Modelos de transferência de metal pesado na cana-de-açúcar adubada com composto de lixo urbano

The research approaches recycling of urban waste compost (UWC) as an alternative fertilizer for sugarcane crop and as a social and environmental solution to the solids residuals growth in urban centers. A mathematical model was used in order to know the metal dynamics as decision support tool, aiming to establish of criteria and procedures for UWC's safe use, limited by the amount of heavy metal. A compartmental model was developed from experimental data in controlled conditions and partially checked with field data. This model described the heavy metal transference in the system soil-root-aerial portion of sugarcane plants and concluded that nickel was metal to be concern, since it takes approximately three years to be attenuated in the soil, reaching the aerial portions of the plant at high concentrations. Regarding factors such as clay content, oxide level and soil pH, it was observed that for soil with higher buffering capacity, the transfer of the majority of the metals was slower. This model may become an important tool for the attainment of laws regarding the UWC use, aiming to reduce environment contamination the waste accumulation and production costs.

ESTUDO DA PREPARAÇÃO DOS EXTRATOS DE PRÓPOLIS E SUAS APLICAÇÕES

Ethanolic extracts from propolis were performed by using lhe water and vaflous coneentrations of etanol as solvent. The extracts were investigated by measurement of absorption spectruin with Uv-spectrophotometer (UV-scanning), reversed phase-high performance thin-layer chromatography, Reversed phase-HPLC. Maximum absorption of ali extracts was 290 nm, resembling flavonoid compounds and 80% ethanolic extract showed highest absorption at 290 nm. The most isosakuranetin, quercefin, and kaempferol were extracted from mixtures of propolis and 60% etanol, whereas 70% etanol extracted te most pinocembrin and sakuranetin, but 80% etanol extracted more kaempferide, acacetin, and isorhamnetin from propolis. The 60 to 80% ethanolic extracts ofpropolis inhibited highly to microbial growth and 70 and 80% ethanolic extracts showed lhe greatest antioxidant activity and 80% ethanolic extract inhibited highly to hyaluronidase activity.
