O Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geologia e Geoquímica (PPGG) do Instituto de Geociências (IG) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) surgiu em 1976 como uma necessidade de desmembramento do então já em pleno desenvolvimento Curso de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Geofísicas e Geológicas (CPGG), instalado ainda em 1973 nesta mesma Universidade. Foi o primeiro programa stricto sensu de Pós-Graduação (mestrado e doutorado) em Geociências em toda Amazônia Legal. Ao longo de sua existência, o PPGG tem pautado sua atuação na formação na qualificação de profissionais nos níveis de Mestrado e Doutorado, a base para formação de pesquisadores e profissionais de alto nível. Neste seu curto período de existência promoveu a formação de 499 mestres e 124 doutores, no total de 623 dissertações e teses.

Industrial and domestic waste cause serious problems for the environment. Industries treatment of kaolin have been deposited reject in large lakes of sedimentation and this has caused accidents as occurred in august/2007 and February/2008. The large volume of kaolin in the lakes sedimentation invaded lakes and rivers from Rio Capim, Para region. This fact resulted in the pollution of waters and death of fish. This problem can be minimized with the use of kaolin reject (KR) in the synthesis of new materials. In this work was used KR treated with organic acid (glycine at concentrations of 5%, 10% and 15% , being obtained the adsorbents: KR-gly-5, KRgly-10 and KL-gly-15, respectively) and mixture NaClO4:HClO4 (proportions 1:50 and 1:75, being obtained the adsorbents KR-NaClO4:HClO4-1:50 and KR- NaClO4:HClO4- 1:75, respectively) and KR as source of Si and Al in the synthesis of zeolites. The materials were characterized by chemical composition and XRD, FTIR, DTA-TG and SEM data. These materials were studied in adsorption process for CrO4 2- from aqueous solutions. The results obtained indicate that the CrO4 2- is adsorbed by kaolin reject and other materials from KR followed this order: KR-gly-10> KR-gly-5>KR-gly-15>KG> KR- NaClO4:HClO4- 1:75> zeolites.

The search for efficient methodologies to control environmental pollution, as well as the development of technologies in the fields chemical, physical and biological have been widely discussed in order to produce efficient alternatives to improve the quality of life and control of chemical pollutants (organic or inorganic) that over the years are being dumped into the environment so as inconsequential by households and industries. Thus, it is important to know about the adsorptive behavior of metals in the soil, because high concentrations of metals produce adverse effects on the environment. Molybdenum is an essential element for biological functions of plants and animals, but in high concentrations in the body can lead to bone deformities, anemia, abnormal liver and lead to death.The possibility of interaction of organic-inorganic compounds (Humic Acid, Urea andH2SO4) in sediments "in nature” from the region of Acre, was investigated with the aim of evaluating the possibility of applying these materials in adsorption processes in molybdate aqueous solutions. The natural samples used in this study have a high content of clay minerals, mainly smectite, kaolinite and low content of primary minerals such as feldspar and quartz. All samples "in nature" were characterized by XRD, XRF, FTIR, SEM and pHH2O and pHKCl. The modification with inorganic acid concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 1.5mol.L-1), temperature and contact time are important parameters in the process of delamination of the clay minerals. As the use of organic compounds such as urea and humic acid were efficient in the amorphization. The study by XRD in the modified samples show a change in the structure when H2SO4 at the concentrations used, but this fact is only observed for 15Å peak, characteristic of smectite, all other peaks showed no significant change. The synthesis of organic compounds promoted the amorphization of the smectite peak reference. Thus, as the sediment naturally has clay (smectite, kaolinite), confirmed by XRD and the presence of iron, indicating a transition to the montmorillonite nontronite, and with isomorphous substitution of iron is expected to strong interaction between the adsorption molybdate fractions modified with respect to the natural. The introduction of H+ due to the modification process with sulfuric acid promoted the replacement of calcium ions in the structure confirmed by semi-quantitative analysis performed by EDS. SEM analysis indicated the presence in natural samples cluster morphology, this fact was not observed in the modified samples, which was observed delamination and amorphization. The equilibrium conditions in the adsorption process were investigated in which it is inserted, time of 2 h and the solution pH was measured before and after adsorption. The equilibrium datawere represented by theisotherm models Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips. The adsorption process had better performance in the concentrations for samples and S10H15 S10UH. The humic acid modified samples contained higher Qmáx =3.43, values regression fit to the model obtained indicate Freundlich efficient adsorption process, the modified samples effective adsorbed molybdate anion in comparison to natural sample.

Kaolin waste, generated in abundance by companies from Pará state, has caused to the environmental problems. In order to give input on the reuse of this waste was evaluated retention of nitrate ions on kaolin waste natural and modified with urea and studied the equilibrium of adsorption processes at solid-solution interfaces. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence (XRF and XRD, respectiely), IR spectroscopy (FTIR spectrum), scanning electron microscopy and estimated data of surface charge. Adsorption experiments of nitrate ions in the waste natural kaolin (CRJN) and modified with urea (CRJU) were performed without pH adjustment. H + concentrations were measured by direct potentiometry before and after the process of adsorption and equilibrium concentrations of nitrate were measured by ion chromatography. The results indicated: high purity kaolin waste; formation of kaolinite-urea complex confirmed by XRD reflection at 2  8,28o e d = 1.068 nm and the FTIR spectrum with the appearance of a broad band of low intensity, containing two discrete shoulder around 3500-3380 cm-1, corresponding to asymmetric and symmetric vibrations of the group-NH2 of urea-kaolinite, superimposed to the vibration of water. surface charges data, suggesting that the materials have a higher capacity to adsorb cations than anions, but depending on the concentration of H + and OH- on adsorbent, the hydroxyl surface can be protonated yielding positive charges that are reflected in the adsorption of anions, obtaining significant adsorbed nitrate, both in CRJN as CRJU (0,27-0,73 and from 0,18-0,70 3.5 mg g-1, respectively), the separation coefficient (RL) of from 0,28 to 0,828 change in free energy ΔG ° = -2,094 to + 0,445 kJ mol-1 for CRJN and ΔG° = -1,036 to + 1,32 kJ mol-1 for CRJN molecule. The data from RL indicated that the adsorption processes are less favorable in most points of the adsorption processes and based on the results of the free energy change (ΔG º) was showed low spontaneity to no spontaneity and adsorption processes are physical.

