Is the planet full? by Ian Goldin (Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2014), pp. 272.

The question ‘is the planet full?’ is not new but it needs a critical assessment to provide a good answer. Obviously, the capacity of the planet should be evaluated in relation to the size and distribution of its human population and how relevant resources of the planet are used and managed. When we are discussing human population and resource management, multidimensional issues such as welfare, technologies and social changes are essential...

Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 272]

O Substitutivo nº 2 estabelece que as jazidas e recursos minerais sejam bens da União. O aproveitamento, a lavra e a pesquisa dos minérios somente poderão ser realizados por empresas nacionais com concessão do Governo Federal. A Deputada Raquel Cândido (DMDP-RO) defende que 50% da matéria-prima sejam industrializadas no local da jazida. Constituintes também reivindicam a promoção e desenvolvimento social dos garimpeiros. O Deputado Ademir Andrade (PMDB-PA) defende a criação de cooperativas no garimpo e a permanência dos garimpeiros nas jazidas onde já trabalham. A Comissão de Sistematização rejeita a proposta de pluralidade sindical. Aprovado o destaque do Deputado Geraldo Campos (PMDB-DF) que não permite a criação de mais de um sindicato por categoria profissional ou econômica na mesma base territorial. O Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) vota contrário ao destaque. O Deputado Luís Inácio Lula da Silva (PT-SP) propõe outro destaque mantendo a liberdade sindical. O PT também protesta contra o imposto sindical. O Deputado Geraldo Campos (PMDB-DF) defende, mais uma vez, a unicidade do sindicato. O Deputado José Genuíno (PT-SP) critica o destaque aprovado. O Deputado Vivaldo Barbosa (PDT-RJ) enfatiza que a aprovação do destaque é um avanço por desvincular os sindicatos ao Estado.

Kinetics of extraction and stripping of y(III) by Cyanex 272 as an acidic extractant using a constant interfacial cell with laminar flow

The extraction and stripping kinetics of yttrium(III) with bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272, HA) dissolved in heptane as an acid extractant have been investigated by constant interfacial cell with laminar flow. The experimental hydrodynamic conditions have been chosen so that the contribution of diffusion to the measured rate of reaction is minimized. The plot of interfacial area on the rate has shown a linear relationship, which makes the interface the most probable local for the chemical reactions. At the same time, the extraction thermodynamic and kinetic methods are compared to determine the equilibrium extraction constant. A rate equation and the rate-determining step of the extraction and stripping of yttrium(III) have also been obtained, respectively.

Kinetics of ytterbium(III) extraction with Cyanex 272 using a constant interfacial cell with laminar flow

Studies have been made on the kinetics of ytterbium(III) with bis-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272, HA) in n-heptane using a constant interfacial cell with laminar flow. The stiochiometry and the equilibrium constant of the extracted complex formation reaction between Yb3+ and Cyanex 272 are determined. The extraction rate is dependent of the stirring rate. This fact together with the Ea value suggests that the mass transfer process is a mixed chemical reaction-diffusion controlled at lower temperature, whereas it is entirely diffusion controlled at higher temperature. The rate equations for the ytterbium extraction with Cyanex 272 have been obtained. The rate-determining step is also made by predictions derived from interfacial reaction models, and through the approximate solutions of the flux equation, diffusion parameters and thickness of the diffusion film have been calculated.

Mass transfer kinetics of yttrium(III) using a constant interfacial cell with laminar flow. Part II. Extraction with Cyanex 272

The yttrium(III) extraction kinetics and mechanism with bis-(2,4,4-trimethyl-pentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272, HA) dissolved in heptane have been investigated by constant interfacial cell with laminar flow. The data has been analyzed in terms of pseudo-first order constants. Studies on the effects of stirring rate, temperature, acidity in aqueous phase, and extractant concentration on the extraction rate show that the extraction regime is dependent on the extraction conditions. The plot of interfacial area on the rate has shown a linear relationship. This fact together with the strong surface activity of Cyanex 272 at heptane-water interfaces has made the interface the most probable location for the chemical reactions. The forward, reverse rate equations and extraction rate constant for the yttrium extraction with Cyanex 272 have been obtained under the experimental conditions. The rate-determining step has been also predicted from interfacial reaction models. The predictions have been found to be in good agreement with the rate equations obtained from experimental data, confirming the basic assumption that the chemical reaction is located at the liquid-liquid interface.

Kinetics of Y(III) stripping for the system Y/HCl/Cyanex 272-P507/heptane with constant interfacial area cell with laminar flow

Kinetics and mechanism of stripping of yttrium(III) previously extracted by mixtures of bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272, HA), and 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexl ester (P507, HB) dissolved in heptane have been investigated by constant interfacial-area cell by laminar flow. The corresponding equilibrium stripping equation and equilibrium constant were obtained. The studies of effects of the stirring rate and temperature on the stripping rate show that the stripping regime is dependent on the stripping conditions. The plot of interfacial area on the rate has shown a linear relationship. This fact together with the strong surface activity of mixtures of Cyanex 272 and P507 at heptane-water interfaces makes the interface the most probable locale for the chemical reactions. The stripping rate constant is obtained, and the value is compared with that of the system with Cyanex 272 and P507 alone. It is concluded that the stripping ability with the mixtures is easier than that of P507 due to lower the activation energy of the mixtures. The stripping rate equation has also been obtained, and the rate-determining steps are the two-step interfacial chemical reactions as predicted from interfacial reaction models.
