The figure shows sugarcane, raw material for ethanol production, exposed to different environmental conditions in Brazilian crop areas. Composed of 70% water, this plant was the key in this work to investigate the influence of seasonal and regional variations in source water isotopic patterns and their influence on ethanol's isotopic ratios, aiming at discrimination of geographical origin. Details are presented in the Article Mapping Ethanol Production Sources in Brazil Through Stable Isotopes by Gilson C. Silva, Marcelo Z. Moreira, Arthur L. Scofield, José M. O. Godoy, Lilian F.

How to cite this article

 

The model of bidentate binding was employed to describe equilibria of metal chlorides adsorption by silica with grafted 1-n-propyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. The model takes into account the fixation of metal species as tri- and tetrachlorometallate anions detained near the surface as counterions and also the dissociation and auto-complexation equilibria of metal chlorides in solutions.

Juan P. Montañez; Silvina Gómez; Ana N. Santiago; Liliana B. Pierella

How to cite this article

 

Chlorobenzoic acids are persistent pollutants in the environment, adversely affecting the flora and fauna. In this work, the photocatalytic decomposition of 2-, 3- and 4- chlorobenzoic acids with TiO2 loaded on HZSM-11 zeolite was investigated. We report the use of zeolite-supported TiO2, which can be easily removed and is a very efficient and reusable photocatalyst.

How to cite this article

 

Cocaine samples seized in Brazilian Federal District between 2010 and 2013 were analyzed by the Federal Police chemical profiling program (PeQui project). Cocaine purity, degree of oxidation and pharmaceutical products used as cutting agents were determined by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) analysis. A new adulterant was identified and routinely quantified (aminopyrine) and a mass balance approach was discussed.
