Une des voies à l’étude permettant de réduire l’inventaire des déchets nucléaires, après recyclage du plutonium, est la transmutation hétérogène, en réacteurs à neutrons rapides, de l’américium (Am) en éléments chimiques à demi-vies courtes, voire stables. L’irradiation de l’Am nécessite la fabrication de pastilles d’U1-XAmXO2±δ. La voie CRMP (Calcined Resin Microsphere Pelletization) est actuellement privilégiée parmi les différents procédés envisagés. Elle se base, avant frittage, sur le pressage de microsphères d’oxyde mixte U1-XAmXO2±δ obtenues par conversion thermique de microsphères de résine échangeuse d’ions chargée en cations UO22+ et Am3+. Comparé à des voies de synthèse classique utilisant la métallurgie des poudres, le procédé CRMP permet de favoriser les étapes de mise en forme (forte coulabilité des microsphères) tout en limitant la dissémination de particules fines à base d’Am, hautement radioactives. Dans ce contexte, cette thèse s’attache à mener une caractérisation exhaustive des différentes étapes du procédé CRMP d’un point de vue mécanistique et structural. Ainsi, le mode de complexation des cations dans la résine a été déterminé, via la mise en évidence de groupements carboxyliques bidentés autour des éléments U et Am. L’étape de conversion thermique a également été suivie de manière in-situ, et les structures des différents composés oxydes formés, (U1-XAmX)3O8 et U1-XAmXO2±δ, ont été identifiées et caractérisées finement. La substitution de l’Am dans chacun des composés a été démontrée, ainsi que les déformations associées autour des cations. Finalement, le frittage des microsphères sous forme de pastilles d’U1-XAmXO2±δ a été caractérisé, révélant une densification en deux étapes. Ce comportement singulier est le résultat d’une réorganisation multi-échelle dans le matériau ayant lieu au cours du frittage, s’expliquant par la présence dans le cru de nanoparticules pré-frittant à basse température. / One of the studied routes to reduce nuclear waste amount, is, after plutonium recycling, americium (Am) heterogeneous transmutation in fast neutron reactors, through the generation of short-lives and inert elements. Am irradiation requires the fabrication of U1-xAmxO2±δ pellets and the CRMP (Calcined Resin Microsphere Pelletization) process is currently considered as one the most promising candidate among other fabrication routes. It is based, before pellet sintering, on the compaction of U1-XAmXO2±δ oxide microspheres, synthetized through the thermal conversion of ion exchange resin microspheres, loaded with UO22+ and Am3+ cations. Compared to standard methods using powder metallurgy, CRMP process favours pressing step (easy microsphere flow) while limiting generation of highly radioactive Am-based fine particles. In this context, this PhD work was focused on the exhaustive characterization of CRMP process different steps, from a mechanistic and structural point of view. The cation molecular complex used in the resin was thus determined, highlighting carboxylic bidendate ligand binding around U and Am elements. Thermal conversion was also in-situ followed, and the structures of the different synthetized compounds evidenced and accurately characterized, i.e. (U1-XAmX)3O8 et U1-XAmXO2±δ. Am substitution in each of them was explained, revealing related distortions around U and Am cations. Finally, sintering of U1-XAmXO2-δ microspheres shaped into pellets was studied, showing a two-step densification. This unusual behavior corresponds to multi-scale reorganization into the material during sintering thermal treatment, associated to the presence of nanoparticles in the green pellet that sinter at low temperature.

