Atividade da catalase e da lactato desidrogenase em tilápias submetidas a estresse de confinamento: efeito da cor do ambiente

Avaliaram-se os efeitos da cor do ambiente sobre o crescimento e a atividade da enzima antioxidante catalase (CAT) e da lactato desidrogenase (LDH) em tilápias do Nilo (n=24; 36,2±3,6g). Oito exemplares foram mortos para determinação da atividade basal das enzimas e os demais permaneceram isolados durante 14 dias sob espectro de luz branca ou azul (n=8 peixes/tratamento). A seguir os peixes foram submetidos a um estresse diário de confinamento de 90 minutos (15° ao 28° dia) e pesados semanalmente para cálculo da taxa de crescimento específico (TCE). A TCE negativa confirmou que o confinamento provocou estresse nos peixes, independentemente da cor do ambiente. O aumento da atividade da LDH no músculo vermelho dos peixes mantidos sob luz branca ou azul indicou mudança do metabolismo aeróbio para anaeróbio. O estresse reduziu a atividade da CAT no músculo branco dos peixes mantidos sob a luz branca ou azul. Na musculatura vermelha, esta redução ocorreu apenas nos animais mantidos sob a luz branca. O confinamento aumenta os processos metabólicos anaeróbios e é adequado para estudos sobre os efeitos do estresse. O espectro de luz azul não evita a redução do crescimento e a demanda energética anaeróbia em situações de estresse, mas preserva a atividade da CAT, contribuindo para o bem-estar da tilápia.

Acciaio COR-TEN esposto in ambiente urbano-costiero: studio del rilascio di metalli di lega

Il Cor-Ten è un acciaio micro-legato, detto anche acciaio patinabile, che garantisce una buona resistenza alla corrosione da agenti atmosferici. Proprio grazie a questa sua peculiare caratteristica sta conoscendo un vasto impiego in particolare nel campo dell’edilizia e delle infrastrutture. La corrosione infatti interessa tutti i settori produttivi e non, provocando ingenti danni economici. Stime effettuate negli ultimi 40anni da diversi enti internazionali indicano che l’entità di questi danni, pur variando da settore a settore, risulta compresa per i paesi industrializzati tra il 3 e il 4% del PIL. Da questi dati si evince la necessità di proteggere i materiali dalla corrosione; in genere per questo scopo si ricorre a trattamenti superficiali o a rivestimenti protettivi. Queste tecniche non rappresentano però l’unica strada, è possibile infatti agire sulla composizione della lega, come nel caso del Cor-Ten, in modo che l’interazione metallo-ambiente porti alla formazione di una patina protettiva di prodotti di corrosione relativamente stabili. La formazione di questo strato, cosiddetto passivante, protegge il metallo da un’ulteriore attacco corrosivo. Scopo di questo lavoro di tesi è studiare il comportamento di questo materiale in ambiente urbano-costiero in tre differenti stati di finitura in cui è commercialmente disponibile: grezzo, pre-patinato e pre-patinato cerato, focalizzando l’attenzione sugli aspetti ambientali legati al suo utilizzo e cercando di valutare in particolare il rilascio dei metalli di lega nell’ambiente, aspetto fino ad ora non considerato in letteratura. I risultati ottenuti indicano che sembrerebbe preferibile l’utilizzo del materiale grezzo rispetto ai pre-patinati, almeno per quanto riguarda il rilascio di metalli in ambiente. Sulla base dei risultati ottenuti è possibile fornire una stima, per i tre stati di finitura di Cor-Ten A considerati, del quantitativo totale (solubile + estraibile) dei metalli rilasciati in ambiente nei sette mesi di esposizione durante la stagione primaverile-estiva della sperimentazione condotta in questo studio. La quantità rilasciata stimata per il Fe oscilla tra i 0,5 g/m2 per i provini light e i 0,7 g/m2 per i provini dark e grezzi, per il Ni il range è compreso tra i 3,6 mg/m2 dei provini grezzi e i 5 mg/m2 per i light, nel caso del Mn il quantitativo varia dai 6,8 mg/m2 per i light ai 10 mg/m2 per i grezzi. Per il Cr la stima per i provini pre-patinati è simile e si attesta intorno a 1,7 mg/m2, risultando minore (anche se in maniera non rilevate) per i grezzi.

Corrosione atmosferica in area urbana-costiera di un acciaio Cor-Ten: studio del rilascio in ambiente dei metalli di lega

Cor-Ten is a particular kind of steel, belonging to low-alloyed steel; thanks to his aesthetic features and resistance to atmospheric corrosion, this material is largely used in architectural, artistic and infrastructural applications. After environmental exposure, Cor-Ten steel exhibits the characteristic ability to self-protect from corrosion, by the development of a stable and adherent protective layer. However, some environmental factors can influence the formation and stability of the patina. In particular, exposure of Cor-Ten to polluted atmosphere (NOx, SOx, O3) or coastal areas (marine spray) may cause problems to the protective layer and, as a consequence, a release of alloying metals, which can accumulate near the structures. Some of these metals, such as Cr and Ni, could be very dangerous for soils and water because of their large toxicity. The aim of this work was to study the corrosion behavior of Cor-Ten exposed to an urban-coastal site (Rimini, Italy). Three different kinds of commercial surface finish (bare and pre-patinated, with or without a beeswax covering) were examined, both in sheltered and unsheltered exposure conditions. Wet deposition brushing the specimens surface (leaching solutions) are monthly collected and analyzed to evaluate the extent of metal release and the form in which they leave the surface, for example, as water-soluble compounds or non-adherent corrosion products. Five alloying metals (Fe, Cu, Cr, Mn and Ni) and nine ions (Cl-, NO3-, NO2-, SO42-, Na+, Ca2+, K+, Mg2+, NH4+) are determined through Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and Ion Chromatography, respectively. Furthermore, the evolution and the behaviour of the patina are periodically followed by surface investigations (SEM-EDS and Raman Spectroscopy). After two years of exposure, the results show that Bare Cor-Ten, cheaper than the other analyzed specimens, even though undergoes the greater mass variation, his metal release is comparable to the release of the pre-patinated samples. The behavior of pre-patinated steel, with or without beeswax covering, do not show particular difference. This exposure environment doesn’t allow a completely stabilization of the patina; nevertheless an estimate of metal release after 10 years of exposure points out that the environmental impact of Cor-Ten is very low: for example, the release of chromium in the soluble fraction is less than 10 mg if we consider an exposed wall of 10 m2.
