-maximum rotation tests. The minimum rotation of the equipment was used for the nitrogen experiments to most closely approximate river conditions. Water samples were collected at regular intervals for nitrogen analysis. The ammonification and nitrification processes were monitored. A study of deoxygenation, DBO, was also carried out, and it varied from 4.11 to 21.24 mg.L-1. During the process of biological oxidation, the ranges of coefficient variation were: (1) deoxygenation (Kd20) 0.12 to 1.05 d-1; (2) ammonification (KNH4+20) and the coefficient of the disappearance of total ammoniacal nitrogen (KNH4 20) 0.01 to 0.12 d-1; (3) nitritation (KNO2+20) 0.15 to 0.76 d-1; (4) nitrite disappearance coefficient (KNO2 20)0.19 to 3.36 d-1; and (5) nitration (KNO3+20) 0.08 to 0.17 d-1. Under the same conditions as for nitrogen, nitrifying bacteria were monitored. The Nitrosomonas varied between 11 and ≥2400 NMP/100mL, presenting the same behavior profile as the concentration of nitrite, which varied from 0.04 to 5.60 mg.L-1. The Nitrobacter varied from 4 to 1386 NMP/100mL, presenting the same behavior profile as the concentration of nitrate, which varied from 0.82 to 3.99 mg.L-1. The biochemical kinetic coefficients that were obtained were corrected for the standard temperature of 20°C. An increase in organic matter was observed in the dry period, reflecting an increase in the concentration of most of the parameters measured. There was a positive correlation between the nitritation coefficients and flow, although the quantity of Nitrosomonas was greater during the dry period. The results obtained for reaeration, ammonification, and nitrification may be useful in the modeling of bodies of water under experimental conditions similar to those of the present study.Item Eficiência do leito de macrófitas na remoção de ovos de helmintos e coliformes termotolerantes e no desaguamento de lodo de esgoto sanitário(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2010-08-31) BUFÁIÇAL, Daniela de Souza Silva; ALMEIDA, Rogério de Araújo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7455447665040845This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a constructed wetlands planted with the vegetal species white ginger (Hedychium coronarium J. König), narrow leaf cattail (Typha angustifolia L.) and papyrus sedge (Cyperus gigantus) under three charges application of the sludge from the sewage treatment station of Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, in the reduction of thermotolerant coliforms and viable helminths eggs and sludge dewatering. It also aimed to characterize the sludge and to evaluate the quality of the filtrate, and to investigate the occurrence of substances excreted by the macrophytes roots, which may help reduce pathogens. The experiment was conducted at the Goiânia sewage treatment station. To evaluate the reduction of pathogens, the sludge dewatering and the filtrate quality were used 12 plastic containers, each one with 1 m3 of volumetric capacity, filled with support media containing 5 cm of gravel number one, a geotextile blanket and 20 cm of sand. In the gravel was installed a drainage system of gases, consisting of a PVC tube with 25 mm in diameter, in an "L" format, whose horizontal portion was drilled with holes of 4 mm in diameter. The sludge was applied at application rates of 43, 140 and 248 kg TS m-2 year, bringing the rates of 20, 70 and 120 L m-2 week, respectively. The applications of sludge were divided into two times a week, half on Tuesdays and half on Fridays. After three months of application, samples were taken from the dewatered sludge every 14 days, and sent to the laboratory for solids, thermotolerant coliforms and viable helminths eggs determination. During three weeks the filtrate was collected in each container and submitted to analysis of solids and thermotolerant coliforms. To investigate the release of toxins by macrophytes roots were used four 20 L buckets containing sand as support medium. Three buckets were planted with the species of macrophytes and one wasn t planted. The buckets were irrigated with dechlorinated water for four months, keeping the water level inside the buckets at 5 cm from the substrate surface. After this period 2 L samples of effluent from each bucket were collected and sent to the laboratory to investigate the antimicrobial activity. The results were analyzed using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS), performing F and Tukey Kramer (5% probability) tests. About the filtrate there was no significant difference in the removal of solids and thermotolerant coliforms in the rates of 70 L m-2 week and 120 L m-2 week. At the rate of 20 L m-2 week there was no filtrated material. For the dewatered sludge there was no significant difference in the removal of thermotolerant coliforms, viable helminths eggs and solids concentration among the treatments. The total solids were lower at the application rate of 120 L m-2 week. Plant development was hampered by sludge application and at the application rate of 120 L m-2 week, the species narrow leaf cattail and papyrus sedge had died after three months of sludge aplication. The extracts found