(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-02-27) SANTOS, Lucely Nogueira dos; FERREIRA, Nelson Rosa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3482762086356570; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6821-6199
Cachaça is a typical drink in Brazil and has been reaching more and more the national and international market. The cachaças produced in copper stills present unique characteristics, however they may be more susceptible to suffer contamination by copper (II). Adsorption by biopolymers has shown to be a very promising technique for the removal of metal ions. Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from the deacetylation of chitin and has free amino groups in its structure, which are strongly reactive to metal ions. Considering the aforementioned aspects, this work aimed to perform the deacetylation of chitosan using microwave irradiation technology and to evaluate the capacity of the chitosan obtained in adsorbing copper (II) from cachaça. Chitin was extracted from shrimp exoskeleton, chitosan was deacetylated and its adsorption capacity was evaluated through kinetic study using mathematical models. The copper (II) concentration remaining in the cachaça, in all kinetic experiments was estimated by the spectrophotometry technique in the visible region and confirmed by microwave-induced plasma optical emission spectrometry (MIP OES). Chitosan was characterized by infrared spectroscopy with attenuated reflectance (FTIR-ATR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and molecular mass The results of the characterization showed that the microwave deacetylation process it occurred efficiently, since the chitosan obtained had satisfactory properties in terms of its main characteristics observed, degree of deacetylation (above 85%), molecular weight, morphology and crystallinity. Regarding the adsorption kinetics, the best condition for copper adsorption was 6 mg of chitosan per mL of cachaça, in an equilibrium time of 60 min which resulted in a reduction rate of 84.09% of copper in the drink, according to results obtained by MIP OES. The kinetic analysis indicated the best fit of the data by the Elovich equation, suggesting that the chemisorption mechanism controls the kinetic process. Therefore, chitosan proved to be a good adsorbent for the removal of copper in cachaça and in this respect, a promising target for future technological investments.

In this work, the adsorption of textile basic dyes by clay was studied in aqueous solutions and batch system. Clay was obtained from Icoaraci, metropolitan region of Belém, Pará (Brazil) and was used without treatment (A-BRU) and treated by sedimentation (A-TRA). The basic dyes studies were: Basic Yellow 28, Basic Blue 26 (Blue Victory), Basic Yellow 02 (Auramine), Basic Red 01 (Rhodamine 6G) and Basic Orange 02. The clays were characterized by chemical (CTC and charge density), physical (particle size analysis, SBET and He picnometry), thermal (ATG and DTA), mineralogical and morphological analyses (XRD, SEM/EDS and FTIR). Adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate affinity between dyes and clays (qualitative test), initial concentration and pH effects of the dye solutions. The adsorption kinetics data were analyzed by theoretical models. The adsorption equilibrium data were fitted by Langmuir and Freundlich models. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated from adsorption equilibrium data at different temperatures. The concentration of clay particles in the A-TRA increased 100% after sedimentation. In the clay composition minerals as quartzo, kaolinite and illite /muscovite were identified. The SBET increased from the 22.38 m².g-1 (A-BRU) to 33.02 m².g-1 (A-TRA). Significant differences between the values of density and total pore volume of the clays were not observed. Comparatively, the CTC value of the A-TRA increased 300%. The clay surfaces are predominantly negatives, according to the charge density results (Q). There were no significant differences between the thermal analysis results of the samples. From the adsorption affinity tests the more reactive dyes were the Basic Yellow 2 (BY2) and Basic Blue 26 (BB26) and the adsorbent with improved performance was A-TRA. The adsorption kinetics data were well fitted by pseudo-second order (BY2/A-TRA) and intraparticle diffusion models (A-TRA/BB26). The adsorption equilibrium data were well fitted by Langmuir (BY2/A-TRA) and Freundlich (A-TRA/BB26) models. The parameters of the mathematic models indicated that the adsorption is favorable. The thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption processes investigated are spontaneous and endothermic.

In 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.

