A quitosana é produzida através de uma desacetilação alcalina da quitina, a qual é encontrada em exoesqueleto de crustáceos, parede celular de fungos e materiais biológicos. Calcula-se que os resíduos de camarão apresentam de 5 a 7% do seu peso total na forma de quitina, sugerindo que estes sejam utilizados para obtenção do biopolímero. Os processos para obtenção destes biopolímeros consiste nas seguintes etapas: desmineralização, desproteinização e desodorização, obtendo-se assim, a quitina úmida. Após seca, passa por uma desacetilação química para a conversão em quitosana úmida, sendo purificada e posteriormente seca. A quitosana, por apresentar grupamentos amino livres em sua estrutura, é uma molécula capaz de formar complexos estáveis com cátions metálicos. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi obter quitina a partir de resíduos de camarão (Penaeus brasiliensis) com posterior produção de quitosana, e avaliar sua capacidade de complexação com íons Fe3+, em solução. A quitosana produzida foi caracterizada através do grau de desacetiliação e da massa molecular viscosimétrica, Para caracterização estrutural das amostras de quitosana, utilizaram-se espectrometria de infravermelho e espectrofotometria UV-Visível, bem como para o complexo formado de quitosana e ferro. Para analisar a eficiência da remoção deste íon, foram feitas análises em espectrometria de absorção atômica em chama e em espectrofotometria UV-Visível. Uma análise estatística foi realizada para avaliar a percentagem de remoção do íon ferro das soluções, sendo utilizado um planejamento fatorial em dois níveis, tendo como variáveis independentes o pH do meio, a quantidade de quitosana adicionada, a granulometria da mesma e o tempo de reação. A quitosana apresentou grau de desacetilação de 87±2% e massa molecular viscosimétrica de 196±4kDa, sendo esses valores, comparáveis à quitosana disponível comercialmente. Na melhor região de trabalho definida pela análise estatística, obteve-se uma remoção máxima de 85 % do íon ferro das soluções.

O ácido chiquímico é um indicador da intoxicação das plantas por glifosate. Apesar de inativado no solo, há indícios de que esse herbicida pode ser liberado pelas raízes das plantas tratadas sendo, posteriormente, absorvido por outras plantas. O objetivo desse trabalho foi verificar a exsudação do glifosate a partir de plantas de soja RR e sua posterior absorção por soja convencional, ambas cultivadas em sistema hidropônico. Os resultados mostraram que houve exsudação do glifosate e de seu metabolito ácido aminometilfosfônico (AMPA) pela soja RR na solução nutritiva e posterior absorção do herbicida, indicada pelo acúmulo do ácido chiquímico nas plantas de soja convencional. Comprova-se a exsudação e posterior absorção do glifosate, entretanto, relacionar estes fatos com os efeitos negativos sobre o crescimento e o aumento da suscetibilidade das plantas às doenças é prematuro, principalmente devido à forte adsorção do produto. Há necessidade de estudos posteriores que relacionem fatores climáticos, balanço de massas além de microorganismos endofíticos e micorrizas.

A maioria dos estudos envolvendo adsorção de hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos (HPA) é realizada em solos de regiões de clima frio. Como em países tropicais as características dos processos pedológicos e os solos resultantes são diferentes há necessidade desses estudos em solos brasileiros. Com esse objetivo, este trabalho estudou a adsorção de pireno em Argissolo, Neossolo Quartzarênico e Vertissolo. Verificou-se ainda que não foi somente o teor de matéria orgânica responsável pelo equilíbrio do processo de adsorção como esperado. A presença de argilas expansivas pode ter contribuição para o aumento da quantidade de pireno adsorvida no solo (Q), como foi verificado para o Vertissolo. Foi observado que as categorias de solos estudadas apresentam características físicoquímicas e Koc muito diferentes indicando que o processo de adsorção de pireno nestes solos não pode ser considerado como um modelo único.

The adsorption capacity of alpha-chitosan and its modified form with succinic anhydride was compared with the traditional adsorbent active carbon by using the dye methylene blue, employed in the textile industry. The isotherms for both biopolymers were classified as SSA systems in the Giles model, more specifically in L class and subgroup 3. The dye concentration in the supernatant in the adsorption assay was determined through electronic spectroscopy. By calorimetric titration thermodynamic data of the interaction between methyene blue and the chemically modified chitosan at the solid/liquid interface were obtained. The enthalpy of the dye/chitosan interaction gave 2.47 ± 0.02 kJ mol-1 with an equilibrium constant of 7350 ± 10 and for the carbon/dye interaction this constant gave 5951 ± 8. The spontaneity of these adsorptions are reflected by the free Gibbs energies of -22.1 ± 0.4 and -21.5 ± 0.2 kJ mol-1, respectively, found for these systems. This new adsorbent derived from a natural polysaccharide is as efficient as activated carbon. However 97% of the bonded dye can be eluted by sodium chloride solution, while this same operation elutes only 42% from carbon. Chitosan is efficient in dye removal with the additional advantage of being cheap, non-toxic, biocompatible and biodegradable.

