Resumo:
Nanoparticles of metallic oxides have been studied because of their optical, electronic and magnetic properties. In addition, spinel, particularly cobalt ferrite (Fe2CoO4), has stood out due to the increasing number of applications aimed at exploiting its catalytic potential, especially in the field of green chemistry. In this context, the present work focuses on the synthesis of Fe2CoO4 spinel nanoparticles, within the scope of a sol-gel processing route, which are then characterized for the study of relevant characteristics such as elemental chemical composition, cationic disorder, Size and morphology of the crystals, via electron microscopy (SEM / EDS) and X - ray diffraction (XRD). Finally, the catalytic potential of the nano particles produced was investigated with respect to the oxidation of a carbon-enriched raw material from the pyrolysis of the wood, through preliminary tests in a tubular furnace, as well as via thermogravimetric (TG) experiments. In this context, several samples were produced by varying the calcination temperature (300 to 1000 degrees Celsius), aiming to establish correlations between the measured catalytic activity and the intrinsic characteristics of each material. The obtained results suggest that the samples produced at 300 and 400 degrees Celsius with 6h of treatment presented superior catalytic activity for the oxidation of the raw material at 600 degrees Celsius conducted in the tubular furnace. The catalytic activity was also verified through thermogravimetric tests conducted with the sample calcined at 400 degrees Celsius in the temperature range between 480 and 630 degrees Celsius. The oxide of interest was shown to be stable in said temperature range. The unreacted nucleus model allowed a quantitative evaluation of the oxidation kinetics of the coal in said temperature range, with a single activation energy value of 50.1 kJ / mol.
