O estudo de compostos organolantanídeos consiste em um dos campos de maior interesse dentro da química organometálica, principalmente devido ao uso potencial como precursores ou catalisadores em reações de hidrogenação, hidroformilação, carbonilação, oxidação e principalmente polimerização de olefinas. Este interesse tem levado diversos grupos de pesquisa a sintetizarem compostos utilizando o ânion ciclopentadienil e seus derivados ligados a íons lantanídeos (III). O presente trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir para a aplicação desses compostos organolantanídeos como catalisadores em reações de polimerização de olefinas. O trabalho envolveu uma etapa de síntese e caracterização de duas classes de compostos organolantanídeos Ln(MS)2Cp*(Ln = Tb e Yb), e Ln(MS)2Cp*PzA (Ln = Sm, Tb e Yb) e uma etapa de estudo da atividade catalítica desses compostos frente a reações de polimerização de etileno, propileno e estireno, utilizando metilaluminoxano como co-catalisador e a caracterização dos polímeros formados. Os compostos sintetizados apresentaram atividade catalítica apenas para polimerização de estireno. O polímero formado, independente do composto organolantanídeo utilizado, foi caracterizado como poliestireno principalmente atático, indicando que a polimerização não é estereoespecífica e apresentou massa molar da ordem de 104 g/mol.

A presente tese trata das reações de sulfanilação de algumas 2-sulfinilciclanonas racêmicas pelo método de catálise por transferência de fase (CTF), seja usando cloreto de benziltrietilamônio (TEBAC) seja usando catalisador quirálico. As reações de sulfanilação pelo método de CTF empregando TEBAC, forneceram produtos sulfanilados em altos rendimentos (75-93%), enquanto que as reações empregando a mesma metodologia, utilizando catalisadores quirálicos, conduziram não só a altos rendimentos, mas também a um aumento no excesso diastereomérico. Foram determinadas as configurações relativas da 2metilsulfanil- 2-metilsulfinilciclopentanona e 2-p-tolilsulfanil-2metilsulfinilcicloexanona pela análise de difração de Raios-X como sendo 2S*SS*. A parte final da Tese contém reações de sulfanilação da 2-metilsulfinilciclopentanona e 2-metilsulfinilcicloexanona opticamente ativas. É digno de nota que estas, ao contrário da 2-p-tolilsulfinil ciclanonas, descritas na literatura, conduziram a produtos sulfanilados estáveis. Finalmente, a tese mostra um exemplo de condensação aldólica assimétrica partindo da 2-metilsulfanil-2-metilsulfinilcicloexanona opticamente ativa. Com base no conhecimento da configuração deste último composto, foi possível esclarecer o mecanismo da indução assimétrica.

A integração de sistemas é um tema sempre actual na temática das tecnologias de informação. Desde há muito tempo que as grandes empresas identificaram a necessidade de integrar dados de diferentes sistemas, criando mais valor para os seus negócios. Alguns sectores da indústria estão claramente mais avançados do que outros no que diz respeito à integração de sistemas. Alguns factores, como a concorrência e competitividade mais agressiva em alguns mercados, foram os catalisadores desses avanços tecnológicos. A indústria da saúde não foi, infelizmente, um dos sectores onde se registaram grandes avanços na integração de sistemas. Foi, no entanto, onde se registou uma explosão de normas e protocolos que suportam as diversas disciplinas da medicina, como por ex, a Radiologia. Essas normas e protocolos permitiram dotar a medicina de meios mais rigorosos de produzir diagnósticos e encontrar curas para as mais diversas patologias. Existem muitos produtos que adoptam estas normas. As organizações foram, progressivamente, adquirindo esses produtos mas sem grande preocupação da eventual necessidade da integração. A disciplina da Radiologia é uma das disciplinas onde se verifica, ainda hoje, uma enorme diversidade de equipamentos e sistemas de informação mas onde se encontra desafios consideráveis no que diz respeito à integração. Foram esses desafios que despoletaram o interesse de investigação e cujos resultados se partilham nesta dissertação.

