Como o governo federal cobre seu prejuízo e paga suas dívidas

O Orçamento do governo federal é deficitário. Entra ano e sai ano, o país gasta mais do que arrecada. Para tentar amenizar o problema, o governo criou em 1999 uma meta de superávit primário. Essa meta é diferente de ter lucro ou prejuízo.

The braids of the virgin: Taino roots of the early cult of La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre in Cuba

Since her discovery in Cuban waters in 1611, La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre (The Virgin of Charity) has become the leading transnational religious symbol for Cubans. The oldest stories about the appearance of La Virgen in Cuba suggest the presence of Cuban Taino in the early years of her cult. Yet historians have minimized Taino influence when examining Cuba's sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, pivotal years in the cult's development. This thesis demonstrated the significant role of the Taino in the formation of the early cult of La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, by employing revisionist historiography to the years between 1492 and 1687, to better understand the demographics and religious culture of Eastern Cuba, where the cult originated. It also found specific contributions from Taino religious culture in the myths, beliefs, and material culture associated with the early cult of La Virgen. ^

Densificação e microestrutura de um compósito Mo-Cu preparado a partir de um pó de heptamolibidato de amônia e cobre

The Cu-Mo system is a composite used in the electrical industry as material for electrical contact and resistance welding electrode as well as the heat sink and microwave absorber in microelectronic devices. The use of this material in such applications is due to the excellent properties of thermal and electrical conductivity and the possibility of adjustment of its coefficient of thermal expansion to meet those of materials used as substrates in the semiconductor micoreletrônic industry. Powder metallurgy through the processes of milling, pressing shaping and sintering is a viable technique for consolidation of such material. However, the mutual insolubility of both phases and the low wettability of liquid Cu on Mo impede its densification. However, the mutual insolubility of both phases and the low wettability of liquid Cu on Mo impede its densification. The mechanical alloying is a technique for preparation of powders used to produce nanocrystalline composite powder with amorphous phase or extended solid solution, which increases the sinterability immiscible systems such as the Mo-Cu. This paper investigates the influence of ammonium heptamolybdate (HMA) and the mechanical alloying in the preparation of a composite powder HMA-20% Cu and the effect of this preparation on densification and structure of MoCu composite produced. HMA and Cu powders in the proportion of 20% by weight of Cu were prepared by the techniques of mechanical mixing and mechanical alloying in a planetary mill. These were milled for 50 hours. To observe the evolution of the characteristics of the particles, powder samples were taken after 2, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 hours of milling. Cylindrical samples 5 to 8 mm in diameter and 3 to 4 mm thickness were obtained by pressing at 200 MPa to the mixed powders so as to ground. These samples were sintered at 1200 ° C for 60 minutes under an atmosphere of H2. To determine the effect of heating rate on the structure of the material during the decomposition and reduction of HMA, rates of 2, 5 and 10 ° C / min were used .. The post and the structures of the sintered samples were characterized by SEM and EDS. The density of the green and sintered bodies was measured using the geometric method (weight / volume). Vickers microhardness with a load of 1 N for 15 s were performed on sintered structures. The density of the sintered structures 10 ° C / min. reached 99% of theoretical density, how the density of sintered structures to 2 ° C / min. reached only 90% of the theoretical density

Transportadores sólidos de oxigênio à base de níquel e cobre suportados em aluminatos para combustão do metano pela tecnologia de recirculação química

