Na ind?stria, o biodiesel (?steres de ?cidos graxos com um ?lcool de cadeia molecular curta) ?, mais comumente, produzido pela transesterifica??o de triacilglicer?is de ?leos vegetais ou gordura animal, com metanol ou etanol, sob cat?lise homog?nea com uma base (KOH ou NaOH). Por representarem alternativas potencialmente mais sustent?veis, dos pontos de vistas econ?micos e ambientais, o presente trabalho foi dedicado a avaliar a efici?ncia qu?mica de catalisadores heterog?neos baseados em materiais de min?rios: (i) de ni?bio, enriquecido em Nb2O5 (Geo.Nb2O5); (ii) de areia monaz?tica (Geo.Mona), uma fonte mineral de terras raras, e (iii) de rejeitos de minera??o de fosfato, ricos em magnetita (Geo.Mag.CMT e Geo.Mag.CMA). Os materiais minerais foram preparados em mistura com componentes ?cidos (H2SO4; HCl ou HF) ou b?sicos (KOH; , KBr, NaOH; CaO; KI; KF ou KCl). As rea??es de transesterifica??o foram conduzidas sob refluxo, com ?leo de soja comercial e metanol, sob a??o dos catalisadores s?lidos. A raz?o molar padr?o ?leo:metanol foi de 1:100, com 10% de catalisador em rela??o ao ?leo, a 60 ?C. Dos testes realizados com os materiais preparados com CaO sint?tico comercial, nas mesmas condi??es, a mistura calcinada a 800 ?C por 4 h rendeu ?steres met?licos sempre acima de 99%; o menor tempo de rea??o (2 h, para completar a transesterifica??o) foi conseguido com o catalisador baseado na Geo.Mona, em rela??o ao Geo.Nb2O5 (5 h), ao Geo.Mag.CMT (3 h) e o Geo.Mag.CMA tamb?m (2 h). Analisou-se o reuso consecutivo do catalisador. Ap?s cada rea??o, o catalisador s?lido era lavado com metanol e seco a 100 oC. O melhor resultado foi obtido com o rejeito magn?tico com CaO calcinados a 200 ?C por 4 h, para o que se conseguiu at? 8 rea??es consecutivas. Nas impregna??es com ?cidos e bases, os melhores resultados foram com a mistura Geo.Nb2O5 e KOH calcinada a 600 ?C, para a qual conseguiu 8 rea??es consecutivas, com rendimento qu?mico em ?steres met?licos de praticamente 100% e tempo reacional de 10 min, no primeiro uso. O efeito catal?tico sin?rgico mais significativo foi conseguido com o catalisador baseado em cada um dos tr?s materiais avaliados em mistura com CaO: nenhum efeito catal?tico significativo na rea??o de transesterifica??o de triacilglcier?is do ?leo foi observado apenas com o material mineral puro calcinado. O CaO puro como catalisador, tamb?m calcinado e usado em rea??o, levou a rendimentos qu?micos pouco acima de 80%. A mistura individual do material mineral com CaO, nas mesmas condi??es de prepara??o anteriores, levaram a rendimentos qu?micos de efetivamente 100%. Os presentes resultados revelam a excepcional potencialidade, dos pontos de vista qu?mico, econ?mico e ambiental, dos catalisadores mistos, dos materiais minerais com CaO, ora avaliados, nos processos de produ??o industrial de biodiesel. / Tese (Doutorado) ? Programa de P?s-gradua??o em Biocombust?veis, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2017. / The diversification of the energy matrix has been drawing special attention to biofuels, especially bioethanol and biodiesel, mainly for economic and environmental reasons and national energy policies. In industry, biodiesel (esters of fatty acids with a short-chain alcohols) is most commonly produced by the transesterification of triacylglycerols in vegetable oils or animal fats with methanol or ethanol using homogeneous catalysis with a base (KOH or NaOH). The present work was devoted to the evaluation of the chemical efficiency of heterogeneous catalysts based on mineral materials: (i) niobium, enriched in Nb2O5 (Geo.Nb2O5); (ii) monazite sand (Geo.Mona), a mineral source of rare earths, and (iii) phosphate mining tailings, rich in magnetite (Geo.Mag.CMT e Geo.Mag.CMA). The mineral materials were prepared in admixture with acidic (H2SO4, HCl or HF) or basic (KOH, KBr, NaOH, CaO, KI, KF or KCl) components. The transesterification reactions were conducted under reflux with commercial soybean oil and methanol in the presence of the solid catalysts. The standard molar ratio of oil:methanol was 1:100, using 10% catalyst relatively to the quantity of oil, at 60 ?C. According to the tests performed with the materials prepared with commercial synthetic CaO under the same conditions, the yield of methyl esters with the mixture calcined at 800 ?C for 4 h was always greater than 99%. The shortest reaction time (2 h to complete the transesterification) was achieved with the Geo.Mona catalyst; the reaction times with Geo.Nb2O5 (5 h), the Geo.Mag.CMT (3 h) and the Geo.Mag.CMA also (2 h) were longer. The consecutive reuse of the catalyst was also verified. After each reaction, the solid catalyst was washed with methanol and dried at 100 ?C. The best result was obtained with the magnetic waste with CaO calcined at 200 ?C for 4 h, with which up to eight consecutive reactions were achieved. On impregnating with acids or bases, the best results are obtained with the Geo.Nb2O5 and KOH mixture calcined at 600 ?C, with which eight consecutive reactions were completed. Virtually 100% yields of methyl esters were obtained in a reaction time of 10 min in the first use. The most significant synergistic catalytic effect was achieved with each of the three minerals mixed with CaO. No significant catalytic effect on the transesterification reaction of triacylglycerols in the oil was observed with the pure calcined minerals. When the calcined CaO is used alone as catalyst, the reaction yielded just over 80%. For the mixture of the individual minerals with CaO under the same preparation conditions described above, the transesterification reaction led to virtually 100% yields. The present results reveal an outstanding potential regarding the chemical, economic and environmental aspects of the mixed catalysts (the mineral material with CaO) for chemical processes leading to the industrial production of biodiesel.