at the water in contact with the macrophytes roots didn t inhibit microbial activity. The dewatered sludge treated by the constructed wetlands attended the 375 Conama Resolution for type A sludge for viable helminthes eggs and for type B sludge for thermotolerant coliformsItem Desempenho da Tecnologia de Filtração em Múltiplas Etapas (FiME) no Tratamento de Águas de Abastecimento em Escala Piloto(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2009-12-18) CAMPLESI, Daniela Cristina Fonseca; SIQUEIRA, Eduardo Queija de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8130881429925800The present work has evaluated the efficiency of an MSF system for treating supplying water on a pilot scale. A MSF pilot plant was located in the Water Treatment Station (WTS) area in Goianápolis- GO and fed by Sozinha stream. The plant was comprised of a dynamic prefilter (DPF) and a vertical upflowing pre-filter (VUF) in layers, both of them with different granular compositions; a slow sand filter (SSF); and a slow sand filter with activated carbon (SSFAC), which was called SEQ. 1. The second sequence of the trial, SEQ. 2, was comprised of a dynamic pre-filter (DPF) and a slow sand filter (SSF-2). The filtration rates in use were 24 and 48 m3/m2 a day for DPF, 12 e 24 m3/m2. day for APF; 3 e 6 m3/m2. day for SSF and SSFAC. The efficiency was evaluated by analyzing turbidity, apparent color, total suspended solids (TSS), as well as total thermo tolerant coliforms. The following items were evaluated: the filtration rates ranging effect onto the MSF unit trial system efficiencies; the MSF system efficiency comparison to the WTS complete cycling treatment; and the correlations between turbidity, color, and coliforms removals and the TSS removals. The results obtained from the trials have shown that DPF and VUF are important units for microorganisms and solid particles retaining, for it prepares the effluent in order to submit it into slow filtration. They have also shown that they make it possible for the roughing filtration to last longer. Generally put, it presents that the slow filters are significantly and above 90% efficient in removing TSS, color and turbidity, and 99% efficient in removing total coliforms and thermotolerant coliforms in all roughing filtration. After comparing the quality of both the water produced by MSF and the one by the complete cycling WTS, it was noticed that MSF produces water with quality similar to the complete cycling WTS. The range for the filtration rates has had significant influence only in the removal efficiencies of color and turbidity. There isn t correlation among the removals of the parameters color, turbidity, TSS and coliforms but for the correlation among apparent color and true color. The experiment results suggest that MSF technology, when suitably operated, it is a viable system for the treatment of supplying water and produced water with low levels of color, turbidity, TSS and coliforms is that 40% of the samples, provided drinking water under conditions compatible to those established by Decree 518/2004 of the Ministry of Health (BRAZIL, 2004) for human consumptionItem Estudo do potencial de remoção de substâncias húmicas na água com aplicação de enzimas fúngicas(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2011-09-02) CAMPOS, Rykelly Faria; SANTIAGO, Mariângela Fontes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7143224488081563The humic substance (SHs), organic matter in different stages of degradation are formed during the decomposition of plant and animal residues in the environment, it is important to remove them, as they can give undesirable characteristics to the water distributed. The use of microorganisms such as fungi, for this removal are extremely important, since their role in sanitation is to act on processing organic waste, where they function as recyclers of matter in different ecosystems. This work aimed to study the production of phenol oxidase enzymes, peroxidases white decomposition by fungi (Trametes villosa and Pycnoporus sanguineus) for the removal of HSs in the water. The work was divided into parts: extracted, purified and characterized the humic and fulvic acids, was placed just after the HSs in water and we used the fungal enzymes for their removal, tests were also performed in the Jar Test. Analysis of the composition of HSs (characterization) and verification of degradation was performed by spectrophotometry in the ultraviolet and visible region, and infrared spectroscopy, by determining the enzyme production. The extraction method used was effective in the separation of humic and fulvic acids, the spectra of extracted humic acids showed carboxylic groups, alkyl, aromatic, alcohol, phenol and carbohydrates. The predominant enzyme in all fungal species used was laccase (Lcc); analyzed samples of Trametes villosa showed the largest decrease in absorbance at several wavelengths in the ultraviolet / visible (UVVis) spectra, an indirect measure of degradation. The samples containing the fungus Trametes villosa were also those that had a higher laccase enzyme production in most trials, reaching a production of 3.48 mL-1 with humic acid from