RESUMO

The biopolymer chitosan was submitted to a series of reactions, with the purpose to explore the free amino group reactivity polymeric chain through reactions involving organic chlorides and primary amines compounds. Isophthaloyl dichloride and cyanuric chloride were used in the modifications, following by reactions with ethylenediamine or diethylenetriamine. The new biopolymers were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, carbon 13 nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray diffratometry, thermal analysis and scanning electronic microscope. These surfaces were applied as a metal remover from aqueous solution. The pristine chitosan presents the following sorption order for metallic cations on surface: Cu >Cd >Ni >Pb >Co >Zn, with maximum values of sorption capacity being N: 2,09±0,05, 1,39±0,03, 1,33±0,02, 1,05±0,02, 1,04±0,02 and 0,76±0,02 mmol g, respectively. The same order was found to the chemically modified chitosans, but in this case they had presented higher N values in comparison to the non modified chitosan. The calorimetric results showed that the metals sorption on chitosan and its derivatives is an exothermic process with DH values varying between -1,95 a -61,89 kJ mol. In general, the chemical modified chitosan presented higher enthalpic values than chitosan, which behavior follows the sorption process. The spontaneity of the sorption process was proven through the negative DG values, about -20 kJ mol. The negative entropic values suggest a system ordering from the metal complexation with the available basic center in the pendant chair bonded in polymer. The sorption and calorimetric results suggest that chemically modified chitosan present higher sorption capacity from aqueous solution, when compared with chitosan. Therefore, these materials can be successfully used in metal removal of industrial effluents, decreasing toxic effects caused by heavy metals, with the purpose to renew an ecosystem.
