Artigo IPEN-doc 24747 Potentially toxic elements downward mobility in an impounded vehicle scrapyard2018 - LANGE, CAMILA N.; FIGUEIREDO, ANA M.G.; ENZWEILER, JACINTA; MONTEIRO, LUCILENA R.In Brazil impounded vehicle scrapyards (IVS) are often overcrowded and may pose a source of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). In this study, PTEs content in soil cores and groundwater of an IVS located at a municipality of the So Paulo metropolitan region was assessed. INAA, XRF and ICP-MS were the analytical techniques employed. PTEs results and statistical approaches indicated that As, Pb, Ni, Cu and Nb are mostly anthropic. Pb, Cu, Ni and Nb mass fraction increased with depth indicating some downward mobility. Arsenic may represent a moderate to very high potential ecological risk. PTEs groundwater levels were bellow drinking water recommendation limits.Artigo IPEN-doc 22834 Trace elements status in the terrain of an impounded vehicle scrapyard2017 - LANGE, CAMILA N.; FIGUEIREDO, ANA M.G.; ENZWEILER, JACINTA; CASTRO, LILIANAThe impact of a scrapyard of impounded vehicles in Sa˜o Paulo state on topsoil was evaluated for As, Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, V, Zn and rare earth elements (REEs). Mass fractions of all elements, except for Co, Cu, Mo and Zn, were higher than reference values. Hot spots were observed for most elements suggesting vehicular source. The geoaccumulation index showed moderate pollution of As. The enrichment factor pointed to a significant enrichment of As, Mo and Pb. The normalization of REEs to Earth’s crust values indicated a positive anomaly of Ce. The results indicate a potential risk to the soil quality of the scrapyard.Artigo IPEN-doc 22766 A Brazilian coal fly ash as a potential source of rare earth elements2017 - LANGE, CAMILA N.; CAMARGO, IARA M.C.; FIGUEIREDO, ANA MARIA G.M.; CASTRO, LILIANA; VASCONCELLOS, MARINA B.A.; TICIANELLI, REGINA B.Rare earth elements (REEs) have several applications and their market demands have increased. Recently, coal fly ash (CFA) has been considered as a source of these elements. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the REEs content in a CFA from a Brazilian coal power plant by instrumental neutron analysis, to classify it according to commercial purposes and to assess the weathering impact in the REEs content, since it is held in fields nearby the power plant. The results pointed no significant REEs leachability and indicated this CFA as a promising REEs source.
