Proposta de implementação da ISO 14001 em uma empresa química

Due to environmental concerns and the current legal requirements, companies are looking for ways to reconcile economic growth with environmental preservation. The purpose of this project is to show the stages of implementation of ISO 14001 in a chemical company and propose changes in chemical procedures creating goals to be achieved. In this paper, the study for the implementation of ISO 14001 is in Viapol ltda., where the lack of environmental management can cause enormous impact to the environment and may generate air, soil and water pollution. The project resulted in a mapping of all the processes and a broad survey of waste and emissions, generating proposals to change some of the processes and and creating programs to achieve the goals and objectives proposed in the Environmental Policy. Adopting an environmental management system (EMS), the company will reduce costs by decreasing the amount of raw material used, shooting down on waste disposal and the amount of it, and increasing productivity. By committing to the implementation of the EMS, companies will be demonstrating a proactive approach to environmental issues and enrich its image to consumers’ point of view

Caracterização e origem da composição química da incrustação e simulação de cenários de perda de energia em setor da rede de abastecimento de água da cidade de Rio Claro - SP

The purpose of this work was the inlay’s characterization from the water supply networks of Rio Claro-SP city; as well analyze the influence of network’s aging in the actual system. To do this, some samples of inlays were collected and made chemistry analysis and X-Ray Diffraction Spectrometry. The history of the source water quality was also analyzed, to make possible to known the origins of the inlays. To evaluate the performance of the network, some different scenarios have been simulated, varying the resistance coefficient of the water supply networks of Rio Claro-SP. The characterization results showed that there are basically oxide and hydroxide of iron (magnetite and goethite) and quartz in the inlays, which are materials of high hardness. The hydraulic simulations indicated that the simulated scenarios had a variation of ~2000% in terms of loss of energy

Avaliação das taxas de erosão química da bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão Monjolo Grande, Ipeúna (SP)

The development of human societies and their activities generate many impacts on the environment and natural resources. The consequence of these problems is a disturbance of the systemic dynamics of Planet Earth. Study these impacts are a way to understand the workings of this system and undertake efforts to prevent minimize and anticipate scenarios caused by environmental impacts. In this sense, from a systemic approach seeks to understand the way how is the interaction of the components of the ecosystems, adopting for this task the hydrographic basin as a natural unit of planning and management in view of the fact all landscape elements (atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and geosphere) interact so that the reflections of human activities can be represented in this unit. Thus, this study aims to quantify chemical erosion rates in the hydrographic basin of Ribeirao Monjolo Grande, Ipeúna (SP), which is relevant to analyze the geomorphological characteristics of the area, which may serve to better exploitation of natural resources

Avaliação das taxas de erosão química e física na bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão Jacutinga (SP)

Currently with the growing technological advancement and global, new areas are being devastated, and as a result, the erosion became more frequent causing loss of soil, infiltration capacity of the surface and weathering of rocks. In this way, environmental studies are increasingly frequent to understand the environment in which we live, but also to avoid any degradation of the same and of finite natural resources, which are essential for human life. From this, this work has as main goal, analyzing the rates of chemical and mechanical erosive watershed of Ribeirão Jacutinga, at its mouth, in the city of Rio Claro, supporting environmental studies and sustainable development today. Order to reach these values were measured and total dissolved solids in suspension in the stream during the months from January to July 2012. As results included higher rates of both physical and chemical weathering in the rainy months, especially january

Caracterização físico-química e microbiológica de diferentes amostras de uma precipitação coletada e armazenada após passagem por telhado

The decreasing availability of drinking water is a problem that has existed for a long time and continues to be aggravated, especially by the increase in population and pollution of water resources. Due to the need to find alternatives in order to ensure water supplies in sufficient quantity and quality for consumption by populations, rainwater collection arises as an alternative. The present study was developed in Ipeúna-SP, consisting of an experimental system of collection and storage of rainwater on the roofs of buildings. Samples of the same precipitation, differentiated through the initial disposal and treatment of the collected water, were stored during a period of six months and monitored through physical, chemical and microbiological analyses. With the results, the qualitative characteristics of the stored precipitation were found, the main differences among the samples were identified and the needs of treatment were studied.

Variação temporal da biomassa e da composição química da macrófita aquática Crinum procerum

