ENVIRONMENTAL AND MOLECULAR OGRANIC GEOCHEMISTRY LABORATORY
ABOUT
Created in 1989, LAGOA is a laboratory that congregates activities related to molecular geochemistry, petroleomics and an environmental chemistry. The laboratory is accredited by the National Agency of Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels (ANP) and executes partnerships with companies and research groups, with main focus on molecular characterization of complex matrices and geochemical interpretation of petroleum and environmental ecology, environmental pollution and oil spills into the sea.
Petroleomic
Molecular chemical characterization of petroleum, one of the most complex organic mixtures in the world and of great economic value.
Molecular Organic Geochemistry
Use of fossil biomarkers in studies of biogenic or anthropogenic origin of organic matter in different matrices.
Characterization of biofuels, by-products and biomass
Qualitative and / or quantitative analysis of individual components, focusing on hydrocarbons and polar compounds from crude samples.
Characterization of complex matrices
Determination of the organic components of samples by chromatographic techniques coupled to mass spectrometry and ultra high resolution mass spectrometry.
Geochemical characterization of oils and rocks
Geochemical evaluation of oils and reservoir rocks as to origin, maturation and degree of biodegradation, through the study of the qualitative and quantitative composition of biomarkers.
Isotopic Carbon Analysis
Determination of carbon delta 13 in analyzes of individual organic substances from fossil matrices and biofuels.
