Description
Summary:In this paper, the process for the synthesis of LTA and/or FAU zeolites from waste materials from mining and manufacturing industry from Antioquia (Colombia) was described. The product was used as adsorbent for the removal of Cr (III) in solutions prepared in the laboratory. The waste materials were characterized by X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray diffraction. The zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and BET area. Absorption data in Cr(III) removal tests were obtained by elemental composition from atomic absorption spectroscopy, and evaluated by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models, and four kinetics models. The results showed the formation of zeolites from waste materials, and effective in adsorption tests of Cr (III). En este artículo se describe el proceso de síntesis de zeolitas LTA y/o FAU a partir de residuos obtenidos de la industria minera y manufacturera de Antioquia (Colombia), y su uso para la remoción de Cr (III). Los residuos industriales fueron caracterizados por Fluorescencia de Rayos X y Difracción de Rayos X. Así mismo, las zeolitas sintetizadas a partir de estos residuos se caracterizaron por medio de Difracción de Rayos X, Fluorescencia de Rayos X, Espectroscopía Electrónica de Barrido (SEM) y Área BET. Por otra parte los datos de adsorción en el equilibrio para la remoción Cr (III) utilizando las zeolitas sintetizadas, fueron obtenidos por espectroscopia de adsorción atómica, y ajustados a los modelos de adsorción Langmuir, Freundlich y Temkin, y cuatro modelos cinéticos. Los resultados indicaron la obtención de zeolitas a partir de residuos industriales eficientes en las pruebas de adsorción de Cr (III).