Os avanços técnológicos da última década permitiram um crescimento nas aplicações militares de veículos autónomos. Com o objetivo de explorar o seu potêncial na vigilância de instalações militares, a Academia Militar encomendou o desenvolvimento e construção de um protótipo funcional de um veículo autónomo. Nesta dissertação os sistemas de tração, travagem e direção desse protótipo são abordados. A literatura atual foca-se em aplicações comerciais de veículos rodoviários, onde a autonomia é o principal problema. No entanto, equipas não profissionais lidam antes disso com dificuldades em capturar uma visão clara do projecto e fracos procedimentos de segurança. Uma moto-quatro com um módulo de baterias elétricas e atuadores embarcados para os sistemas da tração, travagem e direção, assim como os mecanismos de controlo e interface, é aqui proposta e avaliada, numa abordagem focada na flexibilidade de desenho e na segurança dos utilizadores. As limitações da solução proposta são identificadas e são propostas correções.

Estudo sobre as metodologias de comunicação nas propostas de desenvolvimento comunitário. Com base em pesquisa bibliográfica o trabalho objetivou evidenciar os aspectos explícitos e implícitos da comunicação presentes nas metodologias de desenvolvimento de comunidade publicadas no Brasil. Para tal, foi realizada ampla revisão da literatura sobre os conceitos de comunidade, desenvolvimento, pobreza e participação, metodologias de desenvolvimento de comunidade, comunicação para o desenvolvimento e comunicação para a mudança social. Ao final, a pesquisa evidenciou que os conceitos de desenvolvimento e de participação invariavelmente constituem o fundamento a partir dos quais se erigem tanto projetos de desenvolvimento comunitário como de comunicação para o desenvolvimento/mudança social. Um modelo de desenvolvimento necessariamente leva a um modelo de participação, e viceversa, que, em projetos de melhoria das condições de vida comunitária se constituem como elementos catalisadores das demais instâncias do trabalho. Ambas propostas apresentam muitos pontos em comum e diversos espaços para contribuições recíprocas.(AU)

The mesoporous materials has been an special attention, among them was discovered in the 1990´s the mesoporous molecular sieve of SBA-15 type. The good features of the SBA- 15 makes this material very promising in catalysis, however, due to the absence of native active sites, it has low catalytic activity. In this way, different metals and oxides have been included in this molecular sieve as a means of introducing active sites and increase its catalytic activity. Among the oxides that are being researched, there is the niobium oxide, which presents strong acid sites and exists in abundance. Brazil is the largest producer of the mineral. On the other hand, the production of biofuels has been desired, but it requires the development of new catalysts for this purpose. The aim of this work was to develop silicate of niobium by impregnation and by new synthesis method for application in the cracking of moringa oil. The methodology consisted of inserting the niobium oxide either by postsynthesis process using wet impregnation and direct insertion. For direct insert a new method was developed for pH adjustment, being tested different pH, and the pH 2.2 was used different ratios of Si/Nb. The materials were characterized by different techniques such as: XRD, N2 adsorption, SEM, EDS, UV-visible, TG/DTG, DSC, TEM, acidity by thermodesorption of n-butilamine and FTIR. After this part of the catalysts developed by the two methods were tested in the thermocatalytic cracking of moringa oil, being used a simple distillation. All silicates of Niobium obtained showed a highly ordered structure, having high specific areas, good distribution of pore diameters, beyond present a morphology in the form of fibers. In the catalysts after synthesis was observed that the niobium inserted has so as octahedrally and tetrahedrally coordinated, demonstrating that there were also oxides formed on the external surface of SBA-15. The materials obtained in the direct synthesis are only tetrahedrally coordinated. The new synthesis method of pH adjusting by using the buffer solution for it, proved to be very efficient for the production of such materials, because the materials obtained showed characteristics and structures similar to the molecular sieve of SBA-15 type. Among the pH tested the material that presented better characteristics was synthesized at pH 2.2. The application of these materials in catalytic cracking showed a higher formation of organic liquids when compared to thermal cracking, in addition to significantly reducing the acidity and residues formed, demonstrating that the use of silicates of Niobium increases both the conversion and the selectivity of the products.

