Para isto, foram sintetizados dois materiais: um composto de coordenação usado como fase sólida na determinação de açúcares redutores e uma rede de sílica utilizada como resina de pré-concentração de percloratos. O composto de coordenação cobre (II) - 4,4 '- bipiridina foi usado no desenvolvimento do método para a determinação de açúcares redutores em água de coco e sucos empregando sistema em fluxo multicomutado com detecção espectrofotométrica. A metodologia de análise baseou-se na reação de oxi-redução em meio alcalino entre o reagente sólido e os açúcares redutores. A reação entre a fase sólida (de coloração azul) com (glicose + frutose) resulta em produto de cor amarelada, monitorada em 420 nm. A fase sólida foi fixada em 50 mg e temperatura de 90ºC. Com volume de zona de amostragem de 160 L, que corresponde a 20 ciclos, obtendo resposta linear entre 1,0 e 20,0 g L-1 de AR com RSD de 4,47% (n = 7 ), limite de detecção de 0,2250 g L-1, limite de quantificação de 0,7496 g L-1, freqüência analítica de 75 determinções por hora e geração de efluentes de 320 μL por determinação. Os teores de açúcar redutor encontrados em sucos e água de coco variaram de 38,35 a 98,50 g L-1 e 61,80 a 68,70 g L-1 respectivamente. A rede de sílica, 2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxa-1-silaciclotetradecano, foi empregada num sistema multicomutado como coluna de pré-concentração de perclorato. O sistema foi acoplado a um detector potenciométrico para determinar percloratos em vegetais. Usou-se um eletrodo tubular com membrana constituída por 1% (m/m) de BNIP 4,4 Dapm LC1 solubilizado em 68% (m/m) de 2-nitrodifeniléter, como solvente mediador e 31% (m/m) de poli (cloreto de vinila). Obteve-se limite de detecção de 2,8x10-7 mol L-1, resposta linear no intervalo de 1,0x10-9 a 1,0x10-1 mol L-1, coeficiente de correlação linear de 0,9998 e a coluna apresentou uma capacidade de retenção de 2,86x10-3 mol de perclorato. O sistema foi aplicado às amostras de diferentes vegetais e foram encontradas concentrações de percloratos de 1,30 a 5,08 µg L-1 o teste recuperação variou de 96,5 a 110,8 %. / Two new multicommutation-based analytical methods were developed aiming to the quantification of chemical species in food. The first method is intended to the determination of reducing sugars in coconut water and fruit juices, while the second one is a potentiometric determination of perchlorates in horticultural products. The method eveloped for the determination of reducing sugars uses a multicommuted flow system with spectrophotometric detection employing a (copper (II) - 4,4’ – bipyridyl) coordination compound as the solid-phase reagent. The reaction of the solid blue phase with glucose/fructose resulted in a yellowish solution, which was monitored at 420 nm; 50 mg of the solid phase was used and the temperature was set at 90ºC. The volume of the sample zone was, 160 L, corresponding to 20 cycles, with a linear response of 1.0 e 20.0 g L-1 to the RA and RSD of 4.47% (n = 7), detection limit of 0.2250 g L-1, the limit of quantification was 0.7496 g L-1, analytical frequency of 75 determination per hour and effluent generation of 320 L per determination. The potentiometric method used to determine perchlorates used a tubular electrode formed by a polymeric membrane which showed the best features consisted of 1% (w/w) BNIP Dapm LC1 solubilized in 68% (w/w) of 2-nitrodiphenyl ether as a mediator solvent and 31% (w/w) poly(vinyl chloride) as the polymeric matrix. A limit of detection of 2.8x10-7 mol L-1 was obtained with a linear response in the range of 1.0x10-9 at 1.0x10-1 mol L-1, linear correlation coefficient of 0.9998 and the column retention capacity 2.86x10-3 mol perchlorate. Was applied to samples of different vegetables found perchlorates 1.30 to 5.08 µg L-1 and recovery between 96.5 and 110.8%.

