Resumo: Agribusiness sectors have evolved to a highly diversified level, the fertilizer being their main interest. These products are composed of macronutrients and micro ones essential to life. Zinc is an essential micronutrient, and it is present in fertilizers as zinc oxide. The present work is concerned with assessing, from the sustainable development viewpoint, the entire chain of production and transportation of zinc oxide. It is intended to establish an ecological audit of ZnO by the CES EduPack® software in six different scenarios. The scenario composed only of recycled material for furnace feeding was the one that spent the least energy of all and had the lowest carbon footprint. However, a scenario composed only of pure zinc was the one that spent more energy and had the highest carbon footprint. Transport was the highest consumer of energy and carbon footprint in all scenarios.

Esses produtos são compostos de diversos macro e micronutrientes essenciais à vida. Zinco é incorporado nos fertilizantes como óxido de zinco. O presente trabalho caracteriza, em termos do desenvolvimento sustentável, a cadeia de produção e transporte do ZnO. Estabeleceu-se uma auditoria ecológica desse composto por meio do CES EduPack®. A simulação foi feita em seis cenários distintos. Notou-se que o cenário composto apenas por material reciclado para alimentação dos fornos foi o que gastou menos energia e teve a menor pegada de carbono. Já o cenário composto apenas por zinco puro, a alimentação dos fornos foi o que mais gastou energia e com maior pegada de carbono. O transporte foi o maior responsável pelo gasto energético e pegada de carbono.Universidade Federal de Viçosa - UFV2020-10-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/article/view/1158110.18540/jcecvl6iss4pp0577-0584The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; Vol. 6 No. 4 (2020); 0577-0584The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; Vol. 6 Núm. 4 (2020); 0577-0584The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; v. 6 n. 4 (2020); 0577-05842527-1075reponame:The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciencesinstname:Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)instacron:UFVenghttps://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/article/view/11581/6274Copyright (c) 2020 The Journal of Engineering and Exact Scienceshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMacarrão, Isabelle MonfrinattiDutra, Júlio Cesar2021-02-23T20:11:08Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufv.br:article/11581Revistahttp://www.seer.ufv.br/seer/rbeq2/index.php/req2/oai2527-10752527-1075opendoar:2021-02-23T20:11:08The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences - Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)false
