The validation of the extraction method is significant for the characterization of the offset effluent and the selection of an adequate effluent treatment for its safe disposal in a printing environment. For the aforementioned reasons, the qualitative characterization of the organic load profile of the waste offset developer was evaluated based on the application of two liquid/liquid (L/L) extraction methods. The gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) method was used for the qualitative detection of the organic compounds present in the offset effluent. The cumulative qualitative GC/MS profile of organic substances in the waste offset developer indicates that the effluent contains 69 organic compounds with a probability of presence higher than 70% according to the AMDIS software and the NIST database.

<p>Com a crescente demanda populacional da cidade universitária, aumentam-se os despejos de efluentes líquidos nos corpos hídricos fazendo-se necessário um tratamento eficaz, a fim de remover a carga orgânica poluidora antes de serem descartados. Nesse trabalho, objetivou-se apresentar um sistema de tratamento de efluentes para Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, <em>Campus </em>de Pombal localizado no estado da Paraíba. No desenvolvimento do estudo foram realizadas as seguintes etapas: caracterização detalhada do <em>campus </em>Pombal/UFCG, situação atual do esgotamento sanitário dentro do Campus de Pombal, diagnóstico dos possíveis impactos ambientais decorrentes do atual sistema de tratamento de esgoto, medidas mitigadoras e por fim apresentado um sistema de tratamento que melhor se adeque as condições do local em estudo. Na metodologia foram necessárias visitas <em>in loco</em>, entrevistas informais a estudantes e funcionários, fotodocumentação do local de estudo e pesquisas bibliográficas. A partir dos resultados observou-se que o sistema de tratamento utilizado no campus apresenta falhas, sendo necessária a substituição de tal procedimento de tratamento. O sistema proposto foi por meio do processo anaeróbio com reator UASB seguido por Lodo Ativado Convencional, com escolha a partir do fato de ser um sistema compacto, não necessitando de grandes áreas para implantação, assim como também um sistema de baixo custo operacional e apresentar baixo tempo de detenção hidráulico.</p><p><strong><em>Effluent Treatment System for campus of the Federal University of Campina Grande in Pombal Cit </em></strong></p><pre><strong>Abstract: </strong>With the growing population demand of the university town, the liquid effluent discharges are increased in water bodies making it necessary effective treatment, to remove the polluting organic load before being discarded. In this study aimed to present an effluent treatment system to Federal University of Campina Grande, Campus de Pombal located in the state of Paraiba. the following steps in the development of the study were carried out: detailed characterization of Pombal / UFCG campus, current situation of sanitation within the Campus de Pombal, diagnosis of the possible environmental impacts of the current sewage treatment system, mitigation measures and finally submitted an treatment system that best suits local conditions under study. The methodology were necessary on-site visits, informal interviews with students and staff, photo documentation of the place of study and literature searches. From the results it was observed that the treatment system used in the campus has flaws, necessitating the replacement of such a treatment procedure. The proposed system was through the anaerobic process with UASB followed by Activated Sludge Conventional, with choice from being a compact system and does not require large areas for deployment, as well as a low operational cost and have low hydraulic retention time. </pre>

The industrial characterization of the machinability of metals and alloys has always been a very arbitrarily defined property, subject to the selection of various reference or test materials; and the adoption of rather naive and misleading interpretations and standards. However, it seems reasonable to assume that with the present state of knowledge of materials properties, and the current theories of solid state physics, more basic guidelines for machinability characterization might be established on the basis of the residual machined microstructures. This approach was originally pursued by Draper; and our presentation here will simply reflect an exposition and extension of this research.The technique consists initially in the production of machined chips of a desired test material on a horizontal milling machine with the workpiece (specimen) mounted on a rotary table vice. A single cut of a specified depth is taken from the workpiece (0.25 in. wide) each at a new tool location.

The Hot Water Percolation (HWP) technique for preparing soil extracts has several advantages: it is easily carried out, fast, and several parameters can be measured from the same solution. The object of this study was to examine the possible use of HWP extracts for the characterization of soil organic matter. The HPLC-SEC chromatograms, UV-VIS and fluorescence properties of the HWP extracts were studied and the results were compared with those of the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS) Soil Humic Acid (HA), IHSS Soil Fulvic Acid (FA) and IHSS Suwannee Natural Organic Matter (NOM) standards as well as their HA counterparts isolated by traditional extraction methods from the original soil samples. The DOM of the HWP solution is probably a mixture of organic materials, which have some characteristics similar to the Soil FA fractions and NOM. The HWP extracted organic material can be studied and characterized using simple techniques, like UV-VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Introdução: O estado de Rondônia se destaca como tradicional produtor de café, sendo o segundo maior produtor brasileiro de C. canephora. No melhoramento genético de C. canephora, a seleção de plantas de elevada peneira média está associada à bebida de qualidade superior. Objetivos: O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a variabilidade genética de clones de C. canephora para o tamanho dos grãos, mensurado a partir da avaliação da peneira média (PM). Materiais e Métodos: Para isso, foi conduzido ao longo de dois anos agrícolas experimento no campo experimental da Embrapa no município de Ouro Preto do Oeste-RO, para a avaliação da peneira média de 130 genótipos (clones) com características das variedades botânicas Conilon, Robusta e híbridos intervarietais. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições de quatro plantas por parcela. Resultados: Não houve resultados significativos para a interação clones X anos, indicando uma maior consistência no comportamento das plantas ao longo do tempo.

Abstract Review of the available results appearing in the recent literature is presented focusing particularly upon the effects of metallic ions such as Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, V, Zn, Ni and Co. Some original data involving the effects of Na are presented and discussed. Development of parameters used in evaluating the influence of toxic or inhibitory species on the mixed microbial population of an activated sludge system is of crucial importance and different techniques employed such as BOD-COD-TOC-removal rates, Oxygen Uptake Rate, and others are discussed, showing relative inadequacy of currently applied assays. From the data available, certain trends can be discerned. There is a definite threshold concentration for each metallic ion, depending on the organic load of the feed. In the order of increasing toxicity to activated sludge systems reflected in lower BOD removals the following metals have been listed as inhibiting factors at concentrations starting from 1 ppm applied on a continuous basis: hexavalent chromium, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, trivalent chromium, copper and nickel. Metals in combination have not been reported to exhibit any significantly different effects as compared to those observed with individually introduced metallic ions. Tolerance of some activated sludge systems to shock loadings by various inorganic ions and metals is reviewed. The conclusions are of particular importance for estimating the performance of biox systems handling industrial effluents which are likely to contain toxic components of inorganic or metallic nature.