Torrential rains in the Amazon region provide large leaching of micronutrients, which can be controlled from the adsorption reactions of micronutrients in clay minerals. Studies on the geochemical properties of sediment containing high concentrations of clay minerals in the adsorption reactions of micronutrients is a research topic of great importance considering the proven use of clay minerals with a wide range of applications in various processes and procedures adsorption, involving the remediation of sediment, purification of air and water. In order to make contributions on the physical and chemical properties of soils and applicability of the Solimões Formation from Acre State was carried out a study to simulate natural competitive adsorption of micronutrients cobre, níquel e zinco in different adsorbents sites present in these sediment and to evaluate the influence of the attributes mineralogical, chemical and physico-chemical from these adsorption processes. Preliminary data on the mineralogy of soil samples allowed to select four stations distributed among four named as H1RA, H6B, H23A H9F and located along the BR 364 and BR 317, as well as outcrops in the river Acre. Analyses of samples were performed by XRD (using the powder in the range 2θ=o 5-75 ; analysis of clay fraction in sheets oriented air-dried in an atmosphere of ethylene glycol o and heated at 550 ° C (2θ = 3 -35 ) analysis total chemical by ICP-OES; element analysis exchangeable and available to determine parameters of soil fertility. In adsorption experiments the equilibrium concentrations of cobre, níquel and zinco were determined by AAS. We used the models of Langmuir isotherm, Sips, Toth, Temkin Rendlich-Petersen and the fit of the experimental data of adsorption. The results indicated that the samples present as major minerals quartz and clay minerals of the smectite group, mica and kaolinite mineral and the 14th (H6B) preliminarily identified as interstratified mica-chlorite smectite-mica or chlorite-vermiculite. The other minerals identified in the samples were gypsum (H1RA), microcline (H6B and H9F) and albite (H9F). The average chemical composition is represented by 60.99% SiO2, 15.91% Al2O3, 5.84% of Fe2O3, 2.21% K2O, 0.34% of Na2O, 1.26% MgO, 0.86% CaO and 0.86% TiO2. The following ranges were obtained for the parameters of fertility: pHH2O = 5.24 to 8.36; pHKCl = 3.16 to 7.02; CTCefetiva = 3.37 to 25.42 cmol c / kg;% V (base saturation) = 83.08 to 97.63; saturation% Ca = 4.28 to 69.21; saturation% = 11.32 to 76.42 Mg, K saturation% = 2.32 to 17.32;. In the adsorption experiments were obtained the following ranges for the amount of each element adsorbed (mg / g) in soil samples selected: Cu) from 91.30 to 147.46 in H1RA, 47.25 to 83.93 in H6B , 67.13 to 137.36 in H9F; 73.01 to 141.35 in H23A, Ni) from 49.97 to 93.81 in H1RA; 42.51 to 113.44 in H6B; 62.52 to 134.86 in H9F; 54.13 to 172.58 in H23A, Zn) from 50.11 to 104.50 in H1RA, 44.31 to 64.12 in H6B; 60.21 to 89.91 in H9F; 73.84-135 , 60 in H23A. In these experiments was obtained the following values for the initial pH of the aqueous suspensions of samples in H1RA pHinicial=3.88 to 5.38; in pHinicial H6B = 2.71 to 3.27; H9F in pHinicial = 3.16 to 4, 24 and in pHinicial H23A = 2.61 to 3.29. The values of pH equilibrium were 4.38 to 5.2 in the H1RA sample, 2.71 to 3.16 in H6B; 3.24 to 4.2 in H9F; 2.51 to 3.14.in H23A. It was concluded that the sediment samples analyzed have suitable properties adsorptive for simultaneous retention of Cobre, níquel and zinco in water; the samples with montmorilonite (station H23A) and mineral 14A (H6B) present adsorption of metals transition at pH values between 2.5 and 3.1. The samples H1RA H9F with different groups of clay minerals (smectite, kaolinite and mica) the adsorption of transition metals occurs at pH values between 3.2 to 5.5. The ionic strength increases with decreasing pH . The best isotherm models to describe adsorption processes of Cobre, níquel and zinco in sediment samples were the Langmuir and Sips models. The values of ns Sips indicated that the majority of adsorption systems fall between the homogeneous heterogeneous systems. The equilibrium data and thermodynamic processes of simultaneous interaction between these ions and mineral adsorbents indicated that the processes are favorable, spontaneous and the type of adsorption is specific (chemical adsorption) with the formation of inner sphere complexes.

