Full textMineral oil is a by-product derived from petroleum distillation, applicable in the areas of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food, used as food additive when in the proper grade of purity for this propose. However, it can also be considered a contaminant, especially important in sunflower oil, due to the episode of the 100.000 tons of highly contaminated Ukrainian sunflower oil. This experimental work aims at implementing a method for the determination of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons in sunflower oil by capillary gas chromatography with on column injection and FID detector. For such purpose parameters like linearity, working range, thresholds, precision, accuracy and robustness of the method were evaluated. The results show that the method is linear in the range between 15 and 60 mg.kg-1, with a repeatability limit of 6,11 mg.kg-1 and a variability of results obtained by this method of 0,48 mg.kg-1. The method allows to detect and quantify the analyte from 21 mg.kg-1 and 24 mg.kg-1, respectively. Considering the results obtained in recovery tests and Z-score of 0,5 and 0,04 obtained in inter-laboratory tests, the method is accurate. The robustness of this method is also verified, although it is sensible to the way the integration is performed

Full textConcretament, es pretén estudiar la desnitrificació i la decloració reductiva com a tecnologies de bioremediació per eliminar, respectivament, els nitrats i els hidrocarburs alifàtics clorats (o CAHs, de chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons) de les aigües subterrànies contaminades. A més, es pretén aplicar tecnologies avançades que permetin millorar en el coneixement d'aquests processos.
L'aqüífer associat a la riera d'Argentona, situat a Argentona (Espanya), ha estat la zona d'estudi per tal d'investigar el procés de desnitrificació. En primer lloc, s'han dut a terme experiments en batch amb aigua subterrània i sòl subsuperficial del mencionat aqüífer. A partir d'aquests primers estudis, s'ha observat la baixa capacitat de l'aqüífer per eliminar els nitrats de manera natural, però alhora s'ha vist la viabilitat d'aplicar un procés de bioremediació com és l'addició de matèria orgànica. Paral·lelament, s'ha estudiat la influència de diferents factors com ara la presència d'oxigen i la tipologia de donador d'electrons sobre el procés de desnitrificació.
Posteriorment, s'ha desenvolupat un model matemàtic per descriure el consum d'oxigen, de nitrats i de matèria orgànica per part de la població microbiana facultativa i heterotròfica present en el material d'aqüífer. Alguns paràmetres del model han estat calibrats i s'ha estudiat la qualitat d'aquests paràmetres. El model desenvolupat constitueix una primera aproximació per tal d'obtenir un model de desnitrificació in situ.
Per tal d'avançar en l'estudi del procés de desnitrificació en condicions naturals, s'han realitzat experiments en dinàmic simulant el flux d'aigua subterrània a través de l'aqüífer. L'eficiència d'injectar matèria orgànica en aquestes condicions s'ha demostrat.
Paral·lelament, s'han estudiat els efectes hidrodinàmics de l'aplicació de la bioremediació i, els resultats han demostrat la importància de dissenyar acuradament les tecnologies de bioremediació a escala de camp. Per altra banda, s'ha descrit la desnitrificació en condicions dinàmiques integrant en un model matemàtic les reaccions bioquímiques i els processos de transport que tenen lloc a la columna experimental.
Finalment, s'han aplicat les noves tecnologies de biologia molecular per entendre els efectes de l'aplicació d'un procés de bioremediació a nivell microbià. Per una banda, l'aplicació de la tècnica de la reacció en cadena de la polimerasa a temps real (o real-time PCR, de real-time polymerase chain reaction) ha demostrat el creixement de la població microbiana i, concretament, de la població desnitrificant en el material d'aqüífer estimulat. Per altra banda, l'electroforesi en gel de gradient desnaturalitzant (o DGGE, de denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) ha permès investigar els canvis en la població microbiana indígena del material d'aqüífer a causa de l'estimulació amb matèria orgànica.
