O presente trabalho realizou um estudo sobre a remo??o de 15 HPA em ?gua produzida utilizando sistema microemulsionado. Para isso, foi desenvolvido um diagrama de fases pseudotern?rio constitu?do por ?gua produzida enriquecida com HPA, como fase aquosa (FA), n-hexano como fase oleosa (FO) e n-butanol e CTAB como cotensoativo (C) e tensoativo (T), respectivamente, a uma raz?o C/T = 4. A partir da constru??o do diagrama foi escolhido um ponto com uma alta porcentagem de FA para testar o tratamento, na regi?o de interesse, Winsor II (WII). Esse ponto (90% FA, 5% FO e 5% C/T) foi avaliado de duas maneiras: utilizando um precursor da forma??o de microemuls?o, utilizando como FA a ?gua produzida obtida e a mat?ria ativa (C/T) para a obten??o da microemuls?o formada nesse ponto, e a pr?pria microemuls?o obtida nesse ponto. A avalia??o qualitativa, realizada por meio de espectroscopia de fluoresc?ncia, mostrou que houve tratamento da ?gua produzida para ambos os m?todos, por?m, a avalia??o quantitativa, realizada por meio de cromatografia l?quida de alta efici?ncia com detector de fluoresc?ncia (HPLC-FLD), mostrou que a extra??o utilizando a microemuls?o foi mais eficiente. Com isso, foi realizado um planejamento experimental simplex centr?ide para que o estudo da influ?ncia das fases fosse mensurado e, assim, fosse poss?vel identificar o ponto ?timo de extra??o. As amostras foram analisadas por HPLC-FLD e seus resultados mostraram que cada HPA apresentou uma superf?cie de resposta diferente, por?m todos apresentaram um m?ximo de extra??o no ponto de microemuls?o com a composi??o 90% FA, 5% FO e 5% C/T. Esse resultado mostra que essa t?cnica ? promissora para o tratamento da ?gua produzida na remo??o de HPA, constituindo-se em uma alternativa para o tratamento desse rejeito. / Produced water is the largest volume of disposal fluids generated during the production and processing of petroleum and natural gas and its composition can contain several toxic compounds, among them are the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), whose presence causes harmful effects to the environment. This paper discusses a study on the removal of 15 PAH in produced water using a microemulsion system. For this, it was developed a pseudo-ternary phase diagram consisting of produced water enriched with PAH, as the aqueous phase (AP), n-hexane as oily phase (OP) and n-butanol and CTAB as cosurfactant (C) and surfactant (T), respectively, to a right C/T = 4. From the diagram's construction was chosen a spot with a high percentage of AP to test the treatment in the region of interest, Winsor II (WII). This spot (90% AP, 5%C/T and 5% OP) was evaluated in two ways: using a precursor of microemulsion formation only with the AP and the active matter and microemulsion formed at that point, by adding the OP. The qualitative assessment, carried out by means of fluorescence spectroscopy, showed that there was water treatment for both methods, however, the quantitative assessment, carried out by means of high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD), showed that extraction using microemulsion was more efficient. With that, it was performed an simplex centroid experimental planning for the study of the influence of the phases and, thus, it was possible to identify the best point of extraction. The samples were analyzed by HPLC-FLD and its results showed that each PAH presented a different response surface, but all of them showed a maximum extraction at the point with microemulsion composition of 90% AP, 5% C/T and 5% OP. This result shows that this technique is promising for the treatment of produced water in removing HPA, constituting an alternative to the treatment of this reject.

