Le bicarbonate de soude raffiné, produit industriellement par la société Solvay, est fabriqué dans des colonnes à bulles de grande taille, appelées les colonnes BIR.<p>Dans ces colonnes, une phase gazeuse contenant un mélange d’air et dioxyde de carbone (CO2) est dispersée sous forme de bulles dans une solution aqueuse de carbonate et de bicarbonate de sodium (respectivement Na2CO3 et NaHCO3). Cette dispersion donne lieu à un transfert de CO2 des bulles vers la phase liquide. Au sein des colonnes, la phase gazeuse se répartit dans deux populations de bulles :des petites bulles (diamètre de quelques mm) et des grandes bulles (diamètre de quelques cm). Le transfert bulle-liquide de CO2 est couplé à des réactions chimiques prenant place en phase liquide, qui conduisent à la conversion du Na2CO3 en NaHCO3. Une fois la concentration de saturation dépassée le NaHCO3 précipite sous forme de cristaux et un mélange liquide-solide est recueilli à la sortie de ces colonnes.<p>Ce travail, réalisé en collaboration avec la société Solvay, porte sur l’étude et la modélisation mathématique des phénomènes de transfert de matière entre phases, couplés à des réactions chimiques, prenant place au sein d’une colonne BIR. L’association d’études sur des colonnes à bulles à l’échelle industrielle ou réduite (pilote) et d’études plus fondamentales sur des dispositifs de laboratoire permet de développer une meilleure compréhension du fonctionnement des colonnes BIR et d’en construire un modèle mathématique détaillé.<p>L’objectif appliqué de ce travail est la mise au point d’un modèle mathématique complet et opérationnel d’une colonne BIR. Cet objectif est supporté par trois blocs de travail, dans lesquels différents outils sont développés et exploités.<p><p>Le premier bloc est consacré à la modélisation mathématique du transfert bulle-liquide de CO2 dans une solution aqueuse de NaHCO3 et de Na2CO3. Ce transfert est couplé à des réactions chimiques en phase liquide qui influencent sa vitesse. Dans un premier temps, des modèles sont développés selon des approches unidimensionnelles classiquement rencontrées dans la littérature. Ces approches passent par une idéalisation de l’écoulement du liquide autour des bulles. Une expression simplifiée de la vitesse du transfert bulle-liquide de CO2, est également développée et validée pour le modèle de colonne BIR.<p>Dans un second temps, une modélisation complète des phénomènes de transport (convection et diffusion), couplés à des réactions chimiques, est réalisée en suivant une approche bidimensionnelle axisymétrique. L’influence de la vitesse de réactions sur la vitesse de transfert est étudiée et les résultats des deux approches sont également comparés.<p><p>Le deuxième bloc est consacré à l’étude expérimentale du transfert gaz-liquide de CO2 dans des solutions aqueuses de NaHCO3 et de Na2CO3. A cette fin, un dispositif expérimental est développé et présenté. Du CO2 est mis en contact avec des solutions aqueuses de NaHCO3 et de Na2CO3 dans une cellule transparente. Les phénomènes provoqués en phase liquide par le transfert de CO2 sont observés à l’aide d’un interféromètre de Mach-Zehnder.<p>Les résultats expérimentaux sont comparés à des résultats de simulation obtenus avec un des modèles unidimensionnels développés dans le premier bloc. De cette comparaison, il apparaît qu’une mauvaise estimation de la valeur de certains paramètres physico-chimiques apparaissant dans les équations de ce modèle conduit à des écarts significatifs entre les grandeurs observées expérimentalement et les grandeurs estimées par simulation des équations du modèle.<p>C’est pourquoi une méthode d’estimation paramétrique est également développée afin d’identifier les valeurs numériques de ces paramètres physico-chimiques sur base des résultats expérimentaux. Ces dernières sont également discutées.<p><p>Dans le troisième bloc, nous apportons une contribution à l’étude des cinétiques de précipitation du NaHCO3 dans un cristallisoir à cuve agitée. Cette partie du travail est réalisée en collaboration avec Vanessa Gutierrez (du service Matières et Matériaux de l’ULB).<p>Nous contribuons à cette étude par le développement de trois outils :une table de calcul Excel permettant de synthétiser les résultats expérimentaux, un ensemble de simulations de l’écoulement au sein du cristallisoir par mécanique des fluides numérique et une nouvelle méthode d’extraction des cinétiques de précipitation du NaHCO3 à partir des résultats expérimentaux. Ces trois outils sont également utilisés de façon combinée pour estimer les influences de la fraction massique de solide et de l’agitation sur la cinétique de germination secondaire du NaHCO3.<p><p>Enfin, la synthèse de l’ensemble des résultats de ces études est réalisée. Le résultat final est le développement d’un modèle mathématique complet et opérationnel des colonnes BIR. Ce modèle est développé en suivant l’approche de modélisation en compartiments, développée au cours du travail de Benoît Haut. Ce modèle synthétise les trois blocs d’études réalisées dans ce travail, ainsi que les travaux d’Aurélie Larcy (du service Transferts, Interfaces et Procédés de l’ULB) et de Vanessa Gutierrez. Les équations modélisant les différents phénomènes sont présentées, ainsi que la méthode utilisée pour résoudre ces équations. Des simulations des équations du modèle sont réalisées et discutées. Les résultats de simulation sont également comparés à des mesures effectuées sur une colonne BIR. Un accord raisonnable est observé.<p>A l’issue de ce travail, nous disposons donc d’un modèle opérationnel de colonne BIR. Bien que ce modèle doive encore être optimisé et validé, il peut déjà être utilisé pour étudier l’effet des caractéristiques géométriques des colonnes BIR et des conditions appliquées à ces colonnes sur le comportement des simulations des équations du modèle et pour identifier des tendances.