Platinum group metals (PGM’s) are precious and rare metals used in many existing and emerging technologies such as electronics, catalysts, energy and medical appliances, among others. PGM’s applications and demand are growing rapidly, and their supply is short and considered critical. Recycling of residues containing PGM’s is therefore mandatory, in order to allow the continuity of supplying. The main market sh...
The use of sulfate-reducing bacteria in bioremediation process for the treatment of afluents with high-content of sulfate and metal generates an excess of sulfide.
In this paper some results on the application of four N,N’-tetrasubstituted malonamide derivatives for the extraction and separation of platinum-group metals (PGMs) are presented. The above mentioned extractants were specifically synthesized in order to evaluate their efficiency for the extraction of a specific metal, or group of metals, from aqueous chloride matrices. Different behaviours were obtained towards...
During the metabolism of organic matter (CH2O), sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) use sulfate as the terminal electron acceptor, resulting in the production of H2S. This biologically generated sulfide, in the presence of metal ions, can be used for metal precipitation (Bhagat et al., 2004). The use of SRB in bioremediation processes, namely, in the reduction of highcontent sulfate and metal effluents, is well doc...
Plantas sob forte sombreamento (2% ou 6% da luz solar direta) apresentaram, em relação às plantas sob maior nível de luz, menor biomassa, menores taxas de crescimento, menor razão raiz/parte aérea, menor massa foliar específica (MFE), menor razão clorofila a/b e maior razão de área foliar (RAF). Com o aumento da irradiância as plantas apresentaram três tipos de comportamento, dependendo da quantidade de luz dad...
