Resumen
Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) The macromolecule sodium lignosulfonate (SL) has been investigated as dispersing agent for aqueous alumina colloids as a renewable alternative to usual petrochemical stabilizing agents. Optimization of the SL concentration necessary to stabilize the alumina suspension at different pH values was determined by viscometer. The results showed that addition of 250 ppm of the total suspension mass led to about 70% viscosity reduction of the suspension, whereas zeta potential analysis revealed negative values for the SL suspensions throughout the pH range investigated, suggesting that the alumina particles were covered by negatively charged SL molecules. Particle size investigation informed that the average particle diameter of the SL suspensions was smaller compared to that of the pristine particles. Sedimentation time for the SL suspensions was dramatically longer than that for the pristine one. The reported data strongly corroborated that SL is a suitable renewable dispersing agent for aqueous alumina colloids. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. 82