Catalysts based on sulfonated styrenedivinylbenzene copolymer (SC) containing or not Sn2+ íons adsorbed as SnCl2.H2O colloidal particles from neutral solution or [SnCl3]- complex anions from acid solution were prepared. All catalysts were evaluated by specific surface area and pore volume measurements, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, atomic absorption spectrophotometry and ion exchange capacity. The obtained PLGA copolymers were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and inherent viscosity measurements. Independent of pH solution of the adsorptions, it was observed that Sn2+ ions were oxidized to Sn4+ forming SnO2. This oxidation probably occurred during catalysts drying process in the presence of oxygen. The PLGA copolymers with highest inherent viscosities, i.e., highest molecular weights were obtained with SC catalyst containing SnO2 prepared by adsorption of SnCl2.H2O colloidal particles in neutral solution. It was estimated that the highest PLGA molecular weights were equal or larger than 35 kDa. The produced PLGA presented white or lightly yellow color and Sn contamination less than 1 ppm which is below the limit allowed by the Brazilian legislation / No presente trabalho foram sintetizados copolímeros PLGA com massa molar acima de 10 kDa por policondensação direta dos monômeros ácido L-láctico e ácido glicólico. Foram preparados catalisadores à base de copolímero estireno-divinilbenzeno sulfonado (CS) contendo ou não íons Sn2+ adsorvidos na forma de partículas coloidais de SnCl2.H2O em meio neutro ou na forma do ânion complexo [SnCl3]- em meio ácido. Todos os catalisadores foram avaliados por medidas de área superficial específica e volume de poros, espectroscopia de infravermelho, difração de raios X, espectrofotometria de absorção atômica e capacidade de troca iônica. Os copolímeros PLGA obtidos foram caracterizados por espectroscopia de infravermelho, difração de raios X e medidas de viscosidade inerente. Foi verificado que independente do pH do meio de adsorção, os íons Sn2+ foram oxidados a Sn4+ formando o óxido SnO2. Essa oxidação ocorreu, provavelmente, durante o processo de secagem dos catalisadores na presença de oxigênio. Os copolímeros PLGA com maiores viscosidades inerentes, ou seja, maiores massas moleculares foram obtidos pelo uso de catalisador CS contendo SnO2 preparado pela adsorção de partículas coloidais de SnCl2.H2O em meio neutro. Foi estimado que as maiores massas moleculares de PLGA foram iguais ou maiores que 35 kDa. Os copolímeros PLGA produzidos apresentaram coloração branca ou levemente amarelada e contaminação por Sn inferior a 1 ppm bem abaixo do limite permitido pela Legislação Brasileira

Um sistema de análises químicas por injeção em fluxo foi desenvolvido e aplicado à determinação espectrofotométrica de baixas concentrações de sulfato em águas de chuva. O método explora a reação de deslocamento entre o ânion sulfato e o complexo dimetilsulfonazo (III) de bário, Ba-DMSA, com consequente formação do sal pouco solúvel BaSO4. A solução com o complexo Ba-DMSA apresenta alta absortividade molar a 656 nm, e uma diminuição pronunciada na absorbância ocorre na presença de sulfato. Desta forma, o sinal analítico é registrado como pico invertido proporcional à concentração de sulfato na amostra. A presença de altas concentrações de dimetilsulfóxido, DMSO, no reagente favorece a intensidade do sinal analítico, por coordenar as moléculas de água, melhorando a sensibilidade do método. A utilização do tensoativo dodecilsulfato de sódio, SDS, determina também uma melhoria considerável na sensibilidade analítica, pois sua presença no ambiente reacional altera as condições de supersaturação. A sensibilidade e seletividade do procedimento são melhoradas incluindo-se uma etapa de troca iônica em linha, com resina aniônica Dowex 1-X8, para concentração do sulfato e separação dos íons interferentes em potencial. O sistema proposto é robusto e fornece resultados precisos (d.p.r. < 0,01) com frequência analítica de 30 determinações por hora. O consumo de DMSA é de 0,17 \'mü\'mol por determinação. A curva analítica se apresenta linear até 2,0 mg L-1 SO42- e os limites de detecção e de quantificação foram estimados em 0,01 mg L-1 SO42- e 0,04 mg L-1 SO42-. / A flow injection system was developed and applied to the spectrophotometric determination of low concentrations of sulphate in rain waters. The method exploits the displacement reaction involving the sulphate anion and the barium dimethylsulfonazo (III) complex, Ba-DMSA, with consequent formation of the slightly soluble BaSO4 salt. As the Ba-DMSA solution is characterized by a high molar absorptivity at 656 nm, a pronounced absorbance lessening is observed in the presence of sulphate. The analytical signal is then recorded as an inverted peak proportional to the sulphate content in the sample. Presence of dimethylsulphoxide, DMSO, at high concentrations in the reaction medium leads to an enhancement of the analytical signals, coordinating water molecules, thus improving the sensitivity of the method. Addition of the surfactant sodium dodecylsulphate, SDS, results also in a pronounced improvement in sensitivity, as its presence in the reaction medium alters the supersaturation conditions. The sensitivity and selectivity of the method were improved by including an in-line ion exchange mini-column with the anionic resin Dowex 1-X8 into the manifold, for sulphate concentration and separation from potential interfering ions. The proposed system is robust and provides accurate results (R.S.D. <0.01) at an analytical frequency of 30 determinations per hour. About 0.17 \'mü\'mol DMSA are consumed per determination. The analytical curve is linear up to 2.0 mg L-1 SO42- and the detection and quantification limits were estimated as 0.01 mg L-1 SO42- and 0.04 mg L-1 SO42-.

