Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Adsorção de cromo (VI) por carvão ativado granular de soluções diluídas utilizando um sistema batelada sob pH controlado(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2009-09) SOUZA, Renata dos Santos; CARVALHO, Samira Maria Leão de; GARCIA JÚNIOR, Márcio Ronald de Lima; SENA, Rafael dos Santos FernandesIn Amazonia, chromium is mainly used in the leather and wood industries. It is responsible for many health problems, because of its toxicity. These industries remove chromium waste by various processes, such as adsorption. This work shows the results of Cr(VI) adsorption by commercial granular activated carbon (GAC) as adsorbent from diluted solutions, and batch systems with controlled pH. The functional groups on the CAG surface was carried out by the Boehm method. In addition, effect of pH on the Cr(VI) adsorption, adsorption equilibrium, and kinetic were studied under experimental conditions (pH = 6, MA = 6g, for 90min.). On the GAC surface, carboxylic groups were found to be in higher concentrations (MAS=0,43 mmol/gCAG), which increase the Cr(VI) adsorption, principally in acidic pH values. The adsorption capacity is dependent on the pH of the solution, due to its influence on the surface properties of the CAG and different ionic forms of the Cr(VI) solutions. The adsorption equilibrium data was adjusted satisfactorily by the Langmuir isotherm (R2=0,988), favorable type. From kinetics adsorption of 20 mg/L and 5 mg/L, the results were compatible with the national legislation (Res. nº 357/05). Therefore, the experimental system using (CAG) was efficient in removing the Cr(VI) from liquid streams containing low concentrations of the metal.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Obtenção e caracterização de carvão ativado de caroço de buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L. f.) para a avaliação do processo de adsorção de cobre (II)(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2013-03) PINTO, Marcos Vinicios de Souza; SILVA, Denilson Luz da; SARAIVA, Augusto Cesar FonsecaIn the Amazon region some industries discharges copper into watercourse that in high concentrations is toxic to the biota. The removal of copper from industrial effluent is performed by several processes such as adsorption. This work shows the result of copper (II) adsorption on activated carbon obtained from buriti kernel, carbonized at 400 °C and activated at 900 °C. The activated carbon was characterized according to specific area, pore size, apparent and real density, porosity, scanning electron microscopy, ash content, pH, moisture, fixed carbon and surface functional groups. The study of adsorption equilibrium evaluated the influence of the coal particles diameter, contact time adsorbent/adsorbate, pH and copper (II) solution initial concentration on copper (II) remotion. The results showed a higher removal efficiency of copper (II) to the diameter D < 0.595 mm, contact time of 300 minutes, pH of 4.01 and the copper (II) initial concentrations of 50 and 80 mg L-1. The mathematical model of Langmuir was the best fit to the adsorption equilibrium data. From the contact time of 15 minutes, all the equilibrium concentrations were below the allowed maximum of 1,0 mg L-1 provided by law for discharging effluents into receiving bodies.
