Ácidos graxos e compostos fenólicos como substâncias fitotóxicas nos resíduos agroindustriais: vinhaça, torta de filtro e bagaço
(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2018-02-16) Luz, Dandara Alves; Gomes, Anne Caroline Candido; Kuster, Ricardo Machado; Cunha Neto, Álvaro; Santos, Roberto Pereira
The residues of agroindustry from sugar cane vinasse, filter cake and bagasse are abundant in Brazil, a leading country in the production of sugar and alcohol. The use of this waste solves problems related to waste and environmental pollution. Extracts were produced by solvent maceration, some of them were submitted to liquid / liquid partitions and others were saponified, resulting in numerous samples that were tested for phytotoxic activity and analyzed by GC-MS, by ESI (-) FT-ICR-MS and ESI (-) MS / MS leading to the identification of 22 substances, among them ten fatty acids and twelve phenolic compounds. The DIC experiments of the pseudomolecular ions [MH] –327,21796 (C18H32O5) and 329,23355 (C18H34O5) led to the proposition of the polyhydroxylated unsaturated fatty acids, 9,12,13-trihydroxy-10,15-octadecadienoic, for the first and the isomers 9 , 12,13-trihydroxy-10-octadecenoic acid / 9,10,13-trihydroxy-12-octadecenoic acid for the second, which have not been described so far in Saccharumssp. GC-MS analyzes corroborated the chemical profile already observed by the FT-ICR-MS technique. In the phytotoxicity bioassay in Lactuca sativa, the most active fractions were the dichloromethane partition of vinasse (IC50 = 168.4 ppm) and ethyl acetate of vinasse (IC50 = 262.3 ppm). The FT-ICR-MS and CG-EM analyzes demonstrated that the VDiCl sample consists of a proportionally similar mixture of fatty acids and phenolic acids, whereas VAcOEt is formed in a higher proportion by a mixture of phenolic compounds. In the bioassays with Ipomoea purpurea(weed), the dichloromethane partition of vinasse was also more active, inhibiting root growth by 52% (IC 50 = 344 ppm). At the same concentration, the ethyl acetate partition inhibited only 25.74% root growth. It has been suggested that the interaction between fatty acids and phenolic compounds is important for a higher rate of inhibition and that the presence of oxilipins (polyhydroxylated unsaturated fatty acids)is essential for the more marked phytotoxicity of this sample. This work demonstrated the potentiality of fatty acids and phenolic compounds present in the agroindustrial residues regarding phytotoxicity, indicating that these can be used as raw materials in the elaboration of innovative products for the control of weeds, minimizing the risks that the incorrect disposal to the environment.

Mercury is an element that still needs constant monitoring because it is highly toxic at trace-level concentrations, with possibility exposure and contamination by a variety of forms present in the environment. Thus, the aim of this work was adapt and verify a simple and efficient procedure for mercury determination in Wistar rat tissues using cold vapor generation, pre-concentration in graphite furnace and analysis by atomic absorption spectrometry (CV-GF AAS). They were made comparison of amalgamation methods, procedure optimization, verification of merit figures and analysis of liver and kidneys of chronically treated rat. The best results were obtained using the hot block digestion method as sample pre-treatment and gold coated tube combined with and net of gold for amalgamation. It was necessary to use dichromate, isopropanol and simeticone pre-analysis. Procedure accuracy was verified through recovery tests at five concentration (between 92 and 114 %), enabling the use of the proposed procedure.