Sigma-Aldrich® brand and 2.61 U.mL-1 for humic acid extracted and getting a percentage rate of removal of 56% and 42% respectively of these acids. In tests with fulvic acid and fungi at different pHs (3.0, 5.0 and 7.0), all has decreased range of UV/Vis with percentage removal rates of 92%. T villosa showed the higher rates of adsorption evidenced byUV-Vis spectrum, albeit to a lesser extent than those treated withenzymes, their highest percentage of adsorption was 86%. Fungi in this study have great potential for degradation and adsorption of humic substances present in water.Item Calibração de modelos de drenagem urbana utilizando algoritmos evolucionários multiobjetivo(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2011-08-29) CARVALHO, Maíra de; FORMIGA, Klebber Teodomiro Martins; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7889484406721543CARVALHO, M. Calibration models of urban drainage using multiobjective evolutionary algorithms. 2011. Dissertation (Masters of Environmental Engineering) - Civil Engineering College, Post-Graduation Stricto Sensu Program in Environmental Engineering - Federal University of Goiás, Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, 2011.. This study proposed to develop and implement a calibration routine hydrological models applied to urban drainage using multiobjective optimization techniques. To make this work possible model was adopted Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) and the computational algorithms developed in MATLAB environment using an evolutionary algorithm. The method was applied to two different levels of detail in representing the Arroyo Cancels basin, located in the urban area of Santa Maria-RS, submitted to the hydrological processes involved in the process of rainfall-runoff transformation in the search for optimal values of hydrological parameters the basin. Objective functions were defined and applied simultaneously in the calibration parameters. Worked with the simulation of events of low and high intensity settings for two discretization of the watershed, and other simple and subdivided into 18 sub-basins. The sensitivity analysis performed made it possible to check that the parameters that most influenced the basin were simple: Percentage of impervious area and outlet width. Regarding the results for the various watershed discretization can be seen that in most cases when working with a more detailed watershed they were better, except for some isolated events. Overall the model showed better results when high-intensity simulated events for the best compromise solutions, thus showing the importance of using a multiobjective model.Item Resíduos de poli (tereftalato de etileno) e de pneu na confecção de pisos flutuantes para o isolamento do ruído de impacto(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2009-08-21) CARVALHO, Maria Luiza de Ulhoa; FERREIRA, Regis de Castro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3206688887219284The demographic growth has created a gain in urban solid waste that deteriorates the citizen s quality of life. High buildings represent the main way for accommodations in big cities for these growing urban populations. However, impact sound insulation has shown itself quite poor. In order to propose an alternative way of minimization to the two problems, residue generation and impact noise, this study aimed to investigate the viability of using poly (ethylene-terephthalate) - PET and rubber tire residues for impact sound insulation in floating floors. Plates of 1 m² with thickness of 1.5 and 2.5 cm to 1:4 and 1:5 (ciment:residue) ratios were molded for the acoustic experiments, as well as portable mortar slabs covered with high and popular quality floor coverings. The main methods used were ISO 140-7 (1998) for measuring the standardized impact sound pressure level, L nT, in one-third-octave bands and ISO 717-2 (1996) to calculate the weighted standardized impact sound pressure level, L nT,w. Both residues presented high sound insulation in relation to their references. It was observed that the results for the PET specimen were superior to those of the rubber tires residue. However, the results among the residues presented different tendencies as their ratio changed. While the impact sound insulation of the rubber tires samples decreased with the increase of residue, PET samples presented more insulation with residue increase. Another observed factor was that the high quality floor covering presented a significant superior impact sound isolation compared to the popular floor covering. Considering all results, it is possible to conclude that the use of the studied residues in floating floors contributes to impact sound insulationItem O uso do pet em telhas translúcidas visando o conforto natural lumínico e térmico(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2011-09-23) CAVALCANTE, Christiane Rosa de Paiva; FERREIRA, Regis de Castro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3206688887219284The PET, tereftalato of ethylene, is the most known and appropriated material in the manufacture of several packings of nourishing products, specially the bottles of beverages. The correct