Resumo
As fibras de celulose, o amido catiônico, que são polímeros naturais e o carbonato de cálcio um mineral, são utilizados como aditivos na preparação de dispersões para aplicações industriais e desempenham um papel importante quando se trata de estabilidade coloidal da suspensão. A estabilidade coloidal de suspensões de fibra de celulose pura e na presença de amido e carbonato de cálcio precipitado foi investigada através da medida do potencial zeta em função do pH variando-se a força iônica do meio, utilizando a técnica de Atenuação Eletroacústica com o equipamento Acoustosizer IIM da marca Colloidal Dynamics. Tendo como fundamentos a teoria DLVO que trata da estabilidade coloidal em sistemas dispersos, obtiveram-se informações importantes sobre o comportamento deste sistema. Pela avaliação dos resultados de potencial zeta das suspensões de fibra de celulose pode concluir que a adição de carbonato de cálcio precipitado produziu uma inversão de carga da superfície da fibra de celulose, além disso, ao se variar a força iônica do meio a inversão tornou-se ainda mais evidente. Dessa forma pode-se concluir que o carbonato de cálcio produz uma maximização nas forças de natureza repulsiva na fibra de celulose (através de sua dupla camada elétrica) tornando a suspensão mais estável. Resultados semelhantes foram obtidos com adição de amido catiônico à suspensão de fibra de celulose. O amido catiônico (carga superficial positiva) em contato com a superfície da fibra de celulose (carga superficial negativa) altera a carga da fibra para positiva. A avaliação com concentrações a 20, 50 e 100% mostrou que independentemente da concentração o potencial eletrocinético permanece com o mesmo perfil de variação. Ao se misturar à suspensão de fibra de celulose o carbonato de cálcio e amido catiônico concluiu-se que para concentrações...
The fibers of cellulose and the cationic starch, which are natural polymers, and the calcium carbonate mineral are used as additives in the preparation of dispersions for industrial applications. They play an important role when it refers to colloidal suspension stability. The stability of colloidal suspensions of pure cellulose fiber in the presence of starch and precipitated calcium carbonate was investigated through the zeta potential measuring as a function of pH by varying the ionic strength of the medium using the Attenuation Electroacoustic technique in the equipment Acoustosizer IIM from Colloidal Dynamics. Based on the DLVO theory that deals with the colloidal stability of dispersed system, important information of this system behavior was obtained. The evaluation of the results of zeta potential for suspensions of cellulose fiber showed that the addition of precipitated calcium carbonate produces the charge reversal at the cellulose fiber surface. Moreover, this reversal became more evident when the ionic strength of the medium was high. Thus, it can be concluded that the calcium carbonate produces an increase in the repulsive nature strength of cellulose fiber (through its electric double layer), making the suspension more stable. Similar results were obtained with the addition of cationic starch to the cellulose fiber suspension. The cationic starch (positive surface charge) in contact with the cellulose fiber surface (negative surface charge) changes the charge of fiber to positive. The evaluation of concentrations 20, 50 and 100% showed that, regardless the concentration, the electrokinetic potential change profile does not change. By mixing the cellulose fiber suspension with calcium carbonate and cationic starch, it was concluded that the electrokinetic potential is positive for concentrations above 4% of cationic starch in the whole pH range...
