Tratamento de cascalho de perfuração utilizando sistemas microemulsionados

The oil industry is one of the activities that generates more waste to the environment. The drill cuttings is a waste generated in large quantities in the drilling process and that may cause environmental damage such as soil contamination and consequently the contamination of groundwater if disposed of without prior treatment. Arises the need to develop scientific activities and research ways to adapt these wastes the current environmental standards. In the case of solid wastes, the NBR 10004: 2004 of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) classifies them into class I waste (hazardous) and class II (not dangerous), which determines which wastes may or may not be discarded in the environment without causing environmental impact. This study presents a novel alternative for treating drill cuttings, where this waste was classified as class I (Abreu & Souza, 2005), mainly by removing the n-paraffin present in it, since this arises when using drilling fluids base oil. Using microemulsion systems promotes the removal of this contaminant drill cuttings samples from wells located in Alto do Rodrigues - RN. Initially, we determined the concentration of paraffin using infrared method in samples were extracted with ultrasound, we obtained a paraffin concentration in the range from 36.59 to 43.52 g of paraffin per kilogram of cuttings. Used two microemulsion systems containing two nonionic surfactants from different classes, one is an alcohol ethoxylated (UNTL-90) and the other an nonylphenol ethoxylated (RNX 110). The results indicated that the system UNTL-90 surfactant has better efficiency than the system with RNX 110. The study of the influence of contact time at the extraction showed that for times greater than 25 minutes has a tendency to increase the percentage extraction with increasing contact time. It was also observed that the extraction is fast because at 1 minute contact has 22.7% extraction. The reuse of the microemulsion system without removing the paraffin extracted in previous steps, showed reduction of 29.32 in percentage of extraction by comparing the first and third extraction, but by comparing the first and second extractions reduction is 8.5 in percentage extraction, so the systems reuse optimization can be an option for economically viable removing paraffin from cuttings. The extraction with shaking is more effective in the treatment of cuttings, reaching the extraction percentage of 87.04%, that is, obtaining a drill cuttings with 0.551% paraffin. Using the percentage of paraffin employed in non-aqueous drilling fluids and fluid maximum limit on cuttings for disposal established by the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States (US EPA), one arrives at the conclusion that the level of paraffin on gravel cannot exceed 3.93%. Conclude that the amount of paraffin in the treated cuttings with the microemulsion system with shaking is below the established by US EPA, showing that the system used was efficient in removing the paraffin from the drill cuttings.