management of the urban solid residues to the transformation into those which return to the use and the environment education are essential tasks to guarantee the exploitation of the complete useful life of this material and to prevent it on environmental focus. From the industrial point of view, the PET recycling in Brazil is still a recently activity. All around the country there are recycling industries, but they were created specially for environmental reasons. Although they became an important source of jobs and income. That s why, nowadays, recycling industries are considered an important social order factor. In Brazil, there are industries which transform the PET into roofing tiles for covering for drawing or injection. In this work, the main analyzed topic was the properties of the transparent roofing tiles of PET and other materials, the polycarbonate and the available fiberglass in the civil construction market through the main properties and relative parameters to the natural illumination, including its optic properties and the objective of the luminous and thermal comfort. Using the results of the spectrophotometer device, it was made a comparison among the studied materials in order to help the best choice of luminous and thermal comfort materials. PET, compared to the other studied materials, is not the best choice, even concerned to the price. However, for environmental solutions, the best way to use this solid waste recycling is the utilization of the PET as transparent roofing tiles, specially considering the amount of material all around rivers, scoots, attires, and so on.Item Caracterização do material particulado inalável na atmosfera e na vegetação urbana na cidade de Goiânia(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2011-09-08) COSTA, Elias Cardoso da; GIL, Eric de Souza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3218622824233303This work had as objective to study the thin particulate material (PM2;5), thick (PM10) suspended in the atmosphere and the PTS adsorved in the vegetation s foliage of the Goiânia city and also study the metals associated with these particulates, especially Pb and Cd, giving subsidies to the city s air quality avaliation. The samples were studied between june of 2010 to june of 2011, using samplers of the type stacker which collects the thin and thick particulate simultaneously in polycarbonate membranes of 47 mm of diameter and pores of 0.4 and 8µm of diameter. The particulates masses were determinated by gravimetria and the metals analysis were done by the Atomic Espectrometry of Absortion(AEA). The thin and thick particulates concentrations showed seasonal variation with a reduction of 80% in the rainy season. The primary standard in the CONAMA resolution, of 150µg.m-³,was not exceeded in any sampled day.The ideal annual average, of 50µg.m-³, was exceeded sometimes during this period and the air quality ranged between goot to regular during the drought season and good during the rainy season. The thin particulate concentrations were above the USEPA s recommended limit in the drought season.The concentrations of the metals associated to the particulate, like Pb, Cu, Cr, Mn and Ni were below the USEPA s and WHO s concentrations. The Cd concentrations, in some samples, were above the WHO s recommended limit. The studied vegetation showed a great adsortion capacity of PTS on their foliage and reached the maximum concentration of 16,97 mg.mm-² on the Monguba s foliage and contributed to the air quality.The species which showed the biggest particulate adsorption capacity per unit of area was Oiti, followed by Monguba.OBS: Estão subscritos 2,5 e 10 em PM.

This is the result of an urgent need to save public money, and especially to make good use of water, this precious resource, scarce and inaccessible in many parts of the world. In this scenario, many optimization routines of water distribution networks have been used. One of these routines is the Granados Method, which was developed by Alfredo Granados, in 1990, and provides the minimum cost of a water distribution network, considering the change in the price of the pipes according to their types, classes and diameters. One of the modern tools that have being used as a support to the project of water distribution networks is the free software EPANET, which is a simulator of the behavior and quality of the water, widely used in distribution systems under pressure. Geoprocessing, in turn, has been used in many areas, including the development of networks, be they water, sewer, electricity, transport, telephone etc. The ArcView GIS is a software that is widely accepted by researchers and designers worldwide. The EPANET integrated with the software ArcView GIS can work together through the installation of the software DC Water. Thus, we can run the hydraulic simulator EPANET within the environment of ArcView GIS. Through this work, we developed a computational routine based on Granados optimization method, within the geoprocessing software ArcView GIS, integrated with EPANET through the DC Water. This routine allows, in an automated way to carry out several simulations of diameters implementation, analyzing the