O cerne do presente trabalho consistiu em aplicar ferramentas de análise exploratória multivariada objetivando avaliar o número de estações de monitoramento de qualidade da água e a frequência de amostragem. Para tal, utilizou-se banco de dados disponibilizado pelo Instituto Mineiro de Gestão das Águas (IGAM) referente à Bacia do Rio das Velhas, na região central mais populosa de Minas Gerais. Foram utilizadas ...
O principal objetivo desta pesquisa consistiu em desenvolver e aplicar um sistema de indicadores de desempenho direcionado a estações convencionais de tratamento de água com base na visão do prestador de serviço. A metodologia abrangeu três etapas principais: (i) definição dos indicadores e justificativa; (ii) formulação e aplicação do sistema de indicadores a um conjunto de cinco estações de pequeno porte (vaz...
The aim of this work was to synthesize polymeric microparticles as carriers for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK fertilizer) for agricultural applications, using polyglycerol (PG) to improve the synthesis procedure. Multivariate experimental designs were employed to obtain a satisfactory synthesis. The desirability function identified the best conditions for preparation of the microparticles as being 10...
There are not reports in the literature of digestion processes of metallic cation carrier microparticles. Multivariate experimental designs were utilized to ensure an appropriate digestion for further analysis by atomic absorption spectroscopy. It was used a heater plate and the polimeric degradation was evaluated utilizing an analyzer of total organic carbon (TOC). For the total carbon (TC) content, the full f...
A voltammetric procedure optimized by experimental design for glyphosate determination in soil, water and vegetable samples is described. The voltammetry experiments were performed using a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). The DPV variables involved in the optimization process were: voltage step, pulse amplitude, pulse interval, voltage step time and concentration of the supporting electrolyte. A full 25 f...
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; O propósito deste estudo foi fazer determinações potenciométricas simultâneas das espécies aniônicas cloreto, brometo, iodeto e nitrato. O interesse nessas determinações vem principalmente do fato de que estes constituem fortes interferentes entre si, comprometendo e dificultando a análise dos mesmos em efluentes industriais, águas naturais, dentre ...
Electrodegradation of atrazine in water was performed using homemade (PA and PB) and purchased (PC) boron-doped diamond anodes. The degradation was monitored off-line by analyzing total organic carbon and high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) and at-line by UV spectroscopy. The spectra were recorded every 2 min. The rank deficiency problem was resolved by assembling an augm...
Manganese recovery from industrial ore processing waste by means of leaching with sulfuric acid was the objective of this study. Experimental conditions were optimized by multivariate experimental design approaches. In order to study the factors affecting leaching, a screening step was used involving a full factorial design with central point for three variables in two levels (23). The three variables studied w...
Foi desenvolvida uma metodologia para quantificar compostos dialquilmercúricos usando Microextração em Fase Sólida em Headspace (HS-SPME) e Cromatografia Gasosa com Detecção por Emissão Atômica (GC-AED). Os parâmetros para detecção de Hg foram otimizados usando planejamento fatorial e superfícies de resposta. Experimentos univariados foram empregados para determinar as condições de HS-SPME; as melhores fibras f...
Contaminants of emerging concern are organic compounds used in large quantities by the society for various purposes. They have shown biological activity at lowconcentrations,which gives great environmental relevance. The difficulty to detect and quantify contaminants of emerging concern in the environment stimulates the development of appropriate analytical methods. In this work a chemometric approach to positi...
