Characterization and distribution of pyrogenic carbon in a fraction of archaeological black earth from Caxiuanã
(2015-08) MORAES, Milena Carvalho de; LEMOS, Vanda Porpino; MORAES, Dorsan dos Santos; MORAES, Cláudio Nery Lamarão
This study aims to determine the atomic ratio of O/C in an archaeological black earth (ABE) profile of the Ilha de Terra site, a region of Caxiuanã in the Pará State, Brazil, to determine the types of pyrogenic carbon (PyC) particles and to infer the source of biomass and burning temperature necessary to produce the PyC. The O/C ratios were monitored using scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). The results indicated atomic ratios for clay, silt and fine sand fractions that were between those registered for the PyC particles types: condensed combustion (CC) (0.09, 0.1, 0.13), charcoal (0.32, 0.31, 0.34) and char (0.43, 0.45, 0.52). CC is the predominant type of particle found because of the high firing temperature (> 350 °C), which is consistent with the probable biomass sources of wood, cellulose and lignin.

Síntese de éster de cadeia longa via catálise básica heterogênea
(2009) MORAES, Dorsan dos Santos; ROCHA FILHO, Geraldo Narciso da; ZAMIAN, José Roberto
A long chain ester was prepared by transesterification of methyl palmitate with long chain alcohol using magnesium oxide as catalyst prepared by thermal decomposition of different precursors with the intention of establish relations among structural properties and activities. Temperature and catalyst amounts were modified in order to evaluate the yield of the ester in function the precursors used in preparation of the oxide.
