Kaolin is a product originated by the weathering action of aluminum silicates, such as feldspars, which in the Amazon region is favored by warm and humid climate. Used in fabrication of refractory, cement, pharmaceuticals, catalysts, paper coating and filler and other several purposes. This study aims to characterization and comparison of kaolins for paper coating and in natura from different regions in Pará ( Rio Capim, Jarí and Vila do Conde) of sedimentary origin with kaolins used as reference materials (IPT-28, IPT-32, IPT-42, KGa-1b e KGa-2). The characterizations were carried out by methods of chemical, physical and mineralogical analyses: Particle size distribution, X-Ray Diffraction, X-Ray Fluorescence, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Differential Thermal Analysis. The results showed as main mineral phase in all kaolin studied the kaolinite, with different degrees of "crystallinity". The Amazon kaolins presented high and low degree of structural order as well as reference materials. With respect to the properties of chemical composition, both materials showed levels of SiO2 + Al2O3 above 90%, low levels of Na2O and TiO2, with average of 0.6% and 1.92%, respectively for the reference materials, and for amazon kaolins were 0.3% and 1.62% to TiO2. The particle size analysis showed variances of the D50 from 0.7 to 9 µm to the amazon kaolins and from 1.7 to 6 µm to the reference materials. The sedimentary amazon kaolins, with low levels of impurities and found in large quantities, suggest a strong potential for use as reference kaolins.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-03-31) ROCHA JUNIOR, Carlos Augusto Ferreira da; NEVES, Roberto de Freitas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9559386620588673; 9559386620588673
The main purpose of this work is zeolite synthesis of faujasite type (X and Y) from kaolin from the beneficiation process for paper coating, hard kaolin or Flint (mining of waste), tube press kaolin and filler kaolin. For each process zeolitização kaolin used in a chemical reactor a product of calcination of each material (metakaolin), sodium metasilicate, solid sodium hydroxide and distilled water, subjected at 110 ° C, reaction time 13 h Si / Al ratio of 2, 4 and 6. The products of each zeolite synthesis as well as the starting kaolin were characterized by chemical, physical and mineralogical analyzes such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, electron microscopy scan and thermal analysis. From these tests, it was observed that all the kaolin showed the formation of faujasite zeolite, but with differences in the peak intensities and their associations with other zeolite phases. Hard kaolin showed a lower potential zeolitization into the Si / Al ratio equal to 2 compared with the other two supposedly related to the iron present in its composition, thus made was a removal process of this constituent, by Mehra and Jackson method to verify a possible maximization in the synthesis process. New results indicated a complete modifications to the area and degree of structural order of faujasita phase, now moving into a major phase and there is an increase in the degree of structural order. As this reaction condition for consumption and a lower cost of raw materials and energy for calcination This medium was used as a starting point for an experimental design to evaluate the best reaction conditions. This design was varied some parameters of the synthesis as temperature, reaction time, Si / Al ratio and H2O / Na2O. The results of the statistical design showed the formation of faujasite in 32 points of study, as well as a great region with 8 points of planning, in this region point 13 proved the best reaction conditions. The zeolite synthesized at this point, showed an increase of ammonium adsorption capacity and percentage near 85 % efficiency up to 60 ppm. The Langmuir model was more suitable than the Freundlich and Sips in agreement with experimental data. The thermodynamic parameters showed that adsorption of NH4 + is a spontaneous and exothermic process, in which the temperature rise from 25 to 60 ° C promotes a small decrease in the adsorption capacity.

Síntese de zeólita do tipo faujasita: comparação entre caulim beneficiado e caulim flint
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-06) ROCHA JUNIOR, Carlos Augusto Ferreira da; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; NEVES, Roberto de Freitas
The main purpose of this work is the synthesis of faujasite zeolite using three different kinds of kaolin from the Amazon region, Brazil: two kaolin from the beneficiation process for paper coating and hard or flint kaolin, a non-processed kaoling from the mining site. Analysis of the reaction products of kaolin showed the formation of faujasite zeolite. Flint kaolin showed a lower potential with respect to zeolitization ratio Si/Al equal to 2, compared to processed kaolins, probably related to the iron present in the structure. New results show a complete change in the formation of faujasite, which turns to be the main mineralogical phase after iron removal.

Síntese de zeólitas a partir de cinza volante de caldeiras: caracterização física, química e mineralógica
(2012-03) ROCHA JUNIOR, Carlos Augusto Ferreira da; SANTOS, Suzianny Cristina Arimatéa; SOUZA, Célio Augusto Gomes de; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; NEVES, Roberto de Freitas
Along the years, worldwide industrial development has causing a growing generation of residues, bringing potentials environmental problems. A study of the characteristics of these wastes, as well as the development of techniques for their use in new processes becomes indispensable for the environment preservation. The main purpose of this work is to evaluate the possible use of two important industrial residues from the Amazon region for zeolite synthesis: (a) the fly ash (particle size < 100 µm) that comes from burning of mineral coal in boiler; and (b) the microsilica, a by-product of the reaction between quartz and coal in the production of metallic silicon and alloys iron-silicon.The following chemical, physical and mineralogical characterization methods were carried out: X-ray diffractometry, X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, granulometric analysis, differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis (DTA-TG). The analyses were carried out at the following conditions: 60, 100, 150 and 190 °C, Na2O/A2O3 molar ratio of 5 and Si/Al molar ratio ranging from 2.12 to 15, and reaction time of 24 h. The results of the fly characterization demonstrate its enormous potential as raw material for the zeolite synthesis. SiO2 and Al2O3 represent more than 50% of its composition, mineralogical phases defined, low humidity content, low particle size (d90 < 10 µm), among others. Mineralogical analyses of the synthesized products showed the formation of some zeolite types, as follow: analcime, phillipsite, sodalite, zeolite P and tobermorite. The results show that the mixture fly ash-microsilica in these reaction conditions point to a promising material for zeolite synthesis.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-10) MAUES, Tamiris Cristina de Lima; ROCHA JUNIOR, Carlos Augusto Ferreira da; SOUZA, José Antônio da Silva
Fly ash is the main industrial waste generated by coal in steam and power plans. In Brazil, 1,4 million tons are produced every year. These ashes can be converted into zeolite products by alkaline hydrothermal treatment. The main objective of this paper was to induce this reaction which produces only zeolitic crystalline phases for ammonium ion absorption. So, some syntheses were done by different hydrothermal method (classical or two stages), work time (24 or 30 h) and many NaOH bulks. The characterization of ash (in natura and calcined) and products was performed by X-ray diffraction method, scanning electron microscopy and, in some cases, differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis The product by two stages method was used in ammonium ion absorption in solution at Sips Mathematic Model: the highest capacity of 2,71 mg.g-1.

(2014-08) HILDEBRANDO, Edemarino Araujo; ANDRADE, Christiano Gianesi Bastos; ROCHA JUNIOR, Carlos Augusto Ferreira da; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; DIAZ, Francisco Rolando Valenzuela
The synthesis of zeolite NaP using kaolin waste, from the Amazon region, as a predominant source of silicon and aluminum has been studied. The zeolitisation process occurred in hydrothermal conditions using static autoclaving and the effects of time, temperature, and the Si/Al ratio were investigated. The starting material and the phases formed as reaction products were characterized by XRD, SEM and FTIR. The results showed that pure zeolite NaP is hydrothermally synthesized, at 100 °C for 20 hours, using metakaolin waste material in alkaline medium in presence of additional silica. The XRD and SEM analyses indicate that the synthesized zeolite presents good crystallinity.