Stimulus encouraging the production and consumption of biodiesel favors the policy of pre-serving the environment, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas reducing climate change. The current trend of research in this field focuses on improving these processes with the use of heterogeneous catalysts, seeing has significant advantages such as: low contamination of products, ease of separation of the catalyst from the reaction medium, possibili-ty of reuse of the catalyst, decreased corrosion problems. The objective of this research was to optimize the synthesis of AlSBA-15 for the production of biodiesel through transesterification process via ethyl route. For the optimization of hydrothermal synthesis of type AlSBA-15 catalyst has assembled a 23 factorial experimental matrix with eleven trials. The stoichiometric amounts of starting materials were varied according to different ratios Si / Al which is a factor in the experimental design, in addition to the time and temperature of aging of the synthesis gel. The material showed the best results of characterization (SBET = 591.7 (m2 / g), Vp = 0.83 (cm3 / g), Dp = 5.59 (nm), w = 6.48 (nm) was synthesized at 100 ° C for 24 hours, with a ratio Si / Al = 10.This material was applied as a heterogeneous catalyst in the reaction of ethyl transesterification as raw coconut oil in natura. Coconut oil presented suitable for obtaining biodiesel via ethyl route.The visual aspects and physical-chemical characteristics of the reaction products show that AlSBA-15 catalyst favored the reaction. According to physical-chemical analysis the order of oxidative stability of the product of the transesterification reaction was: catalytic reaction at 1500 ° C> non-catalytic reaction at 100 ° C> 100 ° C catalytic> catalytic reaction at 200 ° C Reaction. The results of oxidative stability and kinematic viscosity shows that the biodiesel produced in the catalytic sandblasting held at 150 ° C which was maintained within the ABNT NBR 7148, ABNT NBR 10441 and EN 14112.

This thesis is part of research on new materials for catalysis and gas sensors more active, sensitive, selective. The aim of this thesis was to develop and characterize cobalt ferrite in different morphologies, in order to study their influence on the electrical response and the catalytic activity, and to hierarchize these grains for greater diffusivity of gas in the material. The powders were produced via hydrothermal and solvothermal, and were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (electron diffraction, highresolution simulations), and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The catalytic and electrical properties were tested in the presence of CO and NO2 gases, the latter in different concentrations (1-100 ppm) and at different temperatures (room temperature to 350 ° C). Nanooctahedra with an average size of 20 nm were obtained by hydrothermal route. It has been determined that the shape of the grains is mainly linked to the nature of the precipitating agent and the presence of OH ions in the reaction medium. By solvothermal method CoFe2O4 spherical powders were prepared with grain size of 8 and 20 nm. CoFe2O4 powders exhibit a strong response to small amounts of NO2 (10 ppm to 200 ° C). The nanooctahedra have greater sensitivity than the spherical grains of the same size, and have smaller response time and shorter recovery times. These results were confirmed by modeling the kinetics of response and recovery of the sensor. Initial tests of catalytic activity in the oxidation of CO between temperatures of 100 °C and 350 °C show that the size effect is predominant in relation the effect of the form with respect to the conversion of the reaction. The morphology of the grains influence the rate of reaction. A higher reaction rate is obtained in the presence of nanooctahedra. In order to improve the detection and catalytic properties of the material, we have developed a methodology for hierarchizing grains which involves the use of carbonbased templates.