Devido a elevada taxa de rea??o entre o ?cido clor?drico (HCl) e a forma??o, o HCl ? todo consumido na regi?o da forma??o pr?xima ao po?o de maneira que as zonas mais profundas n?o s?o alcan?adas e as regi?es de dano podem n?o ser ultrapassadas. Diversos sistemas foram desenvolvidos para retardar a rea??o de dissolu??o, incluindo a utiliza??o de ?cidos org?nicos, sistemas viscosos e emulsionados. Contudo, poucos estudos reportam a utiliza??o de sistemas microemulsionados como sistemas retardados. Neste trabalho foram estudados sistemas microemulsionados ?cidos do tipo ?leo em ?gua para aplica??o em acidifica??o de carbonatos e limpeza de po?o. O trabalho foi dividido em duas etapas principais, sendo elas: a obten??o e caracteriza??o dos sistemas; e a avalia??o da efici?ncia realizando experimentos de inje??o em plugues de rocha carbon?tica. Para formula??o dos sistemas microemulsionados, dois ?cidos foram utilizados: o ?cido clor?drico (HCl); e o ?cido etilenodiamino tetra-ac?tico (EDTA). O tensoativo utilizado foi o ALK L90 (n?o i?nico), o sec-butanol como co-tensoativo e o xileno como componente org?nico. Foram obtidos sistemas microemulsionados ?cidos com HCl e com EDTA. Os resultados mostraram que a adi??o de ?cidos em determinadas condi??es promove a transi??o de fases dos sistemas de microemuls?o. Os ensaios de inje??o mostraram que os sistemas microemulsionados ?cidos propostos foram eficientes em estimular os plugues de forma??o carbon?tica, alcan?ando incrementos na permeabilidade entre 10-30%, sem apresentar dissolu??o na face e formando wormholes. / One of the challenges in acidification of wells in carbonate formations is controlling the dissolution reaction of calcium carbonate. Due to the high rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the rock formation, the HCl is all consumed close to the wellbore region. In this way, the deeper areas are not reached and the damage regions may not be exceeded. Several systems have been developed to retard the dissolution reaction, including the use of organic acids, viscous emulsion systems, and the use of chelating agents. However, few studies have reported the use of microemulsion systems as retarded acid systems. In this work, oil in water acid microemulsions are studied for use in carbonate acidizing. The work was divided into two main stages. The first stage was the obtaining and the characterizing of the systems and the second one was the efficiency evaluation by performing injection experiments in carbonate cores. Two microemulsion systems were obtained, one using the hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the second using the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), a chelating agent. The surfactant used was the ALK-L90 (non-ionic), sec-butanol was used as a co-surfactant, and xylene as the organic component. The results showed that the addition of the HCl or chelating agent promotes the transition of the phase of microemulsion system. Wettability studies showed that the microemulsion systems obtained have a greater power of interaction with the carbonate than the aqueous solutions and also the microemulsion systems without addition of HCl or EDTA. The coreflood experiments showed that the microemulsion systems obtained were effective in stimulating the carbonate cores, achieving increases in permeability up to 86% without showing core face dissolution. The HCl and EDTA corrosiveness in microemulsion media was 80% less than in the aqueous solution. The microemulsion systems obtained can be a promising candidate to use as alternative fluids to carbonate stimulation.

It happens due to modifications in the thermodynamic variables that alter the solubility of alkanes fractions present in petroleum. The deposition of paraffin can provoke significant and growing petroleum losses, arriving to block the flow, hindering to the production. This process is associated with the phases equilibrium L-S and the stages and nucleation, growth and agglomeration the crystals. That process is function of petroleum intrinsic characteristics and temperature and pressure variations, during production. Several preventive and corrective methods are used to control the paraffin crystallization, such as: use of chemical inhibitors, hot solvents injection, use of termochemistry reactions, and mechanical removal. But for offshore exploration this expensive problem needs more investigation. Many studies have been carried through Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT) of paraffin; therefore the formed crystals are responsible for the modification of the reologics properties of the oil, causing a lot off operational problems. From the determination of the WAT of a system it is possible to affirm if oil presents or not trend to the formation of organic deposits, making possible to foresee and to prevent problems of wax crystallization. The solvent n-paraffin has been widely used as fluid of perforation, raising the production costs when it is used in the removal paraffin deposits, needing an operational substitute. This study aims to determine the WAT of paraffin and the interference off additives in its reduction, being developed system paraffin/solvent/surfactant that propitiates the wax solubilization. Crystallization temperatures in varied paraffin concentrations and different solvents were established in the first stage of the experiments. In the second stage, using the methodology of variation of the photoelectric signal had been determined the temperature of crystallization of the systems and evaluated the interferences of additives to reduction of the WAT. The experimental results are expressed in function of the variations of the photoelectric signals during controlled cooling, innovating and validating this new methodology to determine WAT, relatively simple with relation the other applied that involve specific equipments and of high cost. Through the curves you differentiate of the results had been also identified to the critical stages of growth and agglomeration of the crystals that represent to the saturation of the system, indicating difficulties of flow due to the increase of the density / A forma??o de dep?sito paraf?nico ? comum na ind?stria do petr?leo durante as etapas de produ??o, movimenta??o e tratamento e ocorre em decorr?ncia de modifica??es nas vari?veis termodin?micas que alteram a solubilidade das fra??es de alcanos presentes no petr?leo. A cristaliza??o de parafinas pode provocar significativas e crescentes perdas de petr?leo, chegando a bloquear o fluxo, impedindo ? produ??o. Esse processo est? associado ao equil?brio de fases L-S e as etapas de nuclea??o, crescimento e aglomera??o dos cristais. Existem v?rios m?todos preventivos e corretivos para controlar a cristaliza??o de parafinas, dentre os quais se destacam: o uso de inibidores qu?micos, a inje??o de solventes aquecidos, o emprego de rea??es termoqu?micas e a remo??o mec?nica, por?m quanto ? explora??o offshore pouco se conhece, tornando-se indispens?vel investigar este custoso problema. Muitos estudos t?m sido realizados quanto ? temperatura de in?cio do aparecimento dos cristais (TIAC) da parafina, pois os cristais formados s?o respons?veis pela modifica??o das propriedades reol?gicas do petr?leo, causando diversos problemas operacionais. A partir da determina??o da TIAC de um sistema ? poss?vel afirmar se um petr?leo apresenta ou n?o tend?ncia ? forma??o de dep?sitos org?nicos, possibilitando prever e evitar problemas de cristaliza??o paraf?nica.

