    ARAUJO, LEANDRO G. de ; MEDEIROS, VINICIUS L.; GUARNIERI, GUILHERME de P.; SILVA, DANILO A. da; WATANABE, TAMIRES ; MARUMO, JULIO T. ; NERY, JOSE G.. An adsorption agent based on chitosan–zeolite composite: environmental and radioactive liquid waste remediation. Environmental Science: Advances, v. 2, n. 3, p. 484–494, 2023. DOI: 10.1039/d2va00148a

    Abstract: In this article, we present a chitosan–zeolite composite, which was synthesized and used as an adsorbent material for caesium (Cs) removal from aqueous media and real liquid radioactive organic waste (LROW). The compound was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The physicochemical characterization indicates the production of a composite. Adsorption experiments were first performed using the prepared solutions contaminated with Cs using full factorial design with two variables of interest: initial Cs concentration (Cs0) and adsorbent dosage (mg L−1 ). The results indicated a high caesium removal rate with removal values above 93% and adsorption capacity of up to 10 mg g−1 . With the best experimental conditions according to our experimental domain, time was evaluated and equilibrium was reached in 180 min. Finally, the adsorbent material was tested as an adsorbent for Cs, Am, and U from LROW. When in contact with LORW, the removal rates (%) were 21.51 (137Cs), 26.39 (241Am), and 20.26 (U (total)). Although lower, this material indicated that it has the potential to be used for multi-elemental adsorption.

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, v. 330, n. 1, p. 279–292, 2021. DOI: 10.1007/s10967-021-07934-2

    Abstract: Non-consolidated information base, repetitive work, and data unreliability are some of the issues that may hamper a radioactive waste characterization program. Therefore, an algorithmic software model for the characterization of radioactive waste is proposed to boost waste management in nuclear-based facilities. The data obtained have enabled the construction of a guide code in the pseudotechnical language. The developed system fully covered the characterization stage, and met the needs identified in the radioactive waste management service. Here, we propose systematic documentation of the characterization methods that are employed during the radioactive waste management processes, besides formulating the system’s data recording.

Biosorption of uranium from aqueous solutions by Azolla sp. and Limnobium laevigatum. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, v. 29, n. 30, p. 45221-45229, 2022. DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-19128-8

    Abstract: The main goal of this study was to assess alternatives to the current challenges on environmental quality and circular economy. The former is here addressed by the treatment of radioactively contaminated solutions, and the latter by using abundant and low-cost biomass. In this paper, we examine the biosorption of hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) in a batch system using the macrophytes Limnobium laevigatum and Azolla sp. by three operational parameters: biomass dose, metal ion concentration, and contact time. Simulated solutions were firstly addressed with two biomasses, followed by studies with real liquid organic radioactive waste (LORW) with Azolla sp. The batch experiments were carried out by mixing 0.20 g biomass in 10 mL of the prepared solution or LORW. The total contact time employed for the determination of the equilibrium times was 240 min, and the initial U(VI) concentration was 0.63 mmol L−1. The equilibrium times were 15 min for L. laevigatum and 30 min for Azolla sp. respectively. A wide range of initial U(VI) concentrations (0.25–36 mmol L−1) was then used to assess the adsorption capacity of each macrophyte. Isotherm models validated the adsorption performance of the biosorption process. Azolla sp. presented a much higher U(VI) uptake (0.474 mmol g−1) compared to L. laevigatum (0.026 mmol g−1). When in contact with LORW, Azolla sp. removed much less uranium, indicating an adsorption capacity of 0.010 mmol g−1. In conclusion, both biomasses, especially Azolla sp., can be used in the treatment of uranium-contaminated solutions.

Rio de Janeiro: Associação Brasileira de Energia Nuclear, 2019. p. 1357-1366.