The hexavalent chromium removal from solutions of anionic surfactant (LAS) by granular activated carbon (GAC) commercial was studied. At CAG characterization was used ASTM standard method (Sauter mean diameter, dDMS e pH) and method BET (S, specific surface area). Adsorbent surface group and PCZ were determined by the method of Boehm and potentiometric titration, respectively. The adsorbent characterization results: dDMS=2.4 mm, pH=9.0,S=677.4 m²/g; basic groups (70%) compared with the acidic groups and PCZ in the range (4.8 – 8.6). Tests of adsorption of the surfactant LAS were carried out in shaker (140 rpm/24 h./27ºC), 2.0 g CAG/50 mL, the LAS concentration were determined by methylene blue standard method. The removal results versus initial concentration and removal versus time of all LAS concentrations were more than 99%. The adsorption of Cr(VI) (5 – 20 mg/L) were carried out in thermostatic bath (140 rpm/27ºC); 2,0 g CAG/50 mL; 1 and 24 hours of processing; without and with addition of surfactant (70, 140, 210, 280, 350, 533 and 700 mg/L). The initial e residual concentrations of metal were determined by 1,5-diphenylcarbazide colorimetric method. The metal removal without the addition of LAS was not satisfactory values were obtained, around 15%. The metal removal with surfactant reached values, around 70% to the lowest metal concentration (5 mg/L) and between (58-65%) for the other concentrations.

Alumina is one of the most important oxides in the ceramic industry, being used mainly in the form of calcined alumina or fused applied, among other ways, as adsorbent material. In this work is a transition alumina production method from a mixture of gibbsite, from the Bayer process, gel and aluminum hydroxide, from the reaction of aluminum sulfate and ammonium hydroxide targeting the application as an adsorbent material for removing Cu2 + in aqueous solution. Adsorption conditions including contact time and pH were investigated. Assays were carried out at 30 ° C and 50 ° C, in which 1 g of alumina produced was subjected to contact with 100 ml of an aqueous solution containing Cu2 +. The concentrations of the aqueous solutions employed were 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 2000 ppm copper sulphate solution. The characterization of copper sulfate solutions was performed in UV spectrophotometry and characterization of the material produced was carried out by XRD, EDX and BET surface area. Evaluated the contact time to achieve the adsorption equilibrium which is optimized time 15 min. The effect of pH on the adsorption shows that the adsorption temperature increases there is an increased pH compared with the pH of the initial solution of copper sulfate. The isotherms of Langmuir and Freundlich had satisfactory results for adsorption, and the Langmuir isotherm that better fits the adsorption data. Through the equilibrium isotherms it was found that the material produced has adsorption capacity for Cu2 + ion.

In this work we investigated the enrichment of antioxidants buriti oil (Mauritiaflexuosa Mart) adsorption process by supercritical. The adsorption was carried out experimentally by the method of frontal analysis in columns packed with y-alumina and 15, 20 e 25 MPa, 333 K, and flow of solvent QCO2 = 10,6 L/min, using an assembly of double columns of 81 cm3, tested and approved for use as a cell adsorption. The oil was buriti physic-chemically characterized according to the AOCS official methods and found to comply with the data reported in the literature. The composition of methyl esters was determined by gas chromatography (CG) and antioxidant activity by the method of capture of free radicals (DPPH). The adsorbent was characterized by fluorescence and x-ray diffraction, determining the particle size distribution, porosity and surface area by BET in each experiment, a material balance was performed in the adsorption column to calculate the mass of the adsorbed species in y-alumina in the process of supercritical adsorption. The influence of pressure on supercritical adsorption was investigated by examining the behavior of the isotherms. The Langmuir isotherm was used to model the experimental data of adsorption. The experimental results show an increased capacity adsorbent with higher pressures, showing a maximum of 90,9 ± 8,6 mg oil/g y-alumina, at 25 MPa. The adsorption supercritical buriti oil on γ-alumina using carbon dioxide as solvent appears to be an alternative method for extracting antioxidants from the includ carotenes.