Adulteração de óleo diesel e determinação do tamanho de gota de emulsões
(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2016-03-09) Cunha, Danyelle Alves da; Barbosa, Lúcio Leonel; Lacerda Júnior, Valdemar; Pasa, Vanya Marcia Duarte
Crude oil canbe defined as a complex mixture of hydrocarbons and compounds containing S, O, N, and metals in its composition. During the production process occurs the formation of water in oil emulsions (W / O) or oil in water (O / W). These types of emulsions are harmful since they increase viscosity, reduce drainage rate and can promote the precipitation of paraffin crystals and asphaltene aggregates. Precipitation of these compounds interferes the production lines, since they are deposited in the tubing, decreasing its inner diameter and increasing production costs. The industry requires oil free of water to reduce the risks of corrosion and, consequently, reduced manufacturing costs. Therefore, the monitoring of such systems by determining the droplet size distribution (DTG) is indispensable. From the refining of crude oil, are obtained derived petroleum products such as LPG (cooking gas), kerosene, gasoline, diesel oil, among others. The diesel oil is a middle distillate, since the boiling point varies between 125ºC and 328ºC. This distillate has utmost importance as a fuel in the Brazilian road transport, leading the ranking of fuel consumption in the road sector in Brazil. Thus, the adulteration of this fuel is crescent and areadded, to this oil, products such as kerosene, biodiesel and residual oils, since they have good miscibility. Among the most widely used techniques for the study of this oil there is the infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) High resolution. However, studies involving diesel adulteration by Low field -NMR hadnot been publishedyet. This study aims to verify by low field-NMR adulteration of diesel and also to determine the droplet size of emulsions water / diesel and water / biodiesel
Alcaloides isoquinolínicos e atividade citotóxica in vitro de Hippeastrum canastrense J. Dutilh & R. S. Oliveira (Amaryllidaceae)
(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2016-10-24) Vicente, Andressa Reis; Borges, Warley de Souza; Fronza, Márcio; Lima, Murilo Marinho de Castro; Kuster, Ricardo Machado
The Amaryllidaceae family lies between the 20most applied plant families as therapeutic agents against various diseases.An important characteristic of this family is the presence of a unique group of alkaloids, exhibitingseverals biological activities such as antitumor, antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial,antiviral, analgesic, and antiparasiticand acetylcholinesteraseinhibition. This work presents a chemical study of the alkaloidscontent found in the bulbs and flowerlystems of Hippeastrum canastrense, an endemic species from Brazilthat notably has no studies concerning it’s chemicals components so far. In addition,the investigation of the cytotoxicityeffects of the extracts and alkaloidsisolatedwere carried out with tumor cells assays. Therefore, a classical acid-base extraction of methanol extracts of both parts of H. canastrensewas performed, followed by chromatographic separation techniques in order to isolate the alkaloids present in the species.The GC-MS analysis was ableto identify 40 alkaloids, and 16 well-known alkaloidswere isolated: sanguinine(1), hippeastrine(4), candimine(5), 7-methoxy-O-methyllycorenine(7), albomaculine(8), homolycorine(9), lycorine(10), 8-O-demethylhomolycorine(13), norpluviine(14), 2a,7-dimethoxyhomolycorine(15), 2a-hydroxihomolycorine(16), 2a-hydroxialbomaculine(17), masonine(18), normasonine(19), nerinine(20), e trisphaeridine(21), and yet five novel alkaloids here reported as 8-O-demethyl-2a-hydroxihomolycorine(2), 7-methoxymasonine(3), 2-O-metthylcandimine(6), 7-methoxynormasonine(11) e 2a-methoxyhomolycorine(12).Thecrudeextracts and enriched extracts, as well as the compounds 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19e 20 were evaluated for their cytotoxicity in normal fibroblast-cells and also for breast, liver and panceas tumor-cells.The alkaloids hippeastrine, candimine and lycorine showedsignificantcytotoxic effect in all assays. The lowest IC50values for hippeastrine and candimine were obtained for human pancreatic carcinoma cells, while for lycorine was in hepatocelluar carcinoma cells assays.The crude extracts of Hippeastrum canastrenseshowed remarkable cytotoxicity in tumor cells especially in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. The ethyl acetate alkaloids-enriched extracts from the flowerly stems and bulbs, along with the hexane extract from bulbs expressed a relevant cytotoxic potencial in tumor cells. However, bulbs extracts appears to be most selective then the extracts of flowerly stems
Alcaloides isoquinolínicos isolados das partes aéreas de Worsleya procera (Lem.) Traub (Amaryllidaceae)
(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2016-10-24) Moraes, Carolina Torres; Borges, Warley de Souza; Cunha Neto, Álvaro
