    Oyster shell element composition as a proxy for environmental studies
    2024 - SILVA, PAULO S.C. da; FARIAS, WELLINGTON de M.; GOMEZ, MAURO R.B.P.; TORRECILHA, JEFFERSON K.; ROCHA, FLAVIO R.; SCAPIN, MARCOS A.; GARCIA, RAFAEL H.L.; SIMONE, LUIS R.L. de; AMARAL, VANESSA S. de; VINCENT, MOUCHI; LAURENT, EMMANUEL; RUDNICKI-VELASQUEZ, PAWEL
    The use of mollusks' shell as a proxy for long-term trend prediction in the variability of coastal zones has been used as an attempt to understand the consequences that environmental changes may cause to the functioning of coastal ecosystems. This study exploited the elemental concentration, elemental ratios and mineralogy of oyster shells of the genus Crassostrea to infer spatial variations in the environment of the animal's growth. Modern oyster shell samples of the Crassostrea brasiliana and Crassostrea mangle species were analyzed by neutron activation analysis, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. Data normalization by the enrichment factor relative to lanthanum (La), considered as a conservative element in seawater, and statistical multivariate analyses indicate that the elemental composition and trace element ratios differ when comparing oyster shells from different regions. The results showed that the performed analyses may be useful for the characterization of the environment in which oysters grow.

    Analysis of slag formation during UF4 magnesiothermic reduction
    2017 - DURAZZO, MICHELANGELO; SALIBA-SILVA, ADONIS M.; GARCIA, RAFAEL H.L.; CARVALHO, ELITA F.U. de; RIELLA, HUMBERTO G.
    Metallic uranium is a fundamental raw material for producing nuclear fuel elements for research reactors and irradiation targets for producing 99Mo, as U3Si2, UMo alloy, UAlx, and uranium thin foils. Magnesiothermic reduction of UF4 is a possible route in the nuclear fuel cycle for producing uranium as a metal ingot. The main concern about the reducing scale to produce low-enriched (metallic) uranium (LEU) (around 1 kg) is the relatively low yield compared to calciothermic reduction. Nevertheless, the magnesiothermic reduction has the advantages of having lower cost and being a safer method for dealing with uranium processing. The magnesiothermic process, as a batch, is closed inside a sealed crucible. In the present study, in order to have a qualitative idea of the kinetics during the ignition moment, the slag projected over the lateral inner face of the crucible was used to sketch the general magnesiothermic evolution. The methods used were metallographic observation and X-ray diffraction followed by Rietveld refinement. The results of these analyses led to the conception of a general reaction development during the short time between the ignition of the reducing reaction and final settlement of the products. Relevant information from this study led to the conclusion that uranium is not primarily present in the lateral slag projection over the crucible during the reaction, and the temperature level may reach 1500°C or more, after the ignition.

    Study of free radicals in gamma irradiated cellulose of cultural heritage materials using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
    2016 - KODAMA, YASKO; RODRIGUES JUNIOR, ORLANDO; GARCIA, RAFAEL H.L.; SANTOS, PAULO de S.; VASQUEZ, PABLO A.S.
    Main subject of this article was to study room temperature stable radicals in Co-60 gamma irradiated contemporary paper using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectrometer (EPR). XRD was used to study the effect of ionizing radiation on the morphology of book paper. SEM images presented regions with cellulose fibers and regions with particles agglomeration on the cellulose fibers. Those agglomerations were rich in calcium, observed by EDS. XRD analysis confirmed presence of calcium carbonate diffraction peaks. The main objective of this study was to propose a method using conventional kinetics chemical reactions for the observed radical formed by ionizing radiation. Therefore, further analyses were made to study the half-life and the kinetics of the free radical created. This method can be suitably applied to study radicals on cultural heritage objects.