This aspect, along with the inadequate treatment of wastes generated by this activity, damages the environment and may consequently affect the population. In this sense, the objective of this study was to evaluate the removal of ciprofloxacin drug (CIP) of aqueous solutions by using the cationic resin SupergelTM SGC650H packed in a fixed bed column. Therefore, the characterization of the resin was performed by techniques of gas helium pycnometer, nitrogen physisorption, X-ray sedimentometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and point of zero charge (pHPZC). Initially, closed system and batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of solution pHinitial. Afterwards, equilibrium experiments were performed. Finally, it was obtained the breakthrough curves in fixed bed in different volumetric flow rates and heights of the bed, defined by a central composite experimental design (CCD) and by using phenomenological mathematical modeling. The characterization demonstrated a low amount of pores on the structure of the resin and the analysis of pHPZC indicated that the point of zero charge of the resin was 2.68. The pH tests showed that the higher CIP removal capacity was achieved at pH values below 6. In the analysis of the equilibrium results, it was verified that the Langmuir model showed the best fit to the experimental data obtained in a closed and batch system, providing the values of 510.64 mg g-1 and 1.93 L mg-1 to qmáx and bL estimated parameters, respectively. In the fixed bed column tests, the maximum efficiency of the column as a function of the studied operational variables was obtained for volumetric flow rate of 3.8 cm3 min-1 and bed height of 15.2 cm (81,5%). In addition, it was observed that the kinetic model that considers the adsorption step on the surface (AS) as rate-limiting step of the process satisfactorily described the results obtained in column. In general, the work was able to identify a high removal capacity the ciprofloxacin drug by using the SGC650H resin. Finally, the study presented satisfactory results in the prediction of column efficiency from the phenomenological mathematical modeling used. With this, a new perspective is observed in the treatment of this drug compound and the possible application of the large-scale method. / A incidência de novas doenças necessita a fabricação de compostos farmacêuticos altamente resistentes e eficazes para a saúde animal e humana. Esse aspecto, aliado ao tratamento inadequado dos resíduos gerados por essa atividade, prejudica o meio ambiente e pode afetar, consequentemente, a população. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a remoção do fármaco ciprofloxacina (CIP) de soluções aquosas utilizando a resina catiônica SupergelTM SGC650H empacotada em coluna de leito fixo. Para tanto, a caracterização da resina foi realizada pelas técnicas de picnometria a gás hélio, fisissorção de nitrogênio, sedimentometria de raios X, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), espectroscopia de energia dispersiva de raios X (EDX) e ponto de carga zero (pHPCZ). Inicialmente, foram realizados experimentos em sistema fechado e batelada para avaliar o efeito do pHinicial da solução. Após isso, realizaram-se os experimentos de equilíbrio. Por fim, foram obtidas as curvas de ruptura em leito fixo sob diferentes vazões volumétricas e alturas do leito, definidas a partir de um planejamento experimental do tipo delineamento composto central rotacional (DCCR) e utilizando modelagem matemática fenomenológica. A caracterização apresentou baixa quantidade de poros na estrutura da resina e a análise do pHPCZ indicou que o ponto de carga zero da resina foi 2,68. Os testes de pH mostraram que a maior capacidade de remoção da CIP foi alcançada para valores de pH abaixo de 6. Na análise dos resultados de equilíbrio, foi possível verificar que o modelo de Langmuir foi o que melhor se ajustou aos dados experimentais obtidos em sistema fechado e batelada, fornecendo os