Imperatriz
Imperatriz is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Maranhão. The city extends along the northeastern bank of the Tocantins River and is crossed by the Belém-Brasília Highway, standing on the border with the state of Tocantins (state), Tocantins. Economy Most of the city's active labor is absorbed by the commerce and services. In spite of that, the primary and secondary sectors, specially agribusiness, still play an important role in the local economy. The farming of livestock supplies local slaughterhouses, which in turn allows Imperatriz to export meat to other states in Brazil and abroad. In addition to food processing and agribusiness, construction and non-metallic mineral processing are important. The area's most important crops are soy, rice and cassava. Recently, sugar cane has become important as well. According to Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, IBGE, Imperatriz has a total of 5,657 commercial and 730 industrial enterprises.

Thermal Power Station
A thermal power station, also known as a thermal power plant, is a type of power station in which the heat energy generated from various fuel sources (e.g., coal, natural gas, nuclear fuel, etc.) is converted to electrical energy. The heat from the source is converted into mechanical energy using a thermodynamic power cycle (such as a Diesel cycle, Rankine cycle, Brayton cycle, etc.). The most common cycle involves a working fluid (often water) heated and boiled under high pressure in a pressure vessel to produce high-pressure steam. This high pressure-steam is then directed to a turbine, where it rotates the turbine's blades. The rotating turbine is mechanically connected to an electric generator which converts rotary motion into electricity. Fuels such as natural gas or oil can also be burnt directly in gas turbines ( internal combustion), skipping the steam generation step. These plants can be of the open cycle or the more efficient combined cycle type. The majorit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Energy Infrastructure Completed In 2014
Energy () is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light. Energy is a conserved quantity—the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. The unit of measurement for energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule (J). Forms of energy include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the potential energy stored by an object (for instance due to its position in a field), the elastic energy stored in a solid object, chemical energy associated with chemical reactions, the radiant energy carried by electromagnetic radiation, the internal energy contained within a thermodynamic system, and rest energy associated with an object's rest mass. These are not mutually exclusive. All living organisms constantly take in and release energy. The Earth's climate and ecosystems processes are driven primarily ...

Parnaíba Thermal Power Complex
The Parnaíba Thermal Power Complex ( Portuguese: ''Complexo Termelétrico Parnaíba'') is a set of thermal power plants located in the Brazilian city of Santo Antônio dos Lopes, in the state of Maranhão. The gas used in power generation is produced in fields located near the complex. With 1.8 GW of installed capacity, it is currently the second largest natural gas-fired power station in Brazil. Natural gas in Maranhão Initial research Oil exploration began in the Parnaíba Basin at the end of the 1940s with two wells being drilled in Maranhão by the National Petroleum Council (CNP). Between the 1960s and 1980s, research was carried out by Petrobras and contract companies. However, the volume of data acquired during this period was considered insufficient due to the large size of the basin. In June 2002, the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) offered exploration blocks in the Parnaíba Basin in the fourth bidding round, but no blocks were acquire ...

Ponta Da Madeira
Ponta da Madeira is a Brazilian private port, a large iron ore loading port in São Luís, in the Northern part of Brazil, and one of the few terminals in the country suited for the ultra large Valemax ships. In 2020, the port of Ponta da Madeira handled 190.1 million tons. It's the national champion in cargo handling. The Ponta da Madeira Maritime Terminal, owned by mining company Vale, sits next to the public Porto do Itaqui, in the state of Maranhão, in northern Brazil. It was chosen as the terminus of the Estrada de Ferro Carajas, where trains unload iron ore for shipping overseas, mainly to Europe and Eastern Asia. The terminal, abutting the Bay of São Marcos (St. Mark) has a natural draft of 26 meters (86 feet) at low tide; 14 m (46') tides proved a significant problem due to the strong currents generated, but those were circumvented through the placement of underwater concrete "breakers." The terminal and Itaqui port are still primarily iron ports, but have increasi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Black Liquor
In industrial chemistry, black liquor is the by-product from the kraft process when digesting pulpwood into paper pulp removing lignin, hemicelluloses and other extractives from the wood to free the cellulose fibers. The equivalent material in the sulfite process is usually called brown liquor, but the terms red liquor, thick liquor and sulfite liquor are also used. Composition Approximately seven tonnes of black liquor are produced in the manufacture of one tonne of pulp. The black liquor is an aqueous suspension of lignin residues, hemicellulose, and the inorganic chemicals used in the process. The black liquor comprises 15% solids by weight of which two thirds are organic chemicals and the remainder are inorganic. Normally the organics in black liquor are 40-45% soaps, 35-45% lignin and 10-15% other organics. The organic matter in the black liquor is made up of water/alkali soluble degradation components from the wood. Lignin is degraded to shorter fragments with sulphur ...

Chlorine Dioxide
Chlorine dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula ClO2 that exists as yellowish-green gas above 11 °C, a reddish-brown liquid between 11 °C and −59 °C, and as bright orange crystals below −59 °C. It is usually handled as an aqueous solution. It is commonly used as a bleach. More recent developments have extended its applications in food processing and as a disinfectant. Structure and bonding The molecule ClO2 has an odd number of valence electrons, and therefore it is a Paramagnetism, paramagnetic radical (chemistry), radical. It is an unusual "example of an odd-electron molecule stable toward dimerization" (nitric oxide being another example). ClO2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic List of space groups, Pbca space group. History Chlorine dioxide was first prepared in 1811 by Sir Humphry Davy. In 1933, Lawrence O. Brockway, a graduate student of Linus Pauling, proposed a structure that involved a three-electron bond and two single bond ...

Sodium Chlorate
Sodium chlorate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na ClO3. It is a white crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water. It is hygroscopic. It decomposes above 300 °C to release oxygen and leaves sodium chloride. Several hundred million tons are produced annually, mainly for applications in bleaching pulp to produce high brightness paper. Synthesis Industrially, sodium chlorate is produced by the electrolysis of concentrated sodium chloride solutions. All other processes are obsolete. The sodium chlorate process is not to be confused with the chloralkali process, which is an industrial process for the electrolytic production of sodium hydroxide and chlorine gas. The overall reaction can be simplified to the equation: First, chloride is oxidised to form intermediate hypochlorite, ClO−, which undergoes further oxidation to chlorate along two competing reaction paths: (1) Anodic chlorate formation at the boundary layer between the electrolyte and t ...

São Luís-Teresina Railway
The São Luís-Teresina Railway (Portuguese language, Portuguese: ''Ferrovia São Luís-Teresina''), also known as the EF-225, connects the cities of São Luís, Maranhão, São Luís (MA) and Teresina (PI), passing through Timon, Maranhão, Timon, Caxias, Maranhão, Caxias, Codó, Timbiras, Coroatá, Pirapemas, Cantanhede, Maranhão, Cantanhede, Itapecuru Mirim, Santa Rita, Maranhão, Santa Rita, Rosário, Maranhão, Rosário and Bacabeira, along approximately 454 kilometers. History In the 19th century, the economy of Maranhão was based on the export of cotton and operated by steamship companies on the Itapecuru River, which bordered the producing regions, such as the municipality of Caxias. São Luís, the capital of Maranhão, had a textile industrial park and required a more efficient form of transportation. As a result, a railway line was planned to link the main cotton-producing center with São Luís and connect the largest urban centers in Maranhão. It should also suppl ...
