The underground natural gas found associated or not with oil is characterized by a mixture of hydrocarbons and residual components such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen gas (N2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), called contaminants. The H2S especially promotes itself as a contaminant of natural gas to be associated with corrosion of pipelines, to human toxicity and final applications of Natural Gas (NG). The sulfur present in the GN must be fully or partially removed in order to meet the market specifications, security, transport or further processing. There are distinct and varied methods of desulfurization of natural gas processing units used in Natural Gas (UPGN). In order to solve these problems have for example the caustic washing, absorption, the use of membranes and adsorption processes is costly and great expenditure of energy. Arises on such findings, the need for research to active processes of economic feasibility and efficiency. This work promoted the study of the adsorption of sulfide gas in polymer matrices hydrogen pure and modified. The substrates of Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and sodium alginate (NaALG) were coated with vanadyl phosphate compounds (VOPO4.2H2O), vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), rhodamine B (C28H31N2O3Cl) and ions Co2+ and Cu2+, aiming to the adsorption of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S). The adsorption tests were through a continuous flow of H2S in a column system (fixed bed reactor) adsorption on a laboratory scale. The techniques used to characterize the adsorbents were Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), the X-ray diffraction (XRD) electron microscopy (SEM). Such work indicates, the results obtained, the adsorbents modified PMMA, PVC and NaALG have a significant adsorptive capacity. The matrix that stood out and had the best adsorption capacity, was to ALG modified Co2+ with a score of 12.79 mg H2S / g matrix

This work reports the synthesis of zeolites with different compositions (pure silica, Si/Ti and Si/Al), via hydroxide and fluoride medium using the cation 1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium as structure directing agent. Initially, the cation was synthesized in chloride form and used for the synthesis in hydroxide medium. An anion-exchange (Cl- for OH-) was required for the synthesis in fluoride medium. Different reactants were used for the formation of gels synthesis, resulting in the crystallization of MFI and TON phases, the latter predominant in many compositions. The cation and synthesized zeolites obtained were characterized by different techniques such as NMR, TG/DTG, XRD, SEM, N2 adsorption and desorption, DRS and EPMA. Besides characterizing the cation and zeolites, the mother liquor of hydroxide synthesis was characterized and it was possible to observe a modification of the cation in the synthesis conditions employed. The materials synthesized in this work can be applied in catalytic reactions and adsorption

A catalyst of great interest to the scientific community tries to unite the structure of ordered pore diameter from mesoporous materials with the properties of stability and acid activity to microporous zeolites. Thus a large number of materials was developed in the past decades, which although being reported as zeolites intrinsically they fail to comply with some relevant characteristics to zeolites, and recently were named zeolitic materials of high accessibility. Among the various synthesis strategies employed, the present research approaches the synthesis methods of crystallization of silanized protozeolitic units and the method of protozeolitic units molded around surfactant micelles, in order for get materials defined as hierarchical zeolites and micro-mesoporous hybrid materials, respectively. As goal BEA/MCM-41 hybrid catalysts with bimodal pore structure formed by nuclei of zeolite Beta and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium were developed. As also was successfully synthesized the hierarchical Beta zeolite having a secondary porosity, in addition to the typical and uniform zeolite micropores. Both catalysts were applied in reactions of catalytic cracking of high density polyethylene (HDPE), to evaluate its properties in catalytic activity, aiming at the recycling of waste plastics to obtain high value-added raw materials and fuels. The BEA/MCM-41 hybrid materials with 0 days of pre-crystallization did not show enough properties for use in catalytic cracking reactions, but they showed superior catalytic properties compared to those ordered mesoporous materials of Al-MCM-41 type. The structure of Beta zeolite with hierarchical porosity leads the accessibility of HDPE bulky molecules to active centers, due to high external area. And provides higher conversion to hydrocarbons in the gasoline range, especially olefins which have great interest in the petrochemical industry