Amb l'objectiu d'avançar en el coneixement dels processos de bioremediació en aigües subterrànies, s'ha estudiat també la decloració reductiva de CAHs. En aquest cas, s'han aplicat metodologies experimentals destinades a l'estudi de la posible aplicació d'una barrera reactiva permeable per eliminar una ploma que conté majoritàriament cis-1,2-dicloroetilè i clorur de vinil, i que flueix cap al riu Zenne, prop de la ciutat de Brussel·les (Bèlgica).
L'estudi ha inclòs experiments en batch per tal d'investigar el potencial degradatiu del material d'aqüífer i dels propis sediments del riu Zenne. Així mateix, també s'han dut a terme experiments en columna que simulaven el flux d'aigua subterrània a través dels sediments del riu o del material d'aqüífer. Els resultats han demostrat el gran potencial degradatiu dels sediments, que a la llarga es podrien potenciar com a biobarrera natural del sistema per tal de prevenir que les aigües contaminades arribin a l'aigua superficial del riu Zenne.
This thesis is based on the study of bioremediation processes as reliable technologies to remove contaminants from groundwater.
Specifically, it is aimed to study denitrification and reductive dechlorination as bioremediation technologies to remove nitrates and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs), respectively, from polluted groundwater. In addition, it is aimed to apply advanced technologies which allow improving on the knowledge of these processes.
The aquifer associated to the Stream Argentona, located in Argentona, Catalunya (Spain), was selected as study site to investigate the denitrification process. In the first part, microcosm experiments containing groundwater and subsoil from the aquifer were performed. From these first studies it was observed the low capacity of the aquifer to eliminate nitrates under natural conditions, but, at the same time, it was noted the feasibility of applying a bioremediation process such as the addition of organic matter. In addition, the influence of different factors such as the presence of oxygen and the type of electron donor on the denitrification process was studied.
Afterwards, a mathematical model was developed to explain the microbiological processes that occur when stimulating the aquifer material with an organic carbon source. The model could successfully explain the consumption of oxygen, nitrates and organic matter by the indigenous facultative heterotrophic microbial population from aquifer. Some parameters of the model were calibrated from experimental data and the quality of these parameters was investigated. The developed model constitutes a first approach in order to have reliable models for in situ denitrification.
In order to advance in the study of the denitrification process in natural conditions, dynamic experiments were carried out simulating the groundwater flow through the aquifer. The efficiency of injecting organic matter under these conditions was demonstrated. At the same time, hydrodynamic effects of the process were observed, indicating the importance to design properly bioremediation technologies before its application in field-scale. Furthermore, an integrated model coupling the biochemical reactions and the transport processes inside the column was developed and applied to describe denitrification under dynamic conditions.
Finally, molecular microbiological techniques were applied to investigate microbial changes due to the application of enhanced denitrification. On the one hand, real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) assays revealed the growth of microbial population, specially of denitrifying bacteria in aquifer material stimulated with an organic carbon source. On the other hand, the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) method allowed to investigate changes in the indigenous microbial community due to the amendment with organic matter.
In order to advance in the knowledge of bioremediation processes in groundwater, reductive dechlorination of CAHs in groundwater was studied. In this case, experiments at laboratory scale were applied, aimed to study the possible application of a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) to eliminate a CAH-contaminated plume, containing basically cis-1,2-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride, which flows to the River Zenne near Brussels, Belgium.
The study included batch experiments in order to investigate the degradation potential in aquifer and sediments of the River Zenne, as well as column experiments which simulated the groundwater flow through the sediments of the river or the aquifer material. The results demonstrated the high degradation potential of the sediments, which in the long term could be enhanced to act as a natural biobarrier of the system in order to prevent groundwater contaminants from arriving at the surface water of the River Zenne.

