    Hidroquímica do rio Solimões na região entre Manacapuru e Alvarães: Amazonas - Brasil
    (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2009) QUEIROZ, Maria Mireide Andrade; HORBE, Adriana Maria Coimbra; SEYLER, Patrick Thierry; MOURA, Candido Augusto Veloso
    The present study evaluated the physical and chemical characteristics of the water of the rivers Solimões, Purus and their tributaries, collected in November of 2004 in the State of Amazonas between the cities of Manacapuru and Alvarães and Anamã and Pirarauara. Physical-chemical analyses (temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, Ca2+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, HCO3-, SO42-, Cl-), and trace-elements (Li, B, Al, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Mo, Cd, Sb, Cs, Ba, Pb, La, Ce e U) and Sr isotopes were accomplished. The analyzed parameters and the chemical composition show that the waters of the rivers and tributaries of the central region of the Amazonia are chemically distinct between them. The white waters of Solimões are calcium-bicarbonate and of Purus are bicarbonates, and the respectives tributaries are sodium-potassium-bicarbonate and sodium-potassium-sulphate. This causes the white poorly acided waters to the neutrals and more conductives, while the black ones are less mineralized, more acids, mainly of Purus. The Ba, Sr, Cu, V e As in highest levels differentiate the Solimões white waters of the Purus`s waters, well as the tributaries of the first related to the second. This complex of caracteristics indicates that the Solimões as the Purus and their respectives tributaries are submitted to geological/ambiental distinct conditions. The influence of arrives in port of sediments of Andes is diluted at the currency of basin of the Solimões and it reflects on formation of fertile valleys Solimões and Purus. By another view, the crust rocks, represented by the Shields of the Guianas and Brasileiro both contribute, but in a reduced proportion.

    Mineralogia e química dos sedimentos de fundo do médio e baixo Madeira e de seus principais tributários: Amazonas - Brasil
    (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2011) QUEIROZ, Maria Mireide Andrade; HORBE, Adriana Maria Coimbra; MOURA, Candido Augusto Veloso
    This study reports the granulometric, mineralogic and chemical analyses, including Pb isotope, carried out on the bottom sediments of the Madeira River, whose headwaters are in the Andes Mountain, and its tributaries that come from the cratonic region, in order to investigate the compositional variation of the sediments transported by the major rivers of the Amazon. The analytical data show that the bottom sediments of the Madeira River have higher amounts of sand and quartz, and lower contents of Al2O3, Fe2O3, K2O, MgO, Na2O, PF, TiO2O, P2O5, MnO and trace elements, and the maturity increases toward downstream. Among the tributaries, the bottom sediments from Machado and, secondarily, Marmelos rivers are those that more closely match the composition of the sediments of Madeira River. The sediments of Jamari River, with higher proportion of Ti2O, Zr, Y, Nb, Ga, Hf, U, Ta and REE, are quite distinct. In spite of the intense weathering and erosion, in humid tropical conditions, that the rocks drained by the Madeira river basin have been submitted, the Th/Co, Th/Pb, Th/Yb, Al/Pb, Zr/Co ratios and Pb isotope data indicate that different sources contributed to the bottom sediments. It is suggested that mafic rocks are the main source of the sediments of the Madeira River, while felsic rocks are the source of the tributaries.

    Retenção do dimetoato e sua relação com pH e teores de argila e matéria orgânica nos sedimentos da zona não-saturada de uma microbacia no nordeste paraense
    (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2007-06) LIMA, Lilianne Maia; SOUZA, Eliene Lopes de; FIGUEIREDO, Ricardo de Oliveira
    On smallholder farms of eastern Amazonia, in particular the northeast of the Pará state, heavy by pesticide applications at industrial half-perennial crops are very common. Due to their large use, mainly the dimethoate, in the catchment of the Cumaru stream, Igarapé-Açu county, we evaluated the retention process of this compound in samples of the non saturated zone, as well as verified the effects of soil pH and clay and organic mater contents in this process. Among the main pesticides the farmers use in this region, dimethoate was selected for this study, due to its larger leaching potential according to the GUS (Groundwater Ubiquity Score) index. A sorption experiment was carried out to evaluate the retention of the dimethoate in sediments in the non saturated zone. The experiment showed that the sorption of the dimethoate varied from 2.5% to 36.2% (initial concentration of 20 mg.l-1) and from 6.2% to 31.0% (initial concentration of 10 mg.l-1). These data demonstrate a high contamination potential of the groundwater by this compound, mainly due to its high mobility and low retention capacity. The dimethoate sorption rates were positively related to organic matter content in the sediments. On the other hand, values have an inverse relationship with the sorption rates of dimethoate, while clay content did not produce any effect on its retention.