Extração, caracterização e avaliação bioativa do extrato de Arrabidaea chica

The use of plants for medicinal purposes is ancient, with widespread application in medicinal drugs. Although plants are promising sources for the discovery of new molecules of pharmacological interest, estimates show that only 17% of them have been studied for their possible use in medicine. Thus, biodiversity of Brazilian flora represents an immense potential for economic use by the pharmaceutical industry. The plant Arrabidaea chica, popularly known as “pariri”, is common in the Amazon region, and it is assigned several medicinal properties. The leaves of this plant are rich in anthocyanins, which are phenolic compounds with high antioxidant power. Antioxidant compounds play a vital role in the prevention of neurological and cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes, among others. Within the anthocyanins found in Arrabidaea chica, stands out Carajurin (6,7-dihydroxy-5,4’- dimethoxy-flavilium), which is the major pigment encountered in this plant. The present work aimed to study on supercritical extraction and conventional extraction (solid-liquid extraction) in leaves of Arrabidaea chica, evaluating the efficiency of the extractive processes, antioxidant activity and quantification of Carajurin contained in the extracts. Supercritical extraction used CO2 as solvent with addition of co-solvent (ethanol/water mixture) and were conducted by the dynamic method in a fixed bed extractor. The trials followed a 24-1 fractional factorial design, the dependent variables were: process yield, concentration of Carajurin and antioxidant activity; and independent variables were: pressure, temperature, concentration of co-solvent (v/v) and concentration of water in the co-solvent mixture (v/v). Yields (mass of dry extract/mass of raw material used) obtained from supercritical extraction ranged from 15.1% to 32%, and the best result was obtained at 250 bar and 40 °C, co-solvent concentration equal to 30% and concentration of water in the co-solvent mixture equal to 50%. Through statistical analysis, it was found that the concentration of co-solvent revealed significant effect on the yield. Yields obtained from conventional extractions were of 8.1% (water) and 5.5% (ethanol). Through HPLC (High-performance liquid chromatography) analysis, Carajurin was quantified in all the extracts and concentration values (Carajurin mass/mass of dry extract) ranged between 1% and 2.21% for supercritical extraction. For conventional extraction, Carajurin was not detected in the aqueous extract, while the ethanol extract showed Carajurin content of 7.04%, and therefore, more selective in Carajurin than the supercritical extraction. Evaluation of antioxidant power (radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl – DPPH – sequestration method) of the supercritical extracts resulted in EC50 values (effective concentration which neutralizes 50% of free radicals) ranged from 38.34 to 86.13 μg/mL, while conventional extraction resulted in EC50 values of 167.34 (water) and 42.58 (ethanol) μg/mL. As for the quantification of total phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteau analysis) of the supercritical extracts resulted in values ranged from 48.93 and 88.62 mg GAE/g extract (GAE = Gallic Acid Equivalents), while solid-liquid extraction resulted in values of 37.63 (water) and 80.54 (ethanol) mg GAE/g extract. The good antioxidant activity cannot be attributed solely to the presence of Carajurin, but also the existence of other compounds and antioxidants in Arrabidaea chica. By optimizing the experimental design, it was possible to identify the experiment that presented the best result considering the four dependent variables together. This experiment was performed under the following conditions: pressure of 200 bar, temperature of 40 °C, co-solvent concentration equal to 30% and concentration of water in the co-solvent mixture equal to 30%. It is concluded that, within the studied range, it is possible to purchase the optimum result using milder operating conditions, which implies lower costs and greater ease of operation.

Efeito da concentração de sólidos e de variáveis operacionais no desempenho de um hidrociclone concentrador

The hydrocycloning operation has a goal to separate solid-liquid suspensions and liquid-liquid emulsions through the centrifugal force action. Hydrocyclones are equipment with reduced size and used in both clarification and thickening. This device is used in many areas, like petrochemical and minerals process, and accumulate advantages like versatility and low cost of maintenance. However, the demand to improve the process and to reduce the costs has motivated several studies of equipment optimization. The filtering hydrocyclone is a non-conventional equipment developed at FEQUI/UFU with objective to improve the hydrocycloning separation efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the operating conditions of feed concentration and underflow diameter on the performance of a filtering geometry optimized to minimization of energy costs. The filtration effect was investigated through the comparison between the performance of the Optimized Filtering Hydrocyclone (HCOF) and the Optimized Concentrator Hydrocyclone (HCO). Because of the resemblance of hydrocyclones performance, the filtration did not represent significant effect on the performance of the HCOF. It was found that in this geometry the decrease of the variable underflow diameter was very favorable to thickening operation. The suspension concentration of quartzite at 1.0% of solids in volume was increased about 42 times when the 3 mm underflow diameter was used. The increase on the feed solid percentage was good for decreasing the energy spent, so that a minimum number of Euler of 730 was achieved at CVA = 10.0%v. However, a greater amount of solids in suspension leads to a lower efficiency of the equipment. Therefore, to minimize the underflow-to-throughput ratio and keep a high efficiency level, it is indicated to work with dilute suspension (CVA = 1.0%) and 3 mm underflow diameter (η = 67%). But if it is necessary to work with high feed concentration, the use of 5 mm underflow diameter provides a rise in the efficiency. The HCO hydrocyclone was compared to the traditional family of hydrocyclones Rietema and presented advantages like higher efficiency (34% higher in average) and lower energy costs (20% lower in average). Finally, the efficiency curves and project equation have been raised for the HCO hydrocyclone each with satisfactory adjust.

