Title in Portuguese
Estudo eletroquímico da interação espontânea entre pirita natural e íons mercúrio II
Keywords in Portuguese
Espécies de mercúrio
Pirita natural
Voltametria
Abstract in Portuguese
A interação espontânea entre pirita e íons mercúrio foi acompanhada por meio de voltametria cíclica. Eletrodos de carbono grafite e parafina sólida recobertos com grãos de pirita foram mergulhados em soluções contendo íons mercúrio, retirados, lavados e introduzidos na solução de trabalho (solução tampão de ácido acético 0,25M e acetato de sódio 0,25M). Eletrodos que previamente estiveram imersos na solução contendo íons Hg(II) apresentaram um potencial de circuito aberto maior que o potencial típico da pirita na mesma solução. Com o elevado número de novos processos eletroquímicos detectados verifica-se a complexidade do sistema pirita/íons Hg(II) e que mais de uma espécie de mercúrio se deposita espontaneamente sobre o mineral. A possibilidade de formação de sulfeto de mercúrio sobre a pirita foi investigada construindo eletrodos com duas espécies de sulfeto (HgS(preto) e HgS(vermelho)). A resposta eletroquímica do HgS(preto) apresenta processos catódicos e anódicos semelhantes aos processos observados no voltamograma da pirita, após sua interação com íons Hg(II). Entretanto, o perfil eletroquímico do HgS(vermelho) não apresenta qualquer semelhança com voltamograma do sistema pirita/íons Hg(II). Realizou-se estudos para verificar a influência de variáveis químicas (concentração e pH) e físicas (tempo, temperatura e transporte de massa). Observou-se que o transporte de massa acelera o processo de adsorção de espécies de mercúrio sobre a pirita e determinou-se a melhor condição experimental de retirada de íons mercúrio.

Electrochemical study of the spontaneous interaction between natural pyrite and mercury ions II

Abstract in English
The spontaneous interaction between pyrite and mercury ions was studied employing cyclic voltammetry. The electrodes, consisting of solid paraffin and graphite covered by pyrite particles, were immersed in solutions containing mercury ions. After mineral/mercury ions interaction, the electrode was washed and introduced in the working solution (acetic acid 0,25M and acetate of sodium 0,25M). Eletrodes which were immersed in the solution containing mercury ions, presented a open circuit potential more positive than that of the pyrite in the same solution. The high number of new electrochemical processes detected denotes the complexity of the system pyrite/mercury ions and indicates that several species of mercury may deposit spontaneously on the mineral surface. The possibility of formation of mercury sulfide on the pyrite was investigated employing electrodes constructed with HgS(Black) and HgS(red). The electrochemical response of HgS(black) presents cathodic and anodic processes similar to that observed in the voltammogram of pyrite, after interaction with mercury ions. The potentiodynamic profile of HgS(red) it does not present any similarity with the voltammogram of the system pyrite/mercury ions. Studies were carried out to verify the influence of chemical (concentration and pH) and physical variables (time, temperature and mass transport). It was observed that the mass transport accelerates the adsorption process of mercury species on the pyrite surface and the optimal experimental condition for scavenging mercury ions was determined.
