(2014-08) MENEZES, Raquel Aranha de; PAZ, Simone Patrícia Aranha da; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; NEVES, Roberto de Freitas; PERGHER, Sibele Berenice Castellã
Ultramarine pigments were successful synthesized from zeolite A obtained from kaolin waste. This waste has been used as an excellent source of silicon and aluminum for zeolite synthesis because of its high kaolinite concentrations and low contents of other accessory minerals. The cost is naturally less than the industrialized product. Color additives (Sulfur and Sodium Carbonate) were mixed with different proportions of zeolite A and further calcined for 5 h at 500 °C. They were characterized by XRD and XRF in addition to visual classification by color and shade. These products show colors from blue to green at different shades, both influenced by the amount of additives and cooling rate after calcination. Thus, a different quantity of the same additives in the same zeolitic matrix provides an increase in the color intensity. Cooling rate after calcination induces the color change which is substantially important in the pigments production.

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.

Estabilidade térmica da zeólita A sintetizada a partir de um rejeito de caulim da Amazônia
(2008-09) MAIA, Ana Áurea Barreto; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; NEVES, Roberto de Freitas
Zeolite A was calcined at 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 °C for 2h to evaluate its thermal stability. The zeolite A was synthesized using kaolin waste from kaolin processing industries for paper coating located in the Amazon region. Both zeolite A and further calcined products were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The zeolite A structure remained stable up to 600 °C, where only small variations in peak intensities were observed. At 800 °C the diffraction pattern still exhibited zeolite A but with the absence of some peaks. At 1000 °C nepheline, mullite and probably sodalite were formed. The zeolite A was also heated at 900 and 950 °C to check the two exothermic peaks observed in the DTA curve. The X-ray diffraction analysis indicated the presence of nepheline, sodalite and mullite.

Estudo da influência do tempo de reação e do teor de “Na” na síntese de zeólitas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-04-05) RODRIGUES, Emerson Cardoso; SOUZA, José Antônio da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6157348947425968; MACÊDO, Emanuel Negrão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8718370108324505
This work aims to synthesize zeolite type "A" using as raw kaolin filler. The synthesis of zeolites was performed in a short time and without agitation. The starting materials and the product were identified and characterized by X ray Diffraction (XRD), Fluorescence Spectrometry, X Ray, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Grain Size Analysis and Gravimetric and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA and TG). In the synthesis process was used as the silica source and the alumina metakaolinite, which has been calcined at a temperature of 600 ° C for 2 hours threshold firing in a muffle type furnace. As a source of sodium was used a solution of sodium hydroxide 5 M in the system was also added distilled water. Various syntheses were performed inside an oven at 110 °C. The variation in reaction time and sodium content were the variables in the process. The results of the synthesis of zeolite A proved satisfactory, especially in time of 10 h with a ratio Al / Na = 0.57. The reaction time and amount of sodium are directly proportional to the formation of another phase called zeolitic Hydroxysodalite. From the zeolite A, by ion exchange with a solution of calcium chloride was obtained zeolite 5A without agitation.

Otimização da síntese de pigmentos zeolíticos ultramarinos derivados de rejeito de caulim usando um DOE 2ˆ3 completo.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-07-03) JESUS, Geyna Evellyn Silva de; PAZ, Simone Patrícia Aranha da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5376678084716817; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5880-7638
The state of Pará is recognized as an important center for kaolin production for paper coating, resulting in a significant amount of waste, mainly composed of kaolinite. Research groups at the Federal University of Pará have been exploring the use of this waste as an alternative source of silicon and aluminum in the synthesis of zeolites, particularly zeolite A, which has the potential for producing ultramarine pigments. These inorganic pigments are highly valued due to their deep blue color and good chemical and physical stability. LTA and sodalite zeolites are the main crystalline structures involved in this process, with the S3⁻ anionic radicals responsible for the blue color. The synthesis process involves calcination of the zeolite with sulfur and sodium carbonate, resulting in the diffusion of sodium polysulfides through the zeolite pores and the production of pigments with color variations depending on the synthesis conditions. The aim of the study was to understand how the crystalline structure of zeolites (LTA zeolite and sodalite) affects the pigment color and to propose an optimization for the more efficient synthesis of these pigments. To achieve these objectives, a sequential experimental design methodology (DOE) was applied. A Full Factorial Design followed by a Central Composite Design was used to identify the significant and influential factors in obtaining the ultramarine blue color. For optimization, the response surface methodology was employed in conjunction with the Excel Solver function. The response obtained was color, and the factors were temperature, time, and S/Na2CO4 ratio. The analyses that supported the crystallochemical discussion were: Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetry (TG), particle size distribution (PSD), zero point charge (ZPC), and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and Munsell Color System was used for color classification. The crystallochemical analyses of the pigments obtained from LTA zeolite revealed the insertion of S3⁻ chromophores into the zeolitic structure, which was corroborated by FTIR and DSC-TG analyses, highlighting characteristic peaks of these phases. UV-Vis spectroscopy revealed the presence of both S2⁻ (associated with green hue) and S3⁻ (associated with blue hue) chromophores, with the optimized product showing a higher concentration of S3⁻ chromophore, indicating the effectiveness of the planning. On the other hand, UV-Vis analysis of the pigment derived from sodalite did not show characteristic peaks of the chromophores of interest. Finally, this research assumes significant relevance in the global context of environmental impacts resulting from waste generation, offering a promising alternative for the management of kaolin waste and the production of synthetic ultramarine pigment. The synthesis of this pigment from LTA zeolite represents a more environmentally sustainable approach due to the almost negligible reduction in sulfur oxide emissions, positioning itself as a viable and environmentally conscious solution for obtaining this type of pigment.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-06-27) RODRIGUES, Emerson Cardoso; MACÊDO, Emanuel Negrão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8718370108324505; SOUZA, José Antônio da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6157348947425968
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.