<p>//<p>The refined sodium bicarbonate is produced by the Solvay company using large size bubble columns, called the BIR columns.<p>In these columns, a gaseous phase containing an air-carbon dioxyde mixture (CO2) is dispersed under the form of bubbles in an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (Na2CO3 and NaHCO3, respectively). This dispersion leads to a CO2 transfer from the bubbles to the liquid phase. Inside these columns, the gaseous phase is distributed in two bubbles populations :small bubbles (a few mm of diameter) and large bubbles (a few cm of diameter).<p>The bubble-liquid CO2 transfer is coupled with chemical reactions taking places in the liquid phase that leads to the conversion of Na2CO3 to NaHCO3. When the solution is supersaturated in NaHCO3, the NaHCO3 precipitates under the form of crystals and a liquid-solid mixture is extracted at the outlet of the BIR columns.<p>This work, realized in collaboration with Solvay, aims to study and to model mathematically the mass transport phenomena between the phases, coupled with chemical reactions, taking places inside a BIR column. Study of bubble columns at the industrial and the pilot scale is combined to a more fundamental study at laboratory scale to improve the understanding of the BIR columns functioning and to develop a detailed mathematical modeling.<p>The applied objective of this work is to develop a complete and operational mathematical modeling of a BIR column. This objective is supported by three blocks of work. In each block, several tools are developed and used.<p><p>The first block is devoted to the mathematical modeling of the bubble-liquid CO2 transfer in an NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 aqueous solution. This transfer is coupled with chemical reactions in liquid phase, which affect the transfer rate.<p>In a first time, mathematical models are developed following the classical one-dimensional approaches of the literature. These approaches idealize the liquid flow around the bubbles. A simplified expression of the bubble-liquid CO2 transfer rate is equally developed and validated for the BIR column model.<p>In a second time, a complete modeling of the transport phenomena (convection and diffusion) coupled with chemical reactions is developed, following an axisymmetrical twodimensional approach. The chemical reaction rate influence on the bubble-liquid transfer rate is studied and the results of the two approaches are then compared.<p><p>The second block is devoted to the experimental study of the gas-liquid CO2 transfer to NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 aqueous solutions. An experimental set-up is developed and presented. CO2 is put in contact with NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 aqueous solutions in a transparent cell. The phenomena induced in liquid phase by the CO2 transfer are observed using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer.<p>The experimental results are compared to simulation results that are obtained using one of the one-dimensional model developed in the first block. From this comparison, it appears that a wrong estimation of some physico-chemical parameter values leads to significative differences between the experimentally observed quantities and those estimated by simulation of the model equations. Therefore, a parametric estimation method is developed in order to estimate those parameters numerical values from the experimental results. The found values are then discussed.<p><p>In the third block is presented a contribution to the NaHCO3 precipitation kinetic study in a stirred-tank crystallizer. This part of the work is realized in collaboration with Vanessa Gutierrez (Chemicals and Materials Department of ULB).<p>Three tools are developed :tables in Excel sheet to synthetize the experimental results, a set of simulations of the flow inside the crystallizer by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) and a new method to extract the NaHCO3 precipitation kinetics from the experimental measurements. These three tools are combined to estimate the influences of the solid mass fraction and the flow on the NaHCO3 secondary nucleation rate.<p><p>Finally, the synthesis of all these results is realized. The final result is the development of a complete and operational mathematical model of BIR columns. This model is developed following the compartmental modeling approach, developed in the PhD thesis of Benoît Haut. This model synthetizes the three block of study realized in this work and the studies of Aurélie Larcy (Transfers, Interfaces and Processes Department of ULB) and those of Vanessa Gutierrez. The equations modeling the phenomena taking place in a BIR column are presented as the used method to solve these equations. The equations of the model are simulated and the results are discussed. The results are equally compared to experimental measurement realized on a BIR column. A reasonable agreement is observed.<p>At the end of this work, an operational model of a BIR column is thus developed. Although this model have to be optimized and validated, it can already be used to study the influences of the geometrical characteristics of the BIR columns and of the conditions applied to these columns on the behaviour of the model equation simulations and to identity tendencies. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Thesis (MScAgric (Animal Sciences))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The effect of Acid Buf and combinations of Acid Buf and Sodium bicarbonate in dairy cow diets on production response and rumen parameters The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Acid Buf alone, or in combination with sodium bicarbonate, on milk production, milk composition and selected rumen parameters. A high concentrate TMR, formulated to be potentially acidotic, was used to construct four dietary treatments in which Acid Buf (AB), the skeletal remains of the seaweed Lithothamnium calcareum, was used alone or in combination with sodium bicarbonate (BC). The diets contained 3.5 g/kg of AB (Treatment 1) or 1.75 g/kg of AB and 1.75 g/kg of BC (Treatment 2) or 3.5 g/kg of AB and 3.5 g/kg of BC (Treatment 3) or 3.5 g/kg of AB and 5.2 g/kg of BC (Treatment 4). The response to treatment was determined using eight ruminally cannulated lactating Holstein cows randomly allocated to treatments according to a 4 x 4 (n=2) Latin square design, with four treatments and four periods. The total experimental period was 100 days in which every cow received each diet for a period of 18 days prior to a data collection period of 7 days. Rumen pH was monitored continuously over 2 days using a portable data logging system and in-dwelling electrodes. Samples of rumen fluid were collected for volatile fatty acid (VFA) analyses. During each data collection period, milk production was recorded twice daily for 7 days, whereas milk was sampled twice daily for five consecutive days for component analysis. Cows were fed ad libitum and dry matter intake was recorded individually. Treatment had no significant effect on milk production, milk composition or feed intake. Ruminal pH profiles of all the treatments indicated that the diets were well buffered. Average pH over 24 hours was 6.0, 6.1, 6.1 and 6.2 for Treatments 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The pH did not go below 5.8 for any of the treatments and increasing levels of sodium bicarbonate increased the diurnal profile such that at the highest level (Treatment 4), the pH profile ranged from 6.1 to 6.5. Although not significant, Treatment 1 (Acid Buf alone) numerically resulted in the highest milk output without compromising milk quality. It is proposed that high rumen pH may impact negatively on milk output by increasing the acetate:propionate ratio to the detriment of rumen efficiency. Treatment had no significant effect on total VFA concentration, but there seemed to be a tendency for increased total VFA concentration as the level of sodium bicarbonate increased. The acetate:propionate ratio of Treatment 1 (2.91) was significantly lower than Treatment 4 (3.65) (P<0.05). The use of buffers which react to increasing acidity in the rumen may therefore provide an efficient, safe solution to rumen acidosis. This study confirmed previous results indicating that a daily intake of 80 g of Acid Buf by cows receiving high concentrate diets would support high milk production without compromising milk solids contents. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die effek van Acid Buf en kombinasies van Acid Buf en Natriumbikarbonaat in melkkoeidiëte op melkproduksie, melksamestelling en rumenparameters Die doel van die studie was om die invloed van Acid Buf alleen, of in kombinasie met natriumbikarbonaat, in melkbeesdiëte op melkproduksie en melksamestelling, asook op bepaalde rumenparameters, te bepaal. ‘n Volledige dieet met ‘n hoë kragvoerinhoud, wat geformuleer is om potensieel asidoties te wees, is gebruik om vier dieetbehandelings saam te stel waarin Acid Buf (AB), die skeletoorblyfsels van die seegras Lithothamnium calcareum, alleen of in kombinasie met natriumbikarbonaat (BK) gebruik is. Een basale diet is dus geformuleer en die behandelingsdiëte het onderskeidelik 3.5 g/kg AB (Behandeling 1) of 1.75 g/kg AB en 1.75 g/kg BK (Behandeling 2) of 3.5 g/kg AB en 3.5 g/kg BK (Behandeling 3) of 3.5 g/kg AB en 5.2 g/kg BK (Behandeling 4) bevat. Agt rumen-gekannuleerde lakterende Holsteinkoeie is ewekansig aan die behandelings toegeken in ‘n 4 x 4 (n=2) Latynse vierkantontwerp met vier behandelings en vier periodes. Die totale eksperimentele periode was 100 dae, waartydens elke koei elke behandeling vir 18 dae ontvang het voor die datakolleksieperiode van 7 dae. Rumen pH is voortdurend, elke vier minute, oor ‘n twee-dae periode gemeet met behulp van draagbare dataloggers en pH elektrodes wat binne-in die rumen gesetel was. Rumenvloeistof is versamel vir die bepaling van vlugtige vetsuurkonsentrasies. Gedurende elk van die datakolleksieperiodes is die melkproduksie twee maal per dag geneem vir sewe agtereenvolgende dae en melkmonsters is tweemaal per dag versamel vir vyf agtereenvolgende dae vir komponent–analise (samestelling?). Koeie is ad libitum gevoer en voerinnames is individueel bepaal. Die behandelings het geen betekenisvolle invloed op melkproduksie, melksamestelling of voerinnames gehad nie. Rumen pH profiele van al die behandelings het aangedui dat die diëte goed gebuffer was. Die gemiddelde pH oor 24 uur was 6.0, 6.1, 6.1 en 6.2 vir Behandeling 1, 2, 3 en 4, onderskeidelik. Die pH het nie onder 5.8 gedaal vir enige van die behandelings nie en die toenemende vlakke van natriumbikarbonaat het ‘n verhoging in die daaglikse pH-profiele tot gevolg gehad. By die hoogste buffervlakke (Behandeling 4) het die pH-profiel tussen 6.1 en 6.5 gevarieer. Hoewel nie betekenisvol nie, het Behandeling 1 (slegs Acid Buf) numeries die hoogste melkproduksie getoon, sonder dat melkkwaliteit beïnvloed is. Dit is voorgestel dat te hoë rumen pH ‘n nadelige impak op melkproduksie kan hê, as gevolg van ‘n verhoogde asetaat:propionaat verhouding wat rumen doeltreffendheid benadeel. Behandelings het geen betekenisvolle invloed op totale vlugtige vetsuurkonsentrasies gehad nie, maar daar was ‘n neiging vir hoër totale vlugtige vetsuurkonsentrasies namate die vlakke van natriumbikarbonaat verhoog het. Die asetaat:propionaat verhouding van Behandeling 1 (2.91) was betekenisvol laer as dié van Behandeling 4 (3.65). Die gebruik van buffers wat reageer op toenemende suurheidsgraad kan dus aangewend word as ‘n doeltreffende en veilige oplossing vir rumen asidose. Die studie het bevestig dat ‘n daaglikse inname van 80 g Acid Buf deur koeie wat ‘n hoë kragvoerdieet ontvang, hoë melkproduksie ondersteun sonder dat melksamestelling nadelig beïnvloed word.