In recent years, solid carriers suitable oxygen have been developed for use in different chemical processes recirculation. The success of this technology is directly related to the chemical reactivity and the oxygen storage capacity of the carrier. Thus, research into the development of new materials that can be applied to the process becomes extremely important. Possible candidates are the carriers based on nickel and copper for presenting favorable thermodynamic properties. In this work, aluminates type MAl2O4 (M = Mg and Ca) and M0,9B0,1Al2O4 (B = Ni and Cu) that are used as supports were synthesized by combustion reactions assisted by microwave and calcined at 900°C/2h. Then, the carriers were impregnated with 10% (m/m) of nickel or copper, and subsequently calcined at 600°C/2h to obtain the solid oxygen carriers, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) Microscopy scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). Reactions simulating the combustion process by chemical recirculation were performed by cycles reduction/oxidation, in order to evaluate the reactivity of carriers. XRD analysis revealed diffraction peaks of the spinel type structures. In the doped substrates were verified the presence of secondary phases, suggesting that all the metal was incorporated into the spinel structure. In solid oxygen carriers, the NiO and CuO phases were observed after impregnation of active phases on different media. The results of evaluations of chemical cycles reduction/oxidation revealed that TSO's impregnated with nickel in various media were more active and are potential candidates for use in the chemical recirculation technology

Síntese e caracterização de complexo tetranuclear de cobre com o ligante resorcinareno

The main objective of the present work is to contribute to the development of the coordination chemistry of macromolecules such as resorcinarene with the synthesis and characterization of new copper complexes with chloride, vanillin and resorcinarene binders, all coordinated to phenanthroline, a biologically active molecule with important properties in biological systems. The complex [(Cu(phen))4(resvan)], was synthesized from the direct reaction of the metals with resorcinarene and generates several possibilities for coordination, which hinders its characterization. Therefore, in order to limit the coordination sites of the ligand, the complex [(Cu(phen))4(resvan)]Cl4 was formed from a new synthetic methodology. The complex cis-[Cu(phen)Cl2], cis-[Cu(phen)(van)]Cl, [(Cu(phen))4(resvan)] and [(Cu(phen))4(resvan)]Cl4 were characterized by spectroscopic techniques such as IR, UV-vis and EPR. By using infrared it has been possible to demonstrate the presence of the phenanthroline ligand in the synthesized complexes, and vanillin in the complex cis- [Cu(phen)(van)]Cl and resvan ligand in the complex [(Cu(phen))4(resvan)], besides this indicating the formation of resorcinarene in the complex [(Cu(phen))4(resvan)]Cl4. The electronic spectra of these coordination compounds indicated the presence of the phenanthroline ligand, by its intense bands in the ultraviolet region. For the complex cis- [Cu(phen)(van)]Cl it still indicated the presence of the ligand vanillin based on intraligand bands of vanillin and charge transfer, LMCT. Furthermore, the spectra showed d-d bands, confirming the formation of metal compounds. The amount of copper atoms present in the complex [(Cu(phen))4(resvan)]Cl4 was estimated from a comparative analysis of the absorbances of solutions of the same concentration of [(Cu(phen))4(resvan)]Cl4 and cis- [Cu(phen)(van)]Cl, which indicates that these compounds have copper atoms in the ratio 4:1. The EPR spectra of the complex cis-[Cu(phen)Cl2], cis-[Cu(phen)(van)]Cl and [(Cu(phen))4(resvan)]Cl4 showed axial profiles, while the complex [(Cu(phen))4(resvan)] showed of axial and rhombic profiles, indicating a change in the symmetry of the Cu (II) to this complex environment. The binders vanillin and resvan underwent biological assays with satisfactory results, both exhibited antioxidant activity and low toxicity, as well vanillin present antitoxoplásmico character.

For the complex [Fe(3-MeOsalen)NO] was observed a new intense band in 1670 cm-1 related to the ν(NO). With the electronic spectra, the formation of complexes was evidenced by shifts of bands intraligands transitions and the emergence of new bands such as LMCT (p Cl-  d* Fe3+) in [Fe(3-MeOsalen)Cl] and the d-d in [Cu(3-MeOsalen)H2O]. As for the [Fe(3-MeOsalen)NO2] has highlighted the absence of LMCT band present in the precursor complex as for the [Cu(3-MeOsalen)NO2] found that the displacement of the band hipsocrômico d-d on 28 nm. The electronic spectrum of [Fe(3-MeOsalen)(etil2-dtc)] presented LMCT band shifts and changes in intraligantes transitions. With regard to [Fe(3-MeOsalen)NO], revealed a more energetic transitions intraligands regions from the strong character π receiver NO and MLCT band of transition dπFe(II)π*(NO).