Many natural compounds have shown interesting biological and pharmacological activities and are considered important targets and one of the largest sources of new drugs, used directly or indirectly as a starting point for developing new drugs. Of plant compounds with biological potency, the alkaloids present in the Amaryllidaceae family are especially effective, for example, the alkaloid galanthamine, a selective, reversible and competitive inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and is marketed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. No study of chemical and biological characterization of the plant Worsleya procera(Lem.)Traub (Amaryllidaceae) was found in the literature and thus, for the purpose of phytochemical characterization of this plant, various chromatographic techniques were used in their extracts for the isolation and identification of alkaloids. As a result, 19 alkaloids and a mixture of two epimers alkaloids (18and 19)were isolatedfrom the aerial parts of W. procera: 3-epimacronine (1),albomaculine (2), lycorine (3), galanthine (4), tazettine (5), hippeastrine (6), O-methyllycorenine (7), 7-methoxy-O-methyllycorenina (8), homolycorine (9), 8-O-demethylhomolycorine (10), trisphaeridine (11), haemanthamine (12), 8-O-demethyl-O-methyllycorenine (13), ismine (14), 6-O-methylpretazettine (15), pretazettine (16), alkaloidwith skeleton type haemanthamine(17), haemanthidine (18), 6-epihaemanthidine (19), 8-O-demethyl-2a-hydroxyhomolycorine (20) e N-fomylismine (21), where their structures could be elucidated by the 1H NMR technique one-and two-dimensional, in compared with literature data. The alkaloid 8-O-demethyl-2a-hydroxyhomolycorineis reported for the first time from natural source.Nineisolated alkaloids(Tazettine, 3-epimacronine, albomaculine, lycorine, galanthine,hippeastrine, O-methyllycorenine, 7-methoxy-O-methyllycorenina and 8-O-demethylhomolycorine) were evaluated for antimicrobial activity, with all weak activity when compared to posivito control.The GC-MS technique proved to be a rapid and efficient technical alkaloids identification, since the analysis results of W.proceraplantextractsfound that the majority were alkaloids 22with skeleton homolicorina type, skeleton lycorinetype and skeletontazetina type, which was confirmed by the total mass of alkaloid obtained

Natural gas has been presenting an increase in demand on the recent years, largely due to its competitive advantages over other fossil fuels. However, in Brazil, its production and supply chain remains under one dominant agent, which makes it difficult for new ones to enter the market and often causes other producers to dispose of their production with little or no financial return. Therefore, the objective of this work is to identify alternative natural gas processing technologies, to allow other natural gas producing companies to process and commercialize their natural gas production without depending on the infrastructure belonging to the dominant agent, considering the technical and regulatory limitations applicable to the activity, to minimize the effects of monopoly influence on the production chain and, finally, to guide the design of new production arrangements that enable the expansion of the supply of salable gas in the country. As a result, three technologies were identified that are already being applied in other countries, which are: compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas and gas to liquids.

Hair can provide chemical information about drug use, which generates great interest in forensic sciences. A technique that has shown promising results for the detection of drugs in this study matrix is the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), in which it is possible to achieve, in a single shot, the detection of drugs of abuse, even if a long time has elapsed since the use of the illicit compound. In this study, the MALDI ionization source was used to detect drugs and metabolites in the hair strands of drug users and non-drug users. For this, a method was developed with an initial evaluation of the most efficient MALDI matrix for the ionization of the monitored analytes. Among the evaluated matrices (2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) and α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA)), CHCA was chosen, and among its tested concentrations (from 1.5 to 10 mg mL-1). Subsequently, the results were compared with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses, where a good relationship was observed between the responses of both methods. In addition, the effect of the pre-analysis (hair washing) and its influence on the detection of the monitored compounds were evaluated, in addition to the evaluation of the effect of hair lightening on hair fortified with a drug and analyzed with the proposed method. The results show little influence on the preanalysis stage and confirm the reduction in drug detection in hair submitted to bleaching. In this sense, the results add information that asserts the applicability of the method for rapid detection of drugs and metabolites in hair.