Afinidades geoquímicas entre sedimentos (solos) e vegetação (gramíneas e cultivares), além de cabelo de ribeirinhos, ao longo das praias de rios da bacia do Juruá, no estado do Acre e sua importância ambiental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005-06-10) RÊGO, José de Arimatéia Rodrigues do; COSTA, Marcondes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1639498384851302
The State of the Acre is located in the southwestern extremity of the Brazilian Amazonia, in an area of 153.149 km2, with a low population density (3,66 inhabitants/km2). The studied area comprehends the basin of the Juruá river between the Feijó and Cruzeiro do Sul cities, including Tarauacá and Rodrigues Alves. In the basin the main rivers are: Juruá, Tarauacá, Envira, Muru and Moa. The same carry in sediments great amounts by traction and suspension from siltic- argillaceous rocks of the Solimões Formation and deposite in beaches formed along the rivers. In drought periods the beaches (point bars) are displayed in its meanders and benefit the riparian that use them to leisure and to short cycle agriculture. The beaches sometimes are used to cultivs of maize (Zea-Mays) and beans (Vigna unguiculata (1) Walp). These beaches also present a vegetation succession of canarana grass (Costus spicatus) and orvalho grass (Brachiaria decumbes). This study evaluates the high fertility of the beaches sediments (soils) and the geochemistry affinity between their sediments and the crops besides riparian hair and the environmental importance of this cycle. So the main rivers that constitute the Juruá basin, enclosing Feijó, Tarauacá, Cruzeiro do Sul and Rodrigues Alves cities were related. Nine stations were established along the rivers and samples of beach sediments, canarana grass leaves, orvalho grass leaves and seeds and beans leaves had been leaves were collected. Besides this, measurement of phisical-chemical parameters of the rivers waters were caried out. Human hair samples were collected in the cities. The sediments samples were analyzed by X-ray difraction (XRD) for mineral determination, are by chemical ICP-MS for characterization (major and trace elements). In attempt to verify the content of Major and Trace Elements, like Ca, Fe, K, Na, Ba, Zn, Mo, Co, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, As and Se and their sediment — (solil) — crops transference were camet the chemical compositions analyses were carried out with regal water plus MS-ICP and neutron activation. The studied beaches sediments in the cultivated areas excet the beach of Moa river are essentially fine-grained, ranging from fine sand to silt. And are formed by in decressent order quartz, feldspars clay minerals (smectite, illte and kaolinite) and feldspars. Chemical are constitute binaimes by SiO, (68,0 98,9 % in weight), following by significaty lower values, of Fe>03 (0,13 to 4,37 %), MgO (0,02 to 1,03 %), KO (0,16 to 1,94 %), CaO (0,02 to 1,05 %) and Na,0 (0,02 to 1,03 %) and AlOs, are more concentrated in the sediments of Envira, Tarauacá and Juruá rivers. These values compened chemical with that one of the PAAS and, the Upper Crust, are slightly impoverished in Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ti as well as slightly in Ca and Na, diluted certainly for the high contents of SiO2. In general, the rivers waters of the Juruá basin are dark-colored, as white waters type, due to inorganic material in suspension (suspensates) in high concentration. The criterion of suspensates and phisical-chemical parameters (pH, DO, TDS, temperature, resistivity, electric conductivity and salinity) delimit three geographic zones (sub-basins): a) Envira-Tarauacá, b) Juruá and c) Moa rivers. The first one presents the highest values of all the analyze phisical-chemical parameters, except resistivity, and the area coincides with the more fertile land area State of the Acre. Among the studied vegetables the canarana grass leaves revealed are richerest in K, S, Ca, Mg, P than orvalho grass leaves. Canarana and orvalho grass present chemical similarity in relation to K, P, S, Mg and Ca elements. Only canarana grass, collected in the sediments of the Juruá river tends to become richer in Ca and S. The chemical elements transference sediment (soil)-vegetable presents an absorption for vegetal of the K>P>Ca>P. This order presents the major values for vegetables collected in the sediments of Envira river, emphisizing the importance of Envira river with greater transference potential of macronutrients and being a probable pointer of its superior fertility in relation to the other rivers of Juruá basin. In the sediment-crop-human chain the cycle of Hg shows that in the beach sediments of the Juruá, Envira and Tarauacá rivers the average concentration of Hg (27 ppb) in the sediments below the background range (50 ppb) and in the plants is in according to normal considered range (< 500 ppb) for plants that grow in soils with low contents of Hg; the average contents of Hg in hair in Tarauacá, Cruzeiro do Sul, Rodrigues Alves and Feijó rivers is about 3992 ppb. The lower concentration (average 1680 ppb) was found in Feijó and the higher (6240 ppb) in Cruzeiro do Sul, being normal values and slightly impact indicators, not observed in the region. The slightly anomalous values of Hg in hair is not related to the crops, as well as to the sediments. For hunam other sources of Hg disponibilization must be evaluated as fish or domestic or wild animals meats. The beaches and abrupt declivities (banks) of the white water rivers of the central and western regions of Acre (Juruá basin) are really fertile, adequated to short cycle agriculture and its nutrients and other elements are completely assimilated by vegetables and crops. For the present study the chemistry of the sediments and crops, as well as of human hair, shows that the region does not present geochemistry anomaly of any considerable antropogenic impact.

