Fuller's earth is an inorganic material used in the electric industry for dielectric oil regeneration. After decontamination treatment, Fuller's earth is regenerated and reused. In this study, the removal capacity of regenerated Fuller for the treatment of water contaminated with dyes of different nature and in turn, how this capacity can be increased by structural modification of the material was evaluated. Thus, the regenerated Fuller earth without any modification reached 99% removal of methylene blue. However, for treatment of effluents contaminated with red 40, acid and thermal modification of material was required to obtain adsorption greater than 94% of the dye. In conclusion, regenerated Fuller earth adsorbent is suitable for treating effluents contaminated with cationic coloring materials. However, removal of anionic dyes is not efficient, the structural modification of the material to be necessary to enhance the removal of these type colorants.
La tierra Fuller es un material inorgánico usado en la industria eléctrica para la regeneración del aceite dieléctrico. Después de un tratamiento de descontaminación, la tierra Fuller se regenera y reutiliza. En este estudio se evaluó la capacidad de remoción de la tierra Fuller regenerada para el tratamiento de aguas contaminadas con colorantes de diferente naturaleza y a su vez, como esta capacidad puede ser aumentada mediante la modificación estructural del material. Así, la tierra Fuller regenerada sin ninguna modificación alcanzó remociones del 99% de azul de metileno. Sin embargo, para el tratamiento de efluentes contaminados con rojo 40 se requirió la modificación acida y térmica del material para obtener adsorciones superiores al 94% del colorante. En conclusión, la tierra Fuller regenerada es un material adsorbente adecuado para el tratamiento de efluentes contaminados con colorantes de naturaleza catiónica. No obstante, la remoción de colorantes aniónicos no es eficiente, siendo necesaria la modificación estructural del material para mejorar la remoción de este tipo de colorantes.