Porém, havendo a presença de uma superfície freática no solo arrimado tal determinação não apresenta resultado analítico, sendo então requerido um estudo numérico para obter um valor que auxilie com certa precisão nessa análise. Poucos trabalhos foram feitos sobre esse tema e ainda assim sua importância não deixa de ser relevante para a verificação das condições de estabilidade de estruturas de arrimo drenantes. Nesse trabalho é feita uma abordagem numérica através do Método dos Elementos de Contorno (MEC) para determinação da posição da superfície freática e posterior cálculo do empuxo ativo pelo Método de Coulomb considerando a influência dessa superfície. É implementado um programa de computador, cujo algoritmo de cálculo, baseado em MEC, apresenta a posição da freática, o valor da vazão total que chega ao sistema de drenagem e o empuxo ativo atuante sobre a estrutura de contenção / Abstract: The determination of active thrust in retaining wall analysis through limit equilibrium is a routine in geotechnical engineering, mostly due to analytic simplicity. However, when there is a phreatic surface in the retained soil, such determination does not present an analytic result. Then a numerical study is necessary to obtain a representative value of prore water pressures in the soil for the analysis. There are few technical publications about this theme, but its importance is recognized in drained retaining wall stability calculation. This work proposes a numerical approach using Boundary Element Method (BEM) to evaluate the position of phreatic surface and calculation of active thrust coefficient through Coulomb's method considering the influence of this position. A computer program, which calculation algorithm based on BEM is developed. It presents the results of the phreatic surface position, the total flow volume that arrives to the drainage system and the active thrust value / Mestrado / Geotecnia / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

Desenvolvimento de procedimentos analíticos em fluxo com multicomutação e foto-oxidação em linha para determinação espectrofotométrica de espécies de interesse ambiental, alimentício e clínico / Development of multicommuted flow-based analytical procedures with on-line photo-oxidation for the spectrophotometric determination of species of environmental, food and clinical relevance

Diogo Librandi da Rocha 24 June 2013 (has links)
A mecanização do preparo de amostras minimiza erros sistemáticos, a geração de efluentes e o tempo de análise. Sistemas em fluxo com microbombas solenoide (MPFS) atendem aos requisitos da mecanização de maneira robusta e versátil. Sendo assim, foram desenvolvidos procedimentos analíticos baseados em MPFS e foto-oxidação em linha visando ao fracionamento de fósforo em extratos de alimentos e águas naturais e à determinação de cloreto em águas naturais e urina. Fósforo é um nutriente importante cuja biodisponibilidade depende de sua forma química, tornando importante o fracionamento. O monitoramento de cloreto também é importante porque altas concentrações causam efeitos adversos ao meio ambiente e à saúde. Um MPFS foi proposto para o fracionamento de fósforo solúvel em extratos de alimentos, empregando foto-oxidação em linha do fósforo orgânico a ortofosfato, que foi quantificado pelo método do azul de molibdênio. Foi obtida resposta linear entre 5,0 e 40 mg L-1 para fósforo inorgânico (PI) e orgânico (PO), com limites de detecção de 0,5 e 1,2 mg L-1, respectivamente. Coeficientes de variação foram estimados em 1,2 e 3,6% para PI e PO, respectivamente, com frequência de amostragem de 80 determinações por hora. Por determinação, foram consumidos 380 µg de (NH4)6Mo7O24, 620 µg de ácido ascórbico e 790 µg de K2S2O8, gerando 2,5 mL de efluentes. Os resultados do fracionamento em extratos de alimentos concordaram com os obtidos pelo procedimento de referência (95% de confiança), baseado na digestão nitro-perclórica para a determinação de PO. Um procedimento com MPFS e espectrofotometria de longo caminho óptico foi desenvolvido para o fracionamento de fósforo (inorgânico e orgânico dissolvidos) em águas naturais. A quantificação foi baseada no método do azul de molibdênio, após fotoconversão das espécies a ortofosfato. Resposta linear foi observada entre 10 e 75 µg L-1 P, com limite de detecção de 2,0 µg L-1. Foram obtidos coeficiente de variação de 1,8% e frequência de amostragem de 40 determinações por hora. Por determinação, foram consumidos 160 µg de (NH4)6Mo7O24, 10 µg de SnCl2, 640 de µg K2S2O8 e 10 mg de NaOH, gerando 4,0 mL de efluentes. Os coeficientes angulares das curvas obtidas com 4 tipos diferentes de espécies de PO indicaram conversão quantitativa e os resultados obtidos para amostras de águas de rios foram concordantes com os obtidos pelo procedimento descrito pela AOAC (95% de confiança). Um procedimento limpo foi também desenvolvido para a determinação de cloreto em águas naturais e urina, evitando o uso de reagentes tóxicos. O analito foi foto-oxidado a cloro, que foi determinado por espectrofotometria através da descoloração do alaranjado de metila. Resposta linear foi observada entre 2,0 e 20 mg L-1, com limite de