Análise de metodologias de ensino de Química para debater a temática biodiesel à luz do enfoque CTSA : alfabetização científica no ensino médio

This work had as one of its objectives to evaluate how the Biodiesel inserted in the teaching of Chemistry could be used as a generator theme within the study of the environmental area for fifteen students enrolled in a federal institution high school and for forty students enrolled, also in high school at a private school, from February to July 2011, both located in Vitória, Espírito Santo. It can be seen through a theoretical basis and through the reflection of current Chemistry teaching in the classroom, on generator themes arguing about an active and transformative environmental education. The use of Chemistry is seen by many authors as the cause of environmental impacts such as pollution, poisons, insecticides, preservatives, additives and pesticides. However, you can also use these teachings to awaken the spirit of awareness on the students of their role as educated citizens active in the search for environment preservation. Based on several authors as Loureiro (2005) and Guimarães (2004), Guimarães and Vasconcellos (2006), Saito (2002) and Leff (2001), we have attempted to discuss the generator themes, postulated by Freire (2005, 2007), to contextualize the importance of studying the environment. A qualitative study was undertaken from the perspective of an active search. The data evaluation consisted of the analysis of the answers given by students from the questionnaires answered by them before and after the methodological approaches appropriate to the theme of Biodiesel. The questionnaires contained questions consisting of various items related to the students knowledge of Biodiesel in addition to questions that allowed the evaluation of these students regarding their understanding with respect to the easiness and difficulties found by them in relation to Chemistry. We conclude that through the analysis of the data, which is not only possible, but necessary that the school create mechanisms so that their teachers come to develop activities related to the generator themes
Análise de Parafinas por APCI-FT-ICR MS : Uma Análise Rápida e Simples na Identificação de Hidrocarbonetos Saturados, Cíclicos e Poliaromáticos

The analysis of hydrocarbon using atmospheric or ambient ionization techniques still remains a challenge in mass spectrometry. Traditionally, the ionization occurs via protonation or deprotonation. The molecules of interest must have a basic or acidic group to generated [M + H]+ or [M - H]- ions. To overcome such limitation, it is proposed a simple, easy, fast and powerful analytical methodology to ionize saturated (linear and branched), unsaturated, and cyclic hydrocarbons as well as polyaromatic and heteroaromatic hydrocarbonsby atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) using small hydrocarbons as reagents in a FT-ICR mass spectrometer. These molecules may be present in hydrocarbon fraction samples and paraffin/crude oil blends. Among the APCI hydrocarbon reagents studied, isooctane provided the best results when compared to pentane, hexane, cyclohexane and heptane. The method renders the ionization of hydrocarbons to yield [M – H]+ ions with no associated fragmentation using nitrogen as sheath gas.

The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is technique that allowtomonitoring ofcrude oil, blends,emulsions, and the interaction between these multiphase fluids and steel, allowing the evaluation of corrosion resistance. Crude oils are dielectric and has low conductivity. Therefore it is difficult to conduct measurements in conventional electrochemical cells with three electrodes, which under these conditionsrequired the use of only two parallel electrodes and validation of the impedance measurements. The behavior of the blends and crudeoil is framed for the characterization in the Nyquist diagram for a homogeneous distribution in constant relaxationtime, represented by undistorted semicircle in high frequency. At low frequencies, presents a distorted semicircle assigned to the interface metal/oil. The Nyquist diagram for water in oil emulsions showstwo semicircles in high and medium frequency attributed, respectively, to oil phase and emulsion. The thirddistorted semicircle at low frequency indicates the value of the corrosion resistance of carbon steel in contact with the emulsion. Multivariate analysis (PCA) is used to correlate oil properties with the values obtained by equivalent circuit of the impedance spectra. The corrosion of carbon steel, followed by film formation in aqueous solutions containing H2S in low concentration, is measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), SEM, XRD and Mossbauer. The films of iron sulfide formed under these conditions are corrosive and it increases the rate of corrosion. In CV are detected two peaks of anodic current density, attributed to film formation of iron sulfide and its subsequent oxidation. The irregular and compact morphology was observed by SEM and the composition of the film by EDX, with the majority consisting of Fe, S and O. The crystalline phases were detected by XRD, containing Mackenawite, Marcasite, Pyrite,Troilite, iron hydroxide and hydrate iron sulfate. The effect Mossbauer characterization indicatedthat the film is 85,3% as FeS2, mainly Pyrite. The impedance of the films in solution0.1 mol.L-1Na2SO4reveals that the films of iron sulfide formed under these conditions are corrosive and it increases the rate of corrosion