Ceramic powders based on oxides of perovskite-type structure is of fundamental interest nowadays, since they have important ionic-electronic conductivity in the use of materials with technological applications such as gas sensors, oxygen permeation membranes, catalysts and electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The main objective of the project is to develop nanostructured ceramic compounds quaternary-based oxide Barium (Br), Strontium (Sr), Cobalt (Co) and Iron (Fe). In this project were synthesized compounds BaxSr(1-x)Co0, 8Fe0,2O3- (x = 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8) through the oxalate co-precipitation method. The synthesized powders were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis (TGADTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) with the Rietveld refinement using the software MAUD and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the synthesis technique used was suitable for production of nanostructured ceramic solid solutions. The powders obtained had a crystalline phase with perovskite-type structure. The TGA-DTA results showed that the homogeneous phase of interest was obtained temperature above 1034°C. It was also observed that the heating rate of the calcination process did not affect the elimination of impurities present in the ceramic powder. The variation in the addition of barium dopant promoted changes in the average crystallite size in the nanometer range, the composition being BSCF(5582) obtained the lowest value (179.0nm). The results obtained by oxalate co-precipitation method were compared with those synthesis methods in solid state and EDTA-citrate method

This thesis focuses on the coprecipitation synthesis method for preparation of ceramic materials with perovskite structure, their characterization and application as catalytic material in the reaction of converting CO to CO2 developing a methodological alternative route of synthesis from the middle via oxalate coprecipitation material SrCo0,8Fe0,2O3-d. In order to check the influence of this method, it was also synthesized using a combined citrate - EDTA complexing method. The material was characterized by: X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement method, thermogravimetry and differential thermo analysis (TG / DTA), scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy, particle size distribution and surface analysis method BET. Both methods led to post-phase synthesis, with pH as a relevant parameter. The synthesis based on the method via oxalate coprecipitation among particles led to the crystalline phase as those obtained using a combined citrate - EDTA complexing method under the same conditions of heat treatment. The nature of the reagent used via oxalate coprecipitation method produced a material with approximately 80 % lower than the average size of crystallites. Moreover, the via oxalate coprecipitation method precursors obtained in the solid state at low temperature (~ 26 oC), shorter synthesis, greater thermal stability and a higher yield of around 90-95 %, maintaining the same order of magnitude the crystallite size that the combined citrate - EDTA complexing method. For purposes of comparing the catalytic properties of the material was also synthesized by the using a combined citrate - EDTA complexing method. The evaluation of catalytic materials SrCo0,8Fe0,2O3-d LaNi0,3Co0,7O3-d was accompanied on the oxidation of CO to CO2 using a stainless steel tubular reactor in the temperature range of 75-300 oC. The conversion CO gas was evaluated in both materials on the results shaved that the firm conversion was loves for the material LaNi0,3Co0,7O3-d

Objetivo: o estudo longitudinal, entre o 18º e o 21º dias de prenhez, das alterações bioquímicas e histoquímicas das placentas de ratas diabéticas, cujos fetos tiveram macrossomia e retardo de crescimento intra-uterino (CIUR). Material e Método: usando modelo experimental em ratas, foram estudados 3 grupos: controle, diabete moderado e grave. A prenhez foi resolvida por cesárea no 18º ou no 21º dia. Compararam-se as glicemias materna e fetal; a incidência de recém-nascidos (RN) de peso pequeno (PIP), adequado (AIP) e grande (GIP) para tempo de prenhez; peso, índice e conteúdo de DNA, RNA e proteínas placentários e quantidade de glicogênio na superfície de trocas materno-fetais. Resultados: no diabete moderado houve maior proporção de RN-GIP com placentas ricas em DNA e diminuição progressiva de glicogênio em suas membranas no final da prenhez. No diabete grave houve predomínio de RN-GIP e as placentas exibiram menor conteúdo de DNA, síntese aumentada de RNA e tendência a maior produção protéica, com manutenção dos depósitos de glicogênio. Conclusões: concluiu-se que, entre o 18º e o 21º dias, os desvios do crescimento fetal no diabete materno, moderado e grave relacionam-se a alterações placentárias distintas. No moderado há apenas hiperplasia celular, com desaparecimento do glicogênio no final da prenhez. No grave, a superfície de trocas materno-fetais é mais espessada e, além de hiperplasia, há hipertrofia das células, com manutenção dos estoques placentários de glicogênio.