    Abstract: Clayey materials have been adopted in most nuclear waste producing countries, as a key constituent in engineered barrier for final disposal facilities at all levels of radioactive wastes (LILW-SL, LILW-LL and HLW). The following study presents a thorough characterization upon five Brazilian clay rich deposits, mostly smectite bearing clays, aiming to evaluate their expected performance as clay buffer under the conditions associated to a Low and Intermediate Level Waste Repository (RBMN); being the former a matter of national strategic interest. Samples coming from the Brazilian states of Bahia, Maranhão, Pará and Paraíba were treated and analyzed by means of X-Ray diffraction as a main technique, and complemented by FTIR, LALLS, XRF and SEM-EDS, in order to stablish mineralogical composition, particle size distribution and chemical composition. Moreover, several standard clay treatments over the <1 μm size fraction were carried out to reveal information regarding layer charge, major interlayer cations, unit formula and other crystal features of smectite species present in a mineralogical assembly, enabling the construction of a molecular model over which would be realistic to simulate the diffusion of radionuclides. Results obtained on 133Cs adsorption experiments indicate that mineralogical composition would probably be the single most influential factor controlling transport capacity of positively charged radionuclides in the current setup, and can be expressed in terms of smectite contents, favoring montmorillonite rich materials containing majorly Na+ as compensating cation in interlayer position. Thus, the obtained data will be useful in the testing of optimal compaction conditions to obtain the most suitable buffer material for the repository design. However, this trend is yet to be contrasted against hydraulic conductivity measurements and swelling pressure to see how they match.

    Abstract: Clayey materials have been adopted in most nuclear waste producing countries as a key constituent in engineered barrier systems for final disposal facilities at all levels of radioactive wastes (LILW-SL, LILW-LL, and HLW). The following study presents a thorough characterization upon five Brazilian clay-rich deposits, mostly smectite bearing clays, aiming to evaluate their expected performance as barrier under the conditions associated to a Low and Intermediate Level Waste Repository; being the former a matter of national strategic interest. Samples coming from the Brazilian states of Paraná, Bahia, Paraíba, and Maranhão were treated and analyzed by means of X-Ray diffraction as main technique. Other techniques such as FTIR, LALLS, XRF, and SEM-EDS, were performed in order to establish the mineralogical composition, particle size distribution, and chemical composition. Moreover, several standard clay treatments over the <1 μm size fraction were carried out to reveal information regarding layer charge, major interlayer cations, unit formula and other crystal features of smectite species present in a mineralogical assembly, aiming to provide information for the construction of a molecular model over which would be realistic to simulate the diffusion of radionuclides. Results obtained on 133Cs adsorption experiments indicate that mineralogical composition would probably be the single most influential factor controlling transport capacity of positively charged radionuclides in the current setup. The composition is especially expressed in terms of smectite contents, favoring montmorillonite rich materials containing majorly Na+ as compensating cation in interlayer position. All tested samples can be considered as suitable candidates to be used in the design of final destination storage for nuclear waste. Thus, efficiency on 133Cs adsorption trials also indicate that these materials could have potential uses as sorptive matrices (Sorbents) for water treatment of radionuclide polluted waters such as TENORM waste waters. However, these trends are yet to be contrasted against hydraulic conductivity measurements and swelling pressure in order to have a more comprehensive perspective of this clayey prospects as barrier enhanced layer; aligned to the multilayer barrier system approach for nuclear waste management.

    Abstract: The study of the gas-solid system was performed through an analysis of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in a fluidized bed reactor. This process begins with the interaction between the particles and the gas phase. The fluidization process analysis is achieved through the Eulerian approach represented in the behavior of the solid phase dynamics during the bed expansion process. Within the process, the formation of the dense phase was demonstrated and how it could affect the effects of temperature, pressure and surface velocity of the gas in the fluidized bed system. The purpose of this work is to establish hydrodynamic parameters by evaluating the volumetric fraction of the particles and the axial and radial velocity profile using the drag models of Syamlal O'Brien and Gibilaro. In addition, it should be considered the analysis of the computational dynamics of fluids, such as the generation of the mesh, the selection of the models, and the run time of the simulation. The results of the simulations showed that the solid phase concentration has had a uniform distribution, a dense phase formation, given the changes in operating conditions and a reasonable expansion of the bed in the final simulation time.

