Mid-infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics were used to identify adulteration in roasted and ground coffee by addition of coffee husks. Consumers' sensory perception of the adulteration was evaluated by a triangular test of the coffee beverages. Samples containing above 0.5% of coffee husks from pure coffees were discriminated by principal component analysis of the infrared spectra. A partial least-squares regression estimated the husk content in samples and presented a root-mean-square error for prediction of 2.0%. The triangular test indicated that were than 10% of coffee husks are required to cause alterations in consumer perception about adulterated beverages.

Hydrogels have been prepared by free-radical solution copolymerization of acrylamide and sodium acrylate (NaAc), with molar ratio ranging from 25/75 to 80/20, respectively, using methylene bisacrylamide as the crosslinking agent. A FTIR spectroscopy procedure to determine the acrylate/acrylamide ratio in these hydrogels was proposed based on absorbance at 1410 cm-1 (nCOO-) and 2940 cm-1 (nCH and nCH2). A straight line with a good linear correlation coefficient (0.998) was obtained by plotting the acrylate content (Ac%) versus relative absorbance (Arel = A1410/A2940). Results were confirmed by the amount of sodium cation released in acid medium determined by atomic absorption spectrometry.

We propose an analytical method based on fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy to detect the adulteration of petrodiesel and petrodiesel/palm biodiesel blends with African crude palm oil. The infrared spectral fingerprints from the sample analysis were used to perform principal components analysis (PCA) and to construct a prediction model using partial least squares (PLS) regression. The PCA results separated the samples into three groups, allowing identification of those subjected to adulteration with palm oil. The obtained model shows a good predictive capacity for determining the concentration of palm oil in petrodiesel/biodiesel blends. Advantages of the proposed method include cost-effectiveness and speed; it is also environmentally friendly.

In this study, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to classify blends produced from diesel S500 and different kinds of biodiesel produced by the TDSP methodology. The different kinds of biodiesel studied in this work were produced from three raw materials: soybean oil, waste cooking oil and hydrogenated vegetable oil. Methylic and ethylic routes were employed for the production of biodiesel. HCA and PCA were performed on the data from attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, showing the separation of the blends into groups according to biodiesel content present in the blends and to the kind of biodiesel used to form the mixtures.

This article presents a discussion on light diffraction by slits and grids as well as the development of an experimental apparatus which provides quantitative observation of the phenomenon. We conducted a brief historical survey on the evolution of the wave theory of light and the role of diffraction in the context of optical spectroscopy. We also reviewed the use of Huygens’ principle to calculate the intensity pattern obtained when light is diffracted by slits and compared the predictions with experimental results obtained using the apparatus developed. Finally, the use of the apparatus in an optical spectroscopy experiment was demonstrated.

Nuclear magnetic resonance is a technique that is widely used for elucidating and characterizing organic substances. Organofluorine substances have applications in many areas from drugs to liquid crystals, but their NMR spectra are often challenging due to fluoride coupling with other nuclei. For this reason, NMR spectra of this class of substances are not commonly covered in undergraduate and graduate chemistry courses and related fields. Thus, the aim of this work was the presentation and discussion of 1H, 13C, and 19F NMR spectra of eleven organofluorine substances which, in the case of 1H and 13C nuclei, showed classic patterns of first-order coupling and the effects of the fluorine nucleus in different chemical and magnetic environments. In addition, the observation of long distance coupling constants was possible through the use of apodization functions in the processing of the spectra. It is expected that the examples presented herein can be utilized and discussed in undergraduate and graduate NMR spectroscopy disciplines and thus improve the teaching and future research of organofluorine compounds.

Neste trabalho realizou-se um estudo de caracterização metalúrgica do amálgama dentário Dispersalloy produzido pela empresa Dentsply Ind. e Com. Ltda., por meio da análise da sua composição química, utilizando-se a técnica espectrofotométrica de absorção atômica, procedendo-se em seguida, a análise metalográfica, utilizando-se microscopia eletrônica de varredura. A seguir, foi realizado um estudo de resistência à corrosão, utilizando-se técnicas eletroquímicas tradicionais de polarização e espectroscopia de impedância, em meio e condições que simulam a agressividade do ambiente bucal. Para isto, as amostras foram obtidas pelo processo de amalgamação mecânica, método usualmente utilizado pelos dentistas no próprio consultório, para a preparação da restauração dentária. A liga comercial Dispersalloy, representante da categoria de amálgamas de alto teor de cobre, tipo fase dispersa, foi escolhida para este estudo por ser bastante comercializada nos mercados nacional e internacional e, também por ser uma liga metálica moderna, bastante estudada, mas que ainda sofre corrosão no meio bucal.