detecção de 0,7 mg L-1. O coeficiente de variação foi estimado em 1,6%, com frequência de amostragem de 75 determinações por hora e consumo de 7,5 µg de corante por determinação. Espécies concomitantes usualmente presentes nas amostras não interferiram mesmo em excesso em relação às concentrações normalmente encontradas. Os resultados das análises das amostras concordaram com os obtidos pelo procedimento de referência (95% de confiança). Os procedimentos propostos são alternativas limpas e rápidas para o fracionamento de fósforo e determinação de cloreto. / Mechanization of sample preparation minimizes systematic errors, waste generation and analysis time. Flow-based systems with solenoid micropumps (MPFS) attain the requirements for mechanization in a versatile and robust way. Therefore, analytical procedures based on MPFS and on-line photo-oxidation were developed aiming phosphorus fractionation in foodstuff and river waters and chloride determination in natural waters and urine. Phosphorus is an important nutrient for plants and animals and its bioavailability depends on its chemical form, making fractionation studies important. Chloride monitoring is relevant because the concentration unbalance leads to environmental and health issues. A MPFS was proposed for the fractionation of water soluble phosphorus in foodstuff, incorporating on-line photo-oxidation of organic phosphorus to phosphate, which was quantified by the spectrophotometric molybdenum blue method. Linear response was observed from 5 to 40 mg L-1 for both inorganic (PI) and organic (PO) phosphorus, with detection limits of 0.5 and 1.2 mg L-1, respectively. Coefficients of variation (n = 20) were estimated as 1.2 and 3.6% for PI and PO, respectively, with a sampling rate of 80 determinations per hour. Per determination, 380 µg of (NH4)6Mo7O24, 620 µg of ascorbic acid and 790 µg of K2S2O8 were consumed, generating 2.5 mL of waste. The results for food extracts agreed with those obtained by the reference procedure (95% confidence level) based on nitro-percloric digestion for PO determination. A MPFS procedure with long pathlength spectrophotometry was developed for phosphorus fractionation (dissolved organic and inorganic) in natural waters. Quantification was also based on the formation of molybdenum blue, after on-line photo-convertion of the organic species to orthophosphate. The analytical response was linear within 10 and 75 µg L-1 with a detection limit of 2.0 µg L-1. Coefficient of variation of 1.8% and sampling rate of 40 determinations per hour were achieved. Per determination, 160 µg of (NH4)6Mo7O24, 10 µg of SnCl2, 640 µg of K2S2O8 and 10 mg of NaOH were consumed, generating 4.0 mL of waste. Slopes of analytical curves obtained for four different PO species agreed with those obtained for orthophosphate, indicating quantitative conversion and the results for five freshwater samples agreed with those obtained by the AOAC reference procedure at 95% confidence level. A green procedure for chloride determination in urine and natural waters was also developed, avoiding hazardous chemicals. The analyte was on-line photo-converted to chlorine which was spectrophotometrically detected by methyl orange discoloration. The analytical response was linear from 2.0 to 20 mg L-1 Cl with a detection limit of 0.7 mg L-1. The coefficient of variation was 1.6% with a sampling rate of 75 determinations per hour, consuming 7.5 µg of the dye per determination. Usual concomitant species did not cause significant interference even in excess in relation to their highest concentration expected in the samples. The results for urine and water samples agreed with those obtained by the reference procedures at the 95% confidence level. The proposed procedures are environmentally friendly and fast alternatives for phosphorus fractionation and chloride determination

Desenvolvimento de procedimentos analíticos em sistemas de análise em fluxo empregando multicomutação para a determinação de anti-hipertensivos / Development of flow procedures based on multicomutation for the determination of anti-hypertensive drugs

Mariana Amorim Sanchez 05 November 2010 (has links)
Esta tese apresenta o desenvolvimento de procedimentos analíticos em sistemas de análises em fluxo com multicomutação para a determinação de anti-hipertensivos. A determinação de captopril foi baseada na redução de Cu(II) na presença do fármaco, seguida da reação de Cu(I) com sal dissódico de 4,4-dicarboxi-2,2-biquinolina (BQA). O procedimento apresentou frequência de amostragem de 47 determinações/h, com coeficiente de variação de 2,2% (n=20) e consumo de 290 µg de BQA por determinação. Os resultados das análises das amostras foram concordantes com os obtidos por titulação iodométrica. O procedimento foi aplicado à construção de curvas de dissolução de medicamentos utilizando-se um aparato alternativo, sendo os resultados concordantes com a literatura. A determinação de diltiazem foi realizada pela reação entre o fármaco e ClO-, seguida da reação de N,N-dietil-p-fenilenodiamina (DPD) com o ClO- remanescente. A metodologia apresentou limite de detecção de 7,0 µmol/L, frequência de amostragem de 34 