Fuel cells powered directly with ethanol (Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell-DEFC) are very attractive for the possibility of using a renewable fuel in the generation of clean energy. However, it is still necessary to deepen the understanding of catalytic processes and their dependence on the catalytic properties. This work proposes to study the catalytic activity of ethanol oxidation in an alkaline medium of Pd nanoparticles supported in carbon oxide hybrids using various transition metal oxides (MoO3, TiO2, WO3 and ZrO2). The materials prepared were characterized by techniques such as X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) to verify the structure, the distribution of particles in the supports and the presence of Pd on particles oxide. Experiments of X-rays absorption spectroscopy were carried out using soft X-rays (SXS) to evaluate the changes in the electronic properties of the Pd particles caused by interactions with different oxides. Measurements of cyclic voltammetry and potential sweeps of adsorbed CO oxidation allowed evaluating general aspects of the catalysts' electrochemical behavior and determining the electrochemically active area thereof. The catalytic performances of ethanol oxidation in alkaline medium were evaluated by electrochemical techniques (potential scan and chronoamperometry), and showed an improvement in activity with the addition of oxides in material containing only carbon, which was most pronounced for the catalyst containing TiO2. This improvement was predominantly associated with the electronic effects caused by the interaction of Pd on the support, causing a vacancy in the 4d band of Pd which, in turn, produces variations in adsorption energies of the species...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of reinforced composites with polyamide 6 fibers aligned (6000 rpm) and alignment (120 rpm) with or without CNT using the flexural strength test. After preparation of nanofibers aligned nylon 6 (6000 rpm) and alignment (120 rpm) with and without incorporation of nanotube carbon by the method of electrospinning, were performed one control group (n = 10) and 4 experimental groups (n = 40) G1: Control (just resin Charisma - Heraeus Kulzer) ;G2 Resin + N6 aligned (6000 rpm) + CNT; G3:Resin + N6 alignment (120 rpm) + CNT; G4: Resin + aligned ( 6000 rpm) N6. G5: Resin + N6 alignment (120 rpm). The fibers were cut to the dimensions of 0,3 x 15 mm and were applied an adhesive at the surface (Single Bond 2) for 5 min and cured. In the matrix, was added resin in the proximal box (Charisma A2, Heraeus Kulzer) and cured for 40 s. (power 1100 mW / cm²). A first layer of resin and on the resin was deposited. The resin layers specimens were light irradiated with three overlapping exposures delivered. For each resin layer were light irradiated for 40 sec. The samples were tested with a cross-speed of 1 mm / min, and a 50 Kgf at Universal testing machine (EMIC mod.DL2000). The Dunnet test showed that only the nanotube group was significantly different from the control group. The ANOVA two-way indicates that the nanotube factor was statistically significant (p < 0.05) and there is no interaction between factors and orientation nanotube. The presence of nanotube showed lower fracture resistance values for aligned and unaligned groups. The results of this study showed that the orientation of the fibers does not influence the strength of composite resins and the incorporation of nylon nanofibers with carbon nanotubes decreased the fracture resistance values. The presence of the fibers has not been able to improve the strength of the material in any of the...

As xilanases são enzimas que hidrolisam as ligações 1,4-β-xilosídicas da xilana e que possuem potencial biotecnológico em vários processos industriais, como na clarificação de sucos e vinhos, na fabricação de pães, na produção de biocombustíveis e no tratamento das polpas celulósicas. Além disso, os produtos de hidrólise da xilana, xilooligossacarídeos, podem ser utilizados como ingredientes prebióticos, ou seja, ingredientes nutricionais não digeríveis que estimulam seletivamente a proliferação e a atividade de bactérias benéficas do cólon. O uso de enzimas microbianas nas indústrias se dá devido às suas diversas vantagens sobre os métodos químicos e à facilidade de obtenção do microrganismo. Assim, os objetivos deste trabalho foram: produzir e caracterizar parcialmente a xilanase de Aspergillus sp isolado de pó de café utilizado, purificar parcialmente a enzima produzida e analisar os produtos de hidrólise da xilana. O Aspergillus sp mostrou-se bom produtor de xilanase quando o pó de sabugo de milho foi utilizado como fonte de carbono e a xilanase produzida apresentou melhor atividade específica quando o período de cultivo foi de 168 horas. Os processos de precipitação de proteínas e diálise promoveram o aumento da atividade específica do extrato. A xilanase de Aspergillus sp apresentou pH e temperatura de máxima atividade semelhantes aos de produzidas por Aspergillus niger isolados de outras fontes. A hidrólise da xilana produziu xilose e xilooligossacarídeos. Além da xilanase, o fungo revelou ser produtor de outras proteínas que podem ser estudadas em pesquisas futuras.