Nós determinamos a influência da alcalose e acidose metabólica induzida sobre o ritmo de prova, gasto energético e desempenho durante um teste contrarrelógio de ciclismo de 4 km (TCR). Após um estudo preliminar (N=7) determinando as doses ótimas de cloreto de amônio (NH4Cl), bicarbonato de sódio (NaHCO3) e placebo (carbonato de cálcio, CaCO3), 11 ciclistas amadores realizaram um TCR de 4 km 100 min após ingerirem 0,15 g·kg-1 de NH4Cl, 0,3 g·kg-1 de NaHCO3 ou 0,15 g·kg-1 de CaCO3 (desenho de medidas repetidas, contrabalançado e duplo-cego). Comparado com placebo, a ingestão de NaHCO3 resultou em uma alcalose sanguínea pré-exercício (pH: + 0,06 ± 0,04, [HCO3-]: + 4,7 ± 2,6 mmol?L-1, excess de base: + 4,6 ± 2,4 mmol?L-1, P<0,05), enquanto que o NH4Cl resultou em uma acidose sanguínea (pH: - 0,05 ± 0,04, [HCO3-]: - 5,5 ± 2,9 mmol?L-1, excesso de base: - 5,3 ± 2,5 mmol?L-1, P<0.05), com essas diferenças permanecendo durante todo o teste. Apesar de nenhum desconforto gastrointestinal severo, os participantes adotaram um ritmo de prova significativamente mais conservador em NH4Cl comparado com placebo e NaHCO3, que foi acompanhado por uma redução na taxa de gasto energético anaeróbio (~ -14 %, P<0,05) e menor trabalho anaeróbio total (~ -13 %, P<0,05). Consequentemente, o desempenho foi prejudicado em NH4Cl (~ -7 %) comparado com as demais condições (P<0,05). O lactato plasmático, VCO2 e a PetCO2 foram menores e a VE/VCO2 maior durante o TCR em acidose do que em placebo e alcalose (P<0,05). Entretanto, não houve diferença para essas variáveis entre placebo e NaHCO3 (P<0,05). A acidose metabólica induzida diminuiu o ritmo de prova e o metabolismo anaeróbio, além de prejudicar o desempenho durante um TCR de 4 km, independente de desconforto gastrointestinal / We determined the influence of induced metabolic alkalosis and metabolic acidosis on pacing, energy expenditure and performance during a 4-km cycling time trial (TT). After a preliminary study (N=7) determining the optimal ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), and placebo (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) doses, 11 amateur cyclists performed a 4-km TT 100 min after ingesting either 0.15 g·kg-1 of body mass of NH4Cl, 0.3 g·kg-1 of NaHCO3 or 0.15 g·kg-1 of CaCO3 (double-blind, counterbalanced and repeated-measures design). Compared with placebo, the NaHCO3 ingestion resulted in a pre exercise blood alkalosis (pH: +0.06 ± 0.04, [HCO3-]: +4.7 ± 2.6 mmol?L-1, base excess: +4.6 ± 2.4 mmol?L-1, P<0.05), while NH4Cl resulted in a blood acidosis (pH: -0.05 ± 0.04, [HCO3-]: -5.5 ± 2.9 mmol?L-1, base excess: -5.3 ± 2.5 mmol?L-1, P<0.05), with these differences remaining throughout the trial. Despite no gastrointestinal distress, participants adopted a significant more conservative pacing in NH4Cl compared with placebo and NaHCO3, which was accompanied by a reduced anaerobic energy expenditure rate (~ -14 %, P<0.05) and lower total anaerobic work (~ -13 %, P<0.05). Consequently, the performance was less in NH4Cl (~ -7 %) compared with other conditions (P<0.05). Plasma lactate, VCO2 and PetCO2 were lower and the VE/VCO2 higher during the TT in acidosis than in placebo and alkalosis (P<0.05). However, there was no difference for these variables between placebo and NaHCO3 (P>0.05). Induced metabolic acidosis slows pacing, decreases anaerobic metabolism and impairs performance during a 4-km TT, independent of gastrointestinal distress

Uma das medidas recomendadas para o controle da progressão de lesões de erosão dental de origem intrínseca é o enxágüe bucal com solução de bicarbonato de sódio, visando à neutralização de ácidos gástricos presentes na boca. Contudo, a prescrição de tal solução faz-se em bases empíricas. Assim, este estudo avaliou, através de um modelo in situ, o efeito de uma solução de bicarbonato de sódio no controle da erosão dental causada por desafios ácidos endógenos. Este estudo caracterizou-se por um experimento do tipo cross-over 2x2, composto por duas fases experimentais de 5 dias cada. Após um período de lead-in de 2 dias, quatorze voluntários utilizaram dispositivos intrabucais contendo, em cada lado (direito e esquerdo), um fragmento de esmalte bovino polido, esterilizado e delimitado de modo a obter áreas hígidas de referência. Duas vezes ao dia, um dos espécimes foi exposto, ex-vivo, à solução de ácido clorídrico (0,01 M, pH = 2) por 2 min. Imediatamente após, os aparelhos foram reinseridos na boca e os voluntários realizaram enxágüe bucal com solução de bicarbonato de sódio ou água deionizada por 1 min. Após um período de wash-out de 2 dias, os voluntários iniciaram a segunda fase empregando a substância alternativa para o enxágüe bucal. Ao término das duas etapas, foram avaliadas a profundidade de desgaste através de perfilometria ótica e a microdureza Knoop. ANOVA e o teste de Tukey demonstraram que o desgaste do esmalte foi significativamente reduzido quando se empregou a solução de bicarbonato de sódio para o enxágüe bucal. Para a microdureza, ANOVA demonstrou apenas presença de diferença significativa em função da condição do substrato (p < 0,0001). Os espécimes erodidos apresentaram valores de microdureza significativamente menores do que o grupo não submetido ao desafio ácido. O enxágüe bucal com solução de bicarbonato de sódio controlou a erosão no esmalte submetido a simulações de episódios erosivos endógenos. / One of the recommended measures to control dental erosion of intrinsic origin is the oral rinse with sodium bicarbonate solution, which has been suggested to neutralize the gastric acid regurgitated into the oral cavity. However, the efficacy of this prescription has not yet been proved. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate in situ the effect of a sodium bicarbonate rinse in the control of dental erosion in enamel exposed to gastric acid-like solution. This study comprised two experimental legs. After a 2-day lead-in period, fourteen volunteers wore palatal devices containing two polished, sterilized enamel slabs. Throughout the experimental period of 5-d, one of the two specimens was exposed twice daily extra-orally to hydrochloric acid solution (0,01 M, pH=2) for 2 min. Immediately after, devices were reinserted in the mouth and volunteers rinsed their oral cavity with a sodium bicarbonate solution or deionized water for 60s. In the second leg of this study, after a 2-day washout period, appliances were refilled with a new set of enamel specimens and participants were crossed over to receive the alternate rinse. The wear depth accessed using optical profilometry and Knoop surface microhardness were evaluated. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey\'s test demonstrated that wear of enamel was significantly reduced when a sodium bicarbonate solution was used to rinse the oral cavity following erosive episodes. For microhardness, ANOVA demonstrated only significant differences in function of the enamel condition (p < 0,0001). The eroded specimens presented microhardness values significantly lower than the group not submitted to the acid challenge. Sodium bicarbonate rinse controlled erosion of enamel caused by gastric acid-like solution.