Environmental liabilities from accidents in the retail petroleum industry, especially in urban areas, have represented a serious problem whose impact reaches the underground, people's health and even economic losses with the remediation process. In U.S.A. are estimated hundreds of billions of dollars invested in soil remediation processes. The results of the reports and investigative reports of liabilities in fuel stations distributed in the urban area of Natal-RN were used to estimate the local scenario of contamination. This database has been possible to determine the main contaminants (BTEX, PAHs, TOC), affected neighborhoods and types of potentially more impacted soils. Experiments were carried out in order to reverse contamination of this scenario, where the soil type was a factor in the planning, because it influences directly on the effectiveness of remediation techniques studied: Oxidation by hydrogen peroxide and oxidation by sodium persulphate. These oxidants are activated forming free radicals (HO•-, SO4 •-, HO2 • , O2 •-, S2O8 -2, etc) responsible for to mineralize the hydrocarbons and other organic compounds (releasing O2 e CO2). In the activation process, the ferrous ions (II) and ferric (III) were studied as well as hydrogen peroxide activation technique with sodium persulfate, the latter being presented the best efficiency among all the study, when activated with Fe+3. In addition to defining the most efficient technique, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different soils among oxidative techniques, characterizing the effect of the concentration of these oxidants and also the concentration of the catalysts. Exists in most scenarios evaluated the presence of intrinsic total iron soil matrix. The so-called latosols present microaggregates reddish indicating the presence of these reactive species like iron and clayey aspect. The kinetic study was conducted by experimental design and monitoring of the percentage of total carbon (SSM-5000A) in the solid and liquid phases, knowing that 82.4% of the diesel molecule is carbon. Yet organic carbon and pH of liquid samples were analyzed for technical, characterizing the influence of soil type and its operating condition. The Fenton-like technique H2O2 e Fe+2 presented satisfactory oxidation, including sandy soil, but well below the best result. The sodium persulphate only activated with temperature, even in the most favorable soil, did not provide good efficiency. The best technique in the study had the concentration profile with 2,2x10- 1mol.L-1 of Na2S2O8 activated with 6,53x10-1mol.L-1 of H2O2 and 2,5x10-2 Fe3+mol.L-1 which reduced in less than a day 96 contamination in red soil, initially with 66,667 mg of diesel per kg of clean soil

Sulfur compounds emissions have been, on the late years, subject to more severe environmental laws due to its impact on the environment (causing the acid rain phenomena) and on human health. It has also been object of much attention from the refiners worldwide due to its relationship with equipment’s life, which is decreased by corrosion, and also with products’ quality, as the later may have its color, smell and stability altered by the presence of such compounds. Sulfur removal can be carried out by hydrotreating (HDT) which is a catalytic process. Catalysts for HDS are traditionally based on Co(Ni)-Mo(W)/Al2O3. However, in face of the increased contaminants’ content on crude oil, and stricter legislation on emissions, the development of new, more active and efficient catalysts is pressing. Carbides of refractory material have been identified as potential materials for this use. The addition of a second metal to carbides may enhance catalytic activities by increasing the density of active sites. In the present thesis Mo2C with Co addition was produced in a fixed bed reactor via gas-solid reaction of CH4 (5%) and H2(95%) with a precursor made of a mix of ammonium heptamolybdate [(NH4)6[Mo7O24].4H2O] and cobalt nitrate[Co(NO3)2.6H2O] at stoichiometric amounts. Precursors’ where analyzed by XRF, XRD, SEM and TG/DTA. Carboreduction reactions were carried out at 700 and 750°C with two cobalt compositions (2,5 and 5%). Reaction’s products were characterized by XRF, XRD, SEM, TOC, BET and laser granulometry. It was possible to obtain Mo2C with 2,5 and 5% cobalt addition as a single phase at 750°C with nanoscale crystallite sizes. At 700°C, however, both MoO2 and Mo2C phases were found by XRD. No Co containing phases were found by XRD. XRF, however, confirmed the intended Co content added. SEM images confirmed XRD data. The increase on Co content promoted a more severe agglomeration of the produced powder. The same effect was noted when the reaction temperature was increased. The powder synthesized at 750°C with 2,5% Co addition TOC analysis indicated the complete conversion from oxide material to carbide, with a 8,9% free carbon production. The powder produced at this temperature with 5% Co addition was only partially converted (86%)