Unexpected failures in transformers led to the identification of copper sulphide formation, deposited on the conductors. The qualitative presence evaluation of corrosive sulfur in insulating mineral oil, led to a change in the Brazilian standards ABNT NBR 10505, which assesses the presence of corrosive sulfur in mineral oil, change in the time and test temperature to 150 °C / 48 hours. Performing the chemical speciation of organosulfur compounds (by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry), were found 13 compounds in the Nynas oil and 9 compounds in the Petrobras oil. DBDS, which was found only in the Nynas oil, and it was the compound with the highest concentration. To perform the determination of the presence of DBDS in insulating mineral oil, a method by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry was developed, and it was possible to quantify the amount of DBDS in insulating mineral oil samples derived from the power transformer. The passivation process by tolutriazol and benzotriazol, used as anticorrosive additives in the core of electrical equipament, was evaluated; after a while the effect of the addition of passivating agent becomes ineffective with time. The solution for the remotionl of DBDS from mineral oil was realized by using carbon nanotube reinforced by metallic matrix as agent to remove the DBDS. It was found that the adsorption agent was able to realize the complete DBDS remotion from insulating mineral oil up to a volume of 4000 mL (oil contaminated with DBD).

Clays have a high technical-economic viability for diverse industrial applications. In certain regions of State of Pará, clays are abundant and their extraction occurs intensively, usually used in manufactures of ceramic artifacts. The use of modified clays as adsorbents in the remediation of contaminated water has been the subject of several studies. In this work, a kaolinite characterization and its application as adsorbent in the form "in natura" heat treated in the adsorption of BTX and after modification of its surface by catônico surfactant (HDTMA-Br) was studied, as adsorbent of hexavalent chromium oxyanions. In the study of adsorption of chromium (VI) a factorial design (DCCR) was used, applying variables such as pH and concentrations of surfactant. The clay from Icoaraci District (PA) was classified by sieving, as (NBR 7181). Fractions "in natura" (FR-NAT) and modified (FR-ORG) and (FR-TR), with particles smaller than 44 m and the modified materials were submitted to analysis: x- ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray fluorescence, ATG/DTA, electron microscopy (SEM), determination of surface area (SBET), mercury porosimetry, CTC and pH (pcz). The composition of the clay material were identified: quartz, kaolinite and illite/muscovite (I/M); SiO2 (59.6%) and Al2O3 (17.5%). The property values of: 21.8 SBET m2/g; pore size distribution in the mesopore and macropore region; CTC 17 (meq/100 g) and pHPCZ value equal to 4.3. The analyzes of ATG/DTA samples of organoclays showed that there was loading the clay surface by surfactant (HDTMA-Br). Samples thermally modified natural clay and showed no affinity for organic compounds (BTX). In the study of the adsorption of hexavalent chromium, a factorial design (CCRD) based on pH and concentration of surfactant was used. The adsorption of hexavalent chromium by natural clay was not satisfactory, but the chemically modified clay reached satisfactory values. From the statistical analysis of the adsorption data, only the concentration of cationic surfactant produced statistically significant effects in removing the adsorbate.

This work aims to investigate the influence of temperature on the textural, morphological and crystalline characterization of bioabsorbents produced by hydrothermal processing of corn husk residues with hot compressed H2O. The experiments were carried out at 175, 200, 225 and 250 ºC, 240 minutes, heating rate of 2.0 ºC/min and biomass/H2O ratio of 1:10, using a pilot scale reactor of 18,927 L. The process is analyzed in terms of yields of reaction products as a function of temperature. The results showed yields of solids ranging from 62.92 to 35.82% (weight), gas yields ranging from 1.49 to 9.59% (weight) and liquid products ranging from 35.43 to 54.59% ( Weight). The yield of the solid phase decreases with temperature, presenting an inflection region between 200 and 225 °C, in which a drastic change occurs, while that of the liquid phase increases, presenting the same inflection region between 200 and 225 °C. The gas phase yield increases exponentially with temperature up to approximately 10% (weight) in the investigated temperature range. Elemental analysis of solid products shows that the carbon content increases, while the oxygen and hydrogen content decreases with temperature. The textural, morphological and crystalline characterization of solid phase products analyzed by TG/TDG, SEM/EDX, XRD and BET. The solid phase product (bio-adsorbent) obtained by hydrothermal processing of corn husk residues at 225 and 250 °C, 240 minutes, and biomass/H2O ratio of 1:10, were chemically activated with 2.0 NaOH solutions.