Afinidades petrológicas e geocronologia U-Pb em zircão de ortognaisses do Complexo Gnáissico-Migmatítico Água Azul, Terreno Sapucaia, Província Carajás.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-10-09) PINTO, Eliziane de Souza; OLIVEIRA, Davis Carvalho de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0294264745783506; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7976-0472
The Água Azul do Norte area is part of the geological context of the Carajás Province, precisely in the Sapucaia Terrain, according to the recent tectonic compartmentalization proposals presented by the Granitoid Petrology Research Group (GPPG/UFPA). This region is formed by a mesoarchean orthognathic basement with TTG affinity (Água Azul GneissicMigmatitic Complex; 2.93 Ga) associated with late Mesoarchean intrusions with sanukitoid signatures (Água Azul and Água Limpa Granodiorites; 2.88-2.87 Ga), high-Ba-Sr sodic (Nova Canadá Granodiorite; 2.89-2.87 Ga) and high-K calc-alkaline (Boa Sorte Granite; 2.89- 2.85 Ga) signatures. The review of geological and petrographic data indicated that the TTG crust of Água Azul do Norte is compositionally heterogeneous and records strong evidence of progressive metamorphism and migmatization. Therefore, this work reclassifies this TTG basement as being formed by orthogneisses, which occasionally present variations to tonalitic to quartz dioritic compositions that resemble fragments of a more primitive, intensely deformed and gneissified crust. These varieties show compositional banding in an E-W direction, often disturbed by shear bands and drag folds. Considering the classification of migmatites, they have an orthognathic paleosome and leucosomes rich in Qz+Pl±Bt parallel to the banding (stromatic metatexite) and frequentely outlined by mafic aggregates (melanosome rich in biotite and hornblende). They form four compositional varieties: i) hornblende±biotite tonalitic orthogneiss (HBTnl), ii) clinopyroxene-hornblende tonalitic orthogneiss (CHTnl), iii) epidote-biotite orthogneiss quartz diorite (EBQzD) and iv) hornblende-biotite orthogneiss quartz diorite (HBQzD). They present a large proportion of mafic minerals (M'> 15%), especially biotite and hornblende, which can occur slightly stretched along the foliation plane. Plagioclase and secondary quartz are abundant and occur in the matrix or, in the case of plagioclase, as phenocrysts, while alkali-feldspar and primary quartz are practically insignificant. Whole rock geochemical analysis indicated that samples MED-120A (EBQzD) and MEP-53B (HBQzD) present moderately magnesian character, medium-K calcium-alkaline signature, relative depletion in K2O, MgO, Ba, Ni and Cr and enrichment in Na2O, Al2O3, TiO2, Fe2O3 and Zr, reflecting a certain affinity with traditional tonalite-trondhjemitic associations. The presence of many zircon crystals with igneous features preserved in these samples marks the crystallization age of the protolith at 3.06 Ga, suggesting that they are crustal fragments approximately 100 Ma older than the underlying crust (Água Azul Orthognathic Complex). MED-144 (HBTnl) exhibited a strongly magnesian character, high-K calcium-alkaline signature, high K2O/Na2O ratio and enrichment in MgO, Ba, Ni and Cr, very similar to the composition observed in sanukitoids. The U-Pb data obtained for this sample indicated a crystallization age of 2.92 Ga, similar to that observed in sanukitoids described in the Ourilândia do Norte region (Arraias Granodiorite). The other samples showed significant contents of compatible elements (e.g. Fe, Mg, Ni, Cr) and moderate contents of incompatible elements (e.g. K, Rb, Ba, Sr, Zr, Ti) and revealed an intermediate behavior between TTGs and granitoids enriched in Mg, as well as a strong affinity with the São Carlos Orthogneiss (2.93 Ga) described in the same terrain. Concordant U-Pb ages obtained for samples MED-95A (HBTnl) and EDC-28B (CHTnl) indicated acrystallization at 2.95-2.93 Ga contemporaneous with the emplacement of the Água Azul TTGs and the São Carlos Orthogneiss. The textural behavior of the quartz and mafic minerals indicates dynamic recrystallization mechanisms at intermediate to high temperatures (~500-650ºC), while the morphology observed in the migmatites (stromatic metatexitic and leucosomes with hydrated minerals) suggests that there was a low amount of melt produced and fluids participation in the partial melting process. Combined with the mineral paragenesis (Pl+Qz+Bt±Hbl±Ep), these factors point to a granitic protolith metamorphosed under amphibolite facies conditions, with the migmatization being strongly contemporaneous with the deformation and peak of the regional metamorphism described in the Carajás region (2.89 Ga; MED-95A).

As águas subterrâneas de Belém e adjacências: influência da Formação Pirabas e parâmetros físico-químicos para medidas de qualidade
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1996-04-08) SAUMA FILHO, Michel; LIMA, Waterloo Napoleão de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1229104235556506
In the Metropolitan Region of Belém (PA) the water supply to the population comes from springs (physiographic area of Utinga) and from a network of positional tube wells, in general, in more remote urban areas or where pumping is precarious. This work evaluates the groundwater used in the Metropolitan Region of Belém, correlating data of physical, physical-chemical and chemical parameters, in an attempt to compose an understandable picture about the quality of these waters, and to verify the influence that they suffer from the geological units in which they are located. the aquifers that preserve them are located. To carry out the work, water samples were collected in two different seasonal periods: dry and rainy. After exhaustive consultation of the files of companies, institutions and researchers, 17 tubular wells were selected, 9 in Belém, 5 in Icoaraci, 2 in Mosqueiro and 1 in Ananindeua (Annex A). The most frequent turbidity indices were between 9 and 14 units (ppm of SiO2), but some wells showed higher values (33, 41 and 71 ppm of SiO2. Only in some cases, this turbidity can be immediately correlated with the silica content obtained by chemical analysis. The most frequent color measurements are in the range from zero to 7.5 U.C., with the zero index predominating. However, some wells showed a value above 100 U.C. and others, less frequent, with indices varying between 20 and 60 U.C. The pH and electrical conductivity were quite different parameters. Thus, the highest pH and electrical conductivity indices were verified in the aquifers of the Pirabas Formation. In these cases, the pH was around 6 .4 to 7.6 and conductivity between 231 and 362 µS/cm, with a discontinuity at 87.5 µS/cm, also attributed to a well associated with the aforementioned Formation. More acidic waters (pH below 6.38 and above of 4.01) are certainly attributed to the aquifers of the Barreiras and Post-Barreiras Group. The chemical constituents, notably the contents of Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+ and K+, are consistent with the interpretation of the numerical values of pH and electrical conductivity. Without exception, the concentrations of Ca2+ are higher than those of the other cations, establishing a decreasing order according to Ca2+> Mg2+> Na+>K+, with some inversion between Na+ and Mg2+. The highest concentrations of Ca2+ (soon followed by Mg2+) result from the dissolution of carbonates present in the Pirabas limestone. In fact, confirming this assertion, the concentrations of HCO-3 are also much higher than the concentrations of Cl- and SO2-4. It is to be expected, therefore, that the dissolution of Pirabas sediments produces higher concentrations of Ca2+ and HCO-3. The silica and iron contents also discriminate such waters. In general, higher silica contents correspond to greater depths, as would be expected, taking into account the action of chemical weathering on silicate minerals. As for iron, this constitutes a differentiating parameter of the waters of the Pirabas Formation, almost always at much lower levels than the corresponding values associated with the Barreiras and Post-Barreiras aquifers, with, however, exceptions, in which appreciable indices of iron related to Pirabas sediments. It should be noted that the Pirabas Formation appears in the Metropolitan Region of Belém almost always at depths greater than 100 m, although there are records of smaller depths, but these are apparently rarer situations, as is the case with well number 3. , on the University Campus, near the Guamá River, with a depth of 76 m, and the 94 m well of the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, in the central area of the city (Annex A). The exhaustive consultation of the aforementioned archives of institutions, companies and researchers led to the realization that many tubular wells installed in the urban area use water associated with the Barreiras and Post-Barreiras aquifers, where the pH values are almost always, below 6 units, and electrical conductivity measurements rarely reach 100 µS/cm. Finally, it appears that there is a need for greater investments in order to increase the prospection and use of groundwater in the region, as these, in addition to dispensing with treatment prior to distribution, are still a source of resources, not dimensioned, but of great potential.

