Resumo
Heavy metals are among the most harmful pollutants to the environment and human health. They are present in various industrial
processes, requiring increasingly efficient treatments for removing their excessive concentration at acceptable levels before
disposal. Adsorption is a widely used technique due to its efficiency, selectivity, and low cost. In this work, alumina ceramic
microspheres, both pure and Si-doped, were produced by internal gelation to serve as adsorbents in the treatment of aqueous
effluents containing Zn²+, Ni²+, and Mn²+, originating from the tri-cationic phosphatization process in the automotive industry.
These microspheres, calcined at 600 °C and 700 °C, were characterized according to size distribution, specific surface area, gas
adsorption, XRD, SEM, and optical microscopy. The effluent was treated in a fixed-bed column filled with these microspheres.
The concentration of the three heavy metals was reduced by more than 90%, indicating the high efficiency of alumina ceramic
microspheres as adsorbents of these heavy metals.