This paper studied the adsorption of residual free fatty acids (carboxylic acids) present in distilled fractions from the Liquid Organic Product (PLO) obtained by thermal catalytic cracking of vegetable oil. The objective was to deacidification of distilled fractions obtained from the distillation of the PLO. The experiments were performed using different distilled fractions using three different adsorbents, y-Alumina, Red Mud Thermally activated (400 °C) and Red mud chemically activated with solutions of HCl in different concentrations (0.25, 1 and 2M). The adsorbent capacity relative to adsorption of free fatty acids was evaluated by means of kinetic studies, measuring the change in concentration of free fatty acids present before and after adsorption by determining the Acid Number. The results indicated that increasing the initial concentration of acids decreases the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, showing that the process is less effective at higher concentrations. For experiments with different percentages of adsorbents seen that when using 0.5% adsorbent to obtain greater efficiency in the removal of fatty acids, which decreases with increasing percentage of adsorbent. The most efficient adsorbent was red mud activated with 1M HCl, which was obtained a reduction of 98% of the fatty acids to a sample with an initial acid number of 4 mg KOH/g. Mathematical modeling indicated that the kinetic model that best represents the process was the Pseudo Second- Order. Therefore, the results show that the adsorbents used are mostly effective in the removal of free fatty acids and the initial concentration of acids in the sample has a direct effect on the performance of adsorption thereof.

Around the world millions of tons of inorganic waste are produced every day in mining and mineral processing. These wastes are stored in sedimentation basins or discarded in landfills, and very often are thrown directly into the environment without any treatment process. However, alternative recycling and/or reuse should be investigated and, where possible. This work shows studies in order to reuse the kaolin waste from Amazon, from a kaolin processing company for paper covering. For the synthesis of the zeolite in static and dynamic hydrothermal processes, was used as the silicon source and the aluminum kaolin waste, which passed through the calcination procedure in a muffle at 600°C to obtain metakaolin; and as sodium source chose to 5M sodium hydroxide solution. In the static method was used stainless steel autoclaves, in an oven at 110°C, using 1,75g of metakaolin, varying the time of synthesis and the mass of sodium hydroxide and the dynamic process, we used 100g of metakaolin, mass 34,5g sodium hydroxide; at 95°C under stirring system, varying the time of synthesis, in order to determine the optimal conditions in the synthesis of the zeolite in the process. Matches materials and zeolitic products obtained in the syntheses were characterized by: X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric (DTA/TG), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and particle size analysis. There is the possibility of scale-up, since the zeolite obtained, the dynamic process in time of 30 min. Data from adsorption experiments determined by iodometric technique copper alloys and metal and minerals, adjusted by Langmuir and Freundlich suggest that the static and dynamic zeolitic materials have good adsorptive capacity reached 95% efficiency for concentrations in the range of 50 to 100mg/L, thereby demonstrating that these materials are efficient and cost effective alternative when used for the removal of heavy metals, in the case of copper, the treatment of industrial effluents.

