Fabio A. Duarte,Paola A. Mello,Cezar A. Bizzi,Matheus A.G. Nunes,Elizabeth Marques Moreira,Mauricio S. Alencar,Heloisa N. Motta,Valderi L. Dressler,Erico M.M. Flores +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied ultrasound to diesel oil and petroleum product feedstock containing model sulfur compounds (benzothiophene, dibenzothiophen, and dimethyldibenzethiophene).
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical methods for the determination of halogens in bioanalytical sciences: a review
Paola A. Mello,Juliano Smanioto Barin,Fabio A. Duarte,Cezar A. Bizzi,Liange O. Diehl,Edson I. Muller,Erico M.M. Flores +6 more
TL;DR: The commonest sample preparation methods, as extraction and decomposition using combustion and pyrohydrolysis, are reviewed, as well as spectrometric and electroanalytical techniques, spectrophotometry, total reflection X-ray fluorescence, neutron activation analysis, and separation systems using chromatography and electrophoresis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of Halogens in Coal after Digestion Using the Microwave-Induced Combustion Technique
Erico M.M. Flores,Marcia F. Mesko,Diogo P. Moraes,Juliana S.F. Pereira,Paola A. Mello,Juliano Smanioto Barin,Günter Knapp +6 more
TL;DR: The microwave-induced combustion technique was applied for coal digestion and further determination of bromide, chloride, fluoride, and iodide by ion chromatography, and F was determined by an ion-selective electrode with agreement better than 95% to the values obtained using IC.
Journal ArticleDOI
