Ácidos silícicos como a magadeíta, a kaneíta e a ilerita são compostos extremamente versáteis, podendo-se variar os seus espaçamentos basais a partir de intercalações com grupos de cadeia carbônica longa ou troca iônica. Outras alterações possíveis são as substituições isomórficas do silício por átomos tri- ou tetravalentes como alumínio e titânio respectivamente, modificando as propriedades químicas da lamela. Neste trabalho os ácidos silícicos lamelares magadeíta, ilerita e kaneíta foram sintetizados pelo método hidrotérmico, contendo também átomos de Al e Ti inseridos na estrutura. Em todos os casos observou-se que conforme aumenta-se a quantidade de metal adicionado ou o tempo de tratamento hidrotérmico, ocorrem transições de fase que seguem a ordem: amorfa, fase lamelar de interesse, cristobalita e tridimita, bem como suas misturas em situações intermediárias. Diferentes métodos de pilarização com TiO2 foram exaustivamente testados, variando-se uma série de parâmetros. O método que se mostrou mais eficiente consistiu na utilização de CTAB e TBAOH como agentes espaçadores sob refluxo a 353 K, seguido de adição direta do alcoxido no material intercalado seco, então refluxados a 363 K sob fluxo de nitrogênio. Os materiais obtidos por este método possuem mesoporos com 4,8 nm de diâmetro em media, porem a área superficial obtida foi de apenas cerca de 270 m g. Nos materiais pilarizados foram imobilizados os fotocatalisadores pirílio (TPP) e tiapirílio (TPTP) de modo a provar a eficiência na degradação fotocatalítica do pesticida metidation. Os materiais híbridos apresentaram desempenho superior aos fotocatalisadores orgânicos puros, o que representa um ótimo ponto inicial para a otimização deste processo. Também o comportamento fotofísico dos corantes impregnados nos materiais pilarizados foram estudados / Abstract: Recently, the interest to obtain modified layered materials is increasing, due to their properties and possible scientific and technological applications. Silicic acids such as magadiite, kenyaite and ilerite are extremely versatile compounds, allowing to vary the basal spacing by intercalation with carbonic long chains groups or ionic exchange process. Other possible modifications are isomorphic substitution by aluminum, titanium or iron atoms, with changeing the lamella chemical properties. In this investigation layered silicic acids magadiite, ilerite and kenyaite, containing also Al and Ti atoms inserted into the lamellar structure, were synthesized by hydrothermal method. For all cases was observed that with the increase of metal amount added or the hydrothermal treatment time there are phase transitions, following the order: from amorphous, to layered phase to crystobalite and tridimite, as mixtures of them at intermediate situations. Different pilarization methods with TiO2 were exhaustedly tested by varying many parameters. The most efficient methods used CTAB and TBAOH as swelling agents under reflux at 353 K, followed by direct alcoxide addition on the dry material, then refluxed at 363 K with dry nitrogen atmosphere. These materials have mesopores with 4.8 nm average diameter, nevertheless just 270 m g surface area. Some pillared materials were used to immobilize the photocatalyst pyrylium (TPP) and thiopyrylium (TPTP) and then test in the photocatalytic degradation of methidathion pesticide. The hybrid materials showed a better activity than that of pure organic, what means a great initial point to optimize this process. The photophysic behavior of impregnated dyes on pillared materials was also studied / Doutorado / Quimica Inorganica / Doutor em Ciências

The soil samples were collected in the following places: i) Estrada do Turismo (Oxisol, and ii) Bacia do Educandos (sediment) and Campus of the Universidade Federal do Amazonas (sediment). The kaolinites were obtained from soil samples using the physical fractionation (sieving/siphoning) and chemical treatment (HCl, H2SO4, H2O2, and KCl). The kaolinite lattice were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal analyses (TG / DTA / DTG) and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The adsorption capacity of orthophosphate ions was calculated by equations of Freundlich and Langergren. Despite transitions of typical pure kaolinites, findings indicate the presence of a clay mineral isomorphically substituted by Fe3+. The Fe3+ substitution changed kaolinites lattice such as optical propriety mainly pleochroism, reducing mean particle size, rinsing number of defects, magnetic proprieties. Mössbauer spectroscopy showed that the isomorphic substitution by Fe3+ occurs in octahedral sites. In whole kaolinite lattices there are different octaedral sites of Al bounded by cis-Fe3+ and trans-Fe3+ octaedral sites. The Kao1, which has higher number of cis-Fe3+ octaedral sites, adsorbed higher contents of orthophosphate ions than Kao2 and Kao3. / A estrutura de três caulinitas, bem como a sua capacidade para remover íons ortofosfato, foi investigada. As amostras de solo e sedimentos de fundo foram coletadas nos seguintes locais: i) Estrada do Turismo (Latossolo Amarelo), e ii) Bacia do Educandos (sedimento) e Campus da Universidade Federal do Amazonas (sedimento). As caulinitas foram obtidas a partir do fracionamento físico (peneiração/sifonação) e tratamento químico (HCl, H2SO4, H2O2, e KCl). A estrutura da caulinita foi determinada por Fluorescência de Raios X (FRX), Difratometria de Raios X (DRX), Análises térmicas (TG/DTG/DTA), Espectroscopia no Infravermelho com Transformada de Fourier (FTIR), Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV) e Espectroscopia Mössbauer. A capacidade de adsorção dos íons ortofosfato foi calculada pelas equações de Freundlich e Langergren. Apesar de transições típicas de caulinitas puras, os resultados indicam a presença de um mineral de argila isomorficamente substituído por Fe3+. A substituição de Fe3+ modificou as estruturas da caulinitas puras conforme observadas nas propriedades ópticas principalmente pleocroísmo, redução do tamanho médio de partícula, número de defeitos de lavagem, propriedades magnéticas. A espectroscopia Mössbauer mostrou que a substituição isomórfica por Fe3+ ocorre em sítios octaédricos. Em todas as estruturas das caulinita existem diferentes sítios octaédricos de Al3+ substituídos por Fe3+ formando octaedros do tipo cis-Fe3+ e trans-Fe3+. O Kao1, apresenta maior número sítios octaedrais cis-Fe3+, adsorvendo maior quantidade de íons ortofosfato que Kao2 e Kao3

Its solid phase is composed of minerals that present well defined and highly organized chemical composition. Tropical climate soils, classified as hardsetting, are kaolinitic and present low nutrient and organic matter amounts. Nowadays, there is no consensus about these soils hardsetting characteristics. The characterization of physical and chemical properties of these horizons and their granulometric fractions enables the physical, chemical and mineralogical investigation of five hardsetting soils in this study. Spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction with the Rietveld Method were employed. The RM-XRD made possible to quantify and estimate crystallite average size and mineral micro-deformations. Part of these results was associated to Kaolinite, Halloysite, and Goethite isomorphic substitution. The quantitative XRF analyses revealed the content of chemical elements in the soils under study with higher accuracy. The thermal analysis techniques showed that Kaolinite of weathered soils is susceptible to dehydroxylation at lower temperatures. SEM micrographs revealed the particle typical shapes and these results were confirmed through the AFM that estimated the number of crystallites and the average number of kaolinite layers in the clay fraction. Most of the particles observed through microscopic techniques were ascribed to the Kaolinite, and their micromorphological characteristics could be compared to crystallite size and microdeformations obtained through the RM-XRD. Therefore, based on the results of spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal analyses and X-ray diffraction with Rietveld Method, it was possible to understand the several degrees of crystallinity of minerals which are part of the granulometric fractions of hardsetting horizons in kaolinitic soils. / O solo é um meio complexo e heterogênio de sólidos, líquidos, gases e diversos organismos. A fase sólida é composta de minerais que apresentam composição química definida e altamente ordenada. Solos de clima tropical, classificados como coesos são cauliníticos e apresentam baixa quantidade de nutrientes e matéria orgânica. Atualmente não se chegou a um consenso sobre o caráter coeso desses solos. A caracterização das propriedades físicas e químicas desses horizontes e de suas frações granulométricas possibilita uma investigação física, química e mineralógica de cinco solos coesos de estudo desse trabalho. Para isso foram utilizadas técnicas espectroscópicas, microscópicas, de análises térmicas e Difração de raios X com método de Rietveld. Com os resultados de MR-DRX foi possível quantificar, estimar o tamanho médio de cristalitos e microdeformações dos minerais. Parte desses resultados foram associados com a substituição isomórfica na Caulinita, Haloisita e Goethita. As análises de FRX quantitativas revelaram maior acurácia o teor de elementos químicos nos solos estudados. As técnicas de análises térmicas mostraram que as Caulinitas de solos intemperizados são susceptíveis a desidroxilação a menores temperaturas. Micrografias por MEV revelaram os formatos típicos de partículas e esses resultados foram confirmados por meio da AFM que estimou a quantidade de cristalitos e o número médio de empilhamento das camadas de Caulinita na fração argila. A maior parte das partículas observadas nas técnicas microscópicas foi atribuída a Caulinita, sendo que suas características micromorfológicas puderam ser comparadas com tamanho de cristalitos e microdeformações obtidos pelo MRDRX. Assim, com base nos resultados das análises espectroscópicas, microscópicas, térmicas e de difração de raios X pelo método de Rietveld foi possível compreender os diversos graus de cristalinidade dos minerais que compõem as frações granulométricas de horizontes coesos de solos cauliníticos.

