Title in Portuguese
Estudo da magnetita como material adsorvedor de íons uranilo
Keywords in Portuguese
adsorção
íons uranilo
magnetita
Abstract in Portuguese
A magnetita, também chamada de ferrita de ferro, é um minério conhecido como imã natural e encontrada em depósitos de ferro. Além desse comportamento intrínseco, a magnetita possui a capacidade de remover os íons metálicos do meio aquoso por fenômenos de adsorção. O seu caráter fortemente magnético a distingue de outros tipos de adsorventes, visto que, é facilmente removida da solução por separação magnética. Neste trabalho estudou-se a adsorção de urânio(VI), na forma de íons UO22+, de solução nítrica pela magnetita sintética. Esta foi preparada por precipitação simultânea adicionando-se uma solução de NaOH à solução contendo os íons Fe2+ e Fe3+. A magnetita sintética, na forma de um pó preto, exibiu uma resposta magnética de atração intensa na presença de um campo magnético, sem contudo tornar-se magnética, um comportamento típico de material superparamagnético constatado por medidas de magnetização. Estudou-se a influência dos parâmetros de adsorção de íons UO22+ tais como o pH, a dose do adsorvente, tempo de contato e a isoterma de equilíbrio. A máxima adsorção de urânio foi encontrada no intervalo de pH entre 4 e 5. Verificou-se que quanto maior a dose de magnetita menor a capacidade de adsorção e maior a remoção de U. Da relação entre adsorção e tempo de contato verificou-se que a remoção aumentou rapidamente com o tempo e atingiu-se a condição de equilíbrio em 30 min. Os resultados da isoterma de equilíbrio apresentaram maior concordância com o modelo de Langmuir, o qual permitiu a determinação da capacidade teórica de saturação da magnetita para o urânio. A interação entre os íons UO22+ e a magnetita foi caracterizada como uma adsorção química e espontânea.

Abstract in English
Magnetite, also known as iron ferrite, is a mineral iron and a natural magnet found in iron deposits. In addition to its magnetic intrinsic behavior, the magnetite has the capacity to remove the metallic ions from aqueous medium by adsorption phenomena. The strong magnetic character of magnetite distinguishes it from other adsorbent types, which it allows to be readily removed from solution by magnetic separation. In this work, uranium (VI) adsorption, as UO22+ ions, from nitric solution by synthetic magnetite was investigated. It was prepared by simultaneous precipitation process, adding a NaOH solution into a solution containing Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions. The synthetic magnetite, a black powder, has exhibited a strong magnetic response in presence of a magnetic field, without nevertheless becomes magnetic. This typical superparamagnetic behavior was confirmed by magnetization measurements. Adsorption parameters of UO22+ ions such as pH. the adsorbent dose, contact time and equilibrium isotherm were evaluated. Maximum uranium adsorption was observed in the pH 4.0-5.0 range. It was noticed that increase in magnetite dose increased the percent removal of uranium, but decreased the adsorption capacity of the magnetite. It was observed from the relation between adsorption and contact time that the removal has increased very fast with time, and achieved the equilibrium within 30 minutes. The results of equilibrium isotherm agreed well with the Langmuir model, and so the theorical saturation capacity of the magnetite was determined for uranyl ions. The interaction between UO22+ ions and the magnetite was defined as a spontaneous chemical adsorption.
