Aplicação de técnicas eletroquímicas na determinação do potencial de corrosividade de ligas de alumínio em água produzida

The resistance of aluminum and their alloys, to the corrosion phenomenon, in aqueous solutions, is a result of the oxide layer formed. However, the corrosion process in the aluminum alloy is associated with the presence a second phase of particles or the presence of chloride ions which promote the disruption of the oxide layer located producing the corrosion process. On the other hand, the term water produced is used to describe the water after the separation of the oil and gas in API separators. The volumes of produced water arrive around 5 more times to the volume of oil produced. The greatest feature of the water is the presence of numerous pollutants. Due to the increased volume of waste around the world in the current decade, the outcome and the effect of the discharge of produced water on the environment has recently become an important issue of environmental concern where numerous treatments are aimed at reducing these contaminants before disposal. Then, this study aims to investigate the electrochemical corrosion behavior of aluminum alloy 6060 in presence of water produced and the influence of organic components as well as chloride ions, by using the electrochemical techniques of linear polarization. The modification of the passive layer and the likely breakpoints were observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). In the pit formation potential around -0.4 to -0.8 V/EAg/AgCl was observed that the diffusion of chloride ions occurs via the layer formed with the probable formation of pits. Whereas, at temperatures above 65 °C, it was observed that the range of potential for thepit formation was -0.4 to -0.5 V/EAg/AgCl. In all reactions, the concentration of Al(OH)3 in the form of a gel was observed

Avaliação do potencial mutagênico da água do açude de Lucrécia (RN- Brasil): um enfoque na relação saúde e ambiente

The water quality of many reservoirs in the world has been reduced due to percolation of contaminants to water, which can have natural or anthropogenic origin, increasing the level of genotoxic compounds in aquatic ecosystems. This fact has contributed to the reduction of environmental quality, and commitment the health of living beings that inhabit these ecosystems, including the human population. In this backdrop of reduced water quality, is the Lucrecia dam, which is a major surface water reservoirs by volume of semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte, and that has shown contamination by heavy metals, cyanobacteria toxic and the natural presence of Radon. The population that use this source has been showing high rates of cancer, popularly associated with the consumption of this water, with a prevalence about three times higher compared to the whole state of Rio Grande do Norte. Based on this, the present study aimed to evaluate the mutagenic potencial of surface water from the Lucrecia dam, using the Micronucleus Test in Tradescantia pallida (Trad-MN) and in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (CBMN) assay, as well as identify the concentrations of some heavy metals in this water. Water samples were collected on a dry season and a rainy season, in two distinct points. Moreover, in order to bring a completely view about the relationship of man-health-environment in this local, through the knowledge of knowing / acting environmental from residents of Lucrecia, and the use and perceptions they have about the dam of your city, a study of Environmental Perception was carried out with local residents. The results obtained for the both micronucleus test, showed significant results for the three points analyzed. The strongest mutagenic effect was observed in the dry season for both assays. Chemical analyses detected an increase of heavy metal levels in different points and season above the maximum allowed by legislation. Regarding the study of Environmental Perception with local residents, it was observed the knowledge of the environment that the residents have, as well as the strong ties and perceptions with the dam of the city. Thus, the combination of these two aspects (the genetic toxicity tests conducted in the dam together with analysis of environmental perception with the residents of Lucrecia) allowed to draw a more complete diagnosis on the local situation

Ferramenta computacional para análise do potencial de bombeamento de água utilizando aerogeradores de pequeno porte acoplados a motobombas por meio de inversores de frequência

O objetivo desta dissertação é desenvolver uma ferramenta computacional para a análise do potencial de bombeamento de água com base nos valores de velocidades de vento de uma localidade, utilizando um aerogerador de pequeno porte acoplado a um conjunto motobomba convencional, por intermédio de um inversor de frequência. No trabalho são apresentados dois métodos para o cálculo da vazão. O método 1 utiliza um modelo teórico, enquanto que no método 2 o modelamento é feito a partir de dados de bombeamento obtidos em laboratório. Os dois métodos descrevem o funcionamento de um sistema de bombeamento de água envolvendo os equipamentos citados. Utilizando os modelos matemáticos descritos, foi criado um programa em linguagem Delphi®, para a obtenção dos valores de vazão e volume de água bombeada, além do número de pessoas que podem ser atendidas, com base nos dados de velocidade de vento do local, para com isso, ser possível analisar a viabilidade ou não de instalação do sistema. O funcionamento do programa é descrito através de um exemplo, que contém valores reais de velocidade de vento, e cujos resultados são analisados de forma a possibilitar seu entendimento.

Este mapa e um passo intermediário de um método que vem sendo desenvolvido para a definição de áreas de risco de contaminação por agroquímicos, levando em consideração as propriedades dos produtos, características físicas locais e climáticas.

Un gran recurso: Las plantas ornamentales en Nicaragua. Una guía sobre los arboles y arbustos ornamentales, exóticos, nativos y nativos potenciales

En esta obra se presentan especies de árboles y arbustos de gran belleza escénica, ya sea por sus flores, follaje vistoso o arreglo, muchas de éstas pocas veces observadas por la mayoría de los nicaragüenses (exceptuando los pobladores locales), tal es el caso de especies como: Cassia moschata, Erblichia odorata, Poeppigia procera muy vistosas, las que constituyen un recurso natural de gran potencial que deberían ser promovidas para el ornato de nuestros parques, calles y hogares de nuestro país.
