Campo eletromagnético pulsado como estratégia de mitigação da infestação de limnoperna fortunei em usinas hidrelétricas
Get PDFThis work aims to evaluate the efficiency of the application of the pulsed
electromagnetic field in the assisted precipitation of calcium carbonate, to decrease the supply
of dissolved calcium in the water, as an innovative strategy to prevent and control the infestation
of the golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) in hydroelectric plants. However, pulsed
electromagnetic field applications can also be found to prevent scale build-up in pipes and heat
exchangers, for reducing of hard water.
With an analysis of the actual river water parameters, it can be seen that electrical
conductivity can be used as an indirect approach to monitor the level of calcium carbonate
concentration, and keep the amount of dissolved calcium ions low to minimize environmental
and economic problems caused by the golden mussel.
To obtain the assisted precipitation of the calcium carbonate resulting from the magnetic
force acting on the calcium, bicarbonate and carbonates ions dissolved in the water, a pulsed
electromagnetic field was applied at 90 degrees of the direction of water displacement inside a
plastic pipe, combined with a sudden increase in travel speed.
The correct choice of procedures and the way to conduct the tests to validate the concept
of this work, is essential to ensure that it does not result in low repeatability and reproducibility
in the studies carried out.Agência 1Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a eficiência da aplicação do campo
eletromagnético pulsado na precipitação assistida do carbonato de cálcio, para diminuir a oferta
de cálcio dissolvido na água, como uma estratégia inovadora para prevenir e controlar a
infestação do mexilhão dourado (Limnoperna fortunei) em usinas hidrelétricas. Entretanto,
pode-se encontrar também aplicações de campo eletromagnético pulsado para evitar o acúmulo
de calcário em tubulações e trocadores de calor, para abrandamento de água dura.
Com uma análise dos parâmetros reais da água de rio pode-se comprovar que a
condutividade elétrica pode ser utilizada como uma abordagem indireta para monitorar o nível
de concentração de carbonato de cálcio, e manter a quantidade de íons de cálcio dissolvido
baixa para minimizar os problemas ambientais e econômicos causados pelo mexilhão dourado.
Para obter a precipitação assistida do carbonato de cálcio resultante da força magnética
agindo sobre os íons de cálcio, bicarbonato e carbonato dissolvidos na água, aplicou-se um
campo eletromagnético pulsado a 90 graus da direção de deslocamento da água dentro de uma
tubulação de plástico, combinado com um repentino aumento da velocidade de deslocamento.
A escolha correta dos procedimentos e da forma de conduzir os ensaios para validar o
conceito desse trabalho, se mostra imprescindível para que não resulte em baixa repetibilidade
e reprodutibilidade nos estudos realizados

Leodonta Butler 1870
No full textLeodonta Butler, 1870 Leodonta is most closely related to Pereute (Braby et al. 2007). Robert (1987) briefly reviewed the species-level classification of the genus and recognized six species, although he questioned the status of one taxon. Lamas (2004) subsequently recognized only five species, treating L. chiriquensis (Staudinger, 1884) as a subspecies of L. tellane (Hewitson, 1860). Leodonta occurs from Costa Rica (D’Abrera 1981; Robert 1987; DeVries 1987) to Venezuela, and along the Andes to Peru and Bolivia (Robert 1987; Constantino et al. 2004; Lamas 2004). Most species occur in cool to cold montane forests between 1200 m and 3200 m a.s.l. (though more generally between 1500 m and 2800 m a.s.l.) on the eastern slopes of the Andes and adjacent mountain ranges of northern South America (Constantino et al. 2004). The life history has not previously been reported for any of the species in the genus, although several authors predicted that the immature stages of Leodonta would be associated with mistletoes (DeVries 1987; Constantino et al. 2004). In addition to our reared material of the immature stages, we examined a series of pupal exuviae of L. tagaste (C. Felder and R. Felder, 1859) and L. tellane preserved in the BMNH and INBio collections, respectively. The BMNH material was collected from Ecuador in 1886 and comprises four specimens in poor condition. One specimen is labelled as follows: “ BMNH DES Rh. 3164 Leodonta tagaste. main coll.”, “ZAMORA Equater mars 86”, “32.21. Ex Coll. Dognin. 1921”, “Joicey Bequest. Brit. Mus. 1934–120”; the three other specimens are labelled similarly except with “Rh. 3165” on first label for one pupa, and “Rh. 3166” for the two other pupae, which are mounted together. The pupal specimens closely resemble L. tellane. Further details of the INBio material for L. tellane are provided below.Published as part of Braby, Michael F. & Nishida, Kenji, 2010, The immature stages, larval food plants and biology of Neotropical mistletoe butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae).
