This study aimed to analyze the effect of a saline solution on growth and chemical composition of Atriplex nummularia. These species seedlings were planted in the Garden of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. Chemical characterization was performed using the Ion Chromatography (IC) and Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The results of this analysis highlighted the diversity of anions and cations absorbed by the plant during its evolutionary process. Based on this study it was concluded that the Atriplex could be used as a source of absorbing salts from soils contaminated by effluents from industrial processes in which the saline water has as an end product of their processes.

We evaluated a degree of the machine part abrasive wear with secondary focus on their hardness. The paper states laboratory results of overlay systems from their wear resistance point of view. Laboratory experiments were carried out by two-body abrasion on bonded abrasive of a P120 granularity. The results proved an increased abrasive wear resistance of martensitic, ledeburitic and stellitic overlays against eleven different original products. The overlay UTP Ledurit 60 reached the optimum values. The GD-OES (Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy) method proved the different chemical composition of the overlay from the stated chemical composition of the overlaying electrode.

A method, employing optical and x-ray emission, is described for the determination of all detectable elements in aquatic plants growing in the littoral zone of two lakes in Connecticut. The pondweed and the hornwort accumulate As. Comparative data are presented for the determination of this element by atomic absorption and x-ray emission. The chemical composition of some plants is shown as well as the distribution of the rare earths in various portions of the yellow water lily.

A water turbine blade was investigated after it was discarded. First general macroscopic observations were performed on the turbine blade surface and then chemical composition of the steel was determined by arc spark optical emission spectroscopy. The study aimed to observe if the mechanical properties of the steel changed by a significant amount when compared with literature data. Tensile and impact tests were performed. The samples were obtained from transverse sections from the blade.

The production of saffron spice generates large quantities of plant by-products: over 90% of the plant material collected is discarded, and a consideration fraction of this waste is plant stamens. This work investigated the chemical composition and the antimicrobial activities of the non-polar fraction extracted from four different saffron flower stamens. The chemical composition of ethereal extracts of the saffron stamens was qualitatively assessed by means of gas–chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses. These analyses revealed ethereal extracts to possess a high polyunsaturated fatty acid content. In vitro antibacterial activity of stamen extracts showed no large differences between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in terms of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). In food matrix microbial analysis of the bacterial strains belonging to the main foodborne pathogen species, including Staphylococcus aureus DSM 20231, Escherichia coli DSM 30083, and Listeria monocytogenes DSM 20600, using low-fat UHT milk, revealed a statistically significant reduction in the number of cells (particularly for E. coli and S. aureus with a complete elimination of the population of the two target bacteria following incubation in diethyl ether extracts of saffron stamen (DES) at high concentrations tested, both at 37 °C and 6 °C (for 48 h and 7 days, respectively). A synergic effect was observed when the pathogens were incubated at 6 °C with DES. This work shows these by-products to be excellent sources of bioactive compounds, which could be exploited in high-added-value products, such as food, cosmetics, and drugs.