A Crisina (CS) ? atualmente comercializada como suplemento diet?tico e, como outros flavonoides, tamb?m exibe diversos efeitos farmacol?gicos, dentre os quais est?o a atividade antinociceptiva e anti-inflamat?ria. Entretanto, sua efic?cia tem sido limitada devido ? sua baixa biodisponibilidade oral. As microemuls?es (ME) s?o sistemas de libera??o modificada definidos como sistemas termodinamicamente est?veis e isotropicamente transl?cidos de dois l?quidos imisc?veis, usualmente ?gua e ?leo, estabilizados por um filme interfacial de tensoativo, e quando necess?rio um cotensoativo. Estes sistemas possuem a capacidade de solubilizar compostos hidrof?bicos, melhorar absor??o, biodisponibilidade e estabilidade, incrementar a efic?cia e reduzir a toxicidade de f?rmacos incorporados. O objetivo deste trabalho foi a obten??o, caracteriza??o de um sistema microemulsionado para incorpora??o da CS e avalia??o da atividade antinociceptiva desse. A formula??o obtida atrav?s de um diagrama de fase tern?rio foi caracterizada f?sico-quimicamente quanto ao pH, condutividade e ?ndice de refra??o. Suas caracter?sticas estruturais e morfol?gicas foram analisadas atrav?s de espalhamento de luz din?mica (DLS) e microscopia de luz polarizada (MLP). Enquanto, a estabilidade da formula??o foi avaliada atrav?s dos estudos de estresse por centrifuga??o, aquecimento-resfriamento e congelamento-descongelamento. O perfil de libera??o in vitro foi determinado utilizando o modelo de c?lulas de Franz. A avalia??o analg?sica foi realizada atrav?s de um teste comportamental que avalia o aumento do limiar de for?a sobre a pata dos camundongos para analisar o reflexo de retirada atrav?s de um analges?metro. Al?m da determina??o da capacidade de preven??o da forma??o de citocinas inflamat?rias avaliadas atrav?s de ELISA imunoensaio. Para isso foi administrada 30 minutos ap?s a indu??o por carragenina a dose de 25mg/kg de CS e MECS. A ME desenvolvida ? constitu?da por 5 % de miristato de isopropila, 55 % de ?gua e 40 % de LAS?, e apresentou pH compat?vel com a administra??o via oral, condutividade condizente com sistemas ?leo em ?gua, al?m de comportamento isotr?pico. A distribui??o de tamanho de got?culas foi do tipo monomodal e homog?neo, com tamanhos m?dios de got?culas de 170,7 ? 5,3 e 158,9 ? 26,7 nm, e potencial zeta negativo de -16,1 ? 1,9 e -10 ? 2,1, para formula??es com e sem CS, respectivamente. A ME mostrou-se est?vel frente aos estresses t?rmicos e por centrifuga??o. A libera??o in vitro da MECS obedeceu ao modelo cin?tico de ordem zero e preveniu a forma??o de citocinas inflamat?rias (redu??o de TNF ? e aumento de IL-10, p<0,01), al?m de apresentar atividade antinociceptiva no modelo de hiperalgesia induzida por carragenina (p<0,001). Portanto, p?de-se concluir que a veicula??o da CS atrav?s de um sistema microemulsionado mostrou-se como uma alternativa interessante para expandir o uso desse flavonoide como um f?rmaco no tratamento da dor inflamat?ria. / Chrysin (5,7-Dihydroxyflavone) belongs to the flavone class of flavonoids. It is found naturally in honey, propolis and various plant species, including species of the gender Pelargonium, Passiflora and the family Pinaceae. Chrysin (CS) is currently marketed as a dietary supplement and, like other flavonoids, also exhibits several pharmacological effects, among which are antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity. However, its efficacy has been limited because of its low oral bioavailability. Microemulsions (ME) are modified release systems defined as thermodynamically stable and isotropic translucent systems of two immiscible liquids, usually water and oil, stabilized by an interfacial surfactant film, and often a co-surfactant. ME systems have the ability to solubilize hydrophobic compounds, enhance absorption, bioavailability and stability, enhance efficacy, and reduce the toxicity of incorporated drugs. The aim of this work was the development, characterization and evaluation of the antinociceptive activity of a ME system containing CS. The formulation obtained through a ternary phase diagram was physic-chemically characterized for pH, conductivity and refractive index. Its structural and