RESUMO
This thesis presents the obtainment of silica xerogel by rice husk charcoal and its surface modification using an organic ligand type Schiff-base. The purpose of this agro-industrial residue utilization is the production of an adsorbent capable to remove heavy metals present in contaminated waters. The silica contained in the biomass was obtained by alkaline extraction in sodium silicate with hydrolysis through sol-gel process, and modified with salen, using 1,2-dichloroethane as bi-functional spacer. The modified xerogel silica was evaluated through analysis of nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms (BET/BJH), X-ray diffraction (XRD), chemical elementary analysis (CHN), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG). The elementary analysis pointed that 0,341mmol/g of the 1,2-dichloroethane and 0,095mmol/g of the salen was anchored to the silica surface, that presented thermal stability until 209°C and specific surface area of 106,4 m²/g. An evaluation about the ion cadmium II adsorption capacity of the silica modified and unmodified was performed. The results pointed to the superior cadmium adsorption capacity for the modified silica if low ion concentration solutions.