Macrófitas aquáticas têm grande importância na dinâmica dos ecossistemas aquáticos através de sua alta produtividade e sua participação na cadeia de herbivoria e detritívora. Através de estudos da sazonalidade da biomassa e da composição química dessas plantas é possível avaliar seu papel no ecossistema inferindo sobre seu período de crescimento e estoque de nutrientes. Em regiões tropicais a biomassa vegetal apresenta pequena ou ausente variação sazonal devido à pouca variação de temperatura e fotoperíodo, diferentemente das regiões temperadas onde estas variações ambientais são marcantes refletindo em sazonalidades na biomassa. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar se a biomassa e a composição química de Crinum procerum apresentam padrão de variação temporal. E ainda, avaliar se a disponibilidade de nutrientes (N-total e P-total) no sedimento se relaciona ao seu teor na macrófita. As plantas aquáticas foram coletadas (quadrado de 0,25 m²) em quintuplicata em um banco monoespecífico no rio Branco, bacia do rio Itanhaém, litoral sul de SP, na primavera (nov. 2009/10), verão (fev. 2010/11), outono (mai. 2010/11) e inverno (jul. 2010/11), totalizando oito coletas. As plantas foram secas em estufa para obtenção da biomassa e análise de sua composição química (nitrogênio, fósforo, carboidratos solúveis, lipídeos, polifenóis e fração de parede celular). O teor de N-total e P-total do sedimento do estande também foi obtido. O maior valor médio de biomassa total (parte aérea e parte submersa) ocorreu na primavera/09 (1696,97 g.m-2) e os menores valores médios ocorreram nos invernos/10 e 11 (respectivamente, 825,95 g.m-2 e 565,29 g.m-2). No outono/11 o teor médio de N-total (2,16 %MS) na biomassa vegetal foi o mais elevado e o de P-total (0,048 %MS) foi o menor entre as demais estações. A disponibilidade de N-total e P-total no sedimento... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Avaliação da proliferação celular na próstata de gerbilos vasectomizados, após indução química pela injeção intraperitoneal do carcinógeno N-metil-N-nitrosuréia (MNU)

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the country. Due to this factor, the interest of showing what relationship exists between vasectomy surgery and the incidence of prostate carcinoma has started. Some epidemiological studies showed an increased risk of prostate cancer in vasectomized men (Emard et al., 2001). On the other hand other authors have argued that there is no correlation (Patel et al., 2005) and there are those who said that vasectomy is linked to reduced risk of prostate cancer (Ross, 1983). Faced with an analysis of published works, such discussion remains today. The vasectomy, or deferentectomia, is a contraceptive male method, which is the section of the vas deferens of man by preventing the sperm from being expelled along with the seminal fluid during ejaculation, and is one of the most simple, economical, uncomplicated post- operative. This study aims to evaluate the process of cell proliferation and to evaluate immuno-histochemically the expression of specific markers of PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen) and Ki-67, in the prostate of the gerbil after chemical induction by intraperitoneal injection of the carcinogen N-methyl -N-nitrosourea (MNU), because the regulation of the functional balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis is associated with hyperplasia and prostatic carcinoma. The experimental procedure was performed at the Laboratory of the Department of Anatomy, along with collecting the data for later analysis

Caracterização mineralógica, petrológica e química da sulfetação nos reef's da mina Canavieiras, Jacobina, Bahia

In the Serra de Jacobina, localized in the North Central portion of the state of Bahia, occours the Jacobina Group. It’s a sedimentary basin and the gold deposit is stocked on the basal portion, which consist on quartzites intercalated with oligomítico metaconglomerates of Serra do Córrego Formation. There are controversies about the origin of the gold mineralization, but the currently most accepted hypothesis corresponds to a paleoplacer deposit with subsequent ore remobilization and concentration by hydrothermal process. The sulphidation is one of the main results of hydrothermal process, which was more detail characterized, besides identifying if there was more than one sulfides phase generation and its relationship with gold mineralization. The analyzes were performed from the main reef's (metaconglomerates mineralized levels) of Mine Canavieiras: Maneira, Holandez, Liberino, Piritoso, MU and LU. Chemical analyzes semi-quantitative were developed with EDS in MEV and also petrographics analyses. The main sulfide is pyrite, followed by chalcopyrite. Six groups of pyrite were classified according with chemical composition, however they show similarities in their habit and occurrence. Were identified four types of chlorite, labeled A, B, C, D. Gold occurs in free form, associate to pyrites, to Fe-Ti-Muscovite, to chlorite type B and to microfractures with iron hydroxide. Gold presents three different compositions: pure, with Ag or associated with U-Zr. The results of chemical analysis showed that the hydrothermal process have as their main source, ultramafic rocks present in the Jacobina Basin

Efeito da ativação física e química do gel clareador na velocidade de penetração do peróxido de hidrogênio: estudo in vitro

This study evaluated the effect of physical and chemical activation on the speed of penetration of hydrogen peroxide bleaching agents present in different concentrations through the enamel and dentin. One hundred and twenty bovine incisors were used, which were obtained enamel/dentin discs of the buccal surface, with 6 mm in diameter. The samples were divided into six groups: G1 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 20%, G2 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 20% with light activation, G3 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 20% with Manganese Gluconate; G4 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 35%; G5 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 35% with the light activation and G6 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 35% with Manganese Gluconate. The specimens were placed in a transparent support on which there was a substance sensitive to hydrogen peroxide immediately below and in contact with the specimen. After the procedures for applying the gel for each group, one video camera was positioned and operated to monitor the time of penetration of peroxide in each specimen. The recording ended after changing the color of the fluid revealed in all specimens and times were noted for comparison. ANOVA analysis showed that concentration and type of activation of bleaching gel significantly influenced the diffusion time of hydrogen peroxide (P 0.05). 35% hydrogen peroxide showed the lowest diffusion times compared to the groups with 20% hydrogen peroxide gel. The light activation of hydrogen peroxide decrease significantly the diffusion time compared to chemical activation. The highest diffusion time was obtained with 20% hydrogen peroxide chemically activated. The diffusion time of hydrogen peroxide was dependent on activation and concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide diffused through dental tissues more quickly