Síntese e caracterização de analcina obtida a partir de rejeito caulim com aplicação em adsorção
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-12-19) CORREA, Edinelson Saldanha; NEVES, Roberto de Freitas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9559386620588673
In this work from kaolin processing industries from Ipixuna-PA were used in order to synthesi analcime derived zeolite as predominant crystalline phase though the hydrothermal process. The sample was converted into metakaolinite by calcinations at 700°C during 4 hours. From sample this metakaolinite a reacting mixture consisting of diatomite and sodium hydroxide was prepared. In order to determine of ideal conditions for analcime synthesis, a number of process variables were measured such as sodium availability, silicon ratio, nature of the silica source, pH of the reacting mixture, and auto clave residence time. Some important properties of the adsorbent where measured as well, such as thermal stability in the presence of acids hydrogen desorption kinetics, the trends of the adsorption isotherms as such as selectivity for copper, cadmium, zinc and nickel ions. Analcime synthesis from kaolin processing wastes was feasible. A displacement in the (h, k, l) planes was observed at 400 °C and was maintained up to 600°C, caused by the withdrawal of oxygen in positions 1/8 in analcime, shrinking the unit cell and in active channels and sites of zeolite, affecting its adsorption capacity.

(2007-09) MAIA, Ana Áurea Barreto; CORREA, Edinelson Saldanha; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; SOUZA, Célio Augusto Gomes de; NEVES, Roberto de Freitas
Zeolite A and Hydroxysodalite were synthesized after kaolin wastes from kaolin processing industries for paper coating, located in the Amazon region. The waste is mainly composed by kaolinite, which has the same SiO2/Al2O3 ratio requested for those two zeolites. Thereby, synthesis process may occur in two steps: 1) the kaolin was submitted to thermal treatment, through calcination process at 700 °C for 2 h, in order to obtain the metakaolinite phase. The metakaolinite obtained reacted with NaOH solution, in hydrothermal conditions, using autoclaves, at the following temperatures: 80, 110 and 150 °C for 24 h. The starting materials were identified and characterized by means of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis and synthesis products were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, Thermal Methods (DTA-DTG) and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). A mixture of Zeolite A and Hydroxysodalite was obtained through this process at 150°C. In the temperature of 110 ºC there was only the Zeolite A formation. Nevertheless, in the lowest synthesis temperature (80°C) there was no crystalline material formation for the established conditions.

(2012-06) SANTANA, Daniela Lira de; SARAIVA, Augusto Cesar Fonseca; NEVES, Roberto de Freitas; SILVA, Denilson Luz da
Raw materials were used to synthesize zeolite A as an alternative and more economical source of silica and aluminum, using waste from the kaolin of the paper industry. Zeolites are crystalline substances with a structure characterized by a framework of linked tetrahedra, each one consisting of four oxygen atoms surrounding a cation. The development of processes for the synthesis of zeolites is of great interest for use in the areas of purification, adsorption and catalysis.The starting materials for the synthesis of zeolite A consisted of wastes from kaolin beneficiation of paper companies of Pará state, Brazil.The zeolite was obtained after calcination at 85 and 110 ºC during 24 h.The chracterization of the starting material was performed by X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, and scanning electron microscopy.The characterization of zeolite A was done by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The kaolin waste used as starting material showed to be essentially kaolinite mineral. For the temperatures and time used in the synthesis it was possible to form the crystalline phase of zeolite A for the two starting materials.