morphological characteristics were analyzed through dynamic light scattering (DLS) and polarized light microscopy (MLP). Meanwhile, the stability of the formulation was evaluated through centrifugal stress, heating-cooling and freeze-thaw studies. The in vitro release profile was determined using the Franz cell model. The analgesic evaluation was performed through a behavioral test that evaluates the increase of the force threshold on the paw of the mice to analyze the withdrawal reflex through an analgesimeter. In addition, it was determined the ability to prevent the formation of inflammatory cytokines evaluated by ELISA immunoassay. A dose of 25 mg/kg of CS and MECS was administered 30 minutes after carrageenan-induced inflammation. The developed ME consists of 5% isopropyl myristate, 55% water and 40% LAS?, and presented pH compatible with oral administration, conductivity consistent with oil-in-water systems, as well as isotropic behavior. The droplet size distribution was of the monomodal and homogeneous type, with mean droplet sizes of 170.7 ? 5.3 and 158.9 ? 26.7 nm, and negative zeta potential of -16.1 ? 1.9 and -10 ? 2.1, for formulations with and without CS, respectively. ME was stable during the thermal stresses and centrifugation. The in vitro release of MECS followed the zero order kinetic model and prevented the formation of inflammatory cytokines (reduction of TNF? and increase of IL-10, p<0.01), as well as antinociceptive activity in carrageenan-induced inflammation model (p<0.001). Therefore, CS delivery through a microemulsion system proved to be an interesting alternative to expand the use of this flavonoid as a drug in the treatment of inflammatory pain.

Acidizing is one of the most important operations of well stimulation, consist in inject acid solutions in the formation under fracture formation pressure. Acidizing have like main purpose remove near wellbore damage, caused by drilling or workover operations, can be use in sandstones and in carbonate formations. A critical step in acidizing operation is the control of acid-formation reaction. The high kinetic rate of this reaction, promotes the consumed of the acid in region near well, causing that the acid treatment not achive the desired distance. In this way, the damage zone can not be bypassed. The main objective of this work was obtain stable systems resistant to the different conditions found in field application, evaluate the kinetic of calcite dissolution in microemulsion systems and simulate the injection of this systems by performing experiments in plugs. The systems were obtained from two non ionic surfactants, Unitol L90 and Renex 110, with sec-butanol and n-butanol like cosurfactants. The oily component of the microemlsion was xilene and kerosene. The acqueous component was a solution of HCl 15-26,1%. The results shown that the microemulsion systems obtained were stable to temperature until 100?C, high calcium concentrations, salinity until 35000 ppm and HCl concentrations until 25%. The time for calcite dissolution in microemulsion media was 14 times slower than in aqueous HCl 15%. The simulation in plugs showed that microemulsion systems promote a distributed flux and promoted longer channels. The permeability enhancement was between 177 - 890%. The results showed that the microemulsion systems obtained have potential to be applied in matrix acidizing / As opera??es de estimula??o s?o opera??es realizadas com a finalidade de restaurar ou melhorar o ?ndice de produ??o ou inje??o dos po?os. Dentre as opera??es de estimula??o, destaca-se a opera??o de acidifica??o, que consiste na inje??o de solu??es ?cidas na forma??o, com press?o abaixo da press?o de fratura da forma??o. A acidifica??o tem como principal objetivo remover danos causados nas etapas de perfura??o e/ou workover, podendo ser realizada tanto em arenitos quanto em carbonatos. Um dos pontos mais cr?ticos da opera??o de acidifica??o ? o controle da rea??o ?cido-rocha, pois a elevada velocidade da rea??o faz com que o ?cido seja todo consumido na regi?o pr?xima ao po?o, fazendo com que o tratamento ?cido n?o atinja a dist?ncia desejada. Dessa maneira, as regi?es com dano podem n?o ser ultrapassadas.