Prospeção de compostos bioativos nas macroalgas Himanthalia elongata, Laminaria ochroleuca e Undaria pinnatifida

O presente trabalho teve como principal objetivo caracterizar os metabolitos secundários, compostos lipofílicos e compostos mais polares, de três macroalgas existentes na costa portuguesa, nomeadamente da H. elongata, L. ochroleuca e U. pinnatifida, de forma a contribuir para a sua valorização. Foram realizadas extrações Soxhlet com diclorometano para extrair os compostos lipofílicos, enquanto as frações mais polares foram obtidas por extrações convencionais sólido-líquido, usando diferentes misturas de solventes (acetona:H2O e metanol:H2O:AcOH). Os extratos foram analisados por GC-MS e HPLC-MS. Os extratos polares foram ainda avaliados quanto à sua atividade antioxidante e quanto ao teor de fenóis totais (método de Folin-Ciocâlteau) e florotaninos (método DMBA). A fração lipofílica das três macroalgas estudadas é composta principalmente por ácidos gordos, álcoois alifáticos de cadeia longa e esteróis. O ácido hexadecanóico mostrou ser o composto maioritário das três espécies de algas, seguido dos ácidos octadeca-9-enóico e tetradecanóico. O fucosterol foi o esterol mais abundante encontrado para a H. elongata, enquanto que na L. ochroleuca e na U. pinnatifida foi o 24-metilenocolesterol. Os extratos polares obtidos a partir das duas metodologias de extração apresentaram rendimentos de extração elevados, tendo os extratos acetona:H2O apresentado rendimentos de extração superiores (88.73-92.33 %). Estes extratos mostraram ainda teores de fenóis e florotaninos totais mais elevados, com valores entre 524.03-635.69 g EAG/kg de peso seco e 1.48-1.55 g EFG/kg de peso seco, respetivamente. Os extratos de acetona:H2O no ensaio DPPH apresentaram valores de IC50 entre 6.57-7.64 μg/mL. Estes valores, apesar de serem inferiores ao IC50 do ácido ascórbico, são superiores ao determinado para o antioxidante sintético butil-hidroxitolueno (BHT). O extrato da acetona:H2O da L. ochroleuca foi o que apresentou melhor atividade antioxidante, com um IC50 de 6.57 ± 0.71 μg/mL. A análise por HPLC-DAD-MSn não permitiu até ao momento detetar compostos fenólicos nos extratos obtidos. Estes resultados são uma contribuição relevante para a valorização destas espécies de macroalgas como fonte de fitoquímicos valiosos.

Validação de metodologia analítica por CLAE-DAD para determinação de compostos fenólicos e atividade biológica em coprodutos agroindustriais

The southern region of Brazil, especially the states of Parana and Santa Catarina stand out for growing grapes and apples for fresh consumption and in order to add value to these products, process the material for the production of wine, juices and jellies . As a result large quantities of by-products, such as peels, seeds and pulp are produced becoming environmental problems. Studies reuse of these by-products have attracted interest because they have shown a high biological potential, due to the presence of high levels of phenolic compounds, which are associated with a lower incidence of disease caused by oxidative stress, due to its antioxidant, antiinflammatory and antibacterial properties. Currently, few studies are presented on the phenolic composition and biological potential of waste grape variety Bordô (Vitis labrusca) and apple (Malus domestica) Gala variety, cultivated in southern Brazil. Within this context, the objectives of this study were: compare the efficiency of solidliquid and liquid-liquid extraction, perform the optimization and validation of analytical methodology by HPLC-DAD for the separation, identification and quantification of multiclass phenolic compounds, evaluate the activity antioxidant by sequestering methods of free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1 picrilhidrazina (DPPH) and 2,2-azino-bis (3- ethyl-benzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) solution, reduction of Fe3+ in Fe2+ method (FRAP), ORAC, RP-HPLC-ABTS online, Rancimat and determination of total phenolics three agro-industrial byproducts, pomace and stems grape Bordô produced in Paraná Southwest region and Gala apple pomace coming from the Santa Catarina West. Optimization and validation of chromatographic method showed satisfactory quality parameters for the compounds of interest and the solidliquid extraction was more efficient in extracting phenolic evaluated. The three byproducts evaluated showed significant levels of phenolic compounds when analyzed by HPLC, especially flavonoids, catechin and epicatechin besides that showed significant antioxidant capacity. The grape stems extract had the highest sequestration capacity of DPPH and ABTS radical and reduced iron, and high content of phenolic compounds. The apple pomace extract showed the best response to the Rancimat method, which indicates a high potential to protect the oil from lipid oxidation, was no significant difference when compared to synthetic antioxidant TBHQ. The results of this study showed that the agro-industrial coproducts analyzed are rich in phenolic compounds of high antioxidant capacity and therefore must be better explored by the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Otimização da extração de ergosterol assistida por microondas a partir de Agaricus bisporus L., aplicando a técnica estatística de superfície e resposta combinada com a técnica de HPLC-UV

