Last week, the Northern Fluminense State University Darcy Ribeiro (UENF) and the Acu Port signed a research project for the assessment of the technical feasibility of sediment reuse from the Acu dredging in the production of materials for civil construction. However, there are already some studies underway.

Lasting two years, some prototypes in the testing phase are pioneering projects of P&D – Research and Development – from the Acu Port. With eight scholarships already implemented from the “Innovative Company” program of CNPq, UENF students and researchers dedicate their time to studies in search of a sustainable and innovative solution, using the dredged sediments.

Professor Raul Palacio, rector of UENF, stated that this is a fundamental partnership for regional development. “The development of research at UENF involves interaction with companies.

Our partnership with the Acu Port, the largest enterprise in the region, will allow the university to understand the needs of industries and direct its courses, research, and training to meet societal demands, in addition to strengthening our Technology Park,” he said.

For the oceanographer at Acu Port Operations, Juliane Castro, the partnership with UENF is of great importance for the entire enterprise. “We are very excited to formalize this partnership with one of the main universities in the region, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and local development.

The dredging sludge reuse project for civil construction, our first official P&D, allows us to further strengthen the relationship with the academic community, fostering intrapreneurship and paving the way for new research.”

All waste from the dredging sludge will be studied as compounds in the production of bricks, interlocking blocks, mortar, among other materials, which can also be utilized in complex construction projects.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Scientists find in pigeons’ livers a possible “biological compass” capable of explaining how birds follow invisible routes through the Earth’s magnetic field.

How remains of a 17th-century ship found in Finland turned into dresses: wood from the Hahtiperä shipwreck, buried for over 300 years, was transformed into textile fiber by Ioncell technology.

World Cup paintings can result in fines and even legal action in some cities, but many people still ignore this rule before the tournament.

Fishermen find a rare 127 kg substance inside a whale in Yemen, sell the “whale vomit” for $1.5 million, and become millionaires with the find in the Gulf of Aden.

While old buildings are often abandoned, a city in the Netherlands transformed a 1932 locomotive shed into a library with giant curtains and preserved railway memory.

A giant 3,000-ton machine had to be transported nearly 100 km in Australia because, even though it could move on its own, it might destroy its own components along the way.

A port loader larger than many buildings was shipped whole on a vessel, weighed 1,060 tons, was 84.65 meters long, and arrived almost ready to operate.

With a length of 397 meters, the giant ship carries up to 22,000 tons of pipes and assembles a continuous metal line in the ocean that becomes a gas pipeline and oil pipeline on the seabed.

Port of Suape rises 38.5% and Itaqui soars 44% in January as the Northeast becomes the growth engine of Brazil’s public ports.
