Resumo: In this work, the structure of sodium bentonite clay was modified using TiO2 and TiO2-oxides, doped with ZnO, and also by pillaring with mixed oxide Al/Fe and Al/Fe-doped Cu. The aim of this, is the application of these materials as adsorbents and photocatalyst of the paraquat herbicide. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform mid-infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection (FT-IR/ATR), thermal analysis (TG/DTG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), determination of specific surface area by the BET method, determination of particle average size and Zeta potential. As a complementary structural characterization, we conducted the temporal study of spectroscopic behavior of methylene blue dye. This dye was used as photochemical probe in suspensions of different clays in order to determine the physicochemical properties of the materials microenvironments. We investigated the adsorptive capacity and photocatalytic properties of bentonite clay and modified clays against paraquat herbicide in aqueous systems. Using adsorption kinetic and equilibrium studies applying linearized mathematical models to experimental data, we observed that the changes have not contributed to the increasing adsorption of paraquat. However, all clays showed substantial adsorptive capacity with maximum concentration adsorbed (Qmax) above 100 mg g-1, combined with a very rapid adsorption kinetics, reaching the equilibrium between 30 and 45 min. We observed that the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the adsorbents, exerted a significant influence on the adsorption capacity against the herbicide. And by thermal adsorption studies we noticed that this occurs in different regions according to the structural characteristics of the material. Photodegradation tests of paraquat herbicide showed that on the experimental conditions, the clays modified with TiO2, showed the best photocatalytic ...