O aumento de consumo de cogumelos tem-se verificado em todo o mundo, não só pelo seu valor nutricional, sabor apurado e textura, mas também pelas suas propriedades medicinais. Existem vários estudos científicos que descrevem os benefícios do consumo de cogumelos, que advêm da sua riqueza em compostos bioativos, tais como micosteróis, em particular, ergosterol. Agaricus bisporus L. é o cogumelo mais consumido em todo o mundo, sendo a sua fração de esteróis constituída essencialmente por ergosterol (90%) [1], tornando a sua extração um tópico de elevado interesse já que esta molécula apresenta elevado valor comercial e inúmeras aplicações nas indústrias alimentar, farmacêutica e cosmética. Segundo a literatura, o teor de ergosterol pode variar entre 3 e 9 mg por g de cogumelo seco. Atualmente, os métodos tradicionais tais como a maceração e a extração em Soxhlet estão a ser substituídos por metodologias emergentes, nomeadamente a extração assistida por microondas, visando diminuir a quantidade de solvente utilizado e o tempo de extração e, naturalmente, aumentar o rendimento da mesma. No presente trabalho, utilizou-se A. bisporus como fonte de ergosterol, tendo-se otimizado as seguintes variáveis relevantes para a sua extração pela tecnologia de microondas (MAE): tempo (0-20 min), temperatura (60-210 ºC) e razão sólido-líquido (1-20 g/L). O solvente utilizado foi o etanol tendo-se aplicado a técnica estatística de superfície de resposta por forma a gerar modelos matemáticos que permitissem maximizar a resposta e otimizar as variáveis que afetam a extração de ergosterol. O conteúdo em ergosterol foi monitorizado por HPLC-UV. Os resultados demonstraram que a técnica MAE é promissora para a extração de ergosterol, tendo-se obtido, para as condições ótimas (20,4 min, 121,5ºC e 1,6 g/L), 569,4 mg ergosterol/100 g de massa seca, valor similar ao obtido com extração convencional por Soxhlet (671,5±0,5 mg/100 g de massa seca). Em síntese, a extração assistida por microondas demonstrou ser uma tecnologia eficiente para maximizar o rendimento de extração em ergosterol.

Estudo da perda de carga e calor no poço injetor no processo De drenagem gravitacional assistida por vapor (SAGD)

The oil companies in the area in general are looking for new technologies that can increase the recovery factor of oil contained in reservoirs. These investments are mainly aimed at reducing the costs of projects which are high. Steam injection is one of these special methods of recovery in which steam is injected into the reservoir in order to reduce the viscosity of the oil and make it more mobile. The process assisted gravity drainage steam (SAGD) using steam injection in its mechanism, as well as two parallel horizontal wells. In this process steam is injected through the horizontal injection well, then a vapor chamber is formed by heating the oil in the reservoir and, by the action of gravitational forces, this oil is drained down to where the production well. This study aims to analyze the influence of pressure drop and heat along the injection well in the SAGD process. Numerical simulations were performed using the thermal simulator STARS of CMG (Computer Modeling Group). The parameters studied were the thermal conductivity of the formation, the flow of steam injection, the inner diameter of the column, the steam quality and temperature. A factorial design was used to verify the influence of the parameters studied in the recovery factor. We also analyzed different injection flow rates for the model with pressure drop and no pressure drop, as well as different maximum flow rates of oil production. Finally, we performed an economic analysis of the two models in order to check the profitability of the projects studied. The results showed that the pressure drop in injection well have a significant influence on the SAGD process.

