| Summary: | In recent years, researches have been developed to obtain new materials and methodologies
aimed at minimizing environmental problems resulting from discharges of industrial effluents
contaminated with heavy metals and oil. The adsorption has been used as an alternative
technology effectively, economically viable and potentially important for the reduction of
these contaminants, particularly when using natural adsorbents such as some types of clays.
The vermiculite and bentonite clay as well as the biopolymer chitosan materials have been
used as low-cost adsorbents. This study aimed to evaluate the potentiality of the hybrid
materials obtained through the use of clay (expanded vermiculite and bentonite), with the
chitosan with the aim of reducing the oil content and the metal ions for use in production
waters generated by petroleum industry. The materials were characterized by diffraction of
X-ray (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis
(TG / DTG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and gas adsorption measurements to
textural analyzes. The XRD and SEM data, showed no significant change in the structures of
clay mineral coated with chitosan in comparison to its shape natural. The results of FTIR
observed that the presence of chitosan on the surface of clay minerals, due to the increased
intensity of the characteristic absorption bands of the organic material. The adsorption tests
conducted initially through a 22 planning showed that chitosan has a higher adsorption
capacity than the natural vermiculite with a maximum of 89.22% on average for
concentrations of 1000 mg/L. The results show that the capacity of removing ions by chitosan
was, on average, 92.84% for copper concentrations in the range of 100 mg/L and 41.87 % at
concentrations around 750 mg/L after 24 hours of contact. From the results it can be
concluded that the incorporation of the polymer provides an improvement in adsorptive
capacity of clay minerals studied an alternative to using low cost materials to reduce
contaminants originating from the production water. |
