Vale is using dry processing in several units, including Brucutu, Alegria, Fábrica Nova, Fazendão, Abóboras, Mutuca, Pica, and Fábricas in Minas Gerais, with plans for implementation in other locations, including the Apolo and Capanema projects.

Vale is committed to transforming natural resources into prosperity and sustainable development. With start-up planned for the second half of 2023, the project will have a production capacity from natural moisture (without waste generation) of 18 Mtpa and in the first years will bring a net addition of 14 Mtpa of capacity for Vale with shipping from the Timbopeba site.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

China manufactures 150 buses in just 16 working days and ships them to Argentina at prices up to 30% lower than those produced locally, putting body manufacturers in the neighboring country on high alert due to the speed and cost of Asian production.

Brazil accelerates the production of electric buses and could end 2026 as the leader in Latin America in a race that promises to transform public transportation in large cities.

An 11-year-old boy from Texas was just hoping to be officially adopted, but he got the most exciting surprise of his life when 45 classmates showed up unexpectedly at the courthouse to celebrate with him.

Two cyclones are surrounding Brazil at the same time this week: one brings heavy rain to the South while the other pushes cold air that drops temperatures by up to 6 degrees in mountainous areas of the Southeast.

A 20-year-old young man became paralyzed from the waist down after an accident and received treatment with polylaminin in Santa Catarina, and he is already able to move his feet days later.

Thicker walls become a thermal solution in Brazil by reducing internal heat by up to 30% without air conditioning, using thermal inertia, double walls with air, adobe, and roofs that can cut heating by up to 10°C.

Venice is at real risk of disappearing under the sea by 2300, and scientists reveal 4 radical solutions ranging from billion-euro projects of up to €100 billion to the extreme decision to abandon the historic city forever.

Shotcrete replaces manual plastering, can double or even triple productivity on site, and delivers more uniform walls; this industrialized technique has been gaining ground precisely where there is a lack of skilled labor.

Common tiles may be on borrowed time because a new European technology transforms the roof itself into a solar power plant without the need for traditional panels that sit on top and spoil the house’s appearance.
