RESUMOA cachaça, bebida genuinamente nacional, é um produto de grande aceitação nos mercados interno e externo. Durante o processo de produção há alguns pontos críticos, ocorrendo a formação de contaminantes que podem afetar a qualidade da bebida, sendo necessário o conhecimento de sua composição química. Com este trabalho, objetivou-se comparar o comportamento do cobre, quando presente em solução alcoólica 40% e uma aguardente comercial (utilizando sulfato de cobre pentaidratado como fonte desse mesmo metal), além de avaliar a remoção de cobre na bebida, utilizando dois aluminossilicatos (zeólita e bentonita) comumente empregados na adsorção de metais. A zeólita e bentonita adsorveram mais cobre quando estiveram presentes em solução alcoólica do que em aguardente. Esses resultados sugerem que o cobre em aguardente deva estar ligado a moléculas volumosas, dificultando sua entrada nos pequenos poros da argila bentonita e da zeólita ZSM-5. Quando os aluminossilicatos estiveram presentes na aguardente impregnada com cobre em alambique, a bentonita foi mais eficiente na remoção do cobre do que a zeólita; no entanto a zeólita é mais recomendada na remoção do cobre, pois a redução das concentrações dos componentes secundários foi menor, não descaracterizando a bebida.Termos para indexação: Aguardente, cobre, adsorção. ABSTRACTThe "cachaça", a genuinely national drink, is a product of great acceptance in the domestic and international markets. Therefore, we need to know its chemical composition, as in the production process a few critical points due to the presence of contaminants that can affect the quality of the drink. This work is aimed to compare the behaviour of copper, when present in a 40% alcohol solution and a "cachaça" trade (using copper sulfate pentahydrate as a source of the same metal), in addition to evaluating the removal of copper in the spirit, using two aluminosilikate (zeolite and bentonite) commonly employed in the adsorption of metals. The zeolite and bentonite adsorbed more copper when were present in alcoholic solution than in spirits. These results suggest that copper in spirits should be linked to large molecules, hampering its entry in the small pores of the bentonite clay and zeolite ZSM-5. When the aluminosilikate were present in spirit impregnated with copper still in the bentonite was more efficient in the removal of copper than zeolite, although the zeolite is recommended in the removal of copper in the spirit, because the reduction of concentrations of the components side was lower, not losing its peculiar feature.
Recebido em 25/1/09; aceito em 2/10/09; publicado na web em 24/2/10In this work, the oxidation of methylene blue textile dye in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, using niobium oxide impregnated with different proportions of tin (1, 5 and 10% in mass) as catalyst was studied. The materials were characterized by TPR, XPS, XRD and FTIR. The oxidation tests monitored by ESI-MS showed that the composite containing the higher amount of tin was the most efficient in the removal of the dye. The XRD, XPS, and TPR data presented evidence of the formation of the tin-niobium oxide composite containing Sn 0 and supported SnO 2 .