The present study was divided into two chapters. First, it was determined the concentrations of the elements Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Ti, V and Zn black pepper samples marketed in the State of Espírito Santo. The samples underwent an acidic decomposition procedure assisted by microwave radiation. The Fe and Zn elements were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F AAS), while the others were determined using the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique. The accuracy of the procedures was evaluated through the analysis of the certified reference material Agro C1003a of tomato leaf. The values measured using the methodology adopted in this study and the certified values did not present significant difference, when Student's t-test with 95% confidence level was applied. After verification of accuracy, the analysis methodology wasapplied to 50 commercial pepper samples. For each manufacturer, denominated as A, B, C, D and E, 5 grain samples and 5 ground samples were obtained to verify a possible supply of trace elements during the processing of the black pepper. Each of the samples was chosen from a different lot, in order to obtain a greater variability of the set of samples that are commercialized in the region. The results show that two of the five analyzed brands showed a great increase in the concentrations of Fe, Pb and V after grinding, suggesting that the increase in the concentration of these elements can be influenced by the milling process. Moreover, for samples where there was a significant increase in Pb, it exceeded safe limits for human consumption according to Brazilian legislation, which is 200 µg kg-1. In the second part of the work a simple and fast methodology for the determination of Pb in pepper samples was developed. The developed method consisted in the use of suspension sampling together with the technique of atomic absorption spectrometry with atomization in graphite furnace. The preparation stage of the suspensions was optimized applying experiment planning. Parameters such as pyrolysis and atomization temperatures, calibration and the necessity of use chemical modifiers were evaluated. The analysis methodology presented simplicity and speed in it experimental stages, and provided low limits of detection and quantification. The method also showed good accuracy and allowed the calibration by aqueous standards. The methodology adopted is presented as an alternative to the traditional procedures of analysis and can be considered adequate for routine analyzes, it also can be extended to other trace elements present in black pepper

Given the strong relationship between the crimes of murder and the use of firearms in Brazil, Forensic Ballistics is an important tool to detect waste generated by shooting firearms (GSR -gunshot residues) in the hands of a suspect , helping to determine the authorship of a shot. Among the types of ammunition, clean ammunition was developed in the last decade to minimize exposure of the shooters to lead (Pb), as in conventional ammunition, this element and the Ba and Sb present significativas1 concentrations. Studies show difficulties in GSR detection clean ammunition by energy dispersive spectroscopy coupled with scanning electron microscopy (SEM / EDS) and residuográfico test, thus modern analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS) has being used as a quick analysis for the detection of chemical elements present in GSR, since a high sensitivity, selectivity and multielement character. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of ICP-MS technique to quantify the GSR coming from clean ammunition (from the English "clean range ammunition") using caliber .40 pistol and .38 depending on the number of shots (n = 1-7 and n = 1-5). The GSR were collected in the regions of the clamp-palmar and dorsal clamp and evaluated on both hands (right and left). The results were compared with classic techniques in forensic ballistics: colorimetric assay using sodium rhodizonate (residuográfico) and SEM / EDS. Negative results were observed for Pb and Ba using residuográfico test for GSR analysis clean ammunition shots to 7. The analysis by SEM / EDS was performed on the GSR produced from n = 7 (.40 caliber pistol) and n = 5 (.38 revolver) of clean ammunition. Photomicrographs showed that the GSR produced from clean ammunition presents no defined as the morphology of conventional ammunition GSR. In addition, EDS results of the particularly identified elements as C, O, K, Al, S, Si, Cu, Zn, Ti, Cr, Cl, Mo, Sr and Fe. Unlike convencionas methods, ICP-MS technique showed positive results for Pb, Ba and Sb with maximum concentration of 2.64 µg·L-1(± 0.60) 10.9 µg·L-1(± 5.44) and 0.119 µg·L-1(± 0.02) to40 pistoland 4.59 µg·L-1(± 1.8), 1.95 µg·L-1(± 1.1) 0.099 µg·L-1(± 0.07 ) to .38 revolver. Besides them, elements such as Al, Ti, Cr, Mo, Cu, Zn and Sr were also detected in the clean ammunition GSR. It was observed that with increasing number of shots was in the concentration of all investigated elements and suggested that Al, Sr, Zn and Cu may be used as markers for new GSR clean ammunition. Therefore, the ICP-MS technique showed promising results and proved adequate for GSR analysis of clean ammunition.