The present bibliometric analysis addresses the use of Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometry in geochemical analysis to evaluate scientific trends over a twenty-year period, from 2001 to 2021, using the academic and free bibliometric tool, CiteSpace. For this purpose, 941 international scientific articles involving WDXRF were collected from the Web of Science (WoS) platform using the search terms "wdxrf" or "wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence". The data analysis was divided into two parts: the first part aimed to understand and interpret the quantitative aspects of the scientific production related to the technique, while the second part involved a co-occurrence analysis of keywords from the retrieved works. Despite fluctuations, there has been a constant increase in the number of articles related to this spectrometry technique, with 2020 being the year with the highest productivity in the historical series (105 publications). The United States of America leads the country rankings (110 articles); however, the relatively homogeneous distribution of these studies reveals that WDXRF is a widely disseminated technique worldwide. Brazil ranks among the top ten most influential countries in this field, occupying the eighth position with 59 publications. The journal X-Ray Spectrometry, with 82 articles, stands out as the primary venue for the dissemination of research on this analytical technique. In total, 569 keywords were found, connected by 2002 co-occurrence links. The term "trace element" denotes a solidified but always relevant interest in the use of WDXRF for this level of chemical analysis. On the other hand, "nanoparticle" is the keyword with the highest citation explosion over the past two decades, particularly between 2015 and 2021, highlighting a more recent trend in the elemental characterization of nanostructured compounds. The CiteSpace program identified 13 thematic groups, with five being the most notable in the application of this instrumentation: nanomaterial characterization (cluster #0), trace-level heavy metal analysis (cluster #1), chemical speciation (cluster #2), analysis of particulate matter on filters (cluster #5), and provenance of historical ceramics (cluster #6). In summary, it can be concluded that the chemistry of geological materials does not constitute a narrowly defined body of studies concerning WDXRF. Instead, it represents a scientific frontier that expands through interdisciplinary approaches, providing new and integrated methodological approaches to geoscientific research for those who delve into this technique.

Análise evolutiva da paisagem da serra Tepequém - Roraima e o impacto da atividade antrópica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-01-23) BESERRA NETA, Luiza Câmara; BORGES, Maurício da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1580207189205228; 1580207189205228; COSTA, Marcondes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1639498384851302; 1639498384851302
The north area of Roraima State presents great diversity of geomorphologic featuresformed by dissected plateaus, limited by intermountain plain and relief with a plateau morphology that it is individualized in the extensive plain areas, e.g., of the mountain Tepequém. Since 1930s this was a site of intense activity of diamond extraction what printed changes in the landscape. The main objective of this study is to understand the dynamics evolution of the landscape of the mountain Tepequém under diamond extraction activity and the reason of its erosion susceptibility, being natural or anthropic. To reach these objectives, a description of profiles of soils and saprolitic rock, as well as lateritic profiles were accomplished. Samples of soils, altered rocks, laterites and coal were collected. Besides, width, depth, extension and directional alignment of the channels of the gullies measurements were carried out. The collected materials were submitted to the following analyses: grain size, by humid way; minerals identification by X-ray diffraction and SEM techniques; total chemistry analysis (major elements) by ICP-MS and content of organic matter, humidity and density of the soil measurements. Coal samples were submitted to radiocarbon analyses by AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry). Appling the interpretation of optical images (Landsat-5/TM and Cbers-2/CCD) and the cartographic base, maps of structural alignment, relief (altimetry and declivity), drainage and vegetation covering were also elaborated. The mountain Tepequém stand out among the landscape dominated by relief of hills, residual hills and plane-slightly wavy surfaces because of its rectangular-rhombic format and outline of steep scarps elaborated on sedimentary rocks of Paleoproterozoic. The drainage system of the area delineates parallel, angle-rectangular and faults standards. The relief and drainage morphology of the mountain Tepequém and its around area define a subordination to the structural arrangement E-W, NE-SW and NW-SE directions represented by normal and strike-slip faults. In the mountain Tepequém, the geomorphologic compartments are established by 575 to 670 m high plain intra-valleys surfaces bordered by less than 774m high hills and residual hills and edge slopes less than 1100m high. The bush grassy savanna dominates this landscape and recovers the edge scarps and extends along the regional plain. The ciliary forest covers small stains along the Cabo Sobral and Paiva rivers. This scenery was quite modified because of diamond extraction activity. However, with the decline of this activity, the ciliary forest recovers spontaneously, as the optical images of the last 22 years shows (1984, 1995 and 2006). Intra-valleys plains were developed on sandy soils constituted by medium and fine grain size sandy domains, sub-angles to sub-rounded poorly selected, with low cohesion and small quantity of organic matter. These soils are developed on saprolitic derived of sandstones and siltstones. Locally stone lines and colluvial are observed, usually on the saprolitic. Immature laterites are found in the center-north hills of the mountain Tepequém. Quartz, muscovite in sub-milimetric plates and kaolinite partially involving the grains of quartz are predominant in soils constitution, while the lateritic profiles are constituted by gibbsite, goethite and hematite, besides quartz and kaolinite. Laterite and quartz fragments constitute the stone lines. High concentrations of SiO2 confirm the essentially quartz-character of the soils, while the values of Al2O3, K2O, MgO, Fe2O3 and TiO2 are more expressive in the saprolitic zones, confirming the kaolinite, muscovite and hematite domain, derived of claystones and siltstones. The radiocarbon ages in coal obtained for the superficial materials (colluvial and stone lines) show that these materials were formed at least 3.822 years BP. The intermountain plains reveal in its landscape erosive features in the piping formations, dolines and gullies, developed in the lands with sandy to silt materials domain. The channels of gullies are mainly aligned in the directions NE-SW and NW-SE corresponding to the directions of fractures and faults that section the Tepequém Formation. The seemingly stabilized gullies are partially covered by ferns that grow on the side and bottom surfaces of the channel. The evolution of the landscape of the mountain of Tepequém specially the formation of its general internal structure involves the tectonic still in Proterozoic. The inherited morphology reflects in the steep scarps around as well as in the top such a great synclinorium. The evolution of the landscape of the mountain of Tepequém during Cenozoic is marked by formation of small hills, some of these protected by lateritic crusts suggesting registration of a humid and hot paleoclimate in Pleistocene, which can admit the installation of the drainage net. The erosive process of the fluvial courses allies with the high gradient favored the transport of part of the sediments to W-SW direction, contributing in the formation of the intermountain plains. The current scenery is marked by the erosive retaking favored by the sandy non-cohesive nature of the soils, ally to a paleorelief inclined to the valleys and strongly fractured and failed that causes a strong shallow surface stormflow propitiating the piping formations, dolines and then the gullies. Thus, the diamond extraction activity can contribute in the intensification of the gullies but, however, it was not the decisive factor. Therefore, the evolution of the landscape of the mountain Tepequém in Proterozoic and in Cenozoic until the present is due to the interaction of multiple processes involving the tectonic history, the weathering changes and the several erosion cycles, as well as the restricted sedimentation and the small anthropic contribution.