energy losses and the resulting pressure on knots, in order to contribute to the production of an optimized water supply network.Item Avaliação da viabilidade técnica de coprocessamento de resíduos sólidos de curtumes contaminados com cromo em fornos de cimenteira(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2009-08-14) COSTA, Wilian Sobreira; MARTINS, Amarildo Otavio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2378825410173036The increasing generation of solid waste from the industries it is, among other environmental problems, one of the major obstacles faced by humanity. The waste generated during the production process should be designed as it should, or in a secure manner without damaging the environment and future generations. The accelerated process of Brazilian industrialization, intensified so the uncontrolled production of industrial waste. The lack of a strategy of control and final destination for these various "products" has caused negative effects on workers, the community and the environment. Even that has legislation, the Brazilian health authorities struggle to achieve control these problems, which is increasingly visible with great tragedies occurring environment. In this context, this paper addresses a kind of residue from the process of tanning the leather, giving this way the classification of hazardous according to NBR 10004 because the concentration of chromium. Not only in order to address a problem of generation of waste, this work presents an alternative destination safely through the technique of coprocessors in the cement kilns. The results obtained in laboratory scale and in industrial scale, show a coprocessor to the technical feasibility of waste contaminated with chromium in the cement kilns, while respecting the limits of concentration in the formulation of the blending's.Item Comunidade fitoplanctônica e parâmetros físico-químicos em lagoa de estabilização (Trindade,Go)(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2012-07-12) D\'ALESSANDRO, Emmanuel Bezerra; AGUILA, Nora Katia Saavedra Del; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1447294667795452The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) of Trindade (16 ° 39'09'' S and 49 ° 31'50'' W), also known as Barro Preto WWTP, consists of preliminary treatment followed initially by three modules in parallel (A, B and C), each containing one anaerobic pond, one facultative pond and one maturation pond in series (Australian system), being the effluent released in the stream Barro Preto. The WWTP began operating in 1997 and had the final plan in 2011. This study aimed to evaluate treatment efficiency and the module based on algal community structure and physico-chemical variables during a period of six months (September, October, November, December 2010 and April and May 2011), which contains the dry and rainy periods. Were analyzed in reference to the structure and dynamics of algae: biomass, density, richness, diversity, equality, abundance and dominance; for physic-chemical analysis were: flow rate, wastewater temperature, depth, euphotic zone, HDT, pH, DO, CND, TP, PO4 -3, NH4 +, NO3, DOB5 20°C, COD, TSS, FSS, VSS and also climatic variables. The algae were collected through non-selective process (Van Dorn bottle). The samples abiotic, chlorophyll a and pheophytin were processed according to APHA, and the density algal by the Utermöhl method. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were performed to characterize the physic-chemical processes and the spatial and temporal differentiation. It was also made a Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). The facultative and maturation ponds shown to be influenced by the seasonality of the region, and presented variance in depth. In average, the module A showed an efficiency of COD removal of 45%, and optimal efficiency in removing DBO5 20°C (84%). The facultative pond showed the highest mean of PO4 -3 efficiency removal (48%), NH4 + (36%) NO3 - (44%), BOD5 20°C (74%). OD profile of type clinograde and thermal stratification was recorded in three months of collection. The maturation pond showed higher mean removal efficiency of PT (27%) and COD (19%). In just two months was recorded thermal stratification, and found clinograde profile throughout the study. The ponds presented one of the largest ever recorded phytoplankton densities in stabilization ponds and 170 taxa recorded throughout the study, being 40% of cyanobacteria are potentially toxic. The most abundant species in both ponds and throughout the study were Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella minutissima, Closteriopsis acicularis, Merismopedia tenuissima, Synechococcus sp and Synechocysitis sp (dominant). The ponds presented according to the indices, low species diversity and low beta diversity. The beta diversity showed that the maturation pond has more flexibility in the rainy season and optional in the dry season. The canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) showed the most abundant species when best developed in seasonality. C. acicularis in the rainy season, C. minutissima in the end of the rainy season and the beginning of the