Resumo

Lixiviados de aterros sanitários são efluentes de elevada complexidade e recalcitrância, apresentando alto potencial poluidor quando não submetidos a tratamentos adequados. O processo Fenton heterogêneo com nanocatalisador Ni0,5Zn0,5Fe2O4 foi aplicado para otimizar a descoloração de lixiviado estabilizado in natura de aterro sanitário, considerando-se o número de cor em termos do coeficiente de absorção espectral. Para isso, foram utilizados o delineamento composto central rotacional (DCCR) e a metodologia de superfície de resposta (MSR) para a otimização dos parâmetros operacionais: pH, concentração de catalisador e fator de H2O2. O catalisador Ni0,5Zn0,5Fe2O4 foi caracterizado por difração de raios X (DRX), espectroscopia no infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (FTIR), análise textural pelo método BET-BJH, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e espalhamento dinâmico de luz (DLS). De acordo com a análise de variância (ANOVA), o modelo gerado pela regressão dos dados experimentais foi estatisticamente significativo, com coeficiente de determinação (R2) de 0,96. O ponto ótimo definido pelas superfícies de resposta correspondeu aos valores de 1,14 de fator de H2O2, 8,02 de pH e 0,66 g L-1 de concentração de catalisador, cuja combinação de valores resultou na resposta teórica de 89,70% de descoloração do lixiviado. Os testes de validação revelaram excelente ajuste entre o valor predito pelo modelo e os valores obtidos experimentalmente. A reprodutibilidade da condição otimizada limita-se aos lixiviados estabilizados. Na condição otimizada, o processo Fenton heterogêneo, quando comparado aos processos isolados H2O2 e Ni0,5Zn0,5Fe2O4, proporcionou maiores remoções de absorbância de compostos aromáticos simples e conjugados, como também de área espectral integrada de 200 a 800 nm, revelando, portanto, sua efetividade no tratamento de lixiviado de aterro sanitário, considerando-se os parâmetros analisados e sua contribuição para o alcance dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS).
