Piper arboreum Aubl. var. arboreum and P. tuberculatum Jacq. (Piperaceae), both known as “pimenta-longa”, are frequently misidentified. Despite the fact that both species are sold as traditional phytotherapeutic products, there are no reports on their quality control. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize leaf and stem herbal drugs of both species using standard methods aiming to establish parameters for botanical authentication and purity degree for their quality control. Size, shape, color, taste, texture, fracture surface and transection characteristics, and leaf venation patterns are macroscopic diagnostic characters useful to distinguish the herbal drugs when they are not powdered. The following characters are useful for diagnostic purposes of the powdered herbal drugs: cuticular and epicuticular wax patterns, types of trichomes, and wall thickening of the tracheary elements, and shape of the hilum of the starch grains. Emergences are key morphological markers for P. tuberculatum herbal drugs. Physicochemical parameter values were similar in herbal drugs of both species, except acid-insoluble ash value which was higher in the P. arboreum var. arboreum stem herbal drugs. Piper arboreum var. arboreum herbal drugs had the highest metal concentrations. Al, Cu, Mn and V concentrations were the highest, whereas Cd, Co and Hg concentrations were the lowest in the herbal drugs of both species. The results obtained can be used as quality control parameters for the herbal drugs of both species.

The formation of solid waste has become a great challenge for the environment preservation due to the lifestyle adopted by modern society, which seeks for practicality and immediacy, and by that, new products are released, and waste formation is increased. The decomposition of waste from various sources creates a dark liquid denominated “slurry”, which presents high concentration of organic and inorganic compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the concentrations of Cd, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn on the ground and percolated liquid produced at the solid waste decomposition site in the metropolitan region of Belém/Pará/Brazil. Fly ashes of mineral coal were used to produce a low-cost zeolitic material, for removing copper, zinc, cadmium, and chrome, which are present at the percolated liquid of the Aurá landfill. The zeolites synthesized by alkaline fusion (ZSH and ZSJ), and without alkaline fusion (ZSD, ZSG, ZSK, ZSO), were characterized by different techniques, such as X-ray fluorescenc espectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The treatment adsorption efficiency of using adsorbent zeolitic material demonstrated viability to be used as an adsorvent agent for the adsorption of metals present at the leachate produced by landfills.