Este estudo in vitro avaliou o efeito do bicarbonato de sódio 10% (BS) e do hidrogel de ascorbato de sódio 10% (AS) na resistência adesiva à microtração de uma resina composta unida à superfície de esmalte bovino clareado com peróxido de hidrogênio 35% (PH). Cento e vinte superfícies de esmalte vestibular com dimensões de 4mmX4mm de incisivos bovinos foram planificadas e separadas em cinco grupos: C - não clareado e restaurado; OI - clareado com PH e restaurado imediatamente; O7 - clareado com PH, armazenado por 7 dias em água destilada e restaurado; OBS - clareado com PH, BS 10% durante 5 min e restaurado; OAS - clareado com PH, AS 10% durante 15 min e restaurado. O gel de PH (Total Blanc Office, Nova DFL) foi aplicado duas vezes de 20 minutos em cada espécime e as restaurações foram confeccionadas com sistema adesivo restaurador (Natural Bond DE + Natural Look, Nova DFL). Após uma semana, os espécimes foram seccionados para obtenção de palitos com 1,00 mm2 de área média e submetidos ao teste de microtração em máquina de teste universal a 0,5mm/min, imediatamente e após 6 meses. As falhas foram avaliadas em estereomicroscópio digital (200x) e classificadas em: adesiva, coesiva em esmalte, coesiva em resina e mista. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA a dois critérios e teste de Tukey para comparações múltiplas (p<0,05). Os valores médios de resistência adesiva (MPa ± DP; imediatamente / 6 meses) foram: C (24,22 ± 7,74 Ba / 20,13 ± 6,43 BCa); OI (18,29 ± 5,88 Ca / 25,85 ± 5,23 Ab); O7 (40,88 ± 7,95 Aa / 24,61 ± 7,83 ABb); OBS (19,95 ± 5,67 BCa / 15,94 ± 5,57 CDa); OAS (24,43 ± 6,43 Ba / 13,69 ± 5,58 Db). Das estratégias antioxidantes avaliadas após 7 dias, os grupos OAS e OBS não diferiram estatisticamente do grupo C, nem OBS diferiu estatisticamente do grupo OI. Nesse período de avaliação, somente o grupo O7 apresentou diferença significativa em relação aos demais grupos. Após 6 meses de envelhecimento, apenas O7 e OBS apresentaram desempenho semelhante estatisticamente ao grupo C. O percentual de falhas (7 dias / 6 meses) foi: adesiva (65,26% / 67,06%); coesiva em esmalte (14,74% / 24,71%); coesiva em resina (1,58% / 2,35%); mista (18,42% / 5,88%). Em função dos resultados apresentados, a estratégia mais segura é aguardar 7 dias após o clareamento para a realização de restaurações adesivas. Quando não for possível aguardar este tempo, a aplicação de bicarbonato de sódio 10% por 5 minutos sobre o esmalte clareado deve ser feita. / This \"in vitro\" study evaluated the effect of 10% sodium bicarbonate (SB) and 10% sodium ascorbate (SA) hydrogel on the composite resin microtensile bond strength of bleached bovine enamel with 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP). One hundred and twenty buccal enamel surfaces with dimensions of 4mmX4mm of bovine incisors were flattened and separated into five groups: C - not bleached and restored, OI - bleached with HP and immediately restored; O7 - bleached with HP, stored for 7 days in distilled water and restored; OBS - bleached with HP, 10% SB for 5 min and restored; OAS - bleached with HP, 10% SA for 15 min and restored. HP gel (Total Blanc Office, Nova DFL) was applied twice for 20 minutes on each specimen and the restorations were performed with an adhesive restorative system (Natural Bond DE + Natural Look, Nova DFL). After a week, the specimens were sectioned into sticks with a 1.00 mm2 average area and submitted to a microtensile test in a universal testing machine at 0.5 mm/min, immediately and after 6 months. The failures were evaluated in a digital stereoscope (200x) and classified as: adhesive, cohesive in enamel, cohesive in resin and mixed. Data was analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey\'s test for multiple comparisons (p <0.05). The average values of the bond strength (MPa ± SD; immediately / 6 months) were: C (24.22 ± 7.74 Ba / 20.13 ± 6.43 BCa) OI (18.29 ± 5.88 Ca / 25.85 ± 5.23 Ab); O7 (40.88 ± 7.95 Aa / 24.61 ± 7.83 ABb), OBS (19.95 ± 5.67 BCa / 15.94 ± 5.57 CDa), OAS (24.43 ± 6.43 Ba / 13.69 ± 5.58 Db). Among the antioxidant strategies evaluated after 7 days, the OAS and OBS groups did not differ from group C and neither OBS group differed from the OI group. In the same evaluation period, only the O7 group presented a significant difference compared to the other groups. After 6 months of aging, only the O7 and OBS groups performed statistically similar to group C. The percentage of failures (7 days / 6 months) was: adhesive (65.26% / 67.06%); cohesive in enamel (14.74% / 24.71%); cohesive in resin (1.58% / 2.35%); mixed (18.42% / 5.88%). According to the results presented, the safety strategy is waiting 7 days after bleaching for the adhesive restorative procedures. When this waiting period is not possible, 10% sodium bicarbonate should be applied for 5 minutes on the bleached enamel.

