Abstract in Portuguese
Foram realizadas medidas de espectroscopia gama simples, de espectroscopia gama-gama em anti-coincidência e coincidência em dezessete amostras de rochas vulcânicas irradiadas com nêutrons térmicos. Foram determinadas, utilizando cálculo covariante, 33 elementos químicos (Al, As, Ba, Ca, Ce, Cl, Co, Cr, Cs, Dy, Eu, Fe, Hf, K, La, Lu, Mg, Mn, Na, Nd, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Sr, Ta, Tb, Th, Ti, U, Yb, Zn e Zr), dos quais 21 elementos traço. Foi determinado o limite máximo de detecção para o irídio em 11 amostras. Foi obtido um valor máximo de 0,7 ppb. Os resultados foram comparados com o processo astrofísico de formação da Terra. A concentração de urânio e tório variou entre 3 ppm e 9 ppm, com exceção das amostras de Kilimanjaro, que variou entre 40 ppm e 45 ppm. Abaixo da concentração de 12 ppm presentes na crosta terrestre. Espera-se concentrações menores devido a estimativas de tório e urânio através do calor emitido pela Terra. Foram determinados 10/17 lantanídeos, com destaque para a abundância de Ce em Kilimanjaro, cujos valores obtidos foram de 272 (6) ppm e 319 (11) ppm.

Abstract in English
Single gamma ray spectroscopy, gama-gama coincidence and anticoincidence spectroscopy have been performed to study 17 volcanic rocks irradiated with neutrons. We have determined, using covariant calculations, 33 chemical elements including 21 trace elements: Al, As, Ba, Ca, Ce, Cl, Co, Cr, Cs, Dy, Eu, Fe, Hf, K, La, Lu, Mg, Mn, Na, Nd, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Sr, Ta, Tb, Th, Ti, U, Yb, Zn e Zr. We set a maximum limit of detection for iridium in 11 samples. We have determined a maximum value of 0,7 ppb. The results were associated to the astrophysical process that led to the Earth formation. Thorium and uranium abundance ranged between 3 ppm e 9 ppm, except for the samples of Kilimanjaro, which ranged from 40 ppm to 45 ppm. Less than 12 ppm, the Earth's Crust abundance of thorium and uranium. Using the heat emitted by Earth to estimate the abundance of them led to significant lower values. We have also determined 10/17 lanthanides, like Ce that has an abundance of 272 (6) ppm and 319 (11) ppm, in the case of Kilimanjaro's samples.
