Aging heat treatments in maraging steels are fundamental to achieve the excellent mechanical properties required in several industries, i.e., nuclear, automotive, etc. In this research, samples of maraging 300 alloy were aged using a novel procedure that combines different steps with two atmospheres (nitrogen and water vapor) for several hours. The oxidized surface layer was chemical, microstructural and microm...
CO₂ adsorption on mesoporous silica modified with amine by double functionalization was studied. Adsorption microcalorimetry was used in order to investigate the influence of increasing the nitrogen surface density on double functionalized materials with respect to the only grafted materials. The distribution of sites and the rate-controlling mechanism of adsorption were evaluated. A Tian Calvet microcalorimete...
Hollow microspheres of silica were synthesized with different ethanol/water ratios (0.4, 1.0, 2.0 and 6.0) to assess the influence of this parameter on the morphology/porosity of the samples and thus on their water adsorption capacity. The samples were characterized by N2 at 77 K and CO2 at 273 K adsorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and water vapor isotherms at 29...
The anaerobic decomposition in landfills produces a gas mixture known as landfill biogas. This biogas consists mainly of CH4 and CO2. The CO2 removal can be carried out by means of adsorption. In order to promote CO2 removal, zeolite type 4A was used as solid adsorbent. The synthesized zeolite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. CH4/CO2 mixture isotherms were obtained in a m...
Coprecipitation is one of the most practical methods used to synthesize ferrite nanoparticles. Fine characteristics of these materials can be improved by means of a series of modifications in the synthesis method. In this paper we present a study of influence of glycerol as structure directing and stabilizing agent in the synthesis of zinc ferrite nanoparticle, exploring its chelating capacity and oxidation. Th...

In view of this, this study aimed to producing, during the heat treatment, an oxide film that behaves as ...
O aumento das emissões de dióxido de carbono é considerado o principal responsável pelo aquecimento global. Tecnologias que envolvem a captura do CO2, como a PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) vêm ganhando cada vez mais espaço em pesquisa e desenvolvimento como alternativa promissora para reduzir emissões desse gás na atmosfera, uma vez que são relativamente mais simples e apresentam consumo energético reduzido. O...
A adsorção de dióxido de carbono (CO2) em zeólitos peletizados,sem liganteecontendodiferentes cátions de compensação,foi estudada por manometria combinada com microcalorimetria de adsorção.

Os adsorventes foram caracterizados por isotermas de N2a 77 K, obtendo áreas superficiais de 652, 605 e 544 m2/g para NaX, LiX e NH4X, respectivamen...
A alta concentração de gases estufa na atmosfera, especialmente o CO2, e sua implicação nas mudanças climáticas tornaram-se um motivo de preocupação científica, política e social. Uma tecnologia que vem ganhando visibilidade mundialmente para redução das emissões de CO2 são os processos de captura de carbono em materiais adsorventes, tais como a PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption). Esta tecnologia tem demonstrado u...
Uma das tecnologias utilizadas na remoção de sulfeto de hidrogênio (H2S), gás tóxico e corrosivo, em processos da indústria química, como a produção de biogás, é a adsorção em carbonos ativados. Neste trabalho, avalia-se a capacidade de retenção de H2S por três carbonos ativados, sendo um deles a matriz base (AC) e os demais impregnados com Na2CO3 (AC-Na) e KOH (AC-K). Os adsorventes foram caracterizados atravé...