O comp?sito foi preparado atrav?s do m?todo de precipita??o-deposi??o. Em seguida, foi caracterizado por difratometria de raios-X (DRX), espectroscopia de absor??o do infravermelho (IV), espectroscopia de energia dispersiva de raios-X (EDS), an?lise termogravim?trica (TG/DTG), microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV), adsor??o e dessor??o de N2 pelo m?todo B.E.T e investiga??o da distribui??o de carga.

Os estudos de adsor??o, oxida??o e oxida??o fotocatal?tica foram monitorados com rela??o a porcentagem de remo??o da cor do corante azul de metileno (AM) atrav?s da espectroscopia de UV-Vis. Os resultados de DRX evidenciaram diminui??o e alargamento na reflex?o d(001) da argila ap?s modifica??o, o IV indicou a presen?a tanto da argila quanto do oxihidr?xido de ni?bio ao apresentar bandas em 1003 e 800 cm-1 referentes, respectivamente, ao estiramento Si-O e Nb-O.

O NbO2OH n?o apresentou capacidade adsortiva em virtude da forma??o de agregados-H. A porcentagem de remo??o da cor do corante para os testes de oxida??o apresentou pouca diferen?a com rela??o a adsor??o, sendo 18 e 66 % de remo??o da cor do corante para V0 e NbO2OH/V0, respectivamente.

