Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods of obtaining absorbent materials for water purification. Also, the invention relates to the absorbent materials obtained and applications associated with said materials. STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
- Water is a limited and indispensable resource for both civilization and the environment and the life that develops in it. For this reason it is necessary to properly manage this resource, ensuring not only the availability but the quality of these waters.
- These waters can be contaminated through different pathways that encompass natural and anthropogenic mechanisms with a variety, perhaps excessive, of contaminants.
- pollutant that the waters have, they can be adequately purified for human consumption (drinking water) or reused for other purposes that do not require to reach the demanding conditions that a water must have to be destined for human consumption.
- the clay minerals generally, minerals from the smectite group. These minerals have particular crystallochemical characteristics that make them have very interesting absorbent properties from an environmental point of view.
- the crystalline structure of the smectite group minerals is based on the stacking of sheets formed by three layers.
- Part of the Si 4+ of the tetrahedral layers (approximately 1 in 8) are isomorphically substituted by Al 3+ , generating an excess of negative charge on the surfaces of the sheets that are compensated with the existence of cations in the space between the sheets (interlaminar space).
- the existence of these isomorphic substitutions that generate negative charges that have to be compensated, together with the location of OH groups on the surface and the existence of other structural defects provide the minerals of the smectite group with active adsorption centers that are going to confer very good adsorbent properties.
- organo-clays have serious drawbacks. These derive, in the first place, from the uncontrolled reversibility of the adsorption process and the ease with which the alkylammonium cations of the organo-clays are released, transforming into potential contaminants.
- the adsorbent materials object of the invention comprise, as raw material or base, clay minerals, preferably smectite minerals, more preferably dioctahedral smectite minerals (aluminum smectites) and / or trioctrahedral smectite minerals (magnesium smectites), more preferably even minerals of montmorillonite (Mont) and / or saponite (Sap), such forms obtainable from bentonites, with antagonistic crystallochemical characteristics, and whose abundance in nature makes them extremely economical.
- clay minerals preferably smectite minerals, more preferably dioctahedral smectite minerals (aluminum smectites) and / or trioctrahedral smectite minerals (magnesium smectites), more preferably even minerals of montmorillonite (Mont) and / or saponite (Sap), such
- Bentonites such as those referred to are very common throughout the land area, so, given that transport is one of the factors that make the product more expensive, the design of manufacturing systems should be as economical as possible to implement these systems. manufacturing where water purification is required. Indicate that montmorillonite and saponite themselves must be taken into account as part of the catalog of adsorbent materials given their excellent qualities in water purification.
- the methods of production have been designed with the aim of generating a wide catalog of absorbent materials, economical, based on natural minerals (clays) and that are capable of removing contaminants from drinking water.
- one of the characteristics that influence the design of the methods of obtaining it is the need to easily scale the synthesis according to the quantities required for each specific problem of purification of water for consumption.
- the capacities of cationic change of the starting materials are determined by means of the ammonium acetate method (Sumner and Miller, 1996 ).
- said methods of obtaining comprise a stage of delamination, after the stage, where appropriate, of conditioning (preferably by ultrasonic cavitation) that allows generating monolayers of the base or starting material ( clay ores, preferably smectite ores, more preferably dioctahedral smectite ores and / or trioctrahedral smectite ores, more preferably even Mont and / or Sap ores).
- clay ores preferably smectite ores, more preferably dioctahedral smectite ores and / or trioctrahedral smectite ores, more preferably even Mont and / or Sap ores.
- the invention relates to methods implemented in computer for the selection of absorbent materials for the treatment or purification of contaminated water, particularly for the selection of absorbent materials obtained by the processes for obtaining absorbent materials object of the invention.
- These methods based on mathematical modeling, allow the selection of the most efficient and most economical type of material for the adsorption of contaminants present in waters intended for human consumption (heavy metals, organic metals, humic substances and mixtures thereof).
- the stationary system type of complete mixture
- the adsorbent material that is homogeneously dispersed in the water is added to achieve the removal of the contaminant
- a system based on the use of column filters that pass the wastewater through a porous bed comprising a mixture, of suitable proportions, of sand and an adsorbent material from the catalog of materials described in the section previous.
- Methods of obtaining the materials constituting the first object of the invention are object of the present invention, said methods comprising an ultrasonic cavitation stage, preferably high energy ultrasonic cavitation, an impregnation stage, preferably direct impregnation, and a stage of calcination); stages that allow the addition of metal oxides to the monolamines, said metal oxides, preferably iron oxides and / or aluminum oxides, providing new adsorption centers on those of the monolamines.
- the materials, thus obtained have yields far superior to active carbon in the elimination of a large number of pollutants and a stability far superior to that of organo-clays.
- object (second object) of the present invention are absorbent materials for the purification of water obtained by means of the obtaining procedures that constitute the first object of the invention, hereinafter referred to as oxides supported on 2: 1 monolamines of clays (OSML), comprising as base material 2: 1 monoláminas of clay minerals, preferably smectite ores, more preferably dioctahedral smectite ores and / or trioctrahedral smectite ores, more preferably even montmorillonite (Mont) and / or saponite (Sap) ores .

These cations can be exchanged for others that are in an aqueous solution.
- the cationic exchange capacity expresses the number of moles of adsorbed positively charged ions that can be exchanged per unit of dry mass of smectite. 2: 1 monolamines: The crystalline structure of the smectite group minerals is based on the stacking of sheets formed by three layers.
- the sheets of the smectite group minerals are formed by two tetrahedral layers and an octahedral layer. Hence, they are called 2: 1 sheets to differentiate them from other minerals such as those of the kaolinite group (1: 1) whose structure is based on the stacking of sheets formed by two layers, one octahedral and one tetrahedral.

- the adequate dispersion of the clay particle packages, preferably smectites, which are naturally aggregated in the starting samples, and in turn the total delamination of the dispersed particles in monolilamines 2: 1 is achieved. In this way, all adsorbent centers are exposed on the external surface.
- reactors preferably cylindrical conical-based reactors (to favor the collection of materials), more preferably reactors made of an economic material that, in addition it must be inert in the chemical conditions in which the different reactions are to be carried out and must allow, directly, scaling depending on the amount of material to be synthesized.
- the resulting aqueous suspension is kept under stirring in the reactors, preferably for 24 hours, more preferably with the aid of a 0.5 hp agitator with a 600 rpm output speed reducer and with a rod and propeller made of a material resistant to the physical-chemical conditions in which the impregnation takes place.

Ovens will be used for this.
- the materials are ground, for example in industrial ball mills, preferably inside cylinders (of sizes depending on the amount of material to be ground) with steel spheres (preferably> 10 mm in diameter ) that rotate at constant speed, for example with the help of rollers, until the dispersed particles are obtained. It is important to keep track of the grinding process since excessive grinding leads to the amorphousization of the material and the formation of hard aggregates that would nullify the adsorbent properties of the synthesized materials.
- the size of this ball mill will be, where appropriate, directly scalable to the amount of material to be manufactured.