This paper presents two techniques to evaluate soil mechanical resistance to penetration as an auxiliary method to help in a decision-making in subsoiling operations. The decision is based on the volume of soil mobilized as a function of the considered critical soil resistance to penetration in each case. The first method, probabilistic, uses statistical techniques to define the volume of soil to be mobilized. The other method, deterministic, determines the percentage of soil to be mobilized and its spatial distribution. Both cases plot the percentage curves of experimental data related to the soil mechanical resistance to penetration equal or larger to the established critical level and the volume of soil to be mobilized as a function of critical level. The deterministic method plots showed the spatial distribution of the data with resistance to penetration equal or large than the critical level. The comparison between mobilized soil curves as a function of critical level using both methods showed that they can be considered equivalent. The deterministic method has the advantage of showing the spatial distribution of the critical points.

Rare earth ion doped solid state materials are the most important active media of near-infrared and visible lasers and other photonic devices. In these ions, the occurrence of Excited State Absorptions (ESA), from long lived electronic levels, is commonplace. Since ESA can deeply affect the efficiencies of the rare earth emissions, evaluation of these transitions cross sections is of greatest importance in predicting the potential applications of a given material. In this paper a detailed description of the pump-probe technique for ESA measurements is presented, with a review of several examples of applications in Nd3+, Tm3+ and Er3+ doped materials.

Interactions of cationic dye methylene blue (MB) with clay particles in aqueous suspension have been extensively studied. As already known, the number of natural negative charges on the clay modifies significantly the particle sizes dispersed in water and therefore the nature of the interaction with the dye. This work evaluated with UV-Vis spectroscopy method how the clay particle sizes weighted on the adsorption and rearrangement of the dye molecules in aqueous system. The results obtained from light-scattering measurements confirmed that larger particles are found in suspensions containing the high-charged clays as the visible absorption band related to the MB aggregates (570 nm) on these suspensions prevailed.

Cellulose acetate polymeric membranes had been prepared by a procedure of two steps, combining the method of phase inversion and the technique of hydrolysis-deposition. The first step was the preparation of the membrane, and together was organomodified with tetraethylortosilicate and 3-aminopropyltrietoxysilane. Parameters that exert influence in the complexation of the metallic ion, as pH, time of complexation, metal concentration, had been studied in laboratory using tests of metal removal. The membranes had presented resistance mechanics and reactivity to cations, being able to be an alternative for the removal, daily pay-concentration or in the study of the lability of metals complexed.

A method using ultrasonication extraction for the determination of 17 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), selected by the USEPA and NIOSH as "consent decree" priority pollutants, in soil by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was studied. Separation and detection were completed in 20 min with a C18 columm, acetonitrile-water gradient elution and ultraviolet absorption and fluorescence detections. The detection limits, for a 10 µL of solution injection, were less than 9,917 ng/g in UV detection and less than 1,866 ng/g in fluorescence detection. Several organic solvents were tested for extraction of the 17 PAHs from soils. Acetone was the best solvent among the three solvents tested, and the order of the extraction efficiencies was: acetone>methanol>acetonitrile. Ultrasonication using acetone as solvent extraction was used to evaluate the biodegradation of those compounds in contaminated soil during a vermicomposting process.

This work describes methods for the simultaneous determination of Cd and Pb by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry and As by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry in Brazilian nuts. The samples (~ 0.300 g) were digested to clear solutions in a closed vessel microwave oven. The pyrolysis and atomization temperatures for simultaneous determinations of Cd and Pb were 1100 and 2100 °C, respectively, using 0.5% (w v-1) NH4H2PO4 + 0.03% (w v-1) Mg(NO3)2 as chemical modifier. The limits of detection (3Δ) were 3.8 μg kg-1 for As, 0.86 μg kg-1 for Cd and 13 μg kg-1 for Pb. The reliability of the entire procedures was confirmed by peach leaves (No. 1547 - NIST) certified reference material analysis and addition and recovery tests. The found concentrations presented no statistical differences at the 95% confidence level.

A commercial corrosion inhibitor used in petroleum production was characterized by means of infrared spectroscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Predicting the adsorption behavior of corrosion inhibitor onto steel, sandstone and esmectite is the key to improve working conditions. In this study, the adsorption kinetics of inhibitor formulations in HCl 15% or in Mud Acid (HCl 13,5% and ammonium bifluoride) onto steel, sandstone and esmectite was determined by means of spectrophotometry. Kinetic parameters indicated that adsorption of inhibitor in the presence of bifluoride was favored. Moreover, the adsorption constant rate was the largest when the substrate was esmectite.
