1. Multivariate Optimization of Extraction Variables of PAH in Particulate Matter (PM10) in Indoor/Outdoor Air at Campos dos Goytacazes, Brazil
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are products of incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels, that are produced on a larger scale by anthropogenic sources. Burning sugarcane plantations can be a source of atmospheric PAH in regions where this culture predominates. Campos dos Goytacazes, Brazil, is surrounded by sugarcane crops that still use fire

2. ANODES FOR SOFC: REVIEW OF MATERIAL SELECTION, INTERFACE AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PHENOMENA
This paper presents a comprehensive interface and electrochemical phenomena review of different anodes for SOFC. In this way, it was possible to select some mixed electronic and ionic conductor materials alternatives to the conventional anode, Ni-YSZ conductor. New materials must present a satisfactory electronic and ionic conductivity at intermediate temper

3. Preparation of Fluorescent Carbon-Based Dots from Waste Tire Pyrolysis
The pyrolysis of waste tire has been proposed as an alternative route to its recycling producing residual oils that can be used as fuels. In this work, a physicochemical process to obtain carbon-based dots (CBD) from carbon black (CBL) derivatives of tires is described. For this, the CBL was treated with different acids to produce CBL1 and CBL2 particles sus

4. ELABORAÇÃO E USO DE ANIMAÇÕES COMO ESTRATÉGIA PARA O ENSINO DE MECANISMOS DAS REAÇÕES ORGÂNICAS
The Chemistry of organic compounds is present in many aspects of life on the planet. In addition to many substances in our body being organic compounds, the energy matrix is based on burning fossil fuels, the biodiesel industry is also linked to organic reactions as well as the pharmaceutical industry. However, Organic Reaction Mechanisms is considered one o

6. Pyrolysis of the Caupi Bean Pod (Vigna unguiculata): Characterization of Biomass and Bio-Oil
The use of agricultural residues for the production of bio-oil is an important alternative to the use of fossil fuels. In this study, the Caupi bean pod (Vigna unguiculata) was characterized and used as biomass in the production of bio-oil. This biomass was evaluated in terms of physicochemical, morphological (scanning electron microscopy (SEM)), and thermal

7. Determination of Methanol in Gasoline and Ethanol Fuels by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
Gasoline and ethanol fuels have been adulterated with methanol in Brazil. Methanol is not permitted in concentrations greater than 0.5 vol% due its toxicity but its lower price stimulates the adulteration. A new approach for quantitative analysis of methanol in gasoline and ethanol fuels is reported employing high-performance liquid chromatography coupled wi

8. Assessment of Atmospheric PM10 Pollution Levels and Chemical Composition in Urban Areas near the 2016 Olympic Game Arenas
Coarse particulate matter (PM10) concentrations and chemical composition were monitored from 2014 to 2017 at three sampling sites in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, namely Botafogo, Gávea, and Gericinó. All sites are located close to the 2016 Olympic Game arenas. The average annual PM10 concentrations were above the limits recommended by the Wor

10. THE SUCCESS OF THE BRAZILIAN ALCOHOL PROGRAM (PROÁLCOOL) - A DECADE-BY-DECADE BRIEF HISTORY OF ETHANOL IN BRAZIL
ABSTRACT The National Alcohol Program (Proálcool) was a strategic policy of the Brazilian government to replace petroleum-based fuels with alcohol (ethanol). Based on the review, we can choose the 1960s as a start point for a leap in development. Over the 500 years of sugarcane history in Brazil, the crop enters the second decade of the 21st century with ex

11. ANÁLISE DE AMOSTRAS DE COMBUSTÍVEIS POR FOTOMETRIA, NIR PORTÁTIL E RMN DE 1H - UMA COMPARAÇÃO COM OS RESULTADOS ENCONTRADOS POR TÉCNICAS NORMATIZADAS
It has been recurring adulterations in fuels (such as gasoline, ethanol and diesel), being necessary the exploration of the use of more modern analytical techniques capable of controlling the quality of these fuels, since some regulated tests may be inefficient to detect the adulteration. Among them, it is highlighted proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NM

12. An Overview of the Photocatalytic H2 Evolution by Semiconductor-Based Materials for Nonspecialists
The solar-to-chemical energy conversion is promising to tackle sustainability challenges toward a global future. The production of H2 from sunlight represents an attractive alternative to the use of carboniferous fossil fuels to meet our energy demands. In this context, the water splitting reaction photocatalyzed by semiconductors that can be excited under v