Usos de membranas de quitosana na remoção de cobre em águas residuais

In this work a chitosan (CS) ionically crosslinked were manufactured by treatment with sulfuric acid solution for application in the treatment of wastewater from oil industry. Two crosslinking process were developed: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In the homogeneous process the ratio molar of SO42-/ NH3+ (1:6 and 1:4) were the variable analyzed, denominated CS16 and CS14 respectively. In the heterogeneous process the soaking time of the membranes in sulfuric acid solution were the variable studied, being used times of 5 (CS5) and 30 (CS30) minutes. FTIR-ATR results indicated no changes in the characteristics of chitosan after homogeneous crosslinking process, while heterogeneous crosslinking showed formation of ionic bonds between protonated groups from chitosan and the crosslinking agent sulfate ions. TG/DTG and XRD analysis confirmed the formation of these interactions, as also shown the new structure on the surface region of CS5 and CS30 membranes compared to CS, CS16 e CS14. Swelling test in aqueous medium have shown that crosslinking process reduced the membrane sorption capacity. Swelling test in acid medium demonstrated that CS16 and CS14 membranes increasing the adsorption capacity up to a maximum percentage of 140% approximately, whereas the CS5 e CS30 reached a maximum of 60%. The mechanical properties indicated the stiff and ductile behavior of crosslinked membrane. Adsorption experiments of CuCl2 results that CS16 membranes reached the efficiency maximum with 73% of copper removal at pH 5.0 and 87% at pH 4.0. The experiments with CuSO4 also obtained efficiency maximum to the CS16 membrane and 80% to the removal of Cu2+ ions. Also was verified that the increase of concentration and temperature cause a decrease in the adsorption capacity for all membranes. Kinetics study indicated that pseudo-second-order obtained characterized better the membranes. Equilibrium studies demonstrated that the CS, CS16 and CS14 follow the Langmuir model, whereas CS5 and CS30 follows Freundlich model. Filtration experiments results with rejection maximum to the CS16 and CS5 membranes, reaching 92 and 98% respectively.

Verdigrís, pigmento histórico de cobre: estudio de su composición y color a partir de reproducciones de antiguas recetas

Bajo la denominación del verdigrís se incluye una amplia variedad de pigmento de origen sintético cuyo color puede ser verde, verde-azulado o incluso azul. Su proceso de obtención se basa en la corrosión del cobre o sus aleaciones provocada por la acción del ácido acético contenido en el vinagre o por la acción de cloruros (cloruro sódico o cloruro amónico). Ha sido uno de los pigmentos más importantes de la historia y ha sido profusamente utilizado por artistas de todas las épocas y escuelas pictóricas. Sus procesos de obtención se conocen desde la antigüedad clásica, y aparecen recogidos en textos de aquella época y en muchos otros de la época medieval y de los siglos XVI al XIX. Incluso existen patentes de invención de los siglos XIX y XX relacionadas con su obtención y con la propuesta de sistemas para mejorar su producción. Una peculiaridad de este pigmento es su solubilidad en agua, por lo que también ha sido utilizado enla elaboración de tintas que han sido profusamente utilizadas para la elaboración de planos y mapas; en este tipo de usos eran utilizadas para representar las zonas de vegetación o de agua (ríos, lagos, zonas de costa) Son numerosas las investigaciones que se han realizado en torno a este pigmento. Muchas de ellas han estado dirigidas a esclarecer su composición química y aunque son de indudable interés, estas aportaciones no resultan suficientes. La principal razón es que se trata de un pigmento que puede obedecer a una amplia variedad de composiciones; a este respecto han sido identificadas diferentes hidroxiacetatos de cobre(II) hidratados, hidroxicloruros de cobre(II) y acetato de cobre(II) hidratado, entre otros compuestos...
