Item Modificação de procedimento para extração de Boro em solos(RECIE, 2006-01) Reis, César; Reis, Efraim Lázaro; Silva, Claudinei Alves daExtração com água quente é o procedimento mais frequentemente usado na etapa inicial da determinação do boro disponível em solos. Por outro lado é um procedimento difícil de padronizar, consome tempo e a rotina usada é tediosa. Um procedimento de extração alternativo foi desenvolvido, consistindo na extração de boro com uma solução de sulfato de alumínio a 5 mmol L-1. O boro foi determinado através do método da azometina-H, que é o método espectrofotométrico mais comumente utilizado para determinação de boro. Boas correlações foram encontradas entre a extração de boro de um solo brasileiro com água quente e com solução de sulfato de alumínio.

F.; Cecon, Paulo R.; Pereira, José L.A study was performed to evaluate Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Ni and Zn accumulations in lettuce grown in an oxisol amended with composted urban solid wastes collected in Brazil from a big city (Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro State) and from a small city (Coimbra, Minas Gerais State). The compost samples were applied to the soil at increasing doses and different times of contact between compost and soil. The influence of the metals on the fresh and dry matter yield of leaves was also examined. Lettuce yield enhanced when the doses of the composts were increased and maximum yield was achieved in the cropping time between 15 and 20 days. The metal concentrations in the leaves augmented with the increase of the applied compost and with the increase of the time of contact between compost and soil. However, metal concentrations in the plant were below the maximum limits allowable by the food Brazilian legislation. The application of the compost from the smaller city resulted in increased lettuce productivity and lowest metal concentrations in the plants as compared to the results of the application of the compost from the bigger city.Item Avaliação de bis(4-metilfenilditiocarbimato)zincato(II) de tetrabutilamônio como acelerador em composições de borracha natural(Polímeros, 2008) Mariano, Roberta M.; Visconte, Leila L. Y.; Oliveira, Marcelo R. L.; Rubinger, Mayura M. M.Neste trabalho a substância ZNIBU [bis(4-metilfenilditiocarbimato)zincato(II) de tetrabutilamônio] foi usada em formulações de borracha natural (NR) e o seu efeito como acelerador de vulcanização foi investigado. As composições, vulcanizadas com a substância em questão, foram submetidas a testes mecânicos e os resultados comparados com os de outras composições vulcanizadas com os aceleradores comerciais CBS (N-ciclohexil-2-benzotiazol-2-sulfenamida), TMTD (dissulfeto de tetrametiltiuram) e MBTS (dissulfeto de benzotiazol). Propriedades como dureza, resiliência e densidade foram avaliadas em presença ou não da carga negro de fumo.Item Influência da adição de sacarose na estabilidade da polpa de bacuri conservada por métodos combinados(Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2006-07) Bezerra, Germania Almeida Souza; Maia, Geraldo Arraes; Figueiredo, Raimundo Wilane de; Souza Filho, Men de Sá Moreira de; Sousa, Paulo Henrique Machado deO estudo do processo de conservação da polpa de bacuri (Platonia insignis Mart.), através da aplicação da tecnologia de obstáculos, foi feito pela combinação dos seguintes fatores: adição de benzoato de sódio (1000 ppm) e metabissulfito de sódio (400 ppm), tratamento térmico (100oC/2 min.) e redução da atividade de água pela adição de sacarose (0, 17,4 e 28,6% (p/p)). A estabilidade dos produtos foi avaliada segundo suas características físico-químicas, microbiológicas e sensoriais, a cada 30 dias, durante quatro meses de armazenamento, à temperatura ambiente (25oC±2oC). As características físico-químicas dos produtos obtidos sofreram pouca alteração durante o armazenamento, sendo os teores de açúcares redutores e o teor de dióxido de enxofre as características mais afetadas nos três produtos. Os resultados mostraram que os tipos de obstáculos usados e sua intensidade foram capazes de assegurar a estabilidade microbiológica e uma boa aceitação sensorial dos produtos durante o período de armazenamento.Item Identification of acetates in Elasmopalpulus lignosellus pheromone glands using a newly created mass spectral database and kóvats retention indices(Química Nova, 2007-07) Jham, Gulab N.; Silva, Alexsandro A. da; Lima, Eraldo R.; Viana, Paulo A.Based on a specially created mass spectral database utilizing 23 tetradecenyl and 22 hexadecenyl acetate standards along with Kóvats retention indices obtained on a very polar stationary phase [poly (biscyanopropyl siloxane)] (SP 2340), (Z)-9-hexadecenyl acetate, (Z)-11-hexadecenyl acetate and (E)-8-hexadecenyl acetate were identified in active pheromone extracts of Elasmopalpus lignosellus. This