RESUMO

In the bentonite industry, the most common procedure for quality control of the ore and the sodium activation process is the swelling method. However, this tool is restricted only to the differentiation of the sodium and non-sodium types, not considering the other cationic varieties. The objective of this study was to establish parameters for cationic differentiation of bentonites based on Near Infrared (NIR) and Medium (MIR) spectroscopy, which proved to be an effective technique in the cationic differentiation of bentonites using the characteristic bands “7072 cm-1” and “3620 and 3430 cm-1” under the condition of the dry-hydrated sample and not under the anhydrous condition. NIRS can be considered a measure of great scientific and technological contribution, as it allows the cationic differentiation of bentonites in a practical way and with low analytical cost.