dry season, M. tenuissima in late dry season, C. vulgaris and Synechococcus sp in late dry season and beginning of precipitation. This analysis showed which environmental variables can also influence the in distribution of species.Item Utilização de lodo de estação de tratamento de água na produção de mudas de árvores com ocorrência no Cerrado(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2011-09-02) FIGUEIREDO NETO, Abner; SCALIZE, Paulo Sergio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0957896448117207Disposal of sludge from Water Treatment Plants (WTP) in the environment is very harmful and can cause deterioration of water supplies. Existing methods for treatment of waste produced in ETA are few applied because the costs involved with operation and maintenance. Several alternatives are suggested for the disposal of these wastes, including the application of sludge in agricultural soils can generate several benefits. In this work we evaluated the development of crops with different dosages of WTS (0%, 18.75%, 37.50%, 56.25%, 75%). The sludge used in the study was collected in the ETA Eng. Rodolfo José da Costa, located in Goiânia/GO, which is used in aluminum sulphate (Al2 (SO4) 3) as a primary coagulant. For the study we used five treatments (T1: 25% substrate, 75% land, 0% sludge, T2: 25% substrate, land 56.25%, 18.75% sludge, T3: 25% substrate, 37.50 % land, 37.50% sludge, T4: 25% substrate, land 18.75%, 56.25% sludge, T5: 25% substrate, 0% land, 75% sludget) for four species of native plants occurring in cerrado (Padu-de-óleo; Gonçalo-alves; Canafístula and Ipe-brando). We adopted the completely randomized design (CRD) with four repetitions, totaling 400 plants. The data collections were performed at 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days after planting. Parameters such as the collar diameter, height, weight and chlorophyll were evaluated. Some relationships were used to determine the level of quality seedlings, as the ratio of shoot height and diameter of the collar, the relationship between height and dry weight of shoots and the ratio of dry weight of shoots and dry weight of roots. The largest number of dead individuals was found for Ipê-branco (Tabebuia roseo-alba), regardless of the treatment he underwent. The morphological parameters showed little variation among treatments. Compared to quality, some species showed the best 4 and subjected to treatment with 56.25% of sludge. In the treatments with higher amounts of sludge, the levels of nitrogen (N), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in leaves were reduced. It was found that the allocation of the WTS nursery can be an alternative available and also an economic advantage to commercial nurseries. It is expected not only to encourage the commercial use of residue in crops that require specific concentrations of metals such as aluminum, abundant in the mud, the greater concern is the environmental and ecological nature, as tons of waste are discarded altogether, causing pollution and occupation of space unnecessarily.Item Segurança de barragens: aspectos regulatórios(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2008-06-30) FRANCO, Carlos Sérgio Souza Pinto de Almeida; FORMIGA, Klebber Teodomiro Martins; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7889484406721543In this paper are presented socio-environmental considerations about the dams safety being promoting the linking of the trilogy water, living beings and anthrop actions, as well as the evolution of the legal aspects. A study about the resources is done to establish a policy of efficient action which guarantees few risks of accidents involving dams and as they are inserted in the context of the global safety of the population. In general terms the investigation promotes an evaluation about the factors that contribute to the dams safety taking into consideration legal aspects of the administration of the water resources aiming to minimize the contentions in the treatment of the subject. In a more specific way, it proposes the creation of a law to be applied by the authorities of the State of Goiás. It is an exploratory research which took place from August 2006 to March 2008 that had bibliographies references, professionals considered experts talking about dams safety and, also, public agencies such as: MI, SEMARH and civil defense among others. It includes a proposition for the establishment of emergency action planning based on technical considerations about risk evaluation. and it presents the cases of the accidents in the dam of Flores de Goiás happened on 2004 and 2007. In Central Brazil regions more specifically in the State of Goiás was verified that the studies concerning to thewater resources are incipient. The public bodies presented divergences in the information on the quantitative of dams. Public agencies like Defesa Civil, Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos and Agência Ambiental did not show evidences joint action for the planning, fiscalization and critical analysis of the decisive factors to the global safety of the society. Works in the physical dimensions are being accomplished in the Dam of Flores