Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/6354In the study of the Sodalite synthesis used two wastes kaolins from two kaolin processing industries for paper coating, located in the Amazon region, operating in the region of Rio Capim (CRC) and Rio Jari (CRJ). Besides this, was also used as a source of silica and alumina to metakaolin, obtained by calcination of kaolin (MRC and MRJ, respectively). Preliminary chemical and mineralogical characterization of kaolin was performed to obtain information of its characteristics. The Sodalite synthesis was performed varying some parameters, such as starting material: kaolinite was used directly as starting material at temperatures of 80, 100, 120 and 150 °C, and, starting with metakaolinite at 95 °C. In order to observe the influence of ions OH, Cl- and CO32-, as well as Na2O/Al2O3 ratio, the syntheses were carried out varying the basic solutions, set temperature at 95 °C for the starting material MRC. Furthermore, the Na2O/Al2O3 ratio were maintained constant and temperature were varied in the reaction mixture to determine the ideal conditions for Sodalite synthesis. The starting materials and the synthesis products were identified and characterized by using XRay Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis, Thermal Methods (DTA/DTG) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR). The method of synthesis that show best results were used as starting material metakaolin, with NaOH + Na2CO3 solution having Na2O/Al2O3 ratio of 3.89 conducted under stirring at 95 °C, atmospheric pressure and a time of 4 hours, for the two types of kaolin (CRC and CRJ). Using the MRC metakaolin, kaolin from the Rio Capim, under the above conditions was obtained by conversion of 86.5% by weight of sodalite and MRJ metakaolin, kaolin of the Rio Jari, the conversion was 73.6% in sodalite. All products were characterized as mesoporous materials, but starting from the product of metakaolin Rio Jari showed higher specific area.porAcesso AbertoSodalitaSínteseCaulim - AmazôniaDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::GEOCIENCIAS::GEOLOGIA::MINERALOGIA