Nickel and palladium dispersed on titania support were submitted to reductive treatment, under hydrogen, at 200 and 500 ºC. After the reductive thermal treatment the materials were exposed to carbon monoxide (10 Torr) and analyzed in the infrared region. The increasing of the electronic density in the metallic d subshell, produced by the reductive thermal treatment, was monitored by the infrared stretching band shift of carbon monoxide adsorbed and it was interpreted as a consequence of the metal-support interactions. The highest effect was observed for Pd/TiO2 system. From the FTIR spectra was also observed that the hydrogen spillover was stronger on Pd/TiO2 than Ni/TiO2 system.

Neste trabalho são apresentados resultados proveniente da aplicação da Espectroscopia Mössbauer na investigação de compostos carbonilferro contendo o ligante CS2, [Fe(CO)2(h²-CS2 )(PPh3)2] e [Fe(CO)2(h²-CS2) {P(OPh)3}2]. Nas sínteses dessas espécies, a utilização de TMNO (trimetilaminóxido) como agente descarbonilante mostrou-se bastante eficiente, superando aquelas descritas na literatura que requerem inclusive preparação de compostos precursores. Os resultados de espectroscopia Mössbauer, juntamente com dados no IV e de RMN de 31P, foram conclusivos na proposição da geometria octaédrica distorcida ao redor do átomo de ferro para ambos os compostos investigados.

The aim of this present work was to provide a more fast, simple and less expensive to analyze sulfur content in diesel samples than by the standard methods currently used. Thus, samples of diesel fuel with sulfur concentrations varying from 400 and 2500 mgkg-1 were analyzed by two methodologies: X-ray fluorescence, according to ASTM D4294 and by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). The spectral data obtained from FTIR were used to build multivariate calibration models by partial least squares (PLS). Four models were built in three different ways: 1) a model using the full spectra (665 to 4000 cm-1), 2) two models using some specific spectrum regions and 3) a model with variable selected by classic method of variable selection stepwise. The model obtained by variable selection stepwise and the model built with region spectra between 665 and 856 cm-1 and 1145 and 2717 cm-1 showed better results in the determination of sulfur content.

O uso de adoçantes líquidos com sacarina sódica é uma questão de saúde pública pela relação com obesidade e fonte de sódio. Os níveis de sacarina foram avaliados em quatro marcas de diferentes fabricantes em amostras adquiridas no comércio de Vitória/ES, entre os anos de 2006 e 2008. Foram encontrados níveis com valores entre 260 e 505 vezes acima da Resolução-RDC N0 8, 25/03/2008 (ANVISA), que é de 0,015 g/100 mL para sacarina e seus sais derivados. O perfil das amostras cristalizadas dos adoçantes foram avaliados por espectroscopia na região do infravermelho e por difração de raio-X de pó. A seletividade do método clássico de precipitação com AgNO3 também foi verificada por essas técnicas aplicadas nos precipitados de sacarinato de prata.

O objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver modelos de calibração multivariada, com espectros infravermelhos próximos (NIR), para predição de qualidade da madeira e da polpa celulósica kraft de Eucalyptus. Foram utilizadas 30 amostras de madeira, em forma de cavacos, e 116 amostras de polpa kraft de Eucalyptus. Os cavacos foram utilizados com dois teores de umidade (33% e 10%). Nos cavacos mais úmidos, foram obtidas as seguintes correlações: 97% na densidade básica, 84% no teor de extrativos e 93% no teor de lignina. Nos cavacos mais secos, as correlações foram: 97% na densidade básica, 92% no teor de extrativos e 90% na lignina. Para a predição de qualidade das polpas, foram obtidos espectros NIR de folhas de celulose e das polpas na forma original (desagregada). Os modelos com espectros obtidos na folha de celulose apresentaram correlações de 94% no número kappa, 93% na viscosidade da polpa, 90% no rendimento depurado e 86% no teor de ácido hexenurônico. Os modelos com espectros obtidos na polpa desagregada apresentaram as seguintes correlações: 90% no número kappa, 91% na viscosidade da polpa, 88% no rendimento depurado e 85% no teor de ácidos hexenurônicos. Os resultados demonstraram a viabilidade da aplicação da técnica de modelagem das características da madeira e da polpa celulósica, utilizando-se espectros NIR.