Enhanced removal of radium from radioactive oil sludge using microwave irradiation and non-ionic surfactant. Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, v. 211, p. 1-10, 2022. DOI: 10.1016/j.petrol.2022.110168

    Abstract: Surfactant-based technologies have been studied for the treatment of radioactive waste containing isotopes of radium. Nevertheless, the use of combined processes to remove radium from radioactive oil sludge is scarce in the literature. The objective of this work was to investigate the potential of a non-ionic surfactant to remove radium from raw oil sludge (ROS) and pre-treated, microwave-irradiated oil sludge (POS). Characterization of ROS and POS was made using the following methods: Thermal Gravimetric Analysis, X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, and gamma spectrometry. The effects of surfactant concentration (0.5–7.5%), temperature (25-60 °C), and contact time (30 and 60 min) were investigated. For ROS, little or no influence on the decontamination process was found for variations in the selected process parameters. For POS, the lowest surfactant concentration (2.5%) was the most efficient, removing about 94% of 226Ra and 228Ra. Neither contact time nor temperature affected removal. For ROS, removal percentages were 50–60% for 226Ra and 35–45% for 228Ra. The results indicated that the surfactant acted more efficiently in the decontamination of POS.

Experimental study on treatment of simulated radioactive waste by thermal plasma: temporal evaluation of stable Co and Cs. Annals of Nuclear Energy, v. 160, p. 1-6, 2021. DOI: 10.1016/j.anucene.2021.108433

    Abstract: Thermal plasma technology is a process that demonstrates high performance for the processing of different types of waste. This technology can also be applied in the treatment of radioactive wastes, which requires special care. Beyond that, volumetric reduction, inertization, as well as a cheap and efficient process are necessary. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the application of thermal plasma technology for the treatment of solid radioactive waste. For this, stable Co and Cs were used to simulate compactable and non-compactable radioactive waste; about 0.8 g Co and 0.6 g Cs were added in each experimental test. The experimental tests were conducted using plasma of transferred arc electric discharge generated by the graphite electrode inside the process reactor. The behavior and distribution of the radionuclides present in the waste were assessed during the plasma process. The results show that the significant amounts of Co and Cs leave the melt by volatilization and are transferred to the gas phase with a small portion retained in the molten slag. The retention rate of Co in the slag phase is about 0.03% and 0.30% for compactable and non-compactable waste, respectively. On the other hand, Cs is completely transferred to the gas phase when added to the compactable waste. Conversely, when in the non-compactable waste, only 1.4% Cs is retained.

    Abstract: This study reports the synthesis, physicochemical characterization by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and solid-state MAS NMR (1H, 23Na, 29Si and 89Y and 119Sn MAS NMR) of a stanno and yttrium metallosilicate and their application as a heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production via ethanolysis and methanolysis routes using edible, non-edible an waste oils as feedstocks and environmental remediation. Heterogenous catalytic studies in the transesterification of refined edible, non-edible, and waste oils have resulted in high yields of FAMEs and FAEEs (fatty acid methyl and ethyl esters), nevertheless the highest FAMES (98.2%) and FAEEs (96.6%) yields were obtained for non-edible microalgae oil extracted from the genetically modified heterotrophic algal strain Prototheca moriformis. Catalytic studies also using nonedible macaw palm oil (Acrocomia aculeata) with a high content of free fatty acids (FFAs) demonstrated that the catalyst could simultaneously perform esterification and transesterification reactions using using different sources of lipids feedstocks, notably those that do not compete with food production [1]. On the other hand, Yttrium metallosilicate were very efficient in the separation, binding and chemical stabilization of hazardous inorganic, organic and radioactive species such as lead ( Pb2+, Cd2+, Ba2+ , Cs+ and Sr2+) in aqueous systems.