In this work, the variables of the batch adsorption process of palm (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq.) and andiroba (Carapa guianensis, Aubl.) vegetables oils on thermally activated alumina at 723,15 K and 923,15 K (y-alumina) has been investigated by analyzing the influence of temperature, time, mass of vegetable oil, mass of adsorbent on the adsorbent capacity. A kinetic model of second-order was proposed to modeling the adsorption capacity of free fatty acids (FFA). Capacity results of FFA of the crude palm oil on y-alumina AG.450 at 328.15 K and of the crude andiroba oil on y-alumina AG.650 at 323.15 K were obtained from the consecutive adsorption experiments and adjusted by isotherms of Langmuir e BET. The transfer mass model of TAN & LIOU (1989) was used to modeling the kinetic desorption of the palm oil from y-alumina AG.650 and of the andiroba oil on y-alumina AG.450 with supercritical carbon dioxide, evaluating the yields, errors, correlation coefficients and the residues of the desorbed oil mass versus predicted by the model.The study of the variables influence, over the adsorption capacity, presented negative correlation (with exponential behavior) to the variable mass of oil. The adsorbent mass influence, presented a positive correlation (with a linear behavior) and the temperature increase is favorable to the adsorption process. The total reduction of the FFA after three consecutive adsorptions of the crude palm oil on y-alumina AG.450 and after four consecutive adsorptions on -alumina AG.650 with andiroba oil, were 21.07 % and 40.29 %, respectively. The modeling of the FFA capacity to the palm oil with Langmuir model, presented a high experimental data prediction ability (R² = 0.9610), as well as to the andiroba oil with the BET model, which presented a high adjustment (R² = 0.9140). Tan & Liou model evidenced high prediction capacity of the desorption oil mass from γ-alumina for all experiments, minimum correlation coefficient of 0.9230 and magnitude residues of 10-1 grams. The yields, based on adsorbate initial mass, of the palm oil desorbed from y-alumina AG.650 at 20 MPa up to 30 MPa and 323.15 K up to 328.15 K were 28.880 % up to 34.563 %, while to the andiroba oil on y-alumina AG.450 at 15 MPa up to 25 MPa at 323.15 K were 14.108 % up to 27.972 %. The yields results shows that the increase of pressure and temperature are favorable to the supercritical desorption.

The treatment of industrial effluents is extremely important for both the environment and human health. The purification of water from polluting components, such as metals and organic compounds, for reuse in the industrial process can be considered one of the main applications in this field. Therefore, there is interest in modeling one of the most used treatment processes, adsorption. Aiming to describe the dynamics of the process in an adsorption column, in this work the method of lines and the pdepe function (matlab) are used to solve the model formed by the mass balance in the liquid phase, linear driving force equation (LDF) and the Langmuir isotherm for equilibrium. An evaluation of the model varying some experiment conditions was carried out, from which results congruent with those found in the literature were observed. In addition, a sensitivity analysis of the phenomenon was carried out in relation to the parameters: Langmuir constant, intraparticle mass transfer coefficient and axial dispersion coefficient. Subsequently, these parameters were estimated using the Monte Carlo technique via Markov chain (MCMC) using experimental data found in the literature. Finally, in general, the estimates were good enough to represent the adsorption dynamics of the evaluated experiments.

In this work they were studied the characteristics of surface of CAG commercial in natura (CA-1) and treated for (HNO3) (CA-2) and their applications in the adsorption of benzene and tolueno. Characterization of the adsorventes: specific superficial area - SBET and distribution of pores (adsorption of N2/77 K), pH (norm ASTM D3838-05), functional groups of surface (FTIR and method of Boehm). Adsorption tests were performed in batch system and fixed bed column (25 ° C/140 rpm/25 minutes), where the samples were quantified by gas chromatography with headspace extraction by EPA method 0010. The SBET and the average volume of the pores of the adsorbent CA-2 decreased with relation to the values of CA1 as well as the pH. There was an increase of acidic functional groups determined by the method Boehm of the adsorbent CA-2 in relation to CA-1, which was confirmed by determining FTIR, in which the intensity of the absorption bands were more intense for CA-2. Test data were fitted satisfactorily by kinetic mathematical model of pseudo-second order, based on statistical tests applied, with statistically significant differences between the treated adsorbent (CA-2) and in natura (CA-1). Assays were performed equilibrium adsorption, and the results correlated by the Langmuir isotherm, with satisfactory response for that model. From the adsorption system in a fixed bed column and considering the highest volumetric flow (Q = 100 mL / min) used in this system yielded the most important results of adsorption of benzene and toluene using (CA-2) as adsorbent.