Análise mineralógica por difratometria de raios-X e método de análise de agrupamento (cluster analysis) como critério para individualização de horizontes bauxíticos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-03-08) OLIVEIRA, Kelly Silva; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7501959623721607
The formation of wide profile of alteration like as bauxitic deposits on Amazon during Cenozoic period is resultant of intense intemperism caused by seasonal climate, elevated temperature and humidity that are characteristics this region. The bauxitic Province of Paragominas, localized in the east portion the state Pará and west portion of Maranhão, occupies 50,000 km2 approximately forming the largest group of bauxite of Brazil. This work was used X-ray diffractometry, a technique that requires little analysis time, minimum pretreatment steps and small sample amounts, associated with cluster analysis for identify and group samples of same horizon of bauxitic profile of the mine Miltonia 3, Paragominas-PA. The results obtain were correlated with chemical analysis, frequently used for quality control and processing of bauxites. The samples used in this work and your chemical analysis were made available for company Norsk Hydro. The mineralogical types of ore were initially defined through clusters analysis of the XRD patterns of two sections (HIJ-229 e HIJ-231) from polling mesh, with 23 holes each section, and with 375 samples analyzed in all. Based on peak position and intensity of the pattern XRD was possible discern the bauxitics horizons. Due the mineralogic similarity this horizon, the differences found in this group refer principals proportions of minerals constituents: Gibbsite, kaolinite, goethite, hematite, and, more rarely, quartz and anatase. Thought clusters analyses was possible to separate by group a set of similar samples, besides facilitate the analysis of many samples quickly and with efficient results. It was possible yet observe a good correlation of the clusters with the lithotypes identified by the company Norsk Hydro through the results of the chemical analysis. In this way, the analysis of clusters in diffractograms of samples of aluminum ore can be an efficient tool aiding in the protocols of processing of this material.

Tailings dams from ore mining activities are relevant compartment for environmental monitoring because the dam can present undesirable forms of water outlets such as infiltration. The present thesis proposed multielement isotope study in order to evaluate the use of the isotopic composition of oxygen, hydrogen, strontium and lead as a tool for the environmental monitoring of groundwater vulnerable to the tailings dam. This research was conducted in the area of the Serra of Sossego copper mine and, in addition to the isotope study, the hydrochemical characterization of groundwater and surface water was caried out. Besides, the direct reading of the isotopic composition of lead (without chemical treatment of the water sample) was applied for the first time, using multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, in the laboratory Para-Iso. The hydrochemical characterization of groundwater in the Serra do Sossego mine area showed that it is moderately acid (pH ~ 6). Only the AP15 and PS32 wells, under the influence of the drainage of the mixed pile (ore waste + sterile), presented high electrical conductivity (599 μS / cm2 and 694 μS / cm2) and the higher sulfate content (1.82 to 6.57 Meq/L). In general, iron (29.7 mg/L), manganese (69.7 mg/L) and copper (24.9 mg/L) present the highest metal content in the groundwter. In terms of the isotope studies, the groundwater of PS17, PS04, AP15 and PS32 wells and the water of the Dam present the least radiogenic lead isotopic composition. The water sampled in the AP15 and PS32 wells would be representative of the lead isotope signature of groundwater in the mine area (206Pb/207Pb = 1.1481 to 1.1663) and, probably, is indicative of the lead isotope composition of the meteroric water. The lead isotope composition of the groundwater of the wells PS04 (206Pb/207Pb = 1.1784-1.1850) and PS17 (206Pb/207Pb = 1.2100 to 1.2160) may indicate a small contribution of the rocks of the region (206Pb/207Pb > 1.6807). In turn, the lead isotope signature of water of the Dam (206Pb/207Pb = 1.2279) suggests, as expected, a slightly more pronounced contribution of the ore and the rocks. On the other hand, the lead isotopes of the water sampled in the wells MNA23 and PS06 show a more radiogenic signature (206Pb/207Pb = 1.6741 to 1.9196), which is similar to those of the chalcopyrite and the diabase of the Sequeirinho open pit, revealing a more significant contribution of the ore and rocks. As the lead isotope composition of water from the dam is different from that of the groundwater, it can be used for the environmental monitoring of the influence of the water from the dam in groundwater in the Serra of Sossego mine area. In those wells with less radiogenic lead isotope signature, a possible contribution of the water from the dam would result in a more radiogenic lead isotope composition in the groundwater. Conversely, in those wells with more radiogenic lead isotope signature, a contribution of the water dam for the groundwater would decrease the values of the measured lead isotope ratios. On the other hand, the application of the sulfur isotopes for environmental monitoring presented some limitation in the study area, due to the lack of contrast of the sulfur isotope composition among the sulfides of the Sossego deposit (δ 34S ~ 2-7 ‰), the water from the dam (δ 34S ~ 2 ‰), and the drainage of the mixed pile (δ 34S ~ 2‰). This prevents the recognition of a possible contribution of the tailings dam to groundwater. Mixing models using the 87Sr/86Sr ratio as a function of the strontium concentration and δ 18O values, also showed some limitations, since there is no contrast between the values of the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of the water from the dam (0. 7458 to 0.7539) and the rocks of the mine area (granite ~ 0.7474). Such similarity, in principle, would not allow identifying the contribution of the water from the dam. However, since groundwater generally exhibits less radiogenic values of the 87Sr/86Sr ratio (0.7161 to 0.7283) and well below the dam values, the strontium isotopic composition can be used for environmental monitoring of groundwater. Hydrogen and oxygen isotope data revealed that, in the rainy season, the groundwater presented values of δ 18O and δ D varying from -2.74 to -7.17‰ and from -15.6 to -46.0‰, respectively. In turn, an enrichment of 18O and D, with values of δ 18O between -1.67 and -7.29 ‰ and of δ D between -0.23 and -46.1 ‰, is observed in the dry season. Hydrogen and oxygen isotope composition of the water from the dam (δ 18O from 1.24 to 2.79 ‰ and δ D from 1.40 to 7.0 ‰) is very different from those of the groundwater and of the drainage of the pile. A mixing model performed with oxygen and hydrogen isotopes showed that these elements are the ones that best respond as indicators of the contribution of the waters from the dam to groundwater. The application of this model revealed no influence of the water from the dam on the groundwater during the period of this study. The results obtained in this multielement isotopic study suggest that the environmental monitoring of the groundwater of the Serra do Sossego mine to investigate the possible contribution of the water from the dam, can be done more efficiently with the oxygen and hydrogen isotopes. The isotopic compositions of lead and strontium can also be used for monitoring the groundwater, but this has to be done more systematically due to the small contrast between the isotopic composition of these elements in the dam water and in the groundwater. Finally, the isotopic composition of sulfur is the one that would contribute least to the environmental monitoring of the groundwater of the study area.

