Novos materiais à base de caulinita para imobilização de pb2+ presente em solução de bateria

Abstract

Today, several countries adopted rigorous environmental laws for regulating the industrial wastes, mainly because they have high heavy metal contents. Therefore, environmental clean procedures low cost provide a great field of study. The retention capacity of lead ions battery solution through the use of kaolinite modified with metallic oxides (MnO2, Fe(OH)3 and Al(OH)3) at 600, 700 and 900 °C was corried out to validate a waste industrial treatment. Twenty seven adsorbents were synthesized and submitted to Xray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transformation for adsorbent synthesized lattice characterization. Lead ion adsorption tests were assayed by kinetic experiments using the flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) for determination of lead contents through the Lagergren model. Finding showed that only seven adsorbents were efficient for removing lead from battery solution, in which the adsorption rate was 99%. As kaolinite is an abundant mineral this result represents a great tool for the development of a cost-effective environmental clean procedure.
