An alternative method for the analysis of the aforementioned CLAs by fast gas chromatography (GC) is discussed in the present study. The fatty acid methyl ester mixture obtained by alkaline catalysis was injected into a GC equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) and fitted with an ionic liquid SLB-IL111 chromatographic column (15 m × 0.10 mm × 0.08 µm). Separation was achieved in less than 5 min using a 168 °C isotherm run. Both CLA isomers were quantified by using of single point standard addition statistical approach. Results were contested to those obtained using the recommended 100 m long CP-Sil88 capillary column and none evidence of significant differences was found within 95% confidence interval. Therefore, the proposed method could be valuable to focused regulatory routines of large numbers of samples with greater analytical frequency.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68271158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, waste from the laboratories of the University of Évora (Portugal) was surveyed from 2007 to 2021, using existing records. In the 15 years under analysis, the laboratories of the University of Évora generated about 61 tonnes of waste, 88% of which were hazardous and 66% were in the liquid state. In addition, only 3% of this waste was subjected to recovery operations. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to a double increase in hospital waste generated and to a substantially decreased of hazardous liquid waste from the laboratory activity, especially in the first year of the pandemic. In 2021, the second year of the pandemic, there was a “return to normality”, reaching the highest value of waste generated in the laboratories, of 8.6 tonnes. Finally, possible solutions for improving laboratory waste management were also discussed.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68271577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A bismuth-antimony film electrode (Bi-SbFE) was employed for accumulative preconcentration of trace metals by adding 4 mg L-1 of bismuth and 1 mg L-1 of antimony directly to the sample solution and simultaneously depositing bismuth, antimony, and trace cadmium and lead target metals on the glassy carbon electrode by applying a fixed potential of –1.1 V versus the Ag/AgCl reference electrode for 300 s. Pre-treatment parameters for mineralization of the sample were optimized using the wet acid digestion procedure. Under the optimum conditions, linear calibration graphs ranging 20-200 µg L-1 for Cd and Pb were obtained with detection limits of 0.22 and 0.62 µg L-1 and limits of quantitation 0.73 and 2.07 µg L-1, respectively. Reproducibility values for seven replicate analyses of 50 µg L-1 Cd and Pb were 3.6 and 3.3%, respectively. The developed method was successful for Cd and Pb analyses in Thai rice wine samples and results were validated by the flame atomic absorption spectrometric method. Most samples were not contaminated with Cd and Pb. The amount of Cd contaminants in only one of rice wine sample was still lower than the maximum permitted level of Cd in wine.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68271745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five routines were proposed to apply data processing and PCA calculation focusing data from laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), EDXRF, and heat maps preparation. These routines can be used in various softwares such as MatLab, Octave, R, and Python. PCA was applied in three examples; the first was for concentrations, and the other two were for spectra. An example of heat maps assembling a hyperspectral image of a printed circuit was also described. In addition, a playlist was created on YouTube using the available examples. Therefore, with this tutorial, it may be possible to learn how to deal with a large volume of data by applying PCA.

In this review, a general analysis of the approaches and theoretical models which had been used to explain the electronic absorption spectrum of α-Fe2O3, from the first proposal presented by Tandon and Gupta (1970) to the more recent results obtained by quantum mechanical calculations, is presented. The analysis of the already published studies is made pointing out the main factors that must be considered to allow a more reliable understanding of the UV-Vis-NIR spectra of α-Fe2O3. Furthermore, controversies in the calculated results are discussed, analysing the suitability of each of the approaches used.

The conformational search was performed at MPWB1K/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory and 68 distinguishable conformers for MB and transition state located. The multistructural and torsional anharmonicity effects were corrected through the rovibrational partition functions calculated with the multistructural method based on a coupled torsional potential, MS-T(C).

After fitting the rate constants in a four-parameters equation, the activation energy showed a temperature dependence. The product branching ratios indicate a preference for (Rα) until 500 K.

Gilbert Newton Lewis was a distinguished scientist in 20th century History of Chemistry. His work remains relevant for physical chemistry, organic chemistry and coordination chemistry nowadays. Lewis is well known by his propose for chemical bond, based on electron sharing. In 1923 he published two theoretical explanations for acids and bases: the former collaborating with Bronsted and Lowry and the later in his book Valence and the Structure of Atoms and Molecules (1923). In this book, the role of electron pairs in acid base reactions was highlighted decentering explanations from detachment/transfer of hydrogen ion. As a result, more substances could be classified as acids and bases. Also, in the context of organic and coordination chemistry new interpretations for reaction mechanisms showed up. The paper translated here, Acids and Bases (1938), makes a strong empirical description of acids and bases behavior. Lewis designed phenomenological criteria as speed of neutralization reactions, strength of the species acid-base titrations, and its applications as catalysts. In this manuscript, we carried out a commented translation of Lewis Acids and Bases published in 1938, considering it an inspiring source for research and educational applications for Portuguese speaking countries.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68271323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
