Resumo
Devido a intensificação dos processos industriais, agrícolas e de urbanização, uma grande quantidade de metais antropogênicos tem sido lançados em diversos compartimentos ambientais. O grande desafio das novas tecnologias tem sido o desenvolvimento de materiais e técnicas que sejam baratas, acessíveis, atóxicas e que permitam quantificar ou remover com eficiência os metais potencialmente tóxicos que se encontram dispersos nos recursos hídricos. No presente trabalho, membranas de quitosana (CS) reticuladas com epicloridrina (CS − ECH) e com glutaraldeído (CS − GLA) foram confeccionadas e caracterizadas com F-TIR e MEV-EDS. Soluções multi-elementar com íons metálicos de diferentes concentrações iniciais foram preparadas para determinação do tempo de equilíbrio, da cinética de adsorção e da isoterma. A isoterma de Freundlich e o modelo cinético de pseudo-segunda ordem apresentaram o melhor ajuste. As taxas de adsorção por tempo de contato revelaram a ocorrência da interferência no tempo de equilíbrio ao aumentar a concentração da solução inicial. A membrana CS – ECH apresentou capacidade de sorção para íons Cu(II), Pb(II), AL(III), Zn(II) e Cd(II), respectivamente, de 53, 87 mg g-1; 13,66 mg g-1; 4,41 mg g-1; 2,31 mg g-1 e 1,66 mg g-1. Os valores obtidos por CS – GLA para a mesma sequência de íons foram de 20,25 mg g-1, 3,42 mg g-1, 2,54 mg g-1, 9,23 mg g-1 e 8,77 mg g-1.
Due to the intensification of industrial, agricultural and urbanization processes a large amount of anthropogenic metals have been released in many environmental compartments. The great challenge of new technologies has been the development of materials and techniques that are inexpensive, accessible, non-toxic and that allow to quantify or to remove efficiently the potentially toxic metals that are dispersed in the water resources. In this work, epichlorohydrin (CS - ECH) and glutaraldehyde (CS - GLA) cross - linked chitosan (CS) membranes were prepared and characterized with F - TIR and MEV - EDS. Multi-element solutions with metal ions of different initial concentrations were prepared for the determination of equilibrium time, adsorption kinetics and isotherm. The Freundlich isotherm and the pseudo second order kinetic model presented the best fit. The adsorption rates by contact time revealed the occurrence of interference at equilibrium time as due to the increase of initial solution concentrations. The CS - ECH membrane presented sorption capacity for Cu (II), Pb (II), AL (III), Zn (II) and Cd (II), respectively, 53, 87 mg g - 1; 13.66 mg g-1; 4.41 mg g-1; 2.31 mg g-1 and 1.66 mg g-1. The values obtained by CS - GLA for the same ion sequence were 20.25 mg g -1, 3.42 mg g -1, 2.54 mg g -1, 9.23 mg g -1 and 8, 77 mg g-1.