Full textDenna avhandling behandlar omvandling av en blandning av H2 och CO, även kallad syngas eller producentgas, till högre eller blandade alkoholer och andra bränslen genom en process som kallas Fischer Tropsch Synthesis (FTS). Det är en bra väg som minimerar beroendet av olja och liknande fossila bränslen som bidrar till snabba klimatförändringar genom att släppa ut skadliga växthusgaser. Syngasen som används i FTS erhålls generellt genom förgasning av biomassa för att göra hela processen förnybar och för att göra det resulterande bränslet kolneutralt. Produkterna är rena på grund av föregående rengöring av syngasblandningen för att avlägsna kväveoxider, svavel och annat partikelformigt material före processen och därigenom drastiskt minska utsläppen av avgaserna. Huvudsyftet med detta projekt är att utforma ett nytt katalysatorsystem och utsätta det för en serie experiment för att testa dess selektivitet gentemot alkoholer. Detta beror på att de nuvarande katalytiska systemen antingen är mycket dyra att montera eller ge ett lågt utbyte. Två koboltbaserade (Co) -baserade katalysatorer, en utan en promotor och den andra som befordras av zirkonium (Zr), framställs. Aktiviteten och selektiviteten hos Co-katalysatorer jämförs slutligen med de befintliga Swedish Biofuels AB: s Iron (Fe) -baserade katalysator som främjas av koppar (Cu) och krom (Cr) tillsammans med karaktärisering av de optimala reaktionsparametrarna som temperatur, tryck, GHSV och syngasförhållande för FTS. Vattenhaltig begynnande impregneringsmetod användes där den Co-aktiva metallen och Zr-promotorn (endast i den andra katalysatorn) införs stegvis på ett ϒ-aluminiumoxidstöd för att syntetisera katalysatorn, varefter den värmebehandlas genom torkning, kalcering och reduktion för att erhålla aktiv Co-metallkatalysator. En hög temperatur FTS användes för utbytet av alkoholer och andra bensinderivat enligt litteratur. Slutligen analyseras de flytande och gasformiga produkterna genom GC- eller GC / MS-analystekniker. Den outpromoterade Co-katalysatorns aktivitet betraktas som ett misslyckande på grund av tillfredsställande resultat. Det fanns några problem associerade med katalysatorn ensam som dålig mekanisk stabilitet som kunde tillskrivas användningen av ett felaktigt bindemedel. Andra problem inkluderade metanering på grund av variationer i slumpmässiga temperaturer och ineffektiv katalysatorreduktion. För den befordrade Co-katalysatorn var utbytet av alkoholer och kolväten betydligt högre än den opromoterade Co-katalysatorn. En optimal temperatur på 300 ° C, en GHSV på 360 h-1, ett tryck av 10 bar och ett H2: CO-förhållande på 1,3: 1 var de optimala bakgrundsbetingelserna för FTS. Högre temperatur orsakade metanering och reducerade sannolikhetsfaktorn för kedjan tillväxt, a, vilket resulterade i bildandet av endast lägre kolväten. Varje ökning av gasförhållandet och GHSV, ökade också metanbildningshastigheten och orsakade diffusionsbegränsningar. För en inställning i ett steg med reversering av avgaser var omvandlingsgraden för CO och H2 ganska lovande. Denna framgång kan tillskrivas en högre kalcineringstemperatur som ökade graden av reduktion av Co på grund av bildning av promotoroxider och därigenom möjliggör CO-hydrering och H2-införing. Det hjälpte också till att minska koldioxidbildningen. Även för Fe-katalysatorn föredrog man en låg temperatur, ett lågt GHSV och lågt syngasförhållande. Men till skillnad från Co-motsvarigheten gynnade ett högre tryck en ökning av utbytet av alkoholer och andra långkedjiga kolväten. Fe: s förmåga att stödja WGS-reaktion störde det molära förhållandet CO och frigav också mer CO2 som kan påverka hastigheten på syngasomvandlingen. Men i stort sett var Fe-katalysator mer effektiv än Cokatalysator för alkoholsyntes. Det totala utbytet av alkoholer var bara 5% av de flytande produkterna. Nästan 86% av alkoholfraktionen bestod av C1-, C2- och C3-alkoholer enbart och mycket få C4-, C5- och C6-alkoholer erhölls.

