RESUMO

The knowledge of the materials physical properties is specially important in the characterization of pure solids and mixtures. The solids mixtures have been used frequent1y in industriaI processes to improve the properties of interest of a material, as capacity of adsorption and drying time. This work aims to determine some physical properties of two solids, Kaolin and Zeolite Na Y, as well as of mixtures of these two solids. With this characterization, these materials wiIl be able to be applied in industrial processes with a better efficiency. The objective of the work is also to present equations that relate the properties of the pure materiais with the properties of their respective mixtures through the mass and volumetric fractions of the samples. In this way, only the characterization of the pure materials would be enough to predict the physical properties of a binary mixture or of a solid hold for three or more components. Another objective is to present reliable results so that these results can be used in the study of mass transport in the pores of materiais. The picnometer and mercury porosimeter had been used to determine the real and bulk densities, and also to determine the porosity of solids used in this work. From the data gotten in the porosimeter and using the equation of Washburn, the determination of the intrinsic and relative