determinações/h e coeficiente de variação de 0,9% (n=10), porém a aplicação foi dificultada por efeitos de matriz. Um procedimento baseado na microextração líquido-líquido do par iônico formado entre diltiazem e azul de bromotimol em meio ácido foi então desenvolvido. Foram obtidos limite de detecção de 0,9 µmol/L, frequência de amostragem de 78 determinações/h e eficiência de extração de 60%. O consumo de CHCl3 foi de apenas 50 &|#181;L, gerando 383 µL de resíduo por determinação. Resultados da análise das amostras foram concordantes com o procedimento de referência. Microextração líquido-líquido do par iônico formado entre losartana e alaranjado-II em meio ácido foi empregada para a determinação do fármaco. A frequência de amostragem foi de 77 determinações/h, com coeficiente de variação de 0,9% (n=10) e consumo de CHCl3 de 150 µL por determinação. Porém, diferentemente do observado no procedimento análogo em batelada, foram observados problemas relacionados à seletividade do procedimento. / This thesis focused the development of flow-based analytical procedures exploiting multicommutation for the determination of anti-hypertensive drugs. The reduction of Cu(II) in the presence of captopril, followed by the reaction of Cu(I) with 4,4-dicarboxy-2,2-bichinoline disodium salt (BCA) was employed for captopril determination. The procedure showed a sampling rate of 47 determinations per hour, coefficient of 2.2% (n = 20) and consumption of 290 µg BCA per determination. The results for pharmaceutical samples agreed with those obtained by iodometric titration. The procedure was applied to dissolution studies of pharmaceutical preparations using an alternative apparatus, yielding results in agreement with the literature. One of the analytical procedures for diltiazem determination was based on the reaction between the drug and ClO-, followed by the reaction between N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) and the remaining ClO-. The methodology showed a detection limit of 7.0 µmol/L, sampling rate of 34 determinations per hour and coefficient of variation of 0.9% (n = 10), but application was hindered by matrix effects. Thus, on-line liquid-liquid microextraction was evaluated, based on the ion pair formation between diltiazem and bromothymol blue in acidic medium. Detection limit of 0.9 µmol/L, sampling rate of 78 determinations per hour and extraction efficiency of 60% were attained. The CHCl3 consumption was only 50 µL, with waste generation of 383 µL per determination. The results for diltiazem determination in commercial pharmaceutical preparations agreed with the reference procedure. Finally, a procedure for losartan determination was developed based on flow injection liquid-liquid microextraction of the ion pair formed between the drug and orange-II in acidic medium. Sampling rate of 77 determinations per hour and coefficient of variation of 0.9% (n = 10) were achieved, consuming 150 µL of CHCl3 per determination. However, selectivity was poor, differently that observed in the analogous batch procedure.

Desenvolvimento de procedimentos analíticos limpos e com alta sensibilidade para a determinação de espécies de interesse ambiental / Development of clean analytical procedures with high sensitivity for determination of species of environmental interest

Wanessa Roberto Melchert 28 May 2009 (has links)
Procedimentos analíticos limpos e com alta sensibilidade foram desenvolvidos para a determinação de espécies de interesse ambiental (carbaril, sulfato e cloro livre). Os procedimentos foram baseados no acoplamento de sistemas de análises em fluxo com microbombas solenoides à espectrofotometria com longo caminho óptico ou em procedimentos de extração em ponto nuvem, visando a concentração das espécies de interesse sem o emprego de solventes tóxicos. A determinação de carbaril em águas naturais foi baseada em uma dupla extração em ponto nuvem: uma etapa de clean-up para a remoção de substâncias orgânicas interferentes e outra de pré-concentração do indofenol formado na reação com a forma oxidada do p-aminofenol. Resposta linear foi observada entre 10 e 500 µg L-1, com absortividade molar aparente estimada em 4,6x105 L mol-1 cm-1. O limite de detecção foi estimado em 7 µg L-1 e coeficiente de variação em 3,4% (n = 8). Recuperações entre 91 e 99% foram estimadas para adições de carbaril em amostras de águas naturais. Uma cela simples e de baixo custo com 30 cm de caminho óptico foi construída para medidas espectrofotométricas. A cela apresenta características desejáveis como baixa atenuação do feixe de radiação e volume interno (75 µL) comparável a de uma cela convencional. O desempenho da cela foi avaliado na determinação de fosfato utilizando o método azul de molibdênio com resposta linear obtida entre 0,05 e 0,8 mg L-1 de fosfato (r = 0,999). O aumento na sensibilidade (30,4 vezes) em comparação com o obtido com uma cela de fluxo convencional de 1 cm está de acordo com o estimado pela lei de Lambert-Beer. A formação do indofenol foi também explorada para a determinação de carbaril no procedimento em fluxo com celas de 30 e 100 cm. Respostas lineares; limite de detecção e coeficiente de variação