RESUMO

In the present work, studies on the interaction between the cationic dye methylene blue and clay particles in aqueous suspension are presented, aiming to detect migration processes of dyes molecules between clay particles. Up to now, the interaction between dye molecules and clay particles is described considering mainly two processes, one due to the adsorption of the dye molecules onto the outer surfaces of the clay particles, and subsequent migration toward the inner surfaces of the clay tactoids. The other process involves particle-particle interaction; the interaction between clay particles promotes particle agglomeration, with dye molecules being trapped in the internal sites formed between particles. There are strong evidences that dye molecules can exchange between dye coated particles, and in the present study a methodology was idealized to detect spectral changes, which could be attributed to migration of dye molecules between clay particles. According to the methodology used, clay particles were added to a dye-clay suspension and spectrophotometric measurements in the visible region was taken after different time intervals. The results were compared with reference spectra, determined for samples prepared adding water to the clay-dye suspension. The results showed that the spectral behavior of the samples and the reference were different, and this behavior can be attributed to the migration of adsorbed dye molecules between clay particles. It was observed that migration occurs preferentially in a direction towards the SWy-1 clay particles. The clay SWy-1 has interlamellar surfaces available to the dye adsorption. In the interlamellar region there are acids sites, where the dyes molecules are protonated. The protonation of dye molecules stabilize the adsorbed molecules. The experiments using dialysis membrane showed that when the particles are isolated by a membrane, the migration between clay particles do not occur, indicating that a close contact or interaction between the clay particles is necessary to the migration occur.