This thesis focuses on the synthesis and characterisation of organoclays. X-ray diffraction has been used to study the changes in the basal spacings of montmorillonite clay and surfactant-intercalated organoclays. Variation in the d-spacing was found to be a step function of the surfactant concentration. Three different molecular environments for surfactant octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (ODTMA) within the surface-modified montmorillonite are proposed upon the basis of their different decomposition temperatures. High-resolution thermogravimetric analysis (HRTG) shows that the thermal decomposition of montmorillonite modified with ODTMA takes place in four steps attributing to dehydration of adsorbed water, dehydration of water hydrating metal cations, loss of surfactant and the loss of OH units respectively. In addition, it has shown that the decomposition procedure of DODMA and TOMA modified clays are very different from that of ODTMA modified ones. The surfactant decomposition takes place in several steps in the DODMA and TOMA modified clays while for ODTMA modified clays, it shows only one step for the decomposition of surfactant. Also TG was proved to be a useful tool to estimate the amount of surfactant within the organoclays. A model is proposed in which, up to 0.4 CEC, a surfactant monolayer is formed between the montmorillonite clay layers; up to 0.8 CEC, a lateral-bilayer arrangement is formed; and above 1.5 CEC, a pseudotrimolecular layer is formed, with excess surfactant adsorbed on the clay surface. While for dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DODMA) and trioctadecylmethylammonium bromide (TOMA) modified clays, since the larger sizes of the surfactants, some layers of montmorillonite are kept unaltered because of steric effects. The configurations of surfactant within these organoclays usually take paraffin type layers. Thermal analysis also provides an indication of the thermal stability of the organoclay as shown by different starting decomposition temperatures. FTIR was used as a guide to determine the phase state of the organoclay interlayers as determined from the CH asymmetric stretching vibration of the surfactants to provide more information on surfactant configurations. It was used to study the changes in the spectra of the surfactant ODTMA upon intercalation into a sodium montmorillonite. Surfaces of montmorillonites were modified using ultrasonic and hydrothermal methods through the intercalation and adsorption of the cationic surfactant ODTMA. Changes in the surfaces and structure were characterized using electron microscopy. The ultrasonic preparation method results in a higher surfactant concentration within the montmorillonite interlayer when compared with that from the hydrothermal method. Both XRD patterns and TEM images demonstrate that SWy-2-Namontmorillonite contains superlayers. TEM images of organoclays prepared at high surfactant concentrations show alternate basal spacings between neighboring layers. SEM images show that modification with surfactant will reduce the clay particle aggregation. Organoclays prepared at low surfactant concentration display curved flakes, whereas they become flat with increasing intercalated surfactant. Fundamentally this thesis has increased the knowledge base of the structural and morphological properties of organo-montmorillonite clays. The configurations of surfactant in the organoclays have been further investigated and three different molecular environments for surfactant ODTMA within the surface-modified montmorillonite are proposed upon the basis of their different decomposition temperatures. Changes in the spectra of the surfactant upon intercalation into clay have been investigated in details. Novel surfactant-modified montmorillonite results in the formation of new nanophases with the potential for the removal of organic contaminants from aqueous media and for the removal of hydrocarbon spills on roads.
