Este lago abrange oito municipios situados entre os paralelos 19,05oS e 18,20°S e os meridianos 44,95oW e 45,50oW. A amostragem de aguas superficiais foi feita em julho de 2018 em 58 pontos, distribuidos ao longo do segmento fluvial represado pela barragem hidreletrica. Analisaram-se os parâmetros quimicos totais (detergente; sulfato; amonia; nitrito; nitrato; fosforo; aluminio; zinco; ferro; manganes; boro) e os parâmetros fisico-quimicos in situ (temperatura, pH, condutividade eletrica, oxigenio dissolvido, total de solidos dissolvidos, turbidez, cor aparente). Os resultados foram comparados a Resolucao do Concelho Nacional de Meio Ambiente (CONAMA) 357/05 e Portaria do Ministerio da Saude (MS) n°518. Alguns resultados obtidos estao no limite dos valores estabelecidos pela legislacao, outros ultrapassam o limite, mostrando o potencial de suscetibilidade ambiental da area. Destaca-se negativamente a concentracao do Aluminio que ultrapassou em todos os pontos o limite legal. A concentracao do sulfato e dos compostos nitrogenados, nao ultrapassaram as concentracoes dos limite normativos.

The present study investigated the distribution of heavy metals in the river sediments of the Santa Bárbara River Watershed (Minas Gerais, Brazil). The study area suffered from problems related to mining and several high impact activities, such as farming, forestry, and reforestation for charcoal production. Surface sediments were collected at four points in the Conceição, Caraça, and Santa Bárbara rivers. These sediments were analyzed for exchangeable, reducible, oxidizible, and residual fractions through the sequential extraction procedure that was proposed by the European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR). The results indicate that the Cd and Pb are mostly present in the reducible fraction, while Fe, Ni, Cr, and Zn were predominantly found in the residual fraction, Mn and Cu are the elements that proportionally present more exchangeable fractions and greater mobility. Factors such as pH and redox potential influence several processes which alter the mobility of metals, such as adsorption and complexation. The values of these parameters have shown that the sampled points have reducing and acidic characteristics. The identification of the geochemical stages of metals in sediments allowed for the comprehension of the contamination in the medium and the identification of possible sources. This enables the assessment of the quality of the sediments in the studied watershed and serves as a reference for the monitoring of the anthropic effect to the environment.","PeriodicalId":34597,"journal":{"name":"Geochimica Brasiliensis","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46620925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the mechanisms that govern hydrocarbons biodegradation represents a crucial issue for the management of contaminated areas. For this reason, numerical simulations of reactive transport were performed to evaluate the conceptual geochemical model and to helpunderstand the mechanisms that govern BTEX biodegradation in a lateritic aquifer contaminated by large aviation fuel. The feasibility of previously proposed conceptual model linking geochemical zonation with BTEX mineralization and secondary reactions was evaluated by means of reactive transport models. The representation of the simulated chemical speciation of the studied hydrocarbon-contaminated aquifer is best supported when PCO 2 is fixed and dissolved oxygen, potentially present due to mass transfer from entrapped air, is considered in the model. These findings suggest the need for both constraints to be considered in the reactive transport models involving hydrocarbon biodegradation.","PeriodicalId":34597,"journal":{"name":"Geochimica Brasiliensis","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47993445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding and knowing the estuarine geochemical behavior allows us to identify environmental strategies for a balanced exploitation of these ecosystems. The present work aimed to geochemically characterize the low course of the Una River through the analysis of physical-chemical parameters in water (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, Eh, conductivity, turbidity and total dissolved solids) and metals (Ni, Cu, Cd, Pb and Cr) in water and suspended particulate matter. The samples were collected in the dry season in October 2012 and in the rainy season in May 2013. The highest values of metals were Ni, Cu and Pb in the suspended particulate matter. Cd was the only trace element present in the dissolved fraction, indicating a possibility of water contamination due to the surrounding anthropic activities. In general, the values of trace metals are considered high when compared with the established sediment indices.","PeriodicalId":34597,"journal":{"name":"Geochimica Brasiliensis","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49034150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
