Portuguese term or phrase: uso de cavaco de madeira como redutor
This is a text about nickel processing and sustainable practices including the use of biomass (wood chips)

Entre as várias iniciativas promovidas está o desenvolvimento da técnica de ***uso de cavaco de madeira como redutor***, fornecendo carbono à reação de calcinação.
