RESUMO

Textile industry processes have one of the greatest wastewater productions, increasing quantitatively and qualitatively polluting load discharge in surface water. Colored water result of their process generate great environment damages once they not only reduce the water quality but also block sun light from penetrating in the aquatic ecosystem harming biota development. Within existing treatments for wastewater color elimination, adsorption with low cost residual materiais is an efficient and feasible option. Color removal from synthetic wastewater composed by Solophenyl Navy BLE 250% direct dye was studied using adsorption in calcined bentonite clay from Pernambuco. Preliminary tests were carried out in finite bath seeking best clay calcination temperature as well as to evaluate kinetic and equilibrium parameters. Then, tests in a porous bed were carried out using the clay that had greater affinity with the pigment which was the calcinedat 300°C. Color removal kineticswas evaluated using a factorial design 23 with central points. The studied factors were initial concentration, average grain size and uptake flow rate. The response variable evaluated was uptake capacity Qt (mg dye/g clay). Best removal was obtained with higher concentration, lower diameter and lower flow rate, which correspond to greater contact time between solution and the adsorbent reaching 6,28 mg dye/g clay uptake. Tests using activated carbon and clinoptilolite zeolite in the best conditions reached with the factorial plan with bentonite were done to compare removal kinetic of the three adsorbents. These adsorbents were less efficient than bentonite for the removal of the studied dye. Therefore, the results proved efficiency on bentonite s clay adsorption process and the bentonite calcined at 300°C was pointed out as a potential adsorbent for dye removal with cost advantages due to its mineral waste characteristic in gypsum extraction