valores de 510,64 mg g-1 e 1,93 L mg-1 para os parâmetros qmáx e bL, respectivamente. Nos ensaios em coluna de leito fixo, a maximização da eficiência da coluna em função de suas variáveis testadas, foi obtida para vazão volumétrica de 3,8 cm3 min-1 e altura do leito de 15,2 cm (81,5%). Paralelamente, notou-se que o modelo cinético que considera a etapa de adsorção na superfície (AS) como limitante do processo, conseguiu descrever de forma satisfatória os resultados obtidos em coluna. De forma geral, o trabalho conseguiu identificar uma alta capacidade de remoção do fármaco ciprofloxacina com a utilização da resina SGC650H. Além disso, apresentou resultados satisfatórios na previsão da eficiência da coluna a partir da modelagem matemática fenomenológica utilizada. Com isso, observa-se uma nova perspectiva no tratamento deste composto fármaco e a possível aplicação do método em larga escala.

Diferentes metodologias de determinação de fósforo no solo (P total, Bray 1, Mehlich 1, Mehlich 3, Olsen modificado, Resina de troca iônica, H3A-1 modificado e H3A-2 modificado) foram avaliadas e calibradas para seu uso em três distintas ordens de solos (Andisols, Inceptisols e Ultisols) coletados em diferentes lugares da Costa Rica. Aos resultados das análises de P e às outras variáveis químicas dos solos foram aplicadas análises de correlação, nas quais resaltam o teor de Ca, Mg e Al como fatores relacionados ao P recuperado pelos diferentes extratores. Entre os resultados destacam as calibrações de uma modificação nas metodologias H3A-1 e H3A-2 com a resposta das plantas de arroz, metodologias que tinham sido testadas unicamente contra os resultados de outros extratores. Ao nível geral as metodologias Olsen modificada e à resina de troca iônica apresentaram-se como os extratores mais adequados quando não se faz distinção por tipo de solo ou ordem, mas foram encontradas diferenças no comportamento dos diferentes métodos de extração segundo o tipo de solo, podendo variar a conveniência de utilizar um método ou outro. Em geral as metodologias P total, Bray 1 e Mehlich 1 foram as que representaram em menor medida a resposta das plantas de arroz à condição de P nos solos do experimento de calibração. As metodologias de avaliação de P apresentaram correlação entre si, apresentando também variações se avaliadas para uma condição geral (todos os solos) ou diferenciando por ordens. / Different soil phosphorus extraction methodologies (total phosphorus, Bray 1, Mehlich 1, Mehlich 3, modified Olsen, ion exchange resin, modified H3A-1 and modified H3A-2) were assessed and calibrated to evaluate its suitability to determinate the plant available phosphorus in different Costa Rican soils (Andisols, Inceptisols and Ultisols). The phosphorus results of these analyses were correlated against other soil chemical characteristics like pH, Ca, Mg and Al, in order to determinate which of these characteristics are related to the soil phosphorus content determined by the different extractants, were founded correlations of P with Al, Ca and Mg. As a results are presented for the first time the calibrations of the methodologies H3A-1 and H3A-2 (a modification) against phosphorus plant absorption and relative plant yield. In general conditions (all the soil orders) the modified Olsen method and the ion exchange resin method, resulted in better correlations with plant responses, therefore its seems to be the more suitable methods in this conditions. The analysis of the data by soil order, demonstrate some differences among extractants, that suggest the selective use of the methodologies and interpretation of results in accordance with soil order. In general total P, Bray 1 and Mehlich 1 were the less reliable methods to represent the rice plants response to the condition of soil phosphorus in this greenhouse calibration. Some of the assessed phosphorus methodologies present correlation among themselves, in both conditions (all soil orders in a group, or fractionated by soil order).