FUNDAMENTOS: A quitosana é polímero derivado da quitina, com vários tipos de aplicação na área médica. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a biocompatibilidade de membranas de quitosana no subcutâneo de ratos. MÉTODOS: Foram utilizados 20 ratos Wistar machos, nos quais foram implantadas membranas de quitosana, na região mediana dorsal. Os animais foram sacrificados: sete, 15, 30 e 60 dias após a cirurgia, tendo sido avaliados clinicamente durante o período experimental e com fotodocumentação no momento do sacrifício. Após o sacrifício, as membranas e tecidos adjacentes foram removidos e preparados para exame histológico e morfométrico. RESULTADOS: Nenhum animal apresentou efeitos adversos que pudessem ser atribuídos à implantação das membranas. O exame histológico mostrou que as inclusões são lisas e homogêneas e não são colonizadas por células do hospedeiro, sendo circundadas por pseudocápsula composta por fibroblastos e células inflamatórias. A morfometria da pseudocápsula revelou espessura semelhante durante todo o período experimental (P>0,05). CONCLUSÃO: A quitosana pode ser opção para uso como implante não integrado. Novos estudos devem ser realizados para comprovar a biocompatibilidade a longo prazo.

Rotina bacteriológica do conteúdo vaginal e cervical de 22 mulheres com histórico de aborto recente ou ruptura precoce das membranas foi realizada. Chlamydia trachomatis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Candida sp e Gardnerella vaginalis foram isolados em 54,5% (12) das pacientes. Apesar de Ureaplasma urealyticum ter sido frequentemente encontrado (45,5%), somente em 5 das 22 mulheres foi o único microrganismo presente nos materiais analisados. Esses resultados chamam a atenção para a importância de investigação quantitativa bem como qualitativa da microbiota genital em gestantes, tendo em vista ter consequências na gestação.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi introduzir a técnica de microfiltração tangencial (MFT) na produção de suco de laranja. O suco microfiltrado (SMFT) foi comparado química e sensorialmente com um suco pasteurizado (testemunha). Utilizou-se um piloto de MFT munido de quatro membranas (0,1, 0,2, 0,8 e 1,4mm) cerâmicas monotubulares dispostas em série, cada uma delas com superfície de 0,005m². Suco de laranja comercial flash pasteurizado foi usado como produto inicial. O trabalho experimental foi dividido em três fases: a) caracterização do piloto de MFT; b) otimização das condições operacionais; c) produção do SMFT. Na fase de otimização, a membrana de 0,8mm apresentou os melhores fluxos de permeado, seguidas pelas de 1,4, 0,1 e 0,2mm. Para garantir a esterilidade do permeado, a membrana de 0,1mm foi escolhida para a terceira fase do trabalho. Na produção do SMFT, o suco de laranja foi peneirado para separar uma parte de sua polpa, sendo em seguida microfiltrado. Depois, a polpa foi misturada ao retentato e a mistura pasteurizada. O SMFT foi obtido adicionando a mistura pasteurizada ao permeado. O SMFT apresentou teor de sólidos solúveis (°Brix), polpa, pH e acidez titulável semelhante ao suco inicial pasteurizado (testemunha); embora, tenha perdido maior quantidade (28%) de vitamina C. de acordo com os provadores do painel, o suco testemunha apresentou melhores características sensoriais em relação ao SMFT, por apresentar maior intensidade de odor e sabor frutoso.