In 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.

Buriti core carbon (CCB) was produced from the reject of artisanal production of its fruit for the extraction of oil, heated to 400ºC. Then, the CCB was activated at temperatures of 800ºC and 900ºC. Adsorption tests were performed to evaluate the discharge of these activation temperatures in the adsorption of a solution of copper (II) to a known initial concentration of 50 mg/L. After having examined the results, it was decided by the activation of coal to 900ºC. The activated carbon of the buriti core (CACB) to 900ºC was characterized according to commercial properties such as specific area, porosimetry, apparent and real densities, porosity of a bed fix, scanning electron microscopy, ash content, pH, moisture, fixed carbon and acid surface functional groups present in the CACB. The results showed a higher removal efficiency of copper (II) to the diameter D < 0.595 mm, for the contact time of 300 minutes, for the pH of 4.01 and the initial concentrations of copper (II) 50 and 80 mg/L. Mathematical models of Langmuir and Freundlich were applied to the data of adsorption equilibrium. The mathematical model of Langmuir was the best fit to the data of balance. The Langmuir’s mathematical model was the best fit to the data of balance. According to data from the kinetic equilibrium, it was observed that from the contact time of 15 minutes all the equilibrium concentrations were below the allowed maximum of 1,0 mg/L under the law CONAMA nº 357/2005 for release effluent into aqueous environments. The experimental results obtained are indicative that it is possible to remove copper (II) from industrial effluent using CACB activated physically at 900ºC for a period of 60 minutes.

Activated carbon was produced from the Brazil nut bark (Bertholletia excelsa l.) to be used in the cooper (II) removing, in adsorption process in bath system. The bark is a waste material from the chestnut improvement which was collected, selected, washed in running water and then it was dried up in stove at 150 °C in 24 h. The carbons were charred at 400 °C for 3h and thermally activated at 800 °C in 1, 2 and 3 hours time when they received its encodings CA1, CA2 and CA3 respectively. Then they were characterized as: the specific superficial area, volume and pores size, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled to EDS (energy dispersive X-ray system) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy FTIR). Preliminary tests were performed to assess the carbon efficiency as cooper (II) removing in synthetic solution of 50 mg L-1 initial concentration. As the results were satisfactory to CA1, CA2 and CA3 (93,43, 97,23 and 96,92 % to those carbons), decided by what had higher removing percentage of. The CA2 was produced and characterized as: the real and apparent densities, porosity in fixed bed, pH, moisture (wet basis), ashes, fixed carbon and functional groups by Boehm method. There were preformed tests to determine the cooper (II) efficiency removing concerning the carbon particle diameter influence, pH of the solution, contact time influence and variation of the initial concentration. The results of higher removing percentage were to diameter 0,595≤D≤1,19 mm, pH 5,09, in time of 5 min and concentrations of 50, 100 e 150 mg L-1. The adsorption kinetic study that best fit according to data was pseudo-second order model. The experimental data that presented good fit according to mathematical models of Langmuir and Frendlich isotherm. In this sense, was obtained activated carbon at a low cost from the Brazil nut bark which one showed a good efficiency in cooper (II) removing process and also allowing the using in the effluents treatment.