de Goiás to correct the mistakes of the hydrologic project. A debate about dam is a debate about development. To solve or to minimize conflicts concerning to the theme is necessary to have a broad consensus about the rules that govern the development choices and the criteria that should define the negotiations and the decision making. In this context the work of environmental education should be considered as instrument to promote changes of paradigms and management.Item Implantação de um programa de uso racional de água na universidade federal de goiás estudo de caso edifício da reitoria(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2011-09-01) GOMES, Marcelus Isaac Lemos; ARAÚJO, José Vicente Granato de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2401010575058480The water scarcity has led to changes in position of economic environmental and political issues besides trying to seek new sources of water located at further distances in places more distant. That is to reduce the amount of water needed by, urban population without compromising the quality of activities. This work had the objective to establish a water conservation program, initiated by the implementation of programs for the Rational Use of Water in the building of the Rectory of the Federal University of Goiás, in the city of Goiania. The building selected for the development of a Case Study is used for administrative activities. It comprises two floors, with total built up area of 2,013.84 m2, which was chosen because it showed characteristics that allowed the installation of water meter, for monitoring the daily consumption, and the registration of all points of water consumption, as well as the classification of user categories (including fixed and transitory people). The methodology used considered initially an evaluation and a diagnostic of the building selected for the study. In the sequence a plan was developed and the proposed actions to help in the reduction in water usage was later implemented. Finally, the management of the actions to keep rational usage of water took place including daily monitoring. Based on the analysis of the collected data an economic analysis was carry out to quantify the economic benefits achieved. The consumption data were collected over a period of 240 days, including 120 days before and 120 days after the implementation of water saving measures. The collected data allowed an analysis of the potential for reducing the monthly consumption of water, which in this case was around 30%. The economic analysis showed that the amount invested, including equipment and manpower, would be paid in approximately 20 months, considering average rate of the capital return equal to 0.75% per month.Item A qualidade do sombreamento de espécies arbóreas e sua influência no microclima do entorno imediato em ambientes urbanos(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2008-08-13) HERRMANN, Carla Rosana Azambuja; FERREIRA, Regis de Castro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3206688887219284This research aimed at assessing quality and influence of shadow offered by four selected individual arboreous species (Lophantera lactescens chuva-de-ouro, Caesalpinia peltophoroides sibipiruna, Sapindus saponaria saboneteira e Stryphnodendron adstringens barbatimão) in attenuating environmental variables Dry Bulb Temperature (DBT) and Radiant Thermal Load (RTL) and increasing Air Relative Humidity (ARH) under weather conditions in the municipality of Goiânia-GO, Brazil, in addition to comparing DBT and ARH values with criterion of thermal comfort for hot climates indicated by Olgyay Bioclimatic Letter (1998) and adapted by Koenigsberger. In the course of this research, data concerning the aforementioned variables were collected through four temperature measuring device placed firstly under the tree shadow (1m), secondly, 5 meters far, thirdly, 10 meters far, finally, 15 meters far from the trunk (full sun), from September to November 2007, hourly from 10 o clock in the morning to 2 o clock in the afternoou5yn over three days for each species. Quantifying contribution of shadow in attenuating and increasing environmental variables was carried out through calculation of percentage of Relative Variation of values found in shadow, 5m far and 10m far regarding the values obtained 5m far (full sunlight). Outcomes analysis was carried out regarding the following hypotheses: i) attenuating DBT in shadow > attenuating DBT at 5m > attenuating DBT at 10m; ii) attenuating RTL in shadow > attenuating RTL at 5m > attenuating RTL at 10m and; iii) increasing ARH in shadow > increasing ARH at 5m > increasing ARH at 10m. The outcomes showed positive effects in attenuating DBT and RTL and increasing ARH. The species with better results were Sibipiruna and Barbatimão with better overall scores in attenuating DBT between 5% and 10%, Saboneteira and Sibipiruna in the ARH variable providing increasing higher than 30%, and Sibipiruna in shadow in RTL with attenuation around 15%. The field outcomes compared with comfort criteria demonstrated the influence of the arboreous species studied on microclimate improvement in its surrounding areas.