foram estimados entre 50 - 750 e 5 - 200 µg L-1; 4,0 e 1,7 µg L-1 e 2,3 e 0,7%, respectivamente, para as celas de 30 e 100 cm. O procedimento proposto foi seletivo para a determinação de carbaril, sem interferências de outros pesticidas carbamatos. O resíduo gerado foi tratado com persulfato de potássio e irradiação ultravioleta, com redução de 94% do carbono orgânico total, não sendo o resíduo degradado considerado tóxico, frente às bactérias Vibrio-fischeri. A determinação de sulfato foi baseada em medidas turbidimétricas com cela de fluxo de 1 cm, com resposta linear observada entre 20 - 200 mg L-1. Deriva de linha base não foi observada em função do fluxo pulsado gerado pelas microbombas solenoides. O limite de detecção e o coeficiente de variação (n = 20) foram estimados em 3 mg L-1 e 2,4%, respectivamente, com frequência de amostragem de 33 determinações por hora. Para aumentar a sensibilidade, uma cela de fluxo de 100 cm foi empregada e deriva de linha base foi evitada utilizando uma etapa de limpeza periódica com EDTA em meio alcalino. Resposta linear foi observada entre 7 - 16 mg L-1 com limite de detecção de 150 µg L-1 e coeficiente de variação de 3,0% (n = 20). A frequência de amostragem foi estimada em 25 determinações por hora. Resultados obtidos para amostras de águas naturais e de chuva foram concordantes a nível de confiança de 95% com o procedimento turbidimétrico em batelada. A determinação de cloro livre em águas naturais e de torneira foi baseada na reação com N,N-dietil-p-fenilenodiamina, com resposta linear entre 5 e 100 µg L-1 de hipoclorito e limite de detecção e coeficiente de variação estimados em 0,23 µg L-1 e 3,4%, respectivamente. A frequência de amostragem foi estimada em 58 determinações por hora. / Clean analytical procedures with high sensitivity for the determination of species of environmental interest (carbaryl, sulphate and chlorine) were developed. Flow systems with solenoid micropumps were coupled to long optical pathlength spectrophotometry or cloud point extraction procedures, aiming the concentration of species for determination without employing toxic solvents. Carbaryl determination in natural waters was based on a double cloud point extraction: a clean-up step for removal of interfering organic species and pre-concentration of the indophenol blue, formed in the reaction with the oxidized of p-aminophenol. Linear response was observed between 10 and 50 µg L-1, with apparent molar absortivity estimated as 4.6x105 L mol-1 cm-1. Detection limit was estimated as 7 mg L-1 and the coefficient of variation as 3.4% (n = 8). Recoveries between 91 and 99% were obtained for carbaryl spiked to natural waters. A simple and low cost flow cell with 30 cm optical path was constructed for spectrophotometric measurements. The cell shows desirable characteristics such as reduced attenuation of the radiation beam and internal volume (75 µL) comparable to conventional flow cells. The performance was evaluated by phosphate determination by the molibdenium blue method, with linear response between 0.05 and 0.8 mg L-1 of phosphate (r = 0.999). The increase in sensitivity (30.4 fold) in comparison to the obtained with a conventional 1 cm optical path flow cell agreed to theoretical value estimated by the Lambert-Beer law. The determination of carbaryl was also carried out in a flow system coupled to 30 and 100 cm optical path flow cells, also exploiting the formation of indophenol compound. Linear responses, detection limits and coefficients of variation were 50 - 750 and 5 - 200 µg L-1;4.0 and 1.7 µg L-1 and 2.3 and 0.7%, respectively, for 30 and 100 cm cells. The proposed procedure was selective for the determination of carbaryl, without interferences of other carbamate pesticides. The waste of the analytical procedure was treated with potassium persulphate and ultraviolet irradiation, with decrease of 94% of total organic carbon. The residue after treatment was not toxic for Vibrio-fischeri bacteria. Sulphate determination was based on turbidimetric measurements with 1-cm flow cell, with linear response between 20 and 200 mg L-1. Baseline drift was avoided in view of the pulsed flow related to the solenoid micropumps. The detection limit and the coefficient of variation were estimated as 3 mg L-11 and 2.4%, respectively, for a sampling rate of 33 determinations per hour. Aiming the increase in sensitivity, a 100 cm optical path flow cell was employed and baseline drift was avoided with a washing, step employing EDTA in alkaline medium. Linear response was observed between 7 - 16 mg L-1, with a detection limit of 150 µg L-1, coefficient of variation of 3.0% (n = 20) and sampling rate of 25 determinations per hour. Results obtained natural and rain for water samples agreed at 95% confidence level with the batch turbidimetric procedure. The determination of free chlorine in natural and tap waters was based on the reaction with N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine, with linear response between 5 and 100 µg L-1, and detection limit and coefficient of variation estimated as 0.23 µg L-1 and 3.4%, respectively. Sampling rate was estimated as 58 determinations per hour.