This work aims to synthesize a zeolite product composed of zeolite type "A" plus sodalite using as filler kaolin starting material. The synthesis of Zeolites was carried out in a short time and in a system with agitation, in a reactor of stainless steel with a volume of approximately 0.001 m3, that is, in semi-pilot scale. The system was heated by steam from a boiler. The X ray diffraction (XRD), X ray Fluorescence Spectrometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Granulometric Analysis and Differential and Gravimetric Thermal Analysis (DTA and TG) were identified and characterized. In the synthesis process the metakaolin was used as the source of silica and alumina, which was obtained at 600 ° C for 2 hours of calcination in a muffle furnace. A 5M sodium hydroxide solution was used as the sodium source. Several syntheses were carried out for a maximum duration of 180 minutes. Every 30 minutes aliquots of the product were taken for the study of reaction kinetics. The results of the zeolite syntheses were satisfactory and the product obtained was applied to the adsorption of Cu2+ ions, in which the influence of the variables: time, temperature, pH and adsorbent quantity were evaluated. The determination of the best adsorption model was performed by the Monte Carlo method via Markov Chain and through the Akaike Information Criterion the isotherms that were closest to the presented results were established. The results obtained were compared with other studies available in the literature and showed significant values, which characterize the process of zeolite production and adsorption as promising and efficient.

The formation of solid waste has become a great challenge for the environment preservation due to the lifestyle adopted by modern society, which seeks for practicality and immediacy, and by that, new products are released, and waste formation is increased. The decomposition of waste from various sources creates a dark liquid denominated “slurry”, which presents high concentration of organic and inorganic compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the concentrations of Cd, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn on the ground and percolated liquid produced at the solid waste decomposition site in the metropolitan region of Belém/Pará/Brazil. Fly ashes of mineral coal were used to produce a low-cost zeolitic material, for removing copper, zinc, cadmium, and chrome, which are present at the percolated liquid of the Aurá landfill. The zeolites synthesized by alkaline fusion (ZSH and ZSJ), and without alkaline fusion (ZSD, ZSG, ZSK, ZSO), were characterized by different techniques, such as X-ray fluorescenc espectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The treatment adsorption efficiency of using adsorbent zeolitic material demonstrated viability to be used as an adsorvent agent for the adsorption of metals present at the leachate produced by landfills.

Kaolin waste from kaolin industry sedimentation ponds for paper and sterile kaolin or flint belonging to the same mine, in the Capim region, in northeastern Pará, were used in the synthesis of the SAPO-34 molecular sieve. The precursor materials and those produced were characterized by: DRX, FRX, TG-DSC-DTG, FTIR, ASEBET and MEV. First, the use of R-metakaolin as a precursor was evaluated, varying the SiO2 / Al2O3 ratio in the formulation of the SAPO-34 molecular sieve. The adjustment in the value of this molar ratio showed a positive effect on the formation of the desired zeolite, which showed formation of the CHA structure, in less time and with good thermal stability. In relation to the use of F-metakaolin, the effect of the amount of SDA and crystallization time (nucleation and crystal growth) on the formation of the CHA structure was evaluated and, later, that zeolitic product formed with less amount of SDA was used for a detail evaluation, in which the influence of Fe and Ti ions type impurities was studied. The results revealed a positive effect of the greater amount of SDA in the formation of SAPO-34 (CHA), but in a shorter time and, consequently, contribution in the Si distribution in the structure. When comparing the zeolitic products derived from F-metakaolin and a high purity kaolinitic pattern, the zeolitic product obtained from the kaolinitic sterile showed thermal resistance where the calcined product's DRX pattern maintained the CHA diffractometric profile, but with reduced crystallinity. It was also observed that before calcination, the zeolitic product obtained with F-metakaolin showed a smaller displacement to a 2θ (º) angle, indicating an increase in the interplanar distance with reference to the d101 plane, possibly due to interferences of the present impurities (Fe and ions). Ti), however after the calcination for decomposition of the SDA this displacement was not evidenced, thus indicating interference of the SDA used. That product considered the best, based on crystallochemical parameters, was used in the performance evaluation in methylene blue adsorption, which showed good adsorption capacity. In the evaluation of the adsorption kinetics, the pseudo-second order model (R2 = 0.998) was the one that best fit the experimental data. The optimization of the synthesis using tailings through the planning of Box-Behnken experiment and response surface methodology. It was concluded that the use of Amazon waste and/or flint kaolin is viable for the production of SAPO-34 zeolite (CHA).
