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.

2023 - TORRECILHA, JEFFERSON K.; MENDES, ANA P.T.; THEOPHILO, CAROLINA Y.S.; LINHARES, HORACIO M. da S.M.D.; PAULA, JOSE H. de; SCAPIN, MARCOS A.; GARCIA, RAFAEL H.L.; MARAVER, FRANCISCO; SILVA, PAULO S.C. da
Introduction: Since the early days of humankind, peloids have been used for therapeutic purposes. However, the safety and efficacy of these materials for therapeutic treatments has never been regulated in most of the countries where it is commonly used. Materials and methods: In this study, samples os peloids from different regions of Brazil (´Aguas de S˜ao Pedro, Paraty and Arax´a) were characterized: mineral composition (X-ray diffractometry), physicochemical characteristics (pH, redox potential, moisture, % loss on ignition at 550 ◦C and 1000 ◦C, cooling kinetics, swelling power, specific surface area), concentration of trace elements (X-ray fluorescence, Neutron activation analysis, Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry) and radiological activity (Gamma spectrometry). Results: The results showed great variability in mineral composition, physicochemical characteristics, elemental concentration, concentration of activity and little variation in cooling kinetics. However, this variation is also found when comparing the results with some those presented by other authors. Conclusion: This study concludes that the three peloids studied are good candidates to be used for topical application. Metals and potentially toxic elements present are in concentrations levels that are unlikely to cause risk to health.
Reduced graphene oxide obtained by gamma radiation to produce screen printed glucose biosensor

Screen printed biosensor has attracted attention as point care device due to its fast and accurate response in a compact portable platform. Due the high electrical carrier mobility, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been used to modify the working electrode surface and increase the biosensor sensibility. However, there are some disadvantages during the reduction of graphene oxide that include the use of chemical reductants that need to be removed after the reaction and the toxic residues. The purification usually requires tedious steps and a lot of efforts to recover the nanomaterial. In this work screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was modified using rGO produced by gamma radiation. Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by modified Hummers and the reduction was performed in a water/isopropanol solution and inert medium. Sample was irradiated in the Multipurpose Gamma Irradiation Facility at Radiation Technology Center from Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN/CNEN-SP), a category IV gamma irradiator by the IAEA classification under the radiation dose at 80,0 kGy. rGO characterization was performed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). From the XRD patterns: the 2θ the peak located at 11o shift to 23o, demonstrating the reduction of GO to rGO. The decrease of the distance between layers was attributed on partial remove of the oxygen groups from GO. For the glucose biosensor preparation, first of all, the SPCE (Metrohm, model 6. 1208. 110) was modified by drop-coating rGO solution and dried at room temperature for 24h. Then, for Glucose Oxidase (GOx) immobilization, the carboxylic groups from rGO were activated using N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethyalaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) for 30 min at room temperature, followed by adding GOx 10KU from A. niger Type II (5mg/mL). The solution was incubated at 4oC overnight. SEM images showed GOx onto SPCE surface and the electrocatalysis of GOx toward glucose was measured to confirm the enzymatic activity. For electrochemical studies, cyclic voltammetry was carried out in a Portable Potentiostat model 910 PSTAT mini, Metrohm and PSTAT software. The fabricated amperiometric biosensor detects glucose ranged from 1mM to 5mM with LOD of 0.9 mM at 0.70V. Moreover, the biosensor exhibited repeatability, reproducibility and practicability. This study showed that rGO synthesized by gamma radiation without any further purification is a simple and sustainable approach to fabricate electrode for biosensors.

Metallic nanoparticles (MN) have been the subject of intense research in the last decades because of their high catalytic activity, associated with its large surface-to-volume ratio. However, it is difficult to obtain pure active metal nanoparticles surfaces, since its contamination and aggregation frequently result in deactivation and loss of catalytic activities. MN immobilization can minimize these effects. Thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) make this material an excellent candidate for MN support for batteries and supercapacitors. The production of metallic nanoparticles on rGO surface based on gamma radiation allows less formation of residual impurities, absence of reducing agents, uniform mass production, no aggregation and low costs. Herein, we demonstrated a green and efficient one-step, gamma radiation-based method for Ni/rGO production. Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by modified Hummers method. Ni+2 and graphene oxide reduction were performed in water/isopropanol solution (1:1) under inert medium. Samples were irradiated in the Multipurpose Gamma Irradiation Facility at CETER/IPEN/CNEN-SP, a category IV gamma irradiator by the IAEA classification, in radiations doses of 20, 40, and 80 kGy, at 10 kGy/h. From X-ray diffraction, the correlation between radiation doses and crystallite size was evaluated. For supercapacitor studies, cyclic voltammetry was carried out in a screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) in K₄[Fe(CN)₆]. The working electrode was modified with produced rGO-Ni 80 kGy, Pt wire was used as counter and Ag/AgCl as reference electrode. Experiments were performed in KOH 1.0 M. Results showed that produced Ni/rGO has good potential to be used in electrochemical devices such as supercapacitors or batteries.
Identification of potential plant species hyperaccumulating light rare earth elements (LREE) in a mining area in Minas Gerais, Brazil
2022 - ASHRAF, NERMEEN; RODRIGUES, EDUARDO S.; ALMEIDA, EDUARDO de; MONTANHA, GABRIEL S.; ABREU-JUNIOR, CASSIO H.; VITOVA, MILADA; GARCIA, RAFAEL H.L.; KUPPER, HENDRIK; CARVALHO, HUDSON W.P. de
Phytoextraction of rare earth elements (REE) from contaminated soils has gained importance during the last few decades. The Poços de Caldas municipality in Brazil is known for its mineral richness, including large reserves of REE. In this study, we report light REE (La, Ce, Sm, Pr, and Nd) in soils and plants collected in an area. Composite soil samples and plant individuals were collected, and total concentrations of LREE in soils were determined by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF). The plant available LREE concentrations in soils were estimated upon the acetic acid method (F1 fractions) of the stepwise sequential extraction procedure, together with plant content that was analysed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The total sum concentrations of tested LREE in soils varied from 5.6 up to 37.9 g kg−1, the bioavailable fraction was ca. 1%, and a linear relationship was found between them. The only exception was Sm, whose availability was lesser and did not show a linear relationship. The concentration of LREE in non-accumulator plants varied from 1.3–950 mg kg−1 for Ce, La 1.1–99 mg kg−1, Sm 0.04–9.31 mg kg−1, Pr 0.1–24.1 mg kg−1, and Nd 0.55–81 mg kg−1. The concentration of LREE among shoots did not show a linear relation either with the available fraction or total content. The screening also revealed Christella dentata (Forssk.) Brownsey & Jermy, Thelypteridaceae family, as a promising hyperaccumulator species. The concentrations of LREE among shoots of six individuals of this species were in the ranges from 115 to 1872 mg kg−1 for Ce, La 190–703 mg kg−1, Sm 9–48 mg kg−1, Pr 32–144 mg kg−1, and Nd 105–478 mg kg−1.