The occlusal thirds of 80 permanent third molars were ground down to flat dentin surfaces. Dentinal caries were induced artificially by the microbial method. Groups were divided as follows: G1 (n=20), application of Clearfil SE Bond adhesive system (CL) alone; G2 (n=20), pretreatment with 2% chlorhexidine (CLX)+CL; G3 (n=20), pretreatment with sodium bicarbonate (BIC)+CL; G4 (n = 20), BI +CLX+CL. Bond strength was assessed immediately and at 6 months. Composite resin (Z350) build-ups were made on the dentin surfaces, and beam-shaped specimens with a cross-sectional area of 1 mm? were obtained. Microtensile bond strength testing was performed. Only adhesive or mixed-mode fractures were taken into account for calculation of bond strength. The results were submitted to the Kruskal-Wallis test (Student-Newman-Keuls). There was no significant difference on bond strength between the control, bicarbonate and chlorhexidine groups in the immediate test (p> 0.05). After 6 months, adhesive resistance fell for all groups. The control group had higher bond strength (p <0.05). The predominant fracture was of the adhesive type independent of the period evaluated. It can be concluded that after six months, there was decrease on bond strength for all groups. This reduction was greater in the groups in which the inhibitors were used / O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a influ?ncia do bicarbonato de s?dio na resist?ncia adesiva durante a hibridiza??o da dentina cariada utilizando o sistema adesivo autocondicionante. Foram selecionados 80 terceiros molares permanentes, feita a remo??o do ter?o oclusal e superf?cies dentin?rias planas foram obtidas. A les?o de c?rie dentin?ria foi confeccionada atrav?s do m?todo microbiol?gico. Os grupos foram: G1 (n=20): aplica??o do sistema adesivo Clearfil (CL), G2 (n=20): aplica??o de clorexidina 2% (CLX) + CL, G3 (n=20): aplica??o de bicarbonato de s?dio (BI) + CL, G4 (n=20): BI + CLX + CL. A resist?ncia adesiva foi avaliada imediatamente e ap?s seis meses. Um bloco de resina composta Z350 foi constru?do em dentina. Cada bloco dente/adesivo/resina foi seccionado com disco diamantado acoplado ? m?quina de corte em planos paralelos obtendo-se corpos de prova em forma de palito, com ?rea de sec??o transversal de 1 mm?. Foi realizado teste de resist?ncia de uni?o por meio do teste de microtra??o. Foi considerada apenas fratura adesiva/mista para c?lculo da resist?ncia de uni?o. Os resultados foram submetidos aos teste de Kruskal-Wallis (Student-Newman-Keuls). N?o houve diferen?a significante na resist?ncia de uni?o entre os grupos controle, bicarbonato e clorexidina no teste imediato (p>0.05). Ap?s 6 meses, houve queda da resist?ncia adesiva para todos os grupos. O grupo controle apresentou maior resist?ncia de uni?o (p<0.05). A fratura predominante foi do tipo adesiva independente do per?odo avaliado. Pode-se concluir que ap?s seis meses, houve diminui??o na for?a de uni?o para todos os grupos. Essa redu??o apresentou-se maior nos grupos em que os inibidores foram utilizados.

Conversion of natural gas and other light hydrocarbons via steam reforming is currently the major process for hydrogen production. However, conventional hydrogen production technologies are not cost effective and therefore, cost is the biggest impediment to use hydrogen in fuel cell applications. In order to optimize and overcome cost problems in hydrogen production, sorption and membrane enhanced reaction processes are the two novel technologies for in situ operation of reforming and removal of carbon dioxide. Adsorption of carbon dioxide onto activated hydrotalcite and activated soda, obtained from either trona or NaHCO3, had been studied using a stainless steel packed bed tubular reactor as a function of temperature. Adsorption of CO2 in the presence and absence of steam onto activated hydrotalcite was conducted in the temperature range of 400-527 oC, whereas sorption studies with activated soda were performed for 80 to 152 oC in the presence of steam. Also, two-parameter deactivation model was developed to justify the experimental data and predictions of the breakthrough curves by deactivation model indicated a good agreement with the experimental results. In order to obtain physical properties of the sorbents, untreated and calcined sorbents were characterized by using TGA, B.E.T (N2 adsorption), and Hg porosimetry techniques. When hydrotalcite was used as the sorbent, total adsorption capacity of the material reduced from 1.18 mol/kg to 0.66 mol/kg as the temperature was increased from 400 oC to 527 oC. On the other hand, activated soda exhibited a total adsorption capacity 1.15 to 0.68 mol/kg for a temperature change from 80 to 152 oC. For high temperature removal of CO2, hydrotalcite and its promoted forms (using K2CO3 or Na2CO3) are pretty good sorbents to be used in single step hydrogen production processes, such as SERP. On the other hand, activated soda could also be used for CO2 abatement of the effluent gas from the reformer only when the temperature is lowered enough to obtain efficient adsorption capacity within the multi-bed adsorbers.

