The effects of Nb/Ti in surface morphology were analyzed by atomic force and confocal microscopy measurements. The reflectivities of the films with niobium incorporation are in agreement with the Drude-Lorentz model. The constants obtained by the fitting show an increase in plasma frequency and relaxation time with increased Nb/Ti ratio, indicating an increase in the number of charge carriers. The color parameters according CIELab system show an increase in L*, a* and b* coordinates. The visual analysis indicates an increased red tone when compared with pure TiN film in agreement with the increased absolute values of a* coordinates. / Filmes de nitreto de titânio com adição de nióbio ((TiN[Nb], 0,01 < Nb/Ti < 0,15) foram depositados pelo processo de pulverização catódica utilizando um sistema Triodo Magnetron Sputtering. A pulverização catódica de Titânio e Nióbio foi feita a partir de um alvo de titânio com insertos de nióbio dispostos na região de erosão. Foram analisados os efeitos da razão Nb/Ti na morfologia superficial do filme através de microscopia de força atômica e confocal. As medidas de refletividade dos filmes de TiN[Nb] obedecem perfeitamente o modelo de Drude-Lorentz. As constantes obtidas pelo modelo de Drude-Lorentz mostram um aumento nos valores da frequência de plasma e tempo de relaxação com o aumento na razão Nb/Ti, indicando que a presença de nióbio aumenta o número de portadores de carga. Os parâmetros de cor segundo o sistema CIELab mostram um aumento nas coordenadas L*, a* e b*. A análise visual das amostras mostra uma tonalidade avermelhada, quando comparadas com o filme contendo somente TiN, em concordância com o aumento absoluto nas coordenadas a*.

In particular, reactive dyes are highly resistant to conventional wastewater treatment methods. New technologies have been contemplated, some of which have been applied in industrial treatment plants, but color removal has not been efficiently attained. Since microemulsion systems provide good results in heavy metals and proteins extraction processes, their use in dyes extraction has been suggested and investigated. In this work, a real textile wastewater from an exhaustion dyebath has been treated, which contains the following reactive dyes: Procion Yellow H-E4R (CI Reactive Yellow 84), Procion Blue H-ERD (CI Reactive Blue 160) and Procion Red H-E3B (CI Reactive Red 120), in addition to auxiliary compounds normally found in dyeing processes with reactive dyes. The dyes Remazol Blue RR and Remazol Turquoise Blue G (Reactive Blue 21) have also been examined in view of the presence of heavy metals in these molecules. The microemulsion system comprised dodecyl ammonium chloride (as a cationic surfactant), water or wastewater as aqueous phase, kerosene as oil phase, and one of the following alcohols as cosurfactant: isoamyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol and n-octyl alcohol. The pseudo-ternary diagrams were constructed in order to define Winsor s equilibrium regions. The influence of parameters such as pH, C/S (cosurfactant/surfactant) ratio, distribution coefficient, initial dye concentration, salinity, temperature, phases relative amounts, loading capacity of the microemulsion phase and dye reextraction rate has also been investigated. An experimental planning (Scheff? Net) was used to optimize the extraction process. The removal of color and metals reached levels as high as 99% / A cor do efluente resultante dos processos de tingimento tem sido um dos principais problemas ambientais enfrentados pela ind?stria t?xtil. De modo especial, efluentes contendo corantes reativos s?o altamente resistentes aos processos de tratamento convencionais. Novas tecnologias t?m sido buscadas, algumas j? em escala industrial, por?m nem sempre ? poss?vel atingir a efici?ncia desejada. Por serem utilizadas de forma eficiente em processos de extra??o de metais e de prote?nas, buscou-se utilizar as microemuls?es na extra??o de corantes. Para este estudo, um efluente real foi examinado, consistindo no banho de exaust?o de um processo de tingimento contendo os seguintes corantes: Procion Amarelo H-E4R (CI Reactive Yellow 84), Procion Azul H-ERD (CI Reactive Blue 160) e Procion Vermelho H-E3B (CI Reactive Red 120), al?m de auxiliares normalmente encontrados em processos de tingimento com corantes reativos. Para estudar a remo??o de metais ligados ?s mol?culas dos corantes, utilizaram-se ainda os corantes Remazol Azul RR e Remazol Azul Turquesa G (Reactive Blue 21). Os sistemas de microemuls?o foram formados pelo cloreto de dodecilam?nio (tensoativo cati?nico), ?gua ou efluente como fase aquosa, querosene como fase oleosa e um dos seguintes ?lcoois como cotensoativos: ?lcool isoam?lico, n-butanol e n-octanol. Os diagramas pseudo-tern?rios, representativos dos sistemas microemulsionados em estudo, foram desenvolvidos a fim de delimitar as regi?es de exist?ncia de equil?brio de fases (sistema de classifica??o Winsor). Verificou-se a influ?ncia de par?metros como: pH, raz?o C/T (cotensoativo/tensoativo), coeficiente de distribui??o, concentra??o inicial de corante, salinidade, temperatura, rela??o das fases, capacidade de carga da fase de microemuls?o e reextra??o do corante. Uma metodologia de planejamento experimental (Rede de Scheff?) foi utilizada para otimizar a extra??o. A remo??o da cor e de metais alcan?ou ?ndices de extra??o superiores a 99%

Colour and appearance of hardwood are of great importance for the interiorand furniture industry. The widespread use of transparent surface treatmentand a fashion that prescribe light colour on many species, means that deviationfrom the ideal have considerable impact on the industrial operations. Kilndrying is generally regarded as the process that has the greatest impact on thecolour of Nordic hardwood species. The lack of satisfactory explanation modelsfor many types of discoloration, however, complicates the control of the dryingprocess.This thesis is an attempt to increase the knowledge of which factors thatcontrol the appearance of some commonly found discolorations associated withdrying of beech, birch and oak. The main focus is on convection drying but alsothe influence of timber storage, pre-steaming and press drying has beeninvestigated for individual species. The studies have been conducted ascomparative studies based on design of experiments in which the colour wasdetermined using a colorimeter.Results show that reddish and dark discoloration of beech and birch duringconvective drying is mainly dependent on the temperature and time of exposurewhen the local moisture content exceeds the fibre saturation point. Theconversion of naturally occurring substances in birch into coloured compoundsis not due to active precursors created at high moisture content levels duringthe subsequent drying at low moisture content levels. Interior grey stain inbeech is caused by slow initial drying at low temperatures. Log storage in coldwinter and spring climate does not cause discoloration in beech. Birch becomeslighter when press-dried at high temperatures, resulting in a colour comparableto that of traditionally kiln dried wood. Steaming of oak before kiln dryingreduce the presence of brown discoloration, a general darkening of the woodoccurs at temperatures above 50°C.