Modelagem e simulação de um reator trickle-bed para hidrogenação de propeno

Neste trabalho foi modelado um reator catalítico heterogêneo, pressurizado, adiabático e provido de reciclo. O leito deste reator está dividido em duas partes, sendo que a primeira opera como um reator trickle-bed, enquanto a segunda opera como um reator de leito fixo, onde os regentes estão em fase líquida. Um Sistema de Hidrogenação de Propeno em operação no Pólo Petroquímico do Sul foi utilizado para fornecer os dados necessários à validação do modelo proposto. Neste sistema, a reação de hidrogenação de propeno, em fase líquida, ocorre sobre um catalisador níquel/óxido de níquel. Uma equação, que representa a taxa da reação no intervalo de temperatura de interesse para o sistema, foi desenvolvida utilizando-se dados experimentais obtidos em um reator batelada. O comportamento termodinâmico foi representado através de dados de equilíbrio do sistema binário hidrogênio-propano. Considerou-se que a fase líquida escoa em plug-flow e a fase gasosa, devido à existência de um selo líquido no interior do reator, foi considerada estagnada.

Simulação de reatores de polimerização de estireno : modelagem cinética e termodinâmica

Nesse trabalho, é proposto um modelo fenomenológico para a polimerização de estireno em solução, validado com dados de uma planta industrial. Um modelo matemático para a polimerização do estireno via radicais livres é desenvolvido para predizer o comportamento estacionário e dinâmico do processo contínuo de produção de poliestireno. O modelo inclui a cinética de polimerização, em dois reatores CSTR auto-refrigerados em série, o equilíbrio líquido-vapor na seção de reação e as propriedades do produto final. Os resultados obtidos através do modelo desenvolvido são utilizados para determinar quais são os efeitos da composição de alimentação, temperatura e concentração do iniciador na conversão do monômero, massas molares, polidispersão, formação de dímeros e trímeros, densidade, viscosidade, índice de fluidez, propriedades térmicas e tensão de ruptura. Para o equilíbrio líquido-vapor, um modelo termodinâmico também foi desenvolvido para reatores auto-refrigerados, que usam o calor de evaporação para remover o calor gerado por reações químicas fortemente exotérmicas, e modelado através de uma equação cúbica de estado e uma regra de mistura aplicada ao equilíbrio líquido-vapor a baixas pressões para soluções poliméricas através do emprego de um único parâmetro de interação. O modelo desenvolvido pode ser utilizado para avaliação de estruturas de controle, simulação e otimização do processo de polimerização do estireno.

Determinação de dados de equilíbrio líquido-vapor a altas pressões para sistemas de hidrocarbonetos assimétricos

Crude oil is a complex liquid mixture of organic and inorganic compounds that are dominated by hydrocarbons. It is a mixture of alkanes from the simplest to more complex aromatic compounds that are present derivatives such as gasoline, diesel, alcohol, kerosene, naphtha, etc.. These derivatives are extracted from any oil, however, only with a very high quality, in other words, when the content of hydrocarbons of low molecular weight is high means that production of these compounds is feasible. The American Petroleum Institute (API) developed a classification system for the various types of oil. In Brazil, the quality of most of the oil taken from wells is very low, so it is necessary to generate new technology to develop best practices for refining in order to produce petroleum products of higher commercial value. Therefore, it is necessary to study the thermodynamic equilibrium properties of its derivative compounds of interest. This dissertation aims to determine vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for the systems Phenilcyclohexane - CO2, and Cyclohexane - Phenilcyclohexane - CO2 at high pressure and temperatures between 30 to 70oC. Furthermore, comparisons between measured VLE experimental data from this work and from the literature in relation to the Peng- Robinson molecular thermodynamic model, using a simulation program SPECS IVCSEP v5.60 and two adjustable interaction parameters, have been performed for modeling and simulation purposes. Finally, the developed apparatus for determination of phase equilibrium data at high pressures is presented