The waters of the Rio Negro, in the border city of Manaus, receives large amounts of domestic and industrial waste from its main tributaries (Tarumã-Acu, Sao Raimundo, Pupils and Puraquequara) that may be compromising their natural features (water, plants, sediments and etc.). Due the ability to accumulate organic and inorganic compounds, the bottom sediments are used to assess the contamination levels of aquatic environments. As a result, we determined the concentrations of aliphatic hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and potentially toxic metals (MPT) in ten samples of bottom sediments collected in March 2009 in the confluence between the Rio Negro and major watersheds the city of Manaus. The aim of study was to classify the origin and level of contamination of these compounds. In the determination of hydrocarbons, sediments were freeze dried, extracted with hexane, fractionated by open column liquid chromatography. The determination of aliphatic hydrocarbons was performed by GC-FID and the PAH by GC-MS. After digestion with aqua regia the MPT (Al, Fe, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cd and Mn) in total fraction of sediments were determined by ICP-OES. The results showed that concentrations of total aliphatic hydrocarbons were 13.4 to 448 mg g-1, and the sum of 38 PAHs was 58.8 to 6832 ng g-1. These values are considered high for natural aquatic environments that have not suffered oil spill accidents. Among the metals determined Al (32 091 mg kg-1) and Fe (35 474 mg kg-1) were those with the highest concentrations.The sediments that received the largest anthropogenic contribution were those collected at the entrance of the basin of the streams São Raimundo and Educandos. The diagnosis index hydrocarbons the origin of in sediments showed a predominance of mixed sources and petrogenic sources in most seasons
As águas do rio Negro na orla urbana de Manaus recebem grande quantidade de resíduos domésticos e industriais de seus principais afluentes (Tarumã-Açu, São Raimundo, Educandos e Puraquequara) que podem estar comprometendo suas características naturais (água, plantas, sedimentos e etc). Por ter a capacidade de acumular compostos orgânicos e inorgânicos, os sedimentos de fundo são utilizados na avaliação dos níveis de contaminação de ambientes aquáticos. Em virtude disso, foram determinados as concentrações de hidrocarbonetos alifáticos, hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos (HPA) e metais em dez amostras de sedimentos de fundo, coletadas em março de 2009 nas confluências entre o rio Negro e as principais bacias de drenagem da cidade de Manaus. O estudo tem o objetivo de classificar a origem e o nível de contaminação destes compostos. Nas determinações de hidrocarbonetos, os sedimentos foram liofilizados, extraídos em soxhlet, fracionados por cromatografia líquida de coluna aberta. A determinação de hidrocarbonetos alifáticos foi realizada por CG-DIC e os HPA por CG-EM. Apos digestão com água régia, os metais (Al, Fe, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb, V, Cd e Mn) presentes na fração total dos sedimentos foram determinados por ICP-OES. Os resultados mostraram que as concentrações dos hidrocarbonetos alifáticos totais foram de 13,4 a 448 μg g-1, e a somatória dos 38 HPA foi de 58,8 a 6832 ng g-1. Esses valores são considerados elevados para ambientes aquáticos naturais que não sofreram acidentes de derrame de óleo. Entre os metais determinados o Al (32091 mg kg-1) e o Fe (35474 mg kg-1) foram os que apresentaram as maiores concentrações. Os sedimentos que receberam a maior contribuição antrópica foram daqueles coletados na entrada da bacia dos igarapés São Raimundo e Educando. Os índices de diagnósticos da origem de ix hidrocarbonetos nos sedimentos mostraram predominância de fontes petrogênica e fontes mistas na maioria das estações.