Inventorying the radionuclides in spent cartridge filters from the primary circuit of a nuclear research reactor by the dose-to-activity method. Radiation Physics and Chemistry, v. 171, p. 1-6, 2020. DOI: 10.1016/j.radphyschem.2020.108710

    Abstract: The high activity of spent cartridge filters from the cooling water polishing system of a nuclear research reactor precludes, in routine work of a waste characterization program, the usual method of radiochemical analysis of filter samples. For this waste, the dose-to-activity method, using a gamma spectrometer and a dose rate meter, is an alternative for the determination of the activities of the gamma emitters with acceptable accuracy. The ratio of photon peak-areas from different radionuclides, corrected by the detector energy-dependent efficiency, allowed estimating the proportions between the activities of the different radionuclides present. Finally, the simulation of the counting geometry, using the point-kernel method to estimate the air dose rate resulting from an arbitrary concentration of those radionuclides and the comparison of the calculated with the measured air dose rate have yielded the needed estimates of the activity concentrations. The aim of this paper is to report the development of the method applied for the determination of the concentration of the gamma-emitters present in cartridge filters from the IEA-R1 Nuclear Research Reactor.

    Abstract: Radiation induced advanced oxidation processes have been proposed for the treatment of various types of wastes. However, electron beam technologies for the removal of recalcitrant compounds in petroleum wastes are still poorly understood. This work aims at evaluating the effects on the degradation of organic matter from oil sludge by electron beam irradiation. The radiometric analysis was also performed to identify radionuclides and measure dose rates. An electron beam accelerator, model Dynamitron II, with variable current up to 25 mA was employed and the irradiation dose values ranged from 20 to 250 kGy. Solutions were prepared with an initial H2O2 concentration of 1.34 mol L 1. Samples without H2O2 addition, but with water were also evaluated. Control tests with dry and pulverized sludge were submitted to irradiation. The effects on the removal of total organic carbon and the sludge degradation are discussed.

    Abstract: This study investigates the performance of the ozonation process in the treatment of petroleum sludge from an offshore production platform situated in Brazil. The effect of operating conditions is studied such as the phase to be treated and the sludge/water ratio. Total organic carbon content increased in O2 and O3 experiments, mainly because of the mixing factor. The decrease of sludge mass was observed in a situation of forced mixing and with only ozone flow. The liquid phase indicated a high TOC value, but very low radioactive activities, whereas the solid phase did not present detectable TOC amounts but significant values of radioactive activity. More experiments and analyzes will be carried out to obtain more relevant results for future discussion.

DOI: 10.1080/01919512.2022.2088470

    Abstract: This is an experimental study on the decolorization efficiency and the degradation of organic compounds from textile wastewater by the ozonation process in a batch system. The effects of different sample volumes of textile wastewater over time were investigated. The experiments were performed in a 1 L glass reactor with a magnetic stirrer and a bubble diffuser at the bottom to feed the ozone. The applied cumulative ozone dosage varied at 120 gO3 L−1, 60 gO3 L−1, and 30 gO3 L−1, and the total interaction time for each test was 1 h. To investigate the physicochemical properties of the textile wastewater (solid and liquid phases) before and after the treatment, multiple analytical characterization methods were used: Thermal Gravimetric Analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, and Spectrophotometer. The most perceptive change was observed in the color of the liquid medium, which turned from black to transparent, and a visual color number indicator known as DurchsichtFarbZahl (DFZ) was used for the evaluation of this process. Absorbance values decreased about 3.5 times after 5 min of treatment with a 0.15 L sample volume, and these values differed for tests with larger sample volumes. FTIR spectroscopy demonstrated that the bands’ intensities associated with the C − H, C − N, and C − O decrease during treatment. On the other hand, it was possible to conclude that combining treatment methods to improve the degradation of persistent compounds after the ozonation process is necessary. Finally, the ozonation of the textile wastewater proved to be effective at removing color due to its high reaction capacity.

