Adsorção do corante reativo laranja 16 de soluções aquosas por zeólita sintética

Coal fly ash, a waste generated in a coal-fired electric power plant, was used to synthesize zeolite by hydrothermal treatment with NaOH solution. This zeolite was used as adsorbent to investigate the adsorption kinetics and isotherm parameters of the reactive orange 16 (RO16) dye from aqueous solutions at different concentrations (1.3-15.4 mg L-1). Three kinetic models, the pseudo-first-order, second-order, and intraparticle diffusion were used to predict the adsorption rate constants. The kinetics of adsorption of the RO16 dye followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The adsorption isotherm data were closely fitted to the Langmuir equation. Keywords: coal fly ash; zeolite; reactive dye adsorption.

Adsorção do corante azul de metileno em partículas de argilominerais: análise dos tamanhos das partículas

Interactions of cationic dye methylene blue (MB) with clay particles in aqueous suspension have been extensively studied. As already known, the number of natural negative charges on the clay modifies significantly the particle sizes dispersed in water and therefore the nature of the interaction with the dye. This work evaluated with UV-Vis spectroscopy method how the clay particle sizes weighted on the adsorption and rearrangement of the dye molecules in aqueous system. The results obtained from light-scattering measurements confirmed that larger particles are found in suspensions containing the high-charged clays as the visible absorption band related to the MB aggregates (570 nm) on these suspensions prevailed.

Adsorção do corante vermelho congo por derivados da o-carboximetilquitosana hidrofobicamente modificados

Hydrophobically modified O-carboxymethylchitosan derivatives were synthesized through a reaction with lauroyl chloride and applied for adsorption of congo red dye. The Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm model was found to be the most suitable one for the VC adsorption and maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 281.97 mg g-1 at a pH value of 7.0 for HL 1.0. The adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the corresponding rate constants were obtained. The thermodynamic parameters showed that adsorption process is spontaneous (positive ∆Hº) and favorable (negative ∆Gº). The hydrophobic derivatives are able to adsorb the dye even in high pH values.

The Stage I was great to process, because the system reached the greater dye removal (95%) as well as the kinetic parameters ware the best - K M (0.7 g L-1) and k1 (0.025 h-1).

Descoloração e degradação do azo corante Vermelho GRLX-220 por ozonização

The discoloration and degradation of the textile dye RED GRLX-220 using the electrochemically generated ozone was investigated. Total discoloration was rapidly achieved in both acid and basic conditions. A pseudo-first order kinetics was observed for discoloration, influenced by pH and ozonation time. A considerable degree of mineralization (60%) was obtained after 30 min of ozonation in alkaline medium. The feasibility of organic matter oxidation during the ozonation process increased in both acidic and alkaline media. The toxicity decreased after the ozonation process, suggesting that the byproducts are less toxic than the parental compound.

Fotoeletrodegradação do corante AO7 utilizando filmes de nanocompósitos de ZnO-TiO2

The Zn-TiO2nanocomposite films were prepared by electrodeposition, using an acidic zinc sulphate solution with TiO2 nanoparticles in suspension. The as-deposited samples have been heated in air at 450 ºC for 6 h. The XRD and SEM analyses pointed out to the metal matrix conversion from Zn to ZnO and a rich morphology of needles-shaped grains. These materials were used on the photoelectrochemical degradation of AO7, which was efficiently degraded, with 40% of color removal, after 2 h period at 1.0 V, under white light irradiation. The apparent first order rate constant of the photoelectrodegradation reaction was 4.12 x 10-3 min-1.

Degradação fotoeletroquímica do corante azul QR 19 em solução aquosa

In this work the degradation capacity of a photo-electrocatalytic system was evaluated, mainly regarding the effect of the electrolyte solution on the degradation capacity toward a reactive textile dye. In the presence of NaCl the photo-electrochemical process shows high degradation efficiency, permitting almost total color removal in treatment of about 5 min. In view of the low degradation efficiency observed for the photocatalytic process it is possible to assume that the high degradation efficiency of the process is a function of electrochemical generation of oxidant active chlorine species, which are subsequently transformed to higher oxidant radical forms.

Adsorção do corante Reativo Azul 19 em solução aquosa por lama vermelha tratada quimicamente com peróxido de hidrogênio

Adsorption of Reactive Blue 19 dye onto activated red mud was investigated. Red mud was treated with hydrogen peroxide (LVQ) and heated at both 400 ºC (LVQ400) and 500 ºC (LVQ500). These samples were characterized by pH, specific surface area, point of zero charge and mineralogical composition. Adsorption was found to be significantly dependent on solution pH, with acidic conditions proving to be the most favorable. The adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The Langmuir isotherm was the most appropriate to describe the phenomenon of dye removal using LVQ, LVQ400 and LVQ500, with maximum adsorption capacity of 384.62, 357.14 and 454.54 mg g-1, respectively.

Estudo espectro eletroquímico de sistemas estruturados argila-corante

O comportamento eletroquímico e espectroeletroquímico do sistema montmorilonita-azul de metileno (MM-AM)/AMsolução foi investigado empregando-se a técnica de voltametria cíclica e de transiente, I x t (corrente versus tempo) sobre eletrodo de vidro ITO modificado pela deposição mecânica de filmes do compósito MM-AM. Os filmes foram preparados empregando três procedimentos: 1- na ausência de CTACl (surfactante, cloreto de cetiltrimetilamônio); 2- com incorporação do CTACl à região interlamelar; e 3- na presença do CTACl, porém, não incorporado à região interlamelar. A técnica espectrofotométrica foi empregada para a caracterização e para o estudo eletrocrômico dos filmes formados. Os resultados experimentais permitiram observar que: i- os filmes preparados com a incorporação prévia do AM a região interlamelar fornecem uma resposta eletroquímica mais eficiente com o aparecimento de um par de picos bem definido; ii- a adição do CTACl, de forma geral permite a obtenção de filmes mecanicamente mais estáveis; iii- com a inclusão prévia do CTACl na região interlamelar não ocorre o aparecimento da forma protonada do AM (AMH+); iv- na ausência da forma protonada o compósito não apresenta comportamento eletrocrômico.