Nós determinamos a influência da alcalose e acidose metabólica induzida sobre o ritmo de prova, gasto energético e desempenho durante um teste contrarrelógio de ciclismo de 4 km (TCR). Após um estudo preliminar (N=7) determinando as doses ótimas de cloreto de amônio (NH4Cl), bicarbonato de sódio (NaHCO3) e placebo (carbonato de cálcio, CaCO3), 11 ciclistas amadores realizaram um TCR de 4 km 100 min após ingerirem 0,15 g·kg-1 de NH4Cl, 0,3 g·kg-1 de NaHCO3 ou 0,15 g·kg-1 de CaCO3 (desenho de medidas repetidas, contrabalançado e duplo-cego). Comparado com placebo, a ingestão de NaHCO3 resultou em uma alcalose sanguínea pré-exercício (pH: + 0,06 ± 0,04, [HCO3-]: + 4,7 ± 2,6 mmol?L-1, excess de base: + 4,6 ± 2,4 mmol?L-1, P<0,05), enquanto que o NH4Cl resultou em uma acidose sanguínea (pH: - 0,05 ± 0,04, [HCO3-]: - 5,5 ± 2,9 mmol?L-1, excesso de base: - 5,3 ± 2,5 mmol?L-1, P<0.05), com essas diferenças permanecendo durante todo o teste. Apesar de nenhum desconforto gastrointestinal severo, os participantes adotaram um ritmo de prova significativamente mais conservador em NH4Cl comparado com placebo e NaHCO3, que foi acompanhado por uma redução na taxa de gasto energético anaeróbio (~ -14 %, P<0,05) e menor trabalho anaeróbio total (~ -13 %, P<0,05). Consequentemente, o desempenho foi prejudicado em NH4Cl (~ -7 %) comparado com as demais condições (P<0,05). O lactato plasmático, VCO2 e a PetCO2 foram menores e a VE/VCO2 maior durante o TCR em acidose do que em placebo e alcalose (P<0,05). Entretanto, não houve diferença para essas variáveis entre placebo e NaHCO3 (P<0,05). A acidose metabólica induzida diminuiu o ritmo de prova e o metabolismo anaeróbio, além de prejudicar o desempenho durante um TCR de 4 km, independente de desconforto gastrointestinal / We determined the influence of induced metabolic alkalosis and metabolic acidosis on pacing, energy expenditure and performance during a 4-km cycling time trial (TT). After a preliminary study (N=7) determining the optimal ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), and placebo (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) doses, 11 amateur cyclists performed a 4-km TT 100 min after ingesting either 0.15 g·kg-1 of body mass of NH4Cl, 0.3 g·kg-1 of NaHCO3 or 0.15 g·kg-1 of CaCO3 (double-blind, counterbalanced and repeated-measures design). Compared with placebo, the NaHCO3 ingestion resulted in a pre exercise blood alkalosis (pH: +0.06 ± 0.04, [HCO3-]: +4.7 ± 2.6 mmol?L-1, base excess: +4.6 ± 2.4 mmol?L-1, P<0.05), while NH4Cl resulted in a blood acidosis (pH: -0.05 ± 0.04, [HCO3-]: -5.5 ± 2.9 mmol?L-1, base excess: -5.3 ± 2.5 mmol?L-1, P<0.05), with these differences remaining throughout the trial. Despite no gastrointestinal distress, participants adopted a significant more conservative pacing in NH4Cl compared with placebo and NaHCO3, which was accompanied by a reduced anaerobic energy expenditure rate (~ -14 %, P<0.05) and lower total anaerobic work (~ -13 %, P<0.05). Consequently, the performance was less in NH4Cl (~ -7 %) compared with other conditions (P<0.05). Plasma lactate, VCO2 and PetCO2 were lower and the VE/VCO2 higher during the TT in acidosis than in placebo and alkalosis (P<0.05). However, there was no difference for these variables between placebo and NaHCO3 (P>0.05). Induced metabolic acidosis slows pacing, decreases anaerobic metabolism and impairs performance during a 4-km TT, independent of gastrointestinal distress

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of cleaning methods in removing pigment deposited on aesthetic brackets, after immersion in coffee. We selected 160 premolar brackets (80 monocrystalline and polycrystalline 80). The brackets were fixed on a glass blade and soon, thereafter, color measurement was performed using a spectrophotometer (T0). For each means of immersion, 80 brackets were selected (40 for each type of ceramic). Soon after staining (30 days of immersion), new color measurements were made (T1). Subsequently, the specimens were divided randomly into four groups for brushing, bleaching, blasting with sodium bicarbonate jet and sodium bicarbonate jet followed by bleaching. New color measurements were made after each cleaning method was used (T2). The color change of the brackets was evaluated according to two formulae, i.e., CIELAB and CIEDE2000. The differences between the average ΔE according to treatment, bracket, and solution were evaluated by linear regression analysis. The greatest staining was caused by coffee. The crystalline structure did not influence the color change. The methods with lower averages of ΔE for coffee were sodium bicarbonate jet followed by bleaching and bleaching, followed by the group that received brushing and sodium bicarbonate jet (both CIELAB as to CIEDE2000). The CIEDE2000 formula was more sensitive in detecting non-acceptable and perceptible differences in color when compared with the CIELAB formula. It was concluded that the most effective methods to remove pigment deposited on aesthetic brackets are sodium bicarbonate jet followed by bleaching and bleaching alone. / O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a eficiência dos métodos de limpeza na remoção de pigmentos depositados sobre bráquetes estéticos, após imersão em café. Foram selecionados 160 bráquetes (80 monocristalinos e 80 policristalinos) de pré-molares superiores. Os bráquetes foram fixados em uma lâmina de vidro e logo depois a mensuração de cor foi realizada com um espectrofotômetro (T0). Cada meio de imersão (café ou saliva) continha 80 bráquetes (40 para cada tipo de cerâmica). Logo após a coloração (30 dias de imersão) novas aferições foram feitas (T1). Posteriormente, os espécimes foram divididos randomicamente em 4 grupos: Grupo 1 Escovação; Grupo 2 Clareamento; Grupo 3 Jateamento com bicarbonato de sódio; Grupo 4 Jateamento com bicarbonato de sódio seguido de Clareamento. Novas aferições foram feitas depois de cada método de limpeza (T2). A variação da cor dos bráquetes foi avaliada de acordo com 2 fórmulas: CIELAB E CIEDE2000. As diferenças entre as médias de ΔE de acordo com o tratamento, braquete e solução foram avaliadas através de análise de regressão linear. O café promoveu maior manchamento. A estrutura cristalina não influenciou na alteração de cor. Os métodos com menores médias de ΔE, no café, foram o jateamento com posterior clareamento e o clareamento sozinho, seguido dos grupos que receberam jateamento e escovação (tanto para CIELAB quanto para CIEDE2000). A fórmula CIEDE2000 foi mais sensível em detectar diferenças de cor não-aceitáveis e perceptíveis quando comparado à fórmula CIELAB. Conclui-se que os métodos mais eficazes na remoção de pigmentos depositados sobre bráquetes estéticos são o jateamento com bicarbonato de sódio com posterior clareamento e o clareamento sozinho.