Generally, clays serve as supports for metal oxides by increasing the number of active sites present on the surface and can be applied for various purposes such as adsorption, catalysis and photocatalysis. Some of the materials that are currently highlighted are niobium compounds, in particular, its oxides, by its characteristics such as high acidity, rigidity, water insolubility, oxidative and photocatalytic properties. In this scenario, the study aimed preparing a composite material oxyhydroxide niobium (NbO2OH) / sodium vermiculite clay and evaluate its effectiveness with respect to the natural clay (V0) and NbO2OH. The composite was prepared by precipitation-deposition method and then characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDS), thermal analysis (TG/DTG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 adsorption-desorption and investigation of distribution of load. The application of the material NbO2OH/V0 was divided in two steps: first through oxidation and adsorption methods, and second through photocatalytic activity using solar irradiation. Studies of adsorption, oxidation and photocatalytic oxidation monitored the percentage of color removal from the dye methylene blue (MB) by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The XRD showed a decrease in reflection d (001) clay after modification; the FTIR indicated the presence of both the clay when the oxyhydroxide niobium to present bands in 1003 cm-1 related to Si-O stretching bands and 800 cm-1 to the Nb-O stretching. The presence of niobium was also confirmed by EDS indicated that 17 % by mass amount of the metal. Thermal analysis showed thermal stability of the composite at 217 ?C and micrographs showed that there was a decrease in particle size. The investigation of the surface charge of NbO2OH/V0 found that the material exhibits a heterogeneous surface with average low and high negative charges. Adsorption tests showed that the composite NbO2OH/V0 higher adsorption capacity to remove 56 % of AM, while the material removed from V0 only 13 % showed no NbO2OH and adsorptive capacity due to the formation of H-aggregates. The percent removal of dye color for the oxidation tests showed little difference from the adsorption, being 18 and 66 % removal of dye color for V0 and NbO2OH/V0 respectively. The NbO2OH/V0 material shows excellent photocatalytic activity managing to remove just 95,5 % in 180 minutes of the color of MB compared to 41,4 % and 82,2 % of V0 the NbO2OH, proving the formation of a new composite with distinct properties of its precursors.

As argilas v?m sendo bastante estudadas como suportes catal?ticos em raz?o de sua abund?ncia na crosta terrestre e seu baixo custo. Portanto, neste trabalho as argilas vermiculita e bentonita foram usadas como suporte para o catalisador oxihidr?xido de ni?bio e pelo m?todo de deposi??o-precipita??o foram obtidos comp?sitos formados por esses materiais. Os comp?sitos Nb/argila foram caracterizados e as principais t?cnicas mostraram que ocorreu uma modifica??o em cada argila. Os resultados de difratrometria de raios X (DRX) indicaram que ocorreu uma diminui??o da intensidade da reflex?o e um deslocamento do pico principal de ambas as argilas quando o oxihidr?xido de ni?bio ? adicionado na estrutura.

These effluents are made of organic molecules and are characterized by their color that alter the properties of water which leave it unfit for consumption. For the treatment of these effluents, the use of heterogeneous catalytic processes of low cost can be advantageous. Clays have been widely studied as catalyst supports because of their abundance in the Earth's crust and its low cost. Therefore, in this study the clays vermiculite and bentonite were used as support for the catalyst oxyhydroxide niobium and by the method of deposition-precipitation it was obtained composites formed from these materials. The composite Nb/clay were characterized and the main techniques showed that was changes in each clay. The results X-ray diffractometer (XRD) showed that there was a decrease in reflection intensity and a shift of the main peak of both clays when oxyhydroxide niobium is added to the structure. The spectroscopic analyzes show infrared adsorption bands of in both materials composite Nb/clay which indicates that the composite was actually formed. The scanning electron microscopy images also confirmed that structure modification. Oxidation and photocatalytic oxidation tests were performed with the obtained composite and photocatalytic oxidation test showed the best results, because the vermiculite composite (Nb/V0) showed higher photocatalytic activity by removing 98% of the color orange dye methyl in 90 minutes of reaction while the composite material of bentonite (Nb/B0) removed only 63% over the same reaction time. This activity is due to the composite Nb/V0 have presented a smaller value of band gap (3,08eV) than the composite Nb/B0 (3,33eV).
