Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Aproveitamento do rejeito de caulim na produção de alumina para cerâmica e sílica de baixa granulometria(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2000-11-29) FLORES, Silvia Maria Pereira; NEVES, Roberto de Freitas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9559386620588673The Amazon region detains 10% of the world reserves of kaolim. Since the seventy's, two great amazonic beds of kaolim are explored, producing kaolim for paper cover. In the beneficiation process, it's generated an elevated volume of polluted industrial residue which is deposited in extensivas and onerous lagoons of sedimentation. Because of the residue is very voluminous, these lagoons become an environmental problem of great proportions, due the extensivas deforested areas used for their constructions ( Barata, 1998). In this work, are suggested altematives of economic utilization of this residue, which is constituted, mainly, by a suspension of the claymineral kaolinite, for the production of pozolane, aluminium sulphate, the synthesis of the ammonium alum and alumina for ceramics utilization. The methodology constitutes in the drying and the calcination of the residue, followed by the extraction of the AI retained by the acid lixiviation H2SO4 ) followed by the ammonium alum crystallisation, for the reaction with the concentrated NH4OH, by means of pH control, and later calcination at 1200°C, getting a-Al2O3, with no sodium and Iow granulometry. From the aluminas obtained, are made bodies of proof smashed and sintered at 1600°C, to the determination of the ceramics properties, which are compared to one of the commercial alumina. After the acid lixiviation for the AI extraction, results as an insoluble material, an amorphous silica, for which it is suggested, as an additional contribution, an economic application, using it as artificial pozolane in building portland cement, making mechanics tests for the evaluation of its performance. The material that were used and synthesized were characterized throught the use of the X ray diffraction, eletronic scanning microscopy, the infra-red spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, differential thermic analisys, particle size analysis, specific area BET, porosity, chemical analisys throught umid means and throught X ray fluorescence.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Os fragmentos de cerâmica arqueológica como fonte potencial de fertilidade dos solos TPA(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-09-26) RODRIGUES, Suyanne Flavia Santos; KERN, Dirse Clara; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8351785832221386; COSTA, Marcondes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1639498384851302Soils of the Amazon Dark Earth (ADE) type are known for their high fertility, which contrasts with the typically poor soils found throughout most of the Amazon. The fertility of these soils appears to persist even after their intensive use for agriculture. The ADE are usually rich in sherds, important evidence linking them to the occupation of the region by prehistoric populations. Many studies have focused on the stylistic characteristics of the vessels represented by these sherds, although less attention has been paid to the chemical and mineralogical features of this material, which are important for the identification of the raw material use to produce the artifacts, provenience, technology, and in particular the origin of their relatively high P content. These high levels of P are derived from aluminum phosphates, which are generally amorphous to variscite-strengite, and have been linked to the use of the pots for the preparation of food. While the possible role of the sherds in the maintenance of the fertility of ADE has been widely discussed, no experimental data have been presented to confirm this connection. This study presents systematic evidence that the sherds contribute to the fertility of the soils. For this, sherds were obtained from three archeological sites with distinct characteristics located in different parts of the Amazon: Monte Dourado 1 (Almeirim, Pará), Jabuti (Bragança, Pará), and Da Mata (São José de Ribamar, Maranhão). Initially, 325 sherds were first described mesoscopically and then their chemical and mineralogical composition was determined by XRD, optical microscopy, TGA/DTA, FT-IR, SEM-EDS, ICP-MS and ICP-OES. Different parameters of fertility were then measured, followed by gaseous adsorption tests, and finally, P desorption assays. These data were used to identify the raw materials used in the fabrication of the vessels, details of the productive process, modifications occurring during the use of the utensils and after being discarded, with the aim of evaluating the potential contribution of these sherds to the fertility of the ADE soils. The hypothesis of contamination by nutrients from foods during the use of the vessels for the preparation of meals was confirmed by a laboratory experiment simulating cooking conditions using ceramic pots similar to the archeological artifacts, and measuring the incorporation of Ca and P during the cooking process. The results indicate that the ancient ceramicist peoples used raw materials available in the area surrounding their habitation sites. The composition of the sherds, all of which are made from a matrix of metakaolinite and quartz, and occasionally muscovite, indicating raw materials