Violence involving firearms is a big issue in the state of Espírito Santo and the development of new methods and techniques that can help the police to elucidate homicides is extremely important to the reduction of crime. Optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP OES) stands out as a highly sensitive, versatile and cheap technique when compared to current techniques used by the police. Therefore, the objective of this work was to develop a fast, sensitive and reliable method for collection and quantification of gunshot residues (GSR) using ICP OES to determine the concentrations of lead (Pb), barium (Ba) and antimony (Sb) released by .38 caliber handgun and .380 and .40 caliber pistols. The work was divided into three chapters. In the first, it was discussed the optimization step of the ICP OES technique for GSR, which evaluated the operating parameters of radio frequency power, nebulizer gas flow rate and aspiration rate, using multivariate central composite design. In the second chapter, a study was conducted using Taurus® .38 handgun, which investigated the best residue collection region of the hand in men and women, the feasibility of different collectors for GSR , the comparison of the colorimetric analysis and ICP OES technique for varying distances and the influence of hand washing before and after shots. The results showed that the regions of the thumb and forefinger palm, and the back of the thumb and forefinger are the best collection areas. The pure swab showed better results in terms of cost / benefit and it is possible to obtain concentrations of the metals of interest even with hand washing of shooter. In the third chapter a comparative study between .38 handgun and .380 and .40 pistols it was done. It was quantified Pb, Ba and Sb on the right and left hands of the shooters for the three weapons and held a prediction of the number of shots through the construction of a calibration curve. It was noted the amount of GRS found on the weapons, follows the order .38 handgun>.380 pistol> .40 pistol.

In order to choose from the variety of oleaginous plants for biodiesel production, the oil content of several matrices was determined through different experiments of low-field 1H Nuclear Magnetic Ressonance (NMR) with varied pulse sequences, namely single pulse, spin-echo, CPMG and CWFP (Continuous Wave Free Precession). The experiments applying the first three sequences showed high correlation with each other and with the solvent extraction method. The best results were achieved through CPMG experiments. When the CWFP sequence was used, the correlation with the solvent extraction method was very low and the results were not compatible with those employing the other sequences. Quality of the vegetable oils was also evaluated. The study was based on the existing correlation between the T2 values of the oils obtained through 1H NMR signals achieved through CPMG and their properties, such as viscosity, iodine index and cetane index. These analyses were carried out using HCA and PCA chemometric tools. The results were significant enough to separate the oleaginous matrices according to their quality. The signals achieved using the CWFP and CP-CWFP (Carr-Purcell - Continuous Wave Free Precession) sequences were also used in the chemometric analyses. However, the study identified that the signals generated from these sequences depend both on T1 and T2. Therefore except for the most viscous oleaginous matrices, in HCA and PCA analyses, the matrices were not grouped according to their qualities. The experiments carried out through CP-CWFP were even more advantageous than those through CWFP because the former had higher signal amplitude variation in the quasi steady state (QSS). Thus, using the most adequate pulse sequence, the low-field 1H NMR technique was confirmed as an important tool to help selecting oleaginous matrices for biodiesel production.