    Abstract: An experimental study on the degradation of organic compounds from radioactive oil sludge by the ozonation process is presented. The effects of different concentrations of ozone in the oil sludge degradation over time were investigated. The experiments were performed in a 0.125 L glass reactor with magnetic stirring and a diffuser plate at the bottom to feed the ozone. The ozone concentration varied from 13 to 53 mg L−1 and the total interaction time was 1 h. To investigate the physicochemical properties of the oil sludge (solid and liquid components) prior to and after the treatment, multiple analytical characterization methods were used: Thermal Gravimetric Analysis, X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Spectrophotometer, and Residual Gas Analyzer. The most perceptive change is in the color of the liquid medium turned from dark brown to light yellow, especially under ozone concentrations higher than 33 mg L−1. Absorbance values decreased about 3.5 times after 30 min of treatment with [O3] =53 mg L−1. FTIR spectroscopy showed that the bands associated with the CH3 and CeH in CH2 disappeared during treatment. On the other hand, a greater presence of C]C aromatics was observed. By residual gas analysis, various organic and inorganic gases were identified during the treatment, such as CH4, H2, CO2, and H2S. Finally, the ozonation of the oil sludge proved to be effective, due to its high reaction capacity.

Preliminary immobilization of the untreated waste with cement indicated resistance values very close to the minimum established in national regulation. To treat the waste, an electron beam accelerator, model Dynamitron II, with variable current up to 25 mA was employed and the irradiation doses ranged from 20 to 200 kGy.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-25247-7

    Abstract: Goiânia, the Goiás State capital, starred in 1987, where one of the largest radiological accidents in the world happened. A teletherapy machine was subtracted from a derelict radiotherapy clinic and disassembled by scavengers who distributed fragments of the 50 TBq 137CsCl source among relatives and acquaintances, enchanted by the blue shine of the substance. During the 15 days before the accident was acknowledged, contaminated recycling materials were delivered to recycling factories in four cities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in the form of recycling paper bales. The contaminated bales were spotted, collected, and stored in fifty 1.6 m3 steel boxes at the interim storage facility of the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN). In 2017, a check of the content was performed in a few boxes and the presence of high moisture content was observed even though the bales were dry when conditioned and the packages were kept sealed since then. The main objective of this work was to report the fungi found in the radioactive waste after they evolved for 30 years in isolation inside the waste boxes and their role in the decay of the waste. Examination of the microbiome showed the presence of nematodes and fungal communities. The fungi species isolated were Aspergillus quadricinctus, Fusarium oxysporum, Lecanicillium coprophilumi, Scedosporium boydii, Scytalidium lignicola, Xenoacremonium recifei, and Pleurostoma richardsiae. These microorganisms showed a significant capacity to digest cellulose in our trials, which could be one of the ways they survive in such a harsh environment, reducing the volume of radioactive paper waste. These metabolic abilities give us a future perspective of using these fungi in biotechnology to remediate radioactively contaminated materials, particularly cellulose-based waste.

A pesquisa no RD utiliza os recursos de busca da maioria das bases de dados. No entanto algumas dicas podem auxiliar para obter um resultado mais pertinente.

É possível efetuar a busca de um autor ou um termo em todo o RD, por meio do Buscar no Repositório , isto é, o termo solicitado será localizado em qualquer campo do RD. No entanto esse tipo de pesquisa não é recomendada a não ser que se deseje um resultado amplo e generalizado.

A pesquisa apresentará melhor resultado selecionando um dos filtros disponíveis em Navegar

Os filtros disponíveis em Navegar tais como: Coleções, Ano de publicação, Títulos, Assuntos, Autores, Revista, Tipo de publicação são autoexplicativos. O filtro, Autores IPEN apresenta uma relação com os autores vinculados ao IPEN; o ID Autor IPEN diz respeito ao número único de identificação de cada autor constante no RD e sob o qual estão agrupados todos os seus trabalhos independente das variáveis do seu nome; Tipo de acesso diz respeito à acessibilidade do documento, isto é , sujeito as leis de direitos autorais, ID RT apresenta a relação dos relatórios técnicos, restritos para consulta das comunidades indicadas.