Desenvolvimento de procedimentos analíticos explorando microextração líquido-líquido em fluxo para a determinação de espécies de interesse em águas e leite / Development of analytical procedures exploiting flow-based liquid-liquid microextraction for the determination of species of interest in waters and milk

Carina de Fátima Nascimento 26 February 2018 (has links)
Três procedimentos analíticos envolvendo microextração líquido-líquido (MELL) em fluxo foram desenvolvidos para as determinações de formaldeído em leite, detergentes aniônicos em águas de rios e bisfenol A (BPA) em águas de torneira. Microextração líquido-líquido dispersiva (MELLD) foi empregada no primeiro e no segundo procedimentos. O primeiro procedimento foi conduzido em um sistema fluxo-batelada no qual a quantificação espectrofotométrica era realizada diretamente na câmara de mistura/reação, através do acoplamento de fibras ópticas. No segundo, foi explorada a estratégia lab-in-syringe, em que a formação do par iônico entre os detergentes aniônicos e corante catiônico azul de metileno, bem como MELLD ocorriam no interior da seringa, sendo os analitos quantificados na fase orgânica por espectrofotometria. O terceiro procedimento envolveu MELL em sistema de análises por injeção sequencial (SIA), baseada na formação de um filme de 1-octanol na parede da bobina de extração. O extrato foi eluído com etanol e a quantificação de BPA foi realizada por espectrofluorimetria. As linearidades das curvas analíticas, os limites de detecção e os limites de quantificação ao nível de 95% de confiança foram: 0,5-5,0 mg L-1, 100 e 300 ?g L-1 para formaldeído, 0,03-0,5 mg L-1, 9,0 e 29,0 ?g L-1 para detergentes, e 5,0 - 100 ?g L-1, 1,8 ?g L-1 e 5,4 ?g L-1 para BPA. Os procedimentos desenvolvidos não apresentaram efeitos de matriz, e as recuperações se situaram entre 91 e 112%. A precisão e exatidão do procedimento foram concordantes com os procedimentos de referência, ao nível de 95% de confiança. Todos os procedimentos apresentaram coeficientes de variação menores do que 3,5% (n=10), frequência de amostragem de 10-17 h-1, consumiram apenas 30-40 µL de solventes orgânicos e geraram 2,7-6,7 mL de resíduos por determinação / Three analytical procedures involving flow-based liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME) were developed for the determinations of formaldehyde in milk, anionic detergents in river waters, and bisphenol A (BPA) in tap waters. The first and second procedures involved dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and spectrophotometric detection. The first one was carried out in a flow-batch system, in which the spectrophotometric quantification was performed directly in the mixing/reaction chamber by coupling optical fibers. The second one exploited the lab-in-syringe strategy, in which the ion-pair formation between the anionic detergents and the methylene blue cationic dye, as well as DLLME, were carried out inside the syringe. The third procedure involved LLME in a sequential injection system based on the formation of a 1-octanol film on the inner wall of the extraction coil. The extract was eluted with ethanol and BPA was quantified by spectrofluorimetry. Linear response ranges, detection and quantification limits estimated at the 95% confidence level were: 0.5-5.0 mg L-1, 100 and 300 ?g L-1 for formaldehyde; 0.03-0.5 mg L-1, 9.0 and 29.0 ?g L-1 for detergents, and 5.0-100 ?g L-1, 1.8 and 5.4 ?g L-1 for BPA. Matrix effects were not observed for the assayed samples and recoveries ranged from 91 to 112%. Accuracy and precision of the results agreed with those attained by reference procedures at the 95% confidence level. All procedures yielded coefficients of variation lower than 3.5% (n = 10), sampling rates within 10 and 17 h-1, consumed only 30-40 ?L of organic solvents, and generated 2.7-6.7 mL of waste by determination

O ferro é o elemento mais abundante na Terra e tem importante papel em ciclos biogeoquímicos Neste trabalho foi desenvolvido um procedimento analítico automático para a determinação fotométrica de ferro em águas de rios, empregando um fotômetro baseado em LED e mini-bombas solenoide para o gerenciamento de soluções. O procedimento proposto foi baseado na reação do ferro (III) com o tiocianato de potássio formando um complexo avermelhado com máximo de absorção em 470 nm. Para a determinação de ferro total foi incluída uma etapa de oxidação em linha, usando uma solução de persulfato (S2O82-) como oxidante. O módulo de análises foi constituído por quatro mini-bombas solenoide e uma válvula solenoide de três vias. Para a obtenção de sinais foi construído um fotômetro composto por uma cela de fluxo com caminho óptico de 50 mm, um LED azul (\'lâmbda\'=470 nm) e um fotodetector. Visando utilizar este equipamento portátil para medidas em campo, foram empregadas duas baterias de 6 V para alimentar os dispositivos ativos. Os ensaios em laboratório mostraram que as baterias permitem uma autonomia de mais de 50 horas de trabalho sem recarregá-las. O procedimento desenvolvido apresentou as seguintes características analíticas: resposta linear entre as concentrações de 0,25 e 4,0 mg L-1, segundo a equação Y = (0,0183 ± 0,003) + (0,15326 ± 0,002)X (r=0,9997); limite de detecção 0,013 mg L-1 Fe (III) estimado com 99,7 % de confiança; desvio padrão relativo estimado em 0,95 % (n=15) obtido com uma solução de concentração de 1,5 mg L-1 Fe (III); frequência de amostragem de 50 determinações por hora. Os resultados obtidos pelo procedimento proposto e pelo de referência não apresentaram diferenças significativas com nível de confiança de 95 % / Iron is the most abundant element on Earth and plays an important role in biogeochemical cycles. In this work, an automatic analytical procedure was developed for the photometric determination of iron in river waters, employing a LED-based photometer and solenoid mini-pumps for solution handling. The proposed procedure was based on the reaction between iron (III) and potassium thiocyanate, yielding a red complex with maximum absorption at 470 nm. For the determination of total iron, an in line oxidation step was included, employing a persulfate solution (S2O82-) as oxidant. The module was constructed with four solenoid mini-pumps and a three-way solenoid valve. For data acquisition a photometer was constructed with a 50 mm optical path flow cell, a blue LED (\'lâmbda\'= 470 nm) and a photodetector. Envisioning the use of this portable equipment in field, two 6-Volt batteries were employed to supply energy to the active devices.