CannabissativaL. plant, popularly known as marijuana, is considered a complex matrix due to its many constituents, among them more than 100 are classified as cannabinoids. These compounds are distributed in the plant in different isomeric forms, which hinders the unambiguous characterization of the psychoactive compounds. Therefore, the present study reported the analysis of seven cannabinoid standards (five neutral: ?9-THC, CBD, CBC, CBN and CBG,and two cannabinoid acid standards: ?9-THCA A and CBDA), as well asCannabisproducts (hashish and marijuana) and parts of theCannabisplant (flower andleaf) using four different analytical techniques, mono and two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC-MS and GCxGC-qMS), Ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI(±)TOF-MS) and ion mobility spectrometry (UPLC-ESI(±)-TWIM MS). The results obtained by GC-MS demonstrated extremely close retention times (?t=1.303 min) in the five cannabinoids analyzed from the use of a non-polar stationary phase, DB5. However, GCxGC-qMS resulted in a better distinction in the identification of cannabinoids constitutional isomers, where four of eleven cannabinoids were detected in the three samples; hashish, flower andCannabisleaf. The analysis, by UPLC-ESI(±)TOF-MS, of marijuana and hashish samples, allowed the identification of eight isomers in the XIC mode at m/z315.2354. In the analyzes by UPLC-ESI(-)TWIM MS, a largenumberof compounds was mainly detected for hashish and flower samples. Asfor cannabinoidsofm/z357, ten peaks could be detected,equally distributed, in flower and hashish chromatograms. Although GC is one of the most used techniques in the study of cannabinoids inCannabisand its products, it does not allow the identification of acid cannabinoids, which are widely available in the plant, without previous laborious preparatory stages. Differently, liquid chromatography combined with ion mobility mass spectrometry, allowed the identification of both types of cannabinoids (acids and neutrals), in addition to providing a greater detection of constitutional isomers compounds compared to classical GC technique

This work aimed to study processes of electrochemical treatment applied in a sanitary landfill leachate, with the investigation of physical and chemical parameters of interest and its better operation conditions. The following systems were studied: electrocoagulation, electrocoagulation followed by the Fenton ´s reagent and eletroFenton. Leachates from the landfill in the municipality of Aracruz (Espírito Santo) were used in the research, collected in 2008 and 2009. The samples were sent to the Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry, Federal University of Espirito Santo, and preserved in refrigerator. An electrochemical reactor was constructed using a 3L beaker, mechanical agitation, and electrodes of carbon steel 1020 plates, coupled to a 9 A source of constant direct current. Several experiments were performed for studies of electrocoagulation in order to determine the best operation, with changes in the structural parameters (electrode geometry) and operational (temperature, electrolyte volume and polarity reversal). For the tests of electrocoagulation followed by Fenton ´s reagent, it has changed the relationship between the quantities of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate and hydrogen peroxide, using the ratio of 1:17 and 1:25 of the salt with hydrogen peroxide. For eletroFenton tests were also conducted tests on the change in relationship, but in amounts of 1:20 and 1:25. As result of this research, it was observed that the electrolytic process and this in combination with advanced oxidation process are indicated for the treatment of landfill leachate generated from municipal solid waste. The initial characterization of leachate (pH, organic matter, ammonia nitrogen, chloride and metals) indicated that it comes from landfill over the age of 2 years with a degree of stabilization of the landfill in the acidogenic phase. The electrocoagulation, electrocoagulation followed by Fenton's reagent and eletroFenton shown to be adequate for the process of removing color, turbidity, organic compounds and metals, but not suitable for removal of ammonia and particulate matter. Better results were obtained by combining the electrolytic process with the oxidative, and the treatment eletroFenton showed better results in general, combined with a treatment period shorter (30 minutes). We obtained a removal efficiency of COD between 40 and 50% in electrocoagulation, 60 to 70% in electrocoagulation followed by Fenton, and up to 78% in eletroFenton system. The results of this study are of great importance as support for project development of physical-chemical treatments on an industrial scale for the treatment of leachate from landfill