A opção Busca avançada utiliza os conectores da lógica boleana, é o melhor recurso para combinar chaves de busca e obter documentos relevantes à sua pesquisa, utilize os filtros apresentados na caixa de seleção para refinar o resultado de busca. Pode-se adicionar vários filtros a uma mesma busca.

Exemplo:

Buscar os artigos apresentados em um evento internacional de 2015, sobre loss of coolant, do autor Maprelian.

Autor: Maprelian

Título: loss of coolant

Tipo de publicação: Texto completo de evento

Ano de publicação: 2015

Para indexação dos documentos é utilizado o Thesaurus do INIS, especializado na área nuclear e utilizado em todos os países membros da International Atomic Energy Agency – IAEA , por esse motivo, utilize os termos de busca de assunto em inglês; isto não exclui a busca livre por palavras, apenas o resultado pode não ser tão relevante ou pertinente.

95% do RD apresenta o texto completo do documento com livre acesso, para aqueles que apresentam o significa que e o documento está sujeito as leis de direitos autorais, solicita-se nesses casos contatar a Biblioteca do IPEN, bibl@ipen.br .

Ao efetuar a busca por um autor o RD apresentará uma relação de todos os trabalhos depositados no RD. No lado direito da tela são apresentados os coautores com o número de trabalhos produzidos em conjunto bem como os assuntos abordados e os respectivos anos de publicação agrupados.

O RD disponibiliza um quadro estatístico de produtividade, onde é possível visualizar o número dos trabalhos agrupados por tipo de coleção, a medida que estão sendo depositados no RD.

Na página inicial nas referências são sinalizados todos os autores IPEN, ao clicar nesse símbolo será aberta uma nova página correspondente à aquele autor – trata-se da página do pesquisador.

Na página do pesquisador, é possível verificar, as variações do nome, a relação de todos os trabalhos com texto completo bem como um quadro resumo numérico; há links para o Currículo Lattes e o Google Acadêmico ( quando esse for informado).

ATENÇÃO!

ESTE TEXTO "AJUDA" ESTÁ SUJEITO A ATUALIZAÇÕES CONSTANTES, A MEDIDA QUE NOVAS FUNCIONALIDADES E RECURSOS DE BUSCA FOREM SENDO DESENVOLVIDOS PELAS EQUIPES DA BIBLIOTECA E DA INFORMÁTICA.

O gerenciamento do Repositório está a cargo da Biblioteca do IPEN. Constam neste RI, até o presente momento 20.950 itens que tanto podem ser artigos de periódicos ou de eventos nacionais e internacionais, dissertações e teses, livros, capítulo de livros e relatórios técnicos. Para participar do RI-IPEN é necessário que pelo menos um dos autores tenha vínculo acadêmico ou funcional com o Instituto. Nesta primeira etapa de funcionamento do RI, a coleta das publicações é realizada periodicamente pela equipe da Biblioteca do IPEN, extraindo os dados das bases internacionais tais como a Web of Science, Scopus, INIS, SciElo além de verificar o Currículo Lattes. O RI-IPEN apresenta também um aspecto inovador no seu funcionamento. Por meio de metadados específicos ele está vinculado ao sistema de gerenciamento das atividades do Plano Diretor anual do IPEN (SIGEPI). Com o objetivo de fornecer dados numéricos para a elaboração dos indicadores da Produção Cientifica Institucional, disponibiliza uma tabela estatística registrando em tempo real a inserção de novos itens. Foi criado um metadado que contém um número único para cada integrante da comunidade científica do IPEN. Esse metadado se transformou em um filtro que ao ser acionado apresenta todos os trabalhos de um determinado autor independente das variáveis na forma de citação do seu nome.

A elaboração do projeto do RI do IPEN foi iniciado em novembro de 2013, colocado em operação interna em julho de 2014 e disponibilizado na Internet em junho de 2015. Utiliza o software livre Dspace, desenvolvido pelo Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Para descrição dos metadados adota o padrão Dublin Core. É compatível com o Protocolo de Arquivos Abertos (OAI) permitindo interoperabilidade com repositórios de âmbito nacional e internacional.