La canne à sucre est une plante sucrière dont le jus contient des molécules naturelles pouvant être valorisées comme l’acide aconitique. Cet acide, présent en grande quantité dans le jus de canne, se retrouve tout au long du procédé sucrier et dans les co-produits issus de cette industrie. Dans le cadre du projet V2ARUN, il a été envisagé d’extraire l’acide aconitique à partir d’un des co-produits issus de l’industrie de sucrière de La Réunion. La précipitation, l’extraction liquide-liquide et les résines échangeuses d’ions sont les trois techniques d’extraction envisageables pour récupérer l’acide aconitique à partir de mélasse ou de vinasse issues de l’industrie sucrière réunionnaise. Suite à une comparaison de ces trois techniques d’extraction, il a été choisi de récupérer l’acide aconitique par chromatographie sur résines échangeuses d’ions à partir de vinasse de distillerie, car ce co-produit n’est pas encore valorisé à La Réunion. Deux résines anioniques ont été retenues pour cette extraction. Après avoir identifié les mécanismes de fixation de différents acides carboxyliques sur ces résines en réacteur agité, des essais sur colonne ont été réalisés et une proposition de procédé d’extraction d’acide aconitique à partir de vinasse sur une résine faiblement anionique a été élaborée. / Sugar cane juice contains lot of natural molecules which can be recovered, such as saccharose or carboxylic acids. The aconitic acid, which is the predominant molecule besides sugar, is found throughout sugar process and into by-products from sugar cane industry of La Reunion Island, has been considered. Precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction and ion exchange resins are three possible extraction process to recover carboxylic acid from molasse and distillery stillage (vinasse) coming from La Reunion sugar industry. After studying this three extraction process, the choice has been made to recover aconitic acid from vinasse by ion exchange resins. This by-product has been chosen because it is still not promoted in La Reunion Island. Amongst height ion exchange resins tested, two anionic resins showed better performance to recover aconitic acid from this by-product. The fixation mechanisms of different carboxylic acids onto those two resins have been identified using aqueous solutions of lactic, malic, citric and aconitic acids. Some column experiments of aconitic acid extraction from sugarcane vinasse have been done on laboratory scale with the two anionic resins and on semi-industrial scale with the weakly anionic resin. Finally, a complete aconitic acid extraction process has been proposed.

La production mondiale de solvants représente environ 28 millions de tonnes, dont 5 millions en Europe. L’industrie des peintures et des revêtements en est la principale consommatrice (46 % des solvants produits). Dans ce domaine, les solvants les plus utilisés sont l'acétate d'éthyle, l'acétate de butyle et la méthyl éthyl cétone. Ces molécules sont actuellement synthétisées industriellement à partir de substrats d’origine pétrochimique en présence de catalyseurs homogènes et dans des conditions énergivores. Afin de réduire l’impact environnemental des peintures et revêtements, la substitution de ces solvants issus du pétrole par leurs équivalents bio sourcés a été étudiée dans le cadre du projet européen ECOBIOFOR (FP7/2007-2013/Grant Agreement no 605215), dans lequel se sont inscrits ces travaux de thèse. Ainsi, l’objectif de cette thèse a été de développer, à partir de synthons renouvelables, des procédés de production de ces trois solvants simples à mettre en oeuvre, peu coûteux et respectueux des principes de la chimie verte. Pour la production des acétates d’éthyle et de butyle, deux voies de synthèse ont été étudiées en présence d’une résine échangeuse d'ions comme catalyseur hétérogène. La première voie utilise de l'acide acétique et l’alcool biosourcé correspondant (éthanol ou le butan-1-ol); la seconde met en jeu l’anhydride acétique à la place de l’acide acétique. Dans ces synthèses, quatre résines ont été testées. Des études cinétiques et thermodynamiques ont permis de choisir la résine la plus performante et les conditions de réaction les plus adaptées. Cette étude a finalement permis de proposer un procédé de coproduction des deux acétates efficace et innovant dans lequel la purification des acétates est facilitée, la production de déchets et coproduits est réduite et le recyclage de la résine est possible. L'évaluation des performances des acétates synthétisés dans des formulations de laques nitrocellulosiques et de vernis polyuréthanes a permis de montrer que ces molécules répondent au cahier des