The study include 8 male subjects, physically active (23,0±4,01years; 54,69±6,51ml/kg/min-1). The subjects underwent an all out ESupra at 1min in cycle ergometer with load 0,075 kg/weight, after ingestion of solution 0,3g/kg with NaHCO3 or placebo (PLAC) with 0,045g/kg NaCl. After performed the IMS for the upper and lower limbs. The NaHCO3 did not affect the ESupra (497,45±52,47W) compared with PLAC (497,97±60,15W). There were no effects of the ESupra or NaHCO3 ingestion of the test IMS for the elbow flexors (NaHCO3 pre 38,4±6,6kgf and post 36,7±7,8kgf; PLAC pre 37,1±6,8kgf and post 36,2±8,0kgf), as well as for IMS the knee extensors (NaHCO3 pre 84,68±12,36kgf and after 80,28±11,88kgf; PLAC pre 87,04±16,38kgf and after 81,20±13,41kgf). In relation the physiological responses was observed a significant increase at the end of the ESupra only to VCO2 (4,93±0,47l/min) in the condition NaHCO3 compared to PLAC (4,44±0,28l/min). No differences were observed for VO2, VE and VCO2 at anytime during recovery. Lactate concentrations were differently to blood condition NaHCO3 compared to PLAC from the second minute after the ESupra. Before these results, it is likely that the increase in blood lactate concentration after ingestions of NaHCO3 was due to increased release of lactate exercised by muscle and/or by decreasing the absorption in other tissues, since not presented evidence of increased production during exercise (i.e. improved performance). Moreover, the largest peak value during the VCO2 in ESupra suggest a lager buffering H+ generated by supplementation with NaHCO3. Despite evidence to demonstrate the action of NaHCO3 on acid-base balance and transport of lactate the administration of the alkaloid did not favor the performance of 1min ESupra or the IMS of the upper and lower limbs in active individuals. / O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se a suplementação com bicarbonato de sódio (NaHCO3) altera o desempenho durante exercícios supramáximos no ciclismo (ESupra), as variáveis cardiorrespiratórias, e a força muscular isométrica subseqüente. Participaram deste estudo 8 sujeitos do sexo masculino, fisicamente ativos (23,0±4,01anos; 54,69±6,51ml/kg/min-1). Os voluntários foram submetidos a um ESupra de 1min no cicloergômetro, com carga 0,075 kg/peso, após a ingestão de uma solução com 0,3g/kg NaHCO3 ou placebo (PLAC) com 0,045g/kg de NaCl. Em seguida realizaram os testes de força máxima isométrica (FMI) para os membros superiores e inferiores. O NaHCO3 não teve efeito sobre o desempenho no ESupra (497,45±52,47W) comparado ao PLAC (497,97±60,15W). Não foram observados efeitos do ESupra nem da ingestão do NaHCO3 no teste para FMI dos flexores do cotovelo (NaHCO3 pré 38,4±6,6kgf e pós 36,7±7,8kgf; PLAC pré 37,1±6,8kgf e pós 36,2±8,0kgf), como também para a FMI dos extensores do joelho (NaHCO3 pré 84,68±12,36kgf e pós 80,28±11,88kgf; PLAC pré 87,04±16,38kgf e pós 81,20±13,41kgf). Em relação às respostas fisiológicas foi observado um aumento significativo durante o ESupra apenas para o pico de VCO2 (4,93±0,47l/min) na condição NaHCO3 comparado com o PLAC (4,44±0,28l/min), sem diferenças significativas para essa variável durante a recuperação. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas para o VO2 e VE em qualquer momento durante a recuperação. As concentrações de lactato sanguíneo foram diferentes para condição NaHCO3 quando comparado com o PLAC à partir do segundo minuto após o ESupra até o final dos 30min de recuperação. Diante dos resultados encontrados, é provável que o aumento na concentração do lactato sanguíneo após ingestão de NaHCO3 seja decorrente da maior liberação do íon pela musculatura exercitada e/ou pela diminuição da absorção nos outros tecidos, uma vez que não foram apresentados indícios de uma maior produção durante o exercício (i.e. melhora na performance). Além disso, o maior valor de VCO2 pico durante o ESupra sugere um maior tamponamento do H+ gerado pela suplementação com NaHCO3. Apesar de demonstrarmos indícios da ação do bicarbonato sobre o equilíbrio acidobásico e no transporte de lactato, a administração do alcalóide não favoreceu o ESupra de 1min no ciclismo nem a força máxima isométrica de membros superiores e inferiores em indivíduos ativos.