Aplicação de resíduos da mineração de bauxita na síntese de geopolímeros
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-04-08) BARRETO, Igor Alexandre Rocha; COSTA, Marcondes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1639498384851302; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0134-0432
The process of extraction and beneficiation of bauxite deposits in the bauxite province of Paragominas/Rondon do Pará can generate large amounts of waste, mainly in two stages of the process: mining and processing. In the mining stage of the deposits, the “residue” comes from the removal of a thick layer of clay material (known as Belterra Clay). On the other hand, the “residue” from the beneficiation process is generated after the crushing, grinding and washing stages, which give rise to a large amount of clay material dispersed in a large amount of water. For the present study, it selected Belterra clay from the bauxite deposits of Rondon do Pará, a sample of Bauxite Washing Clay from the Hydro company and a sample of kaolin benefited from Imerys Company. The samples and geopolymers were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Fluorescence (FRX), Gravimetric Thermal Analysis (TG), Differential Exploratory Calorimeter (DSC), Optical Emission Spectrometry with Coupled Plasma (ICP-OES) and Laser Particle Analyzer (APL). Geopolymers were synthesized from Belterra clay, microsilica and NaOH according to the Box-Benkhen design. Synthesis of geopolymers from Belterra clay and beneficiated kaolin was also carried out (a comparative study) using KOH and microsilica. Finally, geopolymers were synthesized from Bauxite washing clay with NaOH and microsilica according to the Doehlert design. In the study with only Belterra clay, the highest resistance result was 47.78MPa and the lowest result was 7.05MPa. In the comparative study between Belterra Clay and beneficiated kaolin, the best results of compressive strength were obtained with the beneficiated kaolin. The compressive strength results of the geopolymers synthesized from the Washing Clay ranged from 8.99 to 41.89MPa. These results demonstrate the positive potential of both samples for the synthesis of geopolymers that can be used as possible “Eco-friendly” substitutes for traditional materials, mainly ceramics and cement.

Aproveitamento dos resíduos cauliníticos das indústrias de beneficiamento de caulim da região amazônica como matéria-prima para fabricação de um material de construção (pozolanas)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-12-18) BARATA, Márcio Santos; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7501959623721607; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3026-5523
The Capim and Jarí regions are the most important kaolin district in the Amazon region, with the largest Brazilian reserves of high whiteness kaolin for paper coating products. Kaolin is obtained from three companies (IRCC, PPSA and CADAM) which produce annually around 1,000 M ton kaolinite-rich wastes derived mainly from the centrifugation phase of the process. The sludge is disposed on artificial sedimentary lakes covering large areas. Another type of kaolin waste is related to a non-processed iron-rich hard or flint kaolin, that overlays the so-called soft kaolin horizon (the main ore). These wastes exhibit appropriate characteristics for the production of high-reactivity metakaolin because they are extremely fine and composed of mainly by kaolinite. The main purpose of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of using these wastes as raw materials to produce mineral admixtures for OPC concretes. The wastes were firstly characterized for x-rays diffraction, thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, x-rays fluorescence and SEM. Three heating temperatures were evaluated: 750ºC, 850ºC and 900ºC, followed by pozzolanic activity tests based on traditional mechanical assays using Portland cement and hydrated lime mortars, and “Chapelle” test. The results showed that the more reactive pozzolans are those produced at temperatures that gave rise to higher LOI. The optimum burning temperature to produce metakaolinite from the hard kaolin was obtained at 750ºC while those from the Rio Jari and Rio Capim wastes were at 850ºC and 900ºC. The main reason is related to differences in the amounts of defects from three different wastes. The flint kaolin and Rio Jari waste are mainly composed by a “high-defect” kaolinite while the kaolinite from Rio Capim waste is a “lowdefect” kaolinite. In concrete test using different pozzolans those with metakaolin from wastes improved the mechanical and durability properties in comparasion to silica fume, a industrially manufactured metakaolin and reference concretes.