Generation of dynamic control-dependence graphs for binary programs

Pogulis, Jakob January 2014 (has links)
Dynamic analysis of binary files is an area of computer science that has many purposes. It is useful when it comes to debugging software in a development environment and the developer needs to know which statements affected the value of a specific variable. But it is also useful when analyzing a software for potential vulnerabilities, where data controlled by a malicious user could potentially result in the software executing adverse commands or executing malicious code. In this thesis a tool has been developed to perform dynamic analysis of x86 binaries in order to generate dynamic control-dependence graphs over the execution. These graphs can be used to determine which conditional statements that resulted in a certain outcome. The tool has been developed for x86 Linux systems using the dynamic binary instrumentation framework PIN, developed and maintained by Intel. Techniques for utilizing the additional information about the control flow for a program available during the dynamic analysis in order to improve the control flow information have been implemented and tested. The basic theory of dynamic analysis as well as dynamic slicing is discussed, and a basic overview of the implementation of a dynamic analysis tool is presented. The impact on the performance of the dynamic analysis tool for the techniques used to improve the control flow graph is significant, but approaches to improving the performance are discussed.

Energy Separation And Lox Separation Studies In Vortex Tubes

Behera, Upendra 01 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Vortex Tube (VT) is a simple device having no moving mechanical parts, in which compressed gas at high pressure is injected through one or more tangential nozzles into a vortex chamber resulting in the separation of the inlet flow into two low pressure streams. One of the streams is the peripheral flow that is warmer than the inlet stream while the other is the central (core) flow that is colder than the inlet stream. This separation of the inlet flow into high and low temperature streams is known as temperature or energy separation. It is suggested by many investigators that compressed air of few atmospheres pressure and at room temperature can produce temperatures as high as +200ºC at the hot end (peripheral flow exit) and as low as -50ºC at the cold end (core flow exit) of the VT. Though VTs have large potential for simple heating and cooling applications, the mechanism of energy separation is not clear so far. Based on their studies, many investigators have suggested various theories, different from each other, but having specific lacunas and is an unresolved issue. Also, till date, experimental and industrial designs of the VTs are based purely on empirical correlations. Apart from heating and cooling applications, VTs can also be used for separation of binary gas mixtures and separation of oxygen from two-phase precooled air stream. The conceptual futuristic cryogenic launch vehicle designs are being attempted with in-flight liquid oxygen (LOX) collection system that significantly improves the pay load fraction. Vortex tube technology is one of the few promising technologies for futuristic in-flight LOX separation based launch vehicles. This technology has significant advantages over its counterparts as it is a simple, compact and light weight, and most importantly have no moving parts and unaffected by gravity and orientation. In order that VTs become an acceptable technology for in-flight LOX separation system, it is necessary to achieve minimum oxygen purity of 90% with more than 60% yield (separation efficiency) for the oxygen enriched stream in the VT. A survey of the available open literature has shown very little reported details, in particular, on achieving the required specifications for in-flight LOX separation systems. Till date, the highest LOX purity of 60% with 40% separation efficiency has been reported with VT technology. In view of the above mentioned facts, the work carried out has been focused on to: • Optimize the critical parameters of the VT to achieve maximum energy separation by CFD and experimental studies. • Understand the flow behaviour in the VT by estimating the velocity, temperature and pressure profiles at various locations in the VT and validation of secondary circulation flow and its effect on the performance of energy separation in VT. • Estimation of the energy transfer between the core and the peripheral layers of fluid flow in VT by analytical and CFD methods to propose the most appropriate mechanism of energy separation in VT. • Design and development of a dedicated experimental setup for both energy separation and LOX separation studies in VTs. • Design and fabrication of straight and conical VTs and experimental programme on energy separation and LOX separation. • Development of the VT air separation technology to achieve the required specifications of in-flight LOX separation system for futuristic launch vehicles. With these specific objectives and motivations, the total work was carried out with the following planned and sequential steps: • The first step was the CFD modeling of the VT with the available CFD software (Star-CD) and obtain the energy separation phenomena for a 12mm diameter VT. After gaining sufficient confidence level, optimization of the critical parameters like the air injection nozzle profile, number of nozzles, cold end orifice diameter dc, length to diameter (L/D) ratio, hot gas fraction etc of the VT was carried out through CFD and experimental studies. • The studies show that 6 convergent nozzles perform better in comparison to other configurations like circular helical, rectangular helical, 2 convergent and 6 straight nozzles. The studies also show that cold end orifice diameter (dc) plays an important role