rich in kaolinite and quartz, which are fundamental to the production of ceramic artifacts. The presence of metakaolinite indicates that the pots were fired at approximately 550°C. However, the addition of different types of antiplastic contributed to chemical and mineralogical variation among sites in the overall composition of the sherds. At Da Mata, only cariapé was used, while at Monte Dourado 1, the cariapé was mixed with crushed rocks with a complex mineralogical content, and at Jabuti, shells were used in addition to cariapé. Amorphous phosphates are common to all the sites, albeit at distinct levels, with crystalline aluminum phosphates of the crandallite-goyazite type being found only at Jabuti, and Fe-Mg-Ca phosphates, segelerite, being exclusive to Monte Dourado 1. The amorphous phosphates and crandallite-goyazite were considered to be indicators of the use of the original pots (from which the sherds were derived) for the preparation of food, whereas the segelerite was interpreted as a neoformation following exposure of the fragments to the hydromorphic conditions that persist to the present day. The lowest phosphorus concentrations-1.04% of P2O5 on average- were recorded at Da Mata, and were similar to the majority of sherds studied up until now, whereas the highest concentrations (a mean of 7.75%) were recorded at Jabuti, the highest values yet reported. At Monte Dourado 1, the mean concentration was 2.23%. It seems likely that the high levels of P, Ca, and Sr are related to a diet rich in shellfish, as reflected in the diversity of shells fragments found in the sherds. The high levels of calcium recorded at Monte Dourado 1 reflect the presence of labradorite in the temper. The potential fertility of the sherds is clearly greater than that of the ADE soil when analyzed without the ceramics. It thus seems reasonable to assume that the sherds are the source of the macro- and micronutrients found in the soil. This was confirmed through desorption assays, which showed that P was desorbed at a slow rate, a characteristic which may be especially important for the persistence of fertility. This process is best described by the Freundlich model, which indicates the occurrence of interactions among the adsorbed ions. The experiment that simulated cooking conditions indicated that the Ca and P may be adsorbed into both the sides and lids of the ceramic pots, albeit with higher concentrations being accumulated in the sides. While calcium was adsorbed, no phase of this element was identified, either amorphous or crystalline, probably because the duration of the experiment was too short. By contrast, the chemical adsorption of the P did occur, and after 600 h of cooking, variscite, an aluminum phosphate, formed in the sides of the pots. Aluminum phosphates may thus form in the ceramic vessels during the cooking of food. These results indicate that the presence of aluminum phosphates in the matrix of the ceramic vessels represents a reliable indicator of their use as cooking vessels, and that the sherds of these utensils in the soil constitute a potentially important source of fertility.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Transformações térmicas e propriedades cerâmicas de resíduos de caulins das regiões do rio Capim e do rio Jari – Brasil(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-03-23) MARTELI, Marlice Cruz; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7501959623721607; NEVES, Roberto de Freitas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9559386620588673Mullite, Al6Si2O13, is a relatively rare mineral in nature, formed under exceptional conditions of high temperature and pressure, which can be used to synthesize this mineral. Mullite presents excellent mechanical resistance at high and normal temperatures; low thermal expansion coefficient; good chemical and thermal stability. Such characteristics explain the importance of mullite in traditional and advanced ceramics. This research proposes the development of a process to synthesize mullite using the wastes from kaolin processing industries located in the rio Jari (Monte Dourado-PA) and rio Capim (Ipixuna-PA) districts. Preliminary studies are made on the synthesized materials for application as base materials for grog and silicon-aluminum refractory bricks. The steps are: (a) mineralogical and chemical characterization, verifying the differences between the materials; (b) processing through calcinations of the wastes at increasing levels of temperature with 100 oC increments, ranging from 600 to 1500 oC, during 3 hours at each level, so mineralogical changes can be observed and; (c) the study of temperature and impurities effects through X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, green bodies cleavage, thin layer and polished section; and of ceramics properties, through green bodies retraction (shrinking). The results of this work indicate that detrites from kaolin industries at rio Jari and rio Capim are constituted mainly by kaolinite. The PR samples showed a higher level of structural order than the CR samples. The increase in calcination temperature favored agglomeration in both samples. A higher content of Fe in the CR samples influenced mullite formation, activation energy, and linear shrinking in sintering. Also, through to the results of the refractarity essays, both industrial waste samples showed that they can be used as starting materials for refractories and grog.
