In this work MCM-41 and FeMCM41 were synthesized using rice husk ash - RHA as alternative to the conventional silica source. Hydrothermal synthesis was the method chosen to prepare the materials. Pre-defined synthesis parameters were 100?C for 168 hours, later the precursor was calcinated at 550?C for 2 hours under nitrogen and air flow. The sieves containing different proportions of iron were produced by two routes: introduction of iron salt direct synthesis; and a modification post synthesis consisting in iron salt 1 % and 5% impregnation in the material followed by thermal decomposition. The molecular sieves were characterized by X ray diffraction XRD, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, X ray fluorescence spectroscopy XFR, scanning electronic microscopy SEM, specific surface area using the BET method, Termogravimetry TG. The kinetic model of Flynn Wall was used with the aim of determining the apparent activation energy of the surfactant remove (CTMABr) in the MCM- 41 porous. The analysis made possible the morphology characterization, identifying the presence of hexagonal structure typical for mesoporous materials, as well as observation of the MCM41 and iron of characteristic bands. / As peneiras moleculares mesoporosas do tipo MCM-41 e FeMCM-41, s?o consideradas promissoras como suporte para metais, usadas como catalisadores em processos de refino de materiais a base de petr?leo e como adsorventes com o prop?sito de prote??o ambiental. Neste trabalho MCM-41 e FeMCM-41 foram sintetizadas utilizando a cinza da casca de arroz CCA, como alternativa para a fonte de s?lica. O m?todo escolhido foi a s?ntese hidrotermal para o preparo dos materiais, a temperatura de 100 ?C por 168 horas em estufa, posteriormente foi calcinado a 550 ?C por 2 horas sob fluxo de nitrog?nio e ar. As peneiras moleculares contendo diferentes propor??es de ferro foram produzidas por duas rotas: introdu??o do sal de ferro no gel de s?ntese e impregna??o de 1% e 5% de ferro no MCM-41 sintetizado. As peneiras moleculares foram caracterizadas por difra??o de raios X DRX, espectroscopia no infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR), espectroscopia de fluoresc?ncia de raios X FRX, microscopia eletr?nica de varredura MEV, ?rea superficial espec?fica atrav?s do m?todo BET e Termogravimetria TG. O modelo cin?tico de Flynn Wall foi utilizado com o objetivo de determinar a energia de ativa??o aparente da remo??o do surfactante (CTMABr) nos poros do MCM-41. As an?lises possibilitaram a caracteriza??o morfol?gica, identificando a presen?a da estrutura hexagonal t?pica dos materiais mesoporosos, assim como das bandas caracter?sticas do MCM41 e do ferro.