Full textThe fate of most organic matter in the oceans is the marine sediment. This preserved organic matter became an unique reservoir of information about the operation of biogeochemical processes in the geological past, and how these processes responded to environmental changes. Some molecules are only synthesized by sea organisms, others only by higher plants. The relative abundance among these compounds in sea sediments can be used to determine the source of the organic matter. Other organic compounds, without natural sources, are an indicative of anthropogenic influence. The marine sediment also can accumulate compounds with the specific biological sources, which structures are influenced by the enzymatic control of the precursor organisms. All of these compounds, which can provide clear evidences of its sources or information about oceanographic conditions, are called biological markers or biomarkers. The present work put out an analytic method to identify and quantify biomarkers like aliphatic hydrocarbons, PAHs, sterols and alkenones with only one lipidic extraction. This method was evaluated by several analytic criteria and validated by reference material and by interlaboratory comparison study. The method was used to analyze a marine sediment core from Cabo Frio. The alkenones quantification in this core allowed not only appreciate changes in the sea surface temperature (SST) along the years and correlate them with changes in the upwelling, but also verify how the other biomarkers responded to SST changes.

Full textEnvironmental water pollution by organic compound has become a major worldwide concern. Aromatic molecules like benzene rings and their derivatives have gained considerable attention due to officially documented toxicity and carcinogenicity. Mostly used in supramolecular chemistry, Cyclodextrins are truncated cone-shaped molecular structures having a hydrophilic outer surface and a hydrophobic cavity. Thus, they can theoretically encapsulate a large number of hydrophobic organic molecules to form water-soluble inclusion complexes. This complexation property has potential application in the field of detection and quantification of aromatic polycyclic pollutants in environmental water by portable spectroscopic means. We are interested in understanding this phenomenon of inclusion by combining theoretical and experimental approaches applied to solid state and in solution. It has been observed that only a few crystalline structures of cyclodextrin- pure aromatic molecule complexes appear in the structural databases after a brief review. Therefore, the main objective of our research is to focus more precisely on the interactions between the aliphatic alcohols and cyclodextrin molecules. For this purpose, to correlate our experimental and theoretical studies, the results obtained were monitored by various spectroscopic techniques in a systematic manner to observe the interaction between the molecules. Moreover, the powders and crystals obtained by varying the solubility of the mixtures were further subjected to physico-chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, and DSC monitoring to support our findings. This work also includes modeling of inclusion complexes using different approaches like combining semi-empirical methods of quantum chemistry (DFT / TD-DFT) and polarizable molecular mechanics. Calculations were carried out on homemade clusters, which will allow the implementation of evidence of structural and energetic factors for complexation

Full textChlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAH´s) were used widely within dry cleaning facilities and for metal degreasing until their toxicity was discovered. PCE is still used as dry cleaning liquid. Today CAH´s are found in soil environment at places where they have been used in the past. The CAH-concentration in trees growing on contaminated land has quite recently received attention as a cheap and effective way of assessing the extent of a CAH-contamination. The method has however, not been put into use in Sweden.
The aim of the study has been to investigate whether the CAH-concentration in tree cores could be used to delineate the spread of CAH in a soil environment under Swedish conditions in different seasons. The aim has also been to gain an understanding of the uptake process, as well as to identify the limitations of the method and important issues to consider when sampling.
Trees were sampled in March and June on Helgö 1:25, 1:26 in Växjö, Småland. Metal degreasing earlier conducted at this site has lead to the CAH contamination of soil and groundwater (PCE, TEC c-DACE). Mostly PCE, TCE, and chloroform were detected in tree cores. The CAH concentration was higher in June. Using the sum of PCE+TCE+c-DCE in trees to delineate the spread gave a result that was quite consistent with a delination done based on groundwater sampling.
The uptake of CAH by trees is governed by the uptake of water at the root. The water usage, together with the origin of the water used is important for the ability of the tree to take up CAH. The CAH concentration within trees is also dependent on the chemical properties of the compound (Log kow, solubility etc), the concentration of the compound in the soil as well as degradation processeses. The position and height of sampling in the trees, tree species as well as tree size are important factors to consider when sampling. Sampling during summer is preferred when the concentration of CAH in trees is likely to be higher.
The analysis of CAH in tree cores has potential to be used as a screening tool in soil investigations under Swedish conditions. It is a cheap and easy to use method, which would be a good complement to other investigative measures. However, an increased understanding of the processes involved, together with more analysis are needed., as this is a new method.