Equilíbrio líquido-líquido de sistemas aquosos com tensoativos polietoxilados: dados experimentais e modelagem

The nonionic surfactants when in aqueous solution, have the property of separating into two phases, one called diluted phase, with low concentration of surfactant, and the other one rich in surfactants called coacervate. The application of this kind of surfactant in extraction processes from aqueous solutions has been increasing over time, which implies the need for knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of these surfactants. In this study were determined the cloud point of polyethoxylated surfactants from nonilphenolpolietoxylated family (9,5 , 10 , 11, 12 and 13), the family from octilphenolpolietoxylated (10 e 11) and polyethoxylated lauryl alcohol (6 , 7, 8 and 9) varying the degree of ethoxylation. The method used to determine the cloud point was the observation of the turbidity of the solution heating to a ramp of 0.1 ° C / minute and for the pressure studies was used a cell high-pressure maximum ( 300 bar). Through the experimental data of the studied surfactants were used to the Flory - Huggins models, UNIQUAC and NRTL to describe the curves of cloud point, and it was studied the influence of NaCl concentration and pressure of the systems in the cloud point. This last parameter is important for the processes of oil recovery in which surfactant in solution are used in high pressures. While the effect of NaCl allows obtaining cloud points for temperatures closer to the room temperature, it is possible to use in processes without temperature control. The numerical method used to adjust the parameters was the Levenberg - Marquardt. For the model Flory- Huggins parameter settings were determined as enthalpy of the mixing, mixing entropy and the number of aggregations. For the UNIQUAC and NRTL models were adjusted interaction parameters aij using a quadratic dependence with temperature. The parameters obtained had good adjust to the experimental data RSMD < 0.3 %. The results showed that both, ethoxylation degree and pressure increase the cloudy points, whereas the NaCl decrease

Equilíbrio líquido-líquido dos sistemas biodiesel de castanha do Brasil + metanol + (glicerina ou água): determinação experimental e modelagem termodinâmica

O biodiesel é definido como sendo uma mistura de monoésteres de ácidos graxos derivados de gorduras animal ou óleos vegetais, obtido por meio do processo de transesterificação com alcoóis de cadeia curta. Durante a sua produção é utilizada uma quantidade em excesso de álcool e um catalisador para favorecer a reação de formação dos ésteres; desta forma a corrente de saída do reator contém o catalisador, o álcool que não reagiu e os produtos da transesterificação, biodiesel e glicerina, formando um sistema bifásico; dependendo do grau de solubilidade desses compostos, pode haver quantidades de biodiesel na fase rica em glicerina e quantidades de glicerina na fase rica em biodiesel. Durante o processo de purificação do biodiesel é necessário executar uma lavagem com água, para promover a retirada do catalisador e impurezas do produto de interesse. Devido à quantidade de compostos envolvidos na produção e purificação é essencial conhecer os dados de equilíbrio líquido-líquido para poder predizer as proporções em que os compostos coexistem e, posteriormente, proceder com a purificação sob condições adequadas para obtenção do biodiesel com maior rendimento e auxiliar no projeto do reator e sistemas de separação. Os objetivos desse trabalho foram produzir o biodiesel a partir de uma planta oleaginosa nativa da região, a castanha do Brasil (Bertholletia excelsa H. B. K.) e, determinar dados de equilíbrio líquido-líquido (ELL) para os sistemas ternários: biodiesel de castanha do Brasil + metanol + glicerina e biodiesel de castanha do Brasil + metanol + água nas temperaturas de 30°C e 50°C. O biodiesel produzido foi inicialmente caracterizado segundo as normas da Agência Nacional de Petróleo (ANP) utilizando métodos físico-químicos. Os dados obtidos foram posteriormente correlacionados com os modelos termodinâmicos NRTL e UNIQUAC para o calculo do coeficiente de atividade de cada componente na fase liquida, com estimativa de novos parâmetros de interação energética. Os resultados obtidos com a modelagem foram satisfatórios, e foi observado que o modelo NRTL representou melhor os dados experimentais.