on energy separation and bring out the existence of secondary circulation flow with improper design of cold end orifice diameter. Through our studies, the effect of cold end diameter on the secondary circulation flow has been evaluated for the first time. Also, the mechanism of energy transfer in VT based on heat pump mechanism enabled by secondary circulation flow as suggested by some investigators has been evaluated in our studies. The studies show that cold end orifice diameter dc = 7mm is optimum for 12mm diameter VT, which matches fairly with the correlations given by other investigators. The studies confirms that CFD modeling carried out in this work is capable of selecting the correct dc value for a VT, without resorting to the empirical correlations as a design guide or a laborious experimental programme. • Through the CFD and experimental studies on different length to diameter (L/D) ratios and hot gas fractions, maximum hot gas temperature of 391K was obtained for L/D = 30 with hot gas fraction of 12-15 % and minimum cold gas temperature of 267K for L/D = 35 was obtained for cold gas fraction ≈ 60% (lowest cold gas fraction possible with the present experimental system). • CFD analysis has been carried out to investigate the variation of static and total temperatures, static and total pressures as well as the velocity components of the particles as it progresses in the flow field, starting from the entry through the nozzles to the exit of the VT by tracking the particles to understand the flow phenomenon and energy transfer mechanism inside the VT. The studies indicate that the mechanism of energy transfer from the core flow to the peripheral flow in VT is predominantly occurs by the tangential shear work. Thus the investigations reported in the thesis have given a clear understanding of the contributing mechanism for energy separation in VT, which has been an unresolved issue for long time. The net energy transfer between the core and the peripheral fluid has been calculated analytically and compared with the values obtained by CFD model for VTs of L/D ratios equal to 10 and 30. The net energy transfer by analytical and CFD model for VT with L/D = 10 is 159.87W and 154.2W respectively whereas the net energy transfer by analytical and CFD model for VT with L/D = 30 is 199.87W and 192.3W respectively. The results show that CFD results are in very good agreement with the analytical results and CFD can be used as a tool for optimization of the critical parameters and to analyze the flow parameters and heat transfer analysis for VTs. Also, the net energy transfer between the core and peripheral fluids calculated analytically matches very well with that of the net energy transfer by CFD analysis, without considering the effect of acoustic streaming. Thus acoustic streaming may not be the mechanism of energy separation in VT as suggested by some investigators. • By optimizing the critical parameters of the 12mm diameter straight VT through CFD and experimental studies, LOX separation studies have been carried out using both straight and conical VTs of dc = 7mm and of different L/D ratios for high LOX purity and separation efficiency. It is observed that conical (3º divergence) VTs perform better as compared to straight VTs for LOX separation whereas straight VTs perform better for energy separation. The better performance of conical VT as compared to straight VTs can be attributed to its increased surface area for condensation-evaporation phenomenon of oxygen and nitrogen molecules. Experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the influence of the inlet pressure and the inlet temperature (liquid fraction) on LOX purity. Studies indicate that for achieving high LOX purity for the studied experimental system, the inlet pressure is to be in the range of 6-6.5bar and there exists a very narrow band of inlet temperature zone in which high LOX purity can be achieved. Experimental studies on VTs show that VT can be optimized suitably either for high LOX purity with low separation efficiency or low LOX purity with high separation efficiency by adjusting the hot end mass fraction accordingly. It is also observed that it is not possible to obtain both high purity and high separation efficiency simultaneously with the single VT. Staging approach has to be adapted to achieve higher LOX purity with higher separation efficiency. By staging the VTs, the enriched air stream (hot end outlet flow) from the first stage of VTs is introduced to the inlet of the second stage of VTs. Experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the design parameters on staging of VTs. LOX purity of 48% with 89% separation efficiency has been achieved for conical first stage VT of L/D = 25. LOX purity of about 94% with separation efficiency of 84% has been achieved for 50% oxygen content at the inlet of the second stage VT. Similarly, LOX purity of 96% with separation efficiency of 73.5% has been achieved for 60% oxygen content at the inlet of the VT. This is the highest LOX purity and separation efficiency reported so far indicating that, conical VT of optimized diameter, L/D ratio and orifice diameter can yield the hot end flow very close to the target value of futuristic in-flight LOX separation based launch vehicles. The present investigation has focused the optimization of the critical parameters of VTs through CFD and experimental studies. It has also given an insight to the mechanism of energy transfer between the core and peripheral flow in VT by evaluating two of the existing theories on mechanism of energy transfer in VT. The studies also highlighted the fact that custom designed and precision fabricated VTs can be very useful for obtaining maximum / minimum temperatures of fluid flow as well as LOX separation with high purity and high separation efficiency needed for futuristic in-flight LOX separation based space launch vehicles.