Utilizaram-se sistemas microemulsionados obtidos a partir dos tensoativos Renex 110, Unitol L90 e o OMS (?leo de mamona saponificado). Foram utilizandos o sec-butanol e o n-butanol como cotensoativos. Como componentes org?nicos foram utilizados o xileno e o querosene e como componente aquoso foram utilizadas solu??es de HCl variando-se a concentra??o de 15-26,1%.

Due to the complexity of the transformation process, greater quantities of chemicals are being used which results in the generation of effluents with residual solids. The chromium in the residual waters generated by tanning tend to be a serious problem to the environment, therefore the recovery of this metal could result in the reduction of manufacturing costs. This metal is usually found in a trivalent form which can be converted into a hexavalent compound under acidic conditions and in the presence of organic matter. The present study was carried out with the objective to recover chromium through an extraction/re-extraction process using micro emulsions. Micro emulsions are transparent and thermodynamically stable system composed of two immiscible liquids, one forming the continuous phase and the other dispersed into micro bubbles, established by an interfacial membrane formed by surface active and co-surface active molecules. The process of recovering the chromium was carried out in two stages. The first, an extraction process, where the chromium was extracted in the micro emulsion phase and the aqueous phase in excess was separated. In the second stage, a concentrated acid was added to the micro emulsion phase rich in chromium in order to obtain a Winsor II system, where the water that formed in the micro emulsion phase separates into a new micro emulsion phase with a higher concentration of chromium, due to the lowering of the hydrophiles as well as the ionisation of the system. During the experimental procedure, a study was initiated with a synthetic solution of chromium sulphate passing onto the effluent. A Morris extractor was used in the extraction process. Tests were carried out according to the plan and the results were analysed by statistical methods in order to optimise the main parameters that influence the process: the total rate of flow (Q), stirring speed (w) and solvent rate (r). The results, after optimization, demonstrated that the best percentuals in relation to the chromium extraction (99 %) were obtained in the following operational conditions: Q= 2,0 l/h, w= 425 rpm and r= 0,375. The re-extraction was carried out at room temperature (28 ?C), 40 ?C and 50?C using hydrochloric acid (8 and 10 M) and sulphuric acid (8 M) as re-extracting agents. The results obtained demonstrate that the process was efficient enough in relation to the chromium extraction, reaching to re-extraction percentage higher than 95 %. / Os Curtumes s?o ind?strias que transformam peles em couro. Devido a complexidade do processo de transforma??o s?o utilizadas grandes quantidades de agentes qu?micos e gerados grandes volumes de efluentes e res?duos s?lidos. O cromo presente nas ?guas residu?rias geradas pelos curtumes constitui um s?rio problema ambiental e sua recupera??o poder? representar uma redu??o nos custos do processo. Normalmente encontra-se na forma trivalente podendo ser convertido a cromo hexavalente sob condi??es ?cidas e na presen?a de mat?ria org?nica. Este estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de recuperar o cromo atrav?s de um processo de extra??o/reextra??o utilizando microemuls?es. As microemuls?es s?o sistemas transparentes, termodinamicamente est?veis, constitu?dos por dois l?quidos imisc?veis, um formando a fase cont?nua e o outro disperso na forma de microgot?culas, estabilizadas por uma membrana interfacial formada por mol?culas de tensoativo e cotensoativo. O processo de recupera??o do cromo ocorre em duas etapas. Na primeira, a extra??o, o cromo ? extra?do para a fase microemuls?o e a fase aquosa em excesso ? separada. A segunda etapa, ? realizada adicionando-se a fase microemuls?o, rica em cromo, um ?cido concentrado visando a obten??o de um sistema Winsor II, em que parte da ?gua que formava a fase microemuls?o, devido a diminui??o da hidrofilia e ioniza??o do sistema, se desloca formando uma nova fase aquosa, mais concentrada em cromo. Durante o procedimento experimental, iniciou-se o estudo com uma solu??o sint?tica de sulfato de cromo passando-se, em seguida, ao efluente. No processo de extra??o do cromo em escala semi-piloto utilizou-se o extrator Morris. Os ensaios foram efetuados seguindo um planejamento experimental e os resultados obtidos foram analisados, atrav?s de m?todos estat?sticos, visando a otimiza??o dos principais par?metros que influenciam no processo: vaz?o total (Q), velocidade de agita??o (w) e taxa de solvente (r). Os resultados obtidos, ap?s a otimiza??o, demonstraram que os maiores percentuais de extra??o (99 %) s?o obtidos nas seguintes condi??es operacionais: Q=2,0 l/h, w= 425 rpm e r= 0,375. A reextra??o foi realizada a temperatura ambiente (28 ?C) e a 40?C e 50?C utilizando-se como agente reextratante ?cido clor?drico (8 e 10 M) e ?cido sulf?rico (8 M). Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que o processo foi eficiente com rela??o ao cromo, obtendo-se percentuais de reextra??o acima de 95%

The adsorption technology has been used as an effective methodology to remove metallic ions. The search for new adsorbents motivated the development of this research, accomplished with the purpose of removing Cr (III) from aqueous solutions. Diatomite, chitosan, Filtrol 24TM and active carbon were used as adsorbents. To modify the adsorbent surface was used a bicontinuous microemulsion composed by water (25%), kerosene (25%), saponified coconut oil (10%) and as co-surfactant isoamyl or butyl alcohols (40%). With the objective of developing the best operational conditions the research started with the surfactant synthesis and after that the pseudo-ternary diagrams were plotted. It was decided to use the system composed with isoamyl alcohol as co-surfactant due its smallest solubility in water. The methodology to impregnate the microemulsion on the adsorbents was developed and to prepare each sample was used 10 g of adsorbent and 20 mL of microemulsion. The effect of drying time and temperature was evaluated and the best results were obtained with T = 65 ?C and t = 48 h. After evaluating the efficiency of the tested adsorbents it was decided to use chitosan and diatomite. The influence of the agitation speed, granule size, heavy metal synthetic solution concentration, pH, contact time between adsorbent and metal solution, presence or not of NaCl and others metallic ions in the solution (copper and nickel) were evaluated. The adsorption isotherms were obtained and Freundlich and Langmuir models were tested. The last one correlated better the data. With the purpose to evaluate if using a surfactant solution would supply similar results, the adsorbent surface was modified with this solution. It was verified that the adsorbent impregnated with a microemulsion was more effective than the one with a surfactant solution, showing that the organic phase (kerosene) was important in the heavy metal removal process. It was studied the desorption process and verified that the concentrated minerals acids removed the chromium from the adsorbent surface better than others tested solutions. The treatment showed to be effective, being obtained an increase of approximately 10% in the chitosan s adsorption capacity (132 mg of Cr3+ / g adsorbent), that was already quite efficient, and for diatomite, that was not capable to remove the metal without the microemulsion treatment, it was obtained a capacity of 10 mg of Cr3+ / g adsorbent, checking the applied treatment effectiveness / Os metais pesados s?o utilizados em muitos processos industriais e, quando descartados ao meio ambiente, podem ocasionar efeitos prejudiciais aos seres vivos. O processo de adsor??o vem sendo utilizado como metodologia eficaz para a remo??o de ?ons met?licos. A busca por novos adsorventes motivou o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, realizado com o objetivo de remover Cr (III) de solu??es aquosas. Utilizou-se como adsorventes: diatomita, quitosana, Filtrol 24TM e carv?o ativo. Empregou-se como agente modificador dos adsorventes uma microemuls?o bicont?nua composta de ?gua (25 %), querosene (25 %), ?leo de coco saponificado (10 %) e cotensoativo (?lcool isoam?lico ou but?lico, 40 %). Com o objetivo de obter as melhores condi??es operacionais partiu-se da obten??o do tensoativo e obteve-se os diagramas pseudotern?rios. Resolveu-se empregar o sistema contendo o ?lcool isoam?lico devido sua menor solubilidade em ?gua. Desenvolveu-se a t?cnica de impregna??o da microemuls?o sobre os adsorventes e, para o preparo de cada amostra, empregou-se 10 g de adsorvente e 20 mL de microemuls?o. Avaliou-se o efeito do tempo de secagem e da temperatura, obtendo-se os melhores resultados com T = 65 ?C e t = 48 h. Ap?s avaliar a efici?ncia dos adsorventes testados resolveu-se utilizar a quitosana e a diatomita e avaliou-se a influ?ncia da velocidade de agita??o, granulometria, concentra??o, pH, presen?a de outros c?tions met?licos (cobre e n?quel) e NaCl na solu??o e o tempo de contato do adsorvente com a solu??o de metal. Obteve-se as isotermas de adsor??o e testou-se os modelos de Freundlich e Langmuir, que correlacionou melhor os dados. Com o prop?sito de verificar se o emprego de uma solu??o de tensoativo forneceria resultados semelhantes, tratou-se o adsorvente com esta solu??o e verificou-se que o adsorvente impregnado com a microemuls?o foi mais efetivo, comprovando que a fase org?nica (querosene) era importante para o processo. Estudou-se o processo de dessor??o e verificou-se que os ?cidos minerais concentrados eluiam melhor o cromo. O tratamento mostrou-se eficaz obtendo-se um aumento na capacidade de adsor??o de cromo de aproximadamente 10 % para a quitosana (132 mg de Cr3+/ g adsorvente), que j? era bastante eficiente, e, para a diatomita, que n?o era capaz de remover o metal, obteve-se uma capacidade de 10 mg de Cr3+/g adsorvente, comprovando a efic?cia do tratamento aplicado

It is essential to the healthy development of plants and non-toxic to humans, depending on its concentration. It is used in various industries and it s present in water production coming from oil production. More specifically in Rio Grande do Norte, one of the largest oil producers on shore of Brazil, the relationship water/oil in some fields becomes more than 90%. The most common destination of this produced water is disposal in open sea after processing to meet the legal specification. In this context, this research proposes to study the extraction of boron in water produced by microemulsion systems for industrial utilization. It was taken into account the efficiency of extraction of boron related to surfactant (DDA and OCS, both characterized by FT-IR), cosurfactant (butanol and isoamyl alcohol), organic phase (kerosene and heptanes) and aqueous phase (solution of boron 3.6 ppm in alkaline pH). The ratio cosurfactant/ surfactant used was four and the percentage of organic phases for all points of study was set at 5%. It was chosen points with the highest percentage of aqueous phase. Each system was designed for three points of different compositions in relation to the constituents of a pseudoternary diagram. These points were chosen according to studies of phase behavior in pseudoternary diagrams made in previous studies. For this research, points were chosen in the Winsor II region. The excess aqueous solution obtained in these systems was separated and analyzed by ICP OES. For the data set obtained, the better efficiency in the extraction of boron was obtained using the system with DAC, isoamyl alcohol and heptanes, which extracted 49% in a single step. OCS was not viable to the extraction of boron by microemulsion system in the conditions defined in this study / O boro ? um semi-metal presente em determinados tipos de solos e ?guas naturais. ? essencial ao desenvolvimento sadio de esp?cies vegetais e at?xico ao homem, dependendo de sua concentra??o. ? utilizado em v?rias ind?strias e est? presente em ?guas de produ??o oriundas da atividade petrol?fera. Mais especificamente no Rio Grande do Norte, um dos maiores produtores de petr?leo on shore do Brasil, a mistura ?gua/?leo produzida em alguns campos chega a ser superior a 90% em ?gua. O destino mais comum a essa ?gua produzida ? o descarte no mar aberto ap?s especifica??o. Com isso, o objeto a que se prop?e este trabalho ? o estudo da extra??o do boro em ?gua produzida por sistema microemulsionado (SME) para seu aproveitamento industrial. Nesse estudo foi levado em considera??o a efici?ncia de extra??o de boro quanto ao tensoativo (DDA e OCS, ambos caracterizados por FT-IV), cotensoativo (butanol e ?lcool isoam?lico), fase org?nica (querosene e heptano) e fase aquosa (solu??o de boro 3,6 ppm em pH b?sico). A raz?o cotensoativo/tensoativo utilizada foi quatro e o percentual das fases org?nicas para todos os pontos de estudo foi fixada em 5%. Foram escolhidos pontos com maior percentual de fase aquosa. Cada sistema foi montado para tr?s pontos de composi??es diferentes em rela??o aos constituintes de um diagrama pseudotern?rio. Estes pontos foram escolhidos de acordo com estudos do comportamento de fases em diagramas pseudotern?rios realizados em estudos anteriores. Para esse estudo os pontos escolhidos localizaram-se na regi?o de Winsor II. A solu??o aquosa em excesso obtida nesses sistemas foi separada e analisada por ICP OES. Do conjunto de dados obtidos, o sistema que apresentou melhor efici?ncia na extra??o de boro foi o que utilizou DAC, ?lcool isoam?lico e heptano, com aproximadamente 49% de extra??o numa ?nica etapa. O OCS n?o se mostrou favor?vel a extra??es de boro por sistema microemulsionados nas condi??es do estudo