Klorerade lösningsmedel (CAH) användes i stor omfattning som bl a kemtvättmedel och avfettningsmedel tills dess att deras toxiska egenskaper blev kända. Perkloretylen (PCE) används än idag som kemtvättmedel. CAH återfinns ofta i markmiljö på de platser där de tidigare använts. Analys av CAH-koncentration i trädkärnor har uppmärksammats som en billig och effektiv metod för att översiktligt bedöma utbredningen av dessa föroreningar. Metoden har inte tidigare använts i Sverige.
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka om trädprovtagning kan användas för att bedöma utbredningen av föroreningar i markmiljö under svenska förhållanden vid olika årstider.
Analyserade CAH-halter i träd har jämförts med tidigare registrerade halter av CAH i grundvatten. Syftet har också varit att beskriva CAH-upptaget i träd, undersöka metodens begränsningar samt att sammanfatta viktiga aspekter vid provtagning.
Provtagningar av träd har genomförts under mars och juni på fastigheterna Helgö 1:25 och 1:26 i Växjö, där tidigare metallavfettning har medfört att mark och grundvattnet förorenats av CAH; perkloretylen (PCE), trikloretylen (TCE) och nedbrytningsprodukten dikloretylen (c1,2-DCE). Vid analys av trädkärnor detekterades främst PCE, TCE samt TCM (kloroform). Koncentrationen av CAH var högre i juni. Halten PCE+TCE+c-DCE i trädproverna gav en översiktlig bild av föroreningssituationen som överensstämde väl med de grundvattenprover som tidigare tagits på fastigheten.
CAH tas upp i vattenlöst fas vid trädens rötter. Trädets vattenbehov och vilket vatten det utnyttjar är därför viktigt för dess möjlighet att ta upp CAH. Ämnets kemiska egenskaper (log kow, flyktighet, mm.), samt förekomst och nedbrytning påverkar den halt som registreras i trädet. Vid provtagning bör provtagningspunkternas höjd över marken och position, trädart samt trädstorlek beaktas. Provtagning under sommaren är att föredra eftersom halterna då är högre.
Jämförelsen med grundvattenprovtagning visar att metoden har potential att användas i Sverige för att bedöma utbredningen av en CAH-förorening i markmiljö. Den är enkel att använda och kan vara ett alternativ på platser där konventionella metoder är svåra att genomföra. En ökad förståelse för involverade processer, samt utökade undersökningar av metoden är nödvändiga då metoden är ny.

The Potengi river estuary is located in the region of Natal (RN, Brazil), comprising a population of approximately 1,000,000 inhabitants. Besides the dominant urban presence, the estuary has fragments of mangrove forest. The objective of this study is to determine the aliphatic hydrocarbons found in the bottom sediments of this estuary, identifying their levels, distribution and their possible origins through the diagnostic rates, indexes and results comparisons with the local anthropic and natural characteristics. The samples were obtained according to a plan that allowed sampling of the estuary up to 12 km upstream from it as mounth. 36 stations were selected, grouped into 12 cross sections through the course of the river and spaced on average by 1 km. Each section consisted of three stations: the right margin, the deepest point and the left margin. The hydrocarbon n-alkanes from C10 to C36, the isoprenoids pristane and phytane, the unresolved complex mixture (UCM) and the total resolved hydrocarbons were analyzed by gas chromatography. N-alkanes, pristane, phytane and UCM were detected only at some stations. In the other, the concentration was below the detection limit defined by the analytical method (0.1 mg / kg), preventing them from being analyzed to determine the origin of the material found. By using different parameters, the results show that the estuary receives both the input of petrogenic hydrocarbons, but also of biogenic hydrocarbons, featuring a mixture of sources and relatively impacted portions. Based on the characteristics and activities found in the region, it is possible to affirm that petrogenic sources related to oil products enter the estuary via urban runoff or boats traffic, boat washing and fueling. Turning to the biogenic source, the predominant origin was terrestrial, characterized by vascular plants, indicating contribution of mangrove vegetation. It was evident the presence of, at specific points in the estuary, hydrocarbon pollution, and, therefore is recommended the adoption of actions aimed at interrupting or, at least, mitigating the sources potentially capable of damp petrogenic hydrocarbons in the estuary studied.
O estu?rio do rio Potengi est? inserido na regi?o da Grande Natal (RN, Brasil), que compreende uma popula??o de aproximadamente 1.000.000 de habitantes. Al?m da presen?a urbana dominante, este estu?rio mant?m fragmentos de floresta de manguezal. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar os hidrocarbonetos alif?ticos em sedimentos de fundo do estu?rio, identificando os n?veis, distribui??o e suas poss?veis origens atrav?s dos ?ndices, raz?es diagn?sticas e compara??o dos resultados com as caracter?sticas antr?picas e naturais vigentes no local. As amostras foram obtidas obedecendo a um plano de amostragem que permitiu uma varredura desde a foz do estu?rio at? 12 km a montante. Foram escolhidas 36 esta??es, agrupadas em 12 se??es transversais ao curso do rio espa?adas, em m?dia, por 1 km. Cada se??o era composta de tr?s esta??es: margem direita, ponto mais profundo e margem esquerda. Atrav?s da cromatografia gasosa, foram analisados os hidrocarbonetos n-alcanos do C10 ao C36, os isopren?ides pristano e fitano, a mistura complexa n?o resolvida (MCNR), al?m dos resolvidos totais. Foram detectados n-alcanos, pristano, fitano e MCNR apenas em algumas esta??es. Nas demais, a concentra??o foi inferior ao limite de detec??o estabelecido pelo m?todo anal?tico (0,1 mg/kg), impossibilitando-as de serem analisadas para a determina??o da origem do material encontrado. Atrav?s da utiliza??o de diferentes par?metros, os resultados demonstram que o estu?rio recebe tanto o aporte de hidrocarbonetos petrog?nicos, como tamb?m de hidrocarbonetos biog?nicos, caracterizando uma mistura de fontes e ?reas mais ou menos impactadas. Com base nas caracter?sticas e atividades encontradas na regi?o, podemos afirmar que as fontes petrog?nicas relacionam-se a derivados de petr?leo que entram no estu?rio atrav?s do escoamento urbano ou pelo tr?fego, lavagem e abastecimento de embarca??es; com rela??o ? fonte biog?nica, predominou origem terrestre caracterizado por plantas vasculares, indicando contribui??o da vegeta??o de mangue presente no local. Fica evidenciado o registro, em pontos espec?ficos do estu?rio, da polui??o por hidrocarbonetos, sendo recomendada a tomada de medidas objetivando a interrup??o ou, pelo menos, a atenua??o das fontes potencialmente capazes de aportar hidrocarbonetos petrog?nicos no estu?rio estudado

A contaminação por hidrocarbonetos (HCs) do petróleo em regiões costeiras marinhas, como os estuários, é considerada uma das mais importantes e impactantes, devido aos danos que esses elementos podem ocasionar aos organismos e ao homem. O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigas, pela primeira vez, os hidrocarbonetos nos sedimentos superficiais do sistema estuarino do Rio Formoso (SERF), litoral Sul do estado de Pernambuco – Brasil. Os compostos de hidrocarbonetos alifáticos (HAs) foram determinados em cromatógrafo a gás (GC) Agilent Tecnologies 7820A, acoplado a um detector de ionização de chamas (DIC) e os compostos de hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos (HPAs) foram determinados no mesmo cromatógrafo, porém acoplado a um espectrômetro de massas 5975 (MS) em modo de monitoramento de íons selecionados (SIM). A concentração de alifáticos totais (∑Alif) nos sedimentos do SERF variou entre 1,37 e 126,64 μg g-1 peso seco (ps), com as concentrações de n-alcanos totais (Σn-Alc) entre 0,51 e 27,5 μg g-1 ps, oriundos principalmente de fontes biogênicas, como vegetais superiores. A concentração de HPAs (Σ16HPAs) variou entre 3,80 e 500,3 ng g-1 ps, provenientes de fontes petrogências e pirogênicas As concentrações de hidrocarbonetos alifáticos e aromáticos detectados nos sedimentos do sistema estuarino do Rio Formoso foram consideradas baixas, quando comparadas com outras áreas estudadas ao redor do mundo e aos índices propostos por estudos e agências reguladoras nacionais e internacionais, sugerindo um ambiente com pouco impacto sobre a biota. Contudo, a presença de compostos como HPAs é um indicativo de ação antrópica sobre o sistema, sendo importante a implantação e manutenção de um programa de monitoramento na área, quanto aos hidrocarbonetos, para avaliar os possíveis impactos que a presença desses compostos possam ocasionar sobre o SERF e garantir a conservação continuada de um estuário de tamanha importância ecológica, econômica e social.
