Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of trace metals contamination in estuarine sediments using a sequential extraction technique and principal component analysis
Elisangela de Andrade Passos,Jeferson Cavalcante Alves,Izaias Souza dos Santos,José do Patrocínio Hora Alves,Carlos Alexandre Borges Garcia,Antonio Celso Spinola Costa +5 more
TL;DR: Fractionation of the metals Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn was performed for samples collected from eight locations in the Poxim river estuary of Sergipe State, northeast Brazil, using the 3-stage sequential extraction procedure proposed by the European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of BTEX, PAHs and metals in the oilfield produced water in the State of Sergipe, Brazil
Haroldo Silveira Dórea,José Ricardo Lima Bispo,Kennedy Alexandre Souza Aragão,Bruno B. Cunha,Sandro Navickiene,José do Patrocínio Hora Alves,Luciane P. C. Romão,Carlos Alexandre Borges Garcia +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was carried out to evaluate preliminarily the BTEX, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and metals contents in produced water samples taken from effluents of the Bonsucesso treatment plant located in the city of Carmopolis, North-east of Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radioactivity in the environment around past radium and uranium mining sites of Portugal
Fernando P. Carvalho,M. J. Madruga,M. Reis,José do Patrocínio Hora Alves,J. M. Oliveira,J. Gouveia,Lídia Silva +6 more
TL;DR: In several places, mining waste and low-grade uranium ore left on the surface contain radioactivity above regional background, and in the mining facilities where the radioactive ore was chemically extracted, mill tailings contain materials with elevated levels of radioactivity, up to 200 times the levels in unaffected soils of the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosorption of Cr(III) using in natura and chemically treated tropical peats.
Ana Paula S. Batista,Luciane P. C. Romão,Maria De Lara Palmeira de Macedo Arguelho,Carlos Alexandre Borges Garcia,José do Patrocínio Hora Alves,E. A. Passos,E. A. Passos,André Henrique Rosa +7 more
TL;DR: The physicochemical characteristics of three Brazilian peats were investigated using elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and studies of Cr(III) biosorption based on adsorption isotherms, showing that adsorptive efficiency was associated with the amount of organic matter present.
Journal ArticleDOI
The piscine micronucleus test to assess the impact of pollution on the Japaratuba river in Brazil.
Silmara de Moraes Pantaleão,Silmara de Moraes Pantaleão,Ayda Vera Alcântara,José do Patrocínio Hora Alves,Mário Antônio Spanó +4 more
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that the piscine MNT is a useful in vivo technique for the detection of chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment and that the assay shows potential for in situ monitoring of water quality.
