The productive sectors seek to rethink their activities to minimize their negative contribution to the climate, including solid waste generated by different areas. The use of waste from a productive sector in another productive sector can minimize the consequences of the current environmental degradation. In this study, the fine aggregate (sand) was partially replaced with diatomaceous earth waste from brewery filters without extensive treatment in concrete production. Concrete dosages were prepared with 0% (reference), 2.5%, 5%, and 10% w/w/replacement of diatomaceous earth waste and evaluated for axial compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, specific mass, water absorption, and void ratio. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), with a significance of 5%, tested the differences, followed by the Tukey-Kramer test for pairwise comparisons. All mixtures with replacements were significantly different from the reference mixture, but the results showed that it is possible to use the waste as a partial substitute for sand in the non-structural concrete production. Thus, it is possible to decrease the amount of natural sand and, at the same time, reduce the environmental liabilities of the brewing industry, creating some possibilities in the management of solid waste and mitigation in the exploitation of non-renewable natural reserves.

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