The contamination by hydrocarbons (HCs) of oil in marine coastal regions, such as estuaries, is considered one of the most important and impactful due to the damage that these elements may cause to the bodies and man. The aim of this study was investigas for the first time, the hydrocarbons in the surface sediments of the estuarine system of the Formoso river (SERF), South coast of the state of Pernambuco - Brazil. Aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds (HAs) were determined on a gas chromatograph (GC) Agilent Technologies 7820A coupled to a flame ionization detector (FID) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (PAH) were determined in the same chromatograph, however coupled a mass spectrometer 5975 (MS) in selected ion monitoring mode (SIM). The concentration of total aliphatic (ΣAlif) in SERF sediments ranged between 1.37 and 126.64 μg g-1 dry weight (dw), with total n-alkanes concentrations (Σn-Alc) between 0.51 and 27.5 μg g-1 dw, mainly from biogenic sources such as higher plants. The concentration of PAHs (Σ16HPAs) ranged from 3.80 to 500.3 ng g-1 dw, from petrogências sources and pyrogenic Hydrocarbon concentrations aliphatic and aromatic detected in the sediments of the estuarine system of the Formoso river were considered low compared with other areas studied around the world and the indices proposed by studies and national and international regulatory agencies, suggesting an environment with little impact on the biota. However, the presence of compounds such as PAHs is indicative of human action on the system, it is important to establishing and maintaining a monitoring program in the area, as hydrocarbons, to assess the possible impact that the presence of these compounds can cause on SERF and ensure the continued conservation of an estuary of such ecological, economic and social.

Full textSoil bottles and soil slurry experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of some additives on the aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons; tetrachloroethylene (PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE) and dichloroethylene (DCE) in a contaminated soil from Startvätten AB Linköping Sweden. For the aerobic degradation study the soil sample was divided into two groups, one was fertilised. The two groups of soil in the experimental bottles were treated to varying amount of methane in pairs. DCE and TCE were added to all samples while PCE was found in the contaminated soil. Both aerobic and anaerobic experiments were conducted. For aerobic study air was added to all bottles to serve as electron acceptor (oxygen). It was observed that all the samples showed a very small amount of methane consumption while the fertilised soil samples showed more oxygen consumption. For the chlorinated compounds the expected degradation could not be ascertained since the control and experimental set up were more or less the same.
For the anaerobic biodegradation study soil slurry was made with different media i.e. basic mineral medium (BM), BM and an organic compound (lactate), water and sulphide, phosphate buffer and sulphide and phosphate buffer, sulphide and ammonia. To assure anaerobic conditions, the headspace in the experimental bottles was changed to N2/CO2. As for the aerobic study all the samples were added DCE and TCE while PCE was found in the contaminated soil. The sample without the soil i.e. the control was also given PCE. It was observed that there was no clear decrease in the GC peak area of the pollutants in the different media. The decrease in GC peak area of the pollutants could not be seen, this may be so because more susceptible microorganisms are required, stringent addition of nutrients and to lower the risk of the high concentration of PCE and petroleum products in the soil from Startvätten AB.
