Resumo
O óleo fúsel é o co-produto da destilação do etanol e é formado pela mistura de álcoois superiores (álcoois com mais de 3 carbonos), ésteres, aldeídos, entre outros. O volume de óleo fúsel produzido em média é 2,5 L de óleo fúsel por 1000 L de etanol, sendo utilizado como combustível nas caldeiras das usinas, bem como precursores de ésteres utilizados em indústrias de cosméticos e em fabricação de plásticos. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver um sensor eletroquimico (GCE/RGO/AuNP/MIP) baseado em polímeros molecularmente impressos (MIP), utilizando o pirrol (Py) como monômero, contendo nanopartículas de ouro (AuNP) e óxido de grafeno reduzido (RGO) para a determinação do álcool isoamílico, um dos componentes do óleo fusel. Foram realizados estudos eletroquímicos, como estudo de velocidade de varredura, para determinar reversibilidade do sistema e diagnosticar o controle do processo eletródico. Após os estudos eletroquímicos, foram realizadas caracterização morfológica por Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura com Canhão de Emissão de Eletrons com efeito de campo (MEV-FEG) e caracterização eletroquimica por Espectroscopia de Impedancia Eletroquímica (EIS). Após a caracterização, foi avaliada a performance analítica do sensor GCE/RGO/AuNP/MIP, utilizando um intervalo de concentração de 1,0×10-7 até 1,0×10-4 mol L-1, encontrando um limite de detecção de 8,2×10-8 mol L-1. Foi determinada a concentração de álcool isoamílico em amostra de óleo fúsel pelo método de adição de padrão e o valor encontrado foi de 1,6×10-4 mol L-1. O método foi validado através de ensaio de recuperação, mostrando que o sensor desenvolvido é promissor para a utilização em determinação de álcool isoamílico em óleo fúsel.
The fusel oil is co-product of the distillation of ethanol and is formed by the mixture of higher alcohols (alcohols having more than 3 carbons) esters, aldehydes, etc. The volume of fusel oil produced on average is 2.5 L fusel oil by 1000 L of ethanol, used as fuel in the boilers of the plants, as well as esters of precursors used in the cosmetics and plastics manufacturing. This study aimed to develop an electrochemical sensor (GCE/RGO/AuNP/MIP) based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), using pyrrole (Py) as the monomer, containing gold nanoparticles (AUNP) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) for determining the isoamyl alcohol, one of fusel oil components. They were conducted electrochemical studies, such as study of scanning speed, to determine system reversibility and diagnose the control of the electrode process. After the electrochemical studies were conducted morphological caractrização by Scanning Electron Microscopy with Electrons Emission Cannon with field effect (SEM-FEG) and electrochemical characterization by spectroscopy Electrochemical Impedance (EIS). After the characterization, the analytical performance of the GCE/RGO/AuNP/MIP sensor was evaluated using a concentration range of 1.0×10-7 to 1.0×10-4 mol L-1, encountering a detection limit 8.2×10-8 mol L-1. Was determined the concentration of isoamyl alcohol in a sample of fusel oil by standard addition method and the value found was 1.6×10-4 mol L-1. The method was validated by recovery test, showing that the sensor is designed promising for use in determining isoamyl alcohol fusel oil.