identification was more efficient than our previous study using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with a dimethyl disulfide derivative where we could only identify the first two acetates. The acetate composition of the pheromone gland differed from region to region in Brazil and from that from the Tifton (GA, USA) population, suggesting polymorphism or a different sub-species.Item Comparison of GC and HPLC for quantification of organic acids in two jaboticaba (Myrciaria) fruit varieties(Química Nova, 2007) Jham, Gulab N.; Fernandes, Sergio A.; Garcia, Clerverson F.; Palmquist, DebraGas chromatography (GC) with trimethylsilyl derivative formation was compared to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for quantification of organic acids (OAs) in two jaboticaba (Myrciaria) fruit (pulp and pericarp) varieties (Sabará and Açu Paulista). Succinic and citric acids were the major OAs found in all the samples analyzed. Besides being much more tedious, the results obtained with GC were significantly lower than HPLC (p<0.05) when the data (acids, variety, two parts and flowering days) were considered together. The presence of both acids was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).Item Caracterização química do “pitch” em indústria de celulose e papel de Eucalyptus(Química Nova, 2006-05) Cruz, Mariluze P.; Barbosa, Luiz C. A.; Maltha, Célia R. A.; Gomide, José L.; Milanez, Augusto F.The chemical analysis of the acetone, chloroform, toluene and methanol extracts of a pitch sample was carried out by IR and GC-MS, leading to the identification of sixty nine compounds, including fatty acids, alcohols and hydrocarbons. Analysis of the acetone extractive of a eucalyptus wood used in Brazil for pulp production was also carried out, resulting in identification of fifty nine compounds, including mainly fatty acids, phenolic compounds, b-sitosterol and other steroids. This analysis showed that pitch formation had a contribution from wood extractives and other sources of contamination. The results obtained and the methodology applied can be used by the pulp industry to develop new methods of pitch control.Item Seasonal variation in the composition of volatile oils from Schinus terebinthifolius raddi(Química Nova, 2007) Barbosa, Luiz Cláudio Almeida; Demuner, Antônio Jacinto; Clemente, Alan Dumont; Paula, Vanderlúcia Fonseca de; Ismail, Faiz M. D.Essential oils from leaves, ripe and unripe fruits of Schinus terebinthifolius growing in Brazil were investigated. Oil content from either ripe or unripe fruits was similar (4.65% and 3.98%, respectively). Sesquiterpenes (from 78.0% to 90.4%) dominated the oil content of both leaves and unripe fruit. The essential oils were tested in vitro for their allelopathic activity on germination and radicle growth of Lactuca sativa and Cucumis sativus at 1,000 and 10,000 µg mL-1concentrations. The three samples tested were more active in inhibiting the radicle growth for L. sativa (88.6-92.4%) than for C. sativus (50.5-84.5%) at 10,000 µg mL-1 concentration.Item Fotocatálise heterogênea com TiO2 para oxidação de arsênio e sua remoção de águas por coprecipitação com sulfato férrico(Química Nova, 2009) Mendes, Gisele; Bellato, Carlos Roberto; Marques Neto, José de OliveiraThe oxidation of arsenic (As(III) to As(V)) in water samples was performed by heterogeneous photocatalysis using a TiO2 film immobilized inside a photochemical reactor. After oxidation, As(V) was removed from the water samples by coprecipitation with ferric sulfate. The final conditions of oxidation and arsenic removal (TiO2 film prepared with a suspension: 10% (w/v); pH: 7.0; oxidation time: 30 min and Fe3+ concentration: 50 mg L-1) were applied in natural water samples which were supplemented with 1.0 mg L-1 of As(III) to verify the influence of the matrix. After treatment, more than 99% of arsenic was removed from the water.Item Determinação da relação siringila/guaiacila da lignina em madeiras de eucalipto por pirólise acoplada à cromatografia gasosa e espectrometria de massas ( PI - CG/ EM)(Química Nova, 2008) Barbosa, Luiz C. A.; Maltha, Célia R. A.; Silva, Vanessa Lopes; Colodette, Jorge LuizThe use of analytical pyrolysis combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) to determine the syringyl/guaiacyl ratio (S/G) in lignins from Eucalyptus spp woods was investigated. Sample of E. grandis and "E. urograndis" wood, with and without extractives, were subjected to pyrolysis from 300 ºC to 600 ºC. The products that results from pyrolysis were identified by mass spectrometry and the S/G ratio was determined based on the areas of the peaks corresponding to the guaiacyl and syringyl derivatives. The best S/G estimation is achieved when pyrolysis is carried out at 550 ºC. Extractives and carbohydrate present in the woods do not interfere with the results.