At this temperature the first wax crystals are formed by the cooling systems paraffin / solvents. Paraffins are composed of a mixture of saturated hydrocarbons of high molecular weight. The removal of petroleum from wells and the production lines means a surcharge on produced oil, thus solubilize these deposits formed due to modifications of thermodynamics has been a constant challenge for companies of oil exploration. This study combines the paraffin solubilization by microemulsion systems, the determination of WAT systems paraffin / solvent and performance of surfactant in reducing the crystallization. We used the methods: rheological and the photoelectric signal, validating the latter which was developed to optimize the data obtained due to sensitivity of the equipment used. Methods developed for description of wax precipitation are often in poor agreement with the experimental data, they tend to underestimate the amount of wax at temperatures below the turbidity point. The Won method and the Ideal solution method were applied to the WAT data obtained in solvent systems, best represented by the second interaction of Won method using the solvents naphtha, hexane and LCO. It was observed that the results obtained by WAT photoelectric signal when compared with the viscosity occur in advance, demonstrating the greatest sensitivity of the method developed. The ionic surfactant reduced the viscosity of the solvent systems as it acted modifying the crystalline structure and, consequently, the pour point. The curves show that the WAT experimental data is, in general, closer to the modeling performed by the method of Won than to the one performed by the ideal solution method, because this method underestimates the curve predicting the onset of paraffin hydrocarbons crystallization temperature. This occurs because the actual temperature measured was the crystallization temperature and the method proposes the fusion temperature measurement. / A TIAC ? a temperatura de in?cio do aparecimento dos cristais de parafina. Nesta temperatura os primeiros cristais de parafina s?o formados, pelo resfriamento de sistemas parafina/solventes. As parafinas s?o compostas de uma mistura de hidrocarbonetos saturados de alto peso molecular. A remo??o de parafinas dos po?os e das linhas de produ??o significa um custo adicional ao petr?leo produzido, portanto solubilizar estes dep?sitos formados decorrentes das modifica??es termodin?micas tem sido um desafio constante das empresas exploradoras de petr?leo. Este estudo alia a solubiliza??o paraf?nica por sistemas microemulsionados, ? determina??o da TIAC dos sistemas parafina/solvente e a atua??o do tensoativo na redu??o da cristaliza??o. Utilizaram-se os m?todos: reol?gico e o do sinal fotoel?trico, validando este ?ltimo o qual foi desenvolvido visando aperfei?oar os dados obtidos devido a sensibilidade do equipamento utilizado. M?todos desenvolvidos para descri??o da precipita??o da cera est?o freq?entemente em pobre concord?ncia com os dados experimentais; eles tendem a subestimar a quantidade de cera ?s temperaturas abaixo do ponto de turbidez. Foram aplicados os m?todos de Won e o da solu??o ideal aos dados de TIAC da parafina obtidos em sistemas com solventes, sendo melhor representado pela segunda intera??o do m?todo de Won com os solventes: nafta, hexano e LCO. Foi observado que os resultados de TIAC obtidos pelo sinal fotoel?trico quando comparados com a viscosidade, ocorrem antecipadamente, demonstrando a maior sensibilidade do m?todo desenvolvido. O tensoativo i?nico reduziu a viscosidade dos sistemas paraf?nicos, pois ele atuou modificando a estrutura cristalina, conseq?entemente o ponto de fluidez. As curvas que representam os dados experimentais da TIAC est?o, de maneira geral, mais pr?ximas da modelagem realizada pelo m?todo de Won do que da solu??o ideal, pois este m?todo subestima a curva de predi??o do in?cio da temperatura de cristaliza??o da parafina com os hidrocarbonetos. Isto ocorre porque a temperatura real medida foi a de cristaliza??o, e a proposta pelos m?todos ? a de fus?o