Arcabouço estrutural e geocronologia dos granitóides da região de Várzea Alegre: implicações para a evolução crustal da Província Borborema
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-07-25) SOUSA, Luis Kennedy Andrade de; DOMINGOS, Fabio Henrique Garcia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3975188208099791; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2447-3465; GALARZA TORO, Marco Antonio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8979250766799749; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7271-4737
In the Borborema Province, in northeastern Brazil, several granitic batholiths and plutons are found, which are records of subduction and collision episodes related to the Brasiliano Orogeny. Within this large orogenic system, the emplacement mechanisms of many granites are closely related to the development of deep-seated shear zones, one of which is the Patos Shear Zone, which in its western segment is composed of slices of rocks such as granites, gneisses, metapelites, quartzites, and amphibolites that form an imbricated system. In this context, the present work was carried out with the aim of bringing new geochronological and microstructural data to add to the understanding of the nature of the processes that formed and modified the undifferentiated granitoids in the Várzea Alegre region (CE). The granites are classified as Biotite Monzogranite and Garnet Monzogranite, they present phaneritic and porphyritic textures, in some places, their mineralogical composition is mainly composed of plagioclase, K-feldspar, and quartz, in addition to biotite, muscovite, and garnet. The granitoids are composed of elongated bodies concordant with the host rocks. The deformation imposed on the granitic bodies developed ductile structures with NE-SW orientation and kinematic criteria indicate that the deformation occurred predominantly dextral. Microstructural features, observed mainly in rocks near the edges of the granitic bodies, show that quartz crystals exhibit microstructures such as sutured to lobate contacts, undulating extinction, ribbons, and the chessboard pattern, indicative of recrystallization by grain boundary migration (GBM), compatible with temperatures of 500ºC. Biotite crystals that define the mylonitic foliation characterize a spaced foliation that separates microlite domains formed by aggregates of quartz and plagioclase, with asymmetric lenticular geometry in the granites, similar to the foliation impressed on the gneisses of the Granjeiro Complex. Based on EBSD data, the granites exhibit a grain size distribution with a concentration of crystals <100 μm. From the pole figures, the quartz OPC shows that the dominant system was rhombohedral to prismatic, indicating a medium to high deformation temperature, in a context of progressive non-coaxial deformation. However, from the interpretation of the misorientation angle, it is shown that during the deformation history of the granites, these bodies underwent lower temperature deformation. U-Pb geochronological data on zircon provided crystallization ages of 573 to 576 Ma for this granitic magmatism. The Hf-TDM C model ages of these granitoids ranged from 2.84 to 3.30 Ga and the ƐHf(t) values from -21.9 to -29.6 suggesting a strong incorporation of mesoarchean crustal source. Similar Sm-Nd data in whole rock show that these granitoids have Nd-TDM model ages between 2.14 and 3.33 Ga and ƐNd(t) values between -20.02 and -31.79, suggesting a strong contribution from meso paleoarchean and paleoproterozoic crust (orosirian to riacian) to the formation of the granitic magma that originated the granites in the Várzea Alegre region (CE). These granitic bodies are classified as Itaporanga type and sin-transcurrent, as they have similar ages and structural features to other sin-transcurrent granitic bodies in the Borborema Province. These granites were generated from magmatism associated with the change in the predominant deformation in the Borborema Province, which was the result of the final stages of the Brasiliano Orogeny within the context of simple deformation, with the development of large shear zones.

Argamassas históricas de Belém do Pará.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-09-16) LOUREIRO, Alexandre Máximo Silva; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7501959623721607
The city of Belém, northern Brazil, known as the metropolis of the Amazon, was established on the banks of the Guajará Bay on January 12, 1616, with the denomination of Nossa Senhora de Belém do Grão-Pará, capital of the Grão-Pará province, now the state of Pará. Currently, Belém still has layers of lime mortar on its colonial and imperial buildings, which protect the secular structures and provide evidence of how this material was produced early in its history. Over the years, the deteriorating aspects identified in lime mortars, which damage both aesthetics and functionality, are related to the humidity, saline efflorescence, biological colonization, and/or anthropic actions. Once deteriorated, mortars require maintenance, consolidation, or replacement, which are difficult procedures that can lead to the use of inappropriate materials. Therefore, a good collect and characterization strategies of the original material is necessary for the restoration of historical monuments, because in studies focused on restoration science, the intervention strategy needs to include the use of building materials compatible with the original materials. Thus, the main objective of this doctoral thesis is to determine the characteristics and properties of historical mortars in Belém do Pará from the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as to propose a restoration mortars compatible with the historic mortars, which using industrial waste from Amazon Region. Therefore, this thesis was structured in three independent and complementary thematic articles, which addresses the topic of the historical mortars of Belém do Pará, since their characterization until the proposal of restoration mortars: 1) Investigation of the historical mortar of Belém do Pará, Northern Brazil; 2) How to estimate the binder: aggregate ratio from aerial lime-based historical mortars for restoration? and; 3) The use of industrial waste of the Amazon region in lime-metakaolin restoration mortars: compatibility assessment. Thus, the physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics were determined, as well as the physical and mechanical properties of the historical material and the restoration material. The results of the historical mortars characterization pointing their main components, their functions and raw materials, besides indicating the analytical techniques used for binder: aggregate ratio quantification, which obtained good accuracy and reliability in your results. Moreover, the results show a wide range of characteristics and properties obtained through restoration mortars, which can serve as a benchmark for other studies or even for practical applications in historic masonry. Therefore, it was possible to identify the restoration mortars most compatible with the historical mortars of Belém do Pará, Northern Brazil.