charges en terme de séchage, viscosité, formation de film, brillance et adhérence. Enfin, le bénéfice environnemental du processus de coproduction a été mis en évidence par le calcul des métriques de la chimie verte et l'analyse du cycle de vie des esters produits. De plus, l'influence de l'origine des alcools, biosourcés ou pétrochimiques, sur l’impact environnemental a été évaluée. L’impact sur le changement climatique est réduit avec l’utilisation des synthons bio-sourcés. Pour la synthèse de la méthyl éthyl cétone, nous avons décidé d’étudier la réaction de décarboxylation de l’acide lévulinique, molécule plateforme biosourcée disponible et peu coûteuse. Contrairement au principal procédé industriel qui repose sur la déshydrogénation du butan-2-ol d'origine fossile, la méthode développée dans ces travaux utilise des conditions plus respectueuses de l’environnement puisqu’elle est réalisée dans l’eau en présence de persulfate de potassium et d’un sel d'argent à une température raisonnable (100°C). L'évaluation du rôle de chacun des réactifs a permis de proposer un mécanisme réactionnel complexe de cette synthèse. L'étude de l’évolution des espèces en phase solide réalisés par diverses analyses spectroscopiques (RMN du solide, DRX, XPS, AES et MEB) a permis de mettre en évidence les espèces impliquées dans la décarboxylation et finalement de proposer une méthode permettant d’obtenir des conversions et des rendements élevés. / Global solvent production accounts for about 28 million tonnes, including 5 million tonnes in Europe. The paint and coating industry is the main consumer (46% of the solvents produced). In this sector, the most used solvents are ethyl acetate, butyl acetate and methyl ethyl ketone. These molecules are currently synthesized industrially from petrochemical substrates in the presence of homogeneous catalysts and under energy-consuming conditions. In order to reduce the environmental impact of paints and coatings, the substitution of these fossil-based solvents by their bio-based equivalents has been studied in the framework of the European project ECOBIOFOR (FP7/2007-2013/Grant Agreement no 605215), in which this thesis work was inscribed. Thus, the objective of this thesis was to develop production processes for these three solvents that would start from renewable synthons and would be simple to implement, inexpensive and respectful of the principles of green chemistry. For the production of ethyl and butyl acetates, two synthetic routes have been studied in the presence of an ion exchange resin as a heterogeneous catalyst. The first route uses acetic acid and the corresponding bio-based alcohol (ethanol or butan-1-ol); the second involves acetic anhydride instead of acetic acid. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies have led to select the most efficient resin and the most suitable reaction conditions. This study has finally allowed to propose an efficient and innovative coproduction process for the two targeted acetates in which their purification is facilitated, the production of waste and co-products is reduced and the recycling of the resin is possible. The evaluation of the performance of the synthesized acetates in nitrocellulose lacquer and polyurethane varnish formulations has shown that these molecules meet the specifications in terms of drying, viscosity, film formation, gloss and adhesion. Finally, the environmental benefit of the co-production process was highlighted by the calculation of green metrics and the life cycle assessment (LCA) of the produced esters. Furthermore, the influence of the origin of alcohols (bio-based or petrochemical) on the environmental impact was evaluated. The impact on climate change is reduced through the use of bio-sourced synthons. For the synthesis of methyl ethyl ketone, we decided to study the decarboxylation reaction of levulinic acid, which is a bio-based platform molecule available and inexpensive. Unlike the main industrial process, which relies on the dehydrogenation of butan-2-ol from fossil origin, the method developed in this work uses conditions that are more respectful of the environment since the reaction is carried out in water in the presence of potassium persulfate and a silver salt at a moderate temperature (100°C). The evaluation of the role of each of the reagents allowed us to propose a complex reaction mechanism for this reaction. The study of the evolution of the solid phase species carried out through various spectroscopic analyzes (SSNMR, XRD, XPS, AES and SEM) made it possible to highlight the species involved in the decarboxylation and finally to propose a method to obtain high conversions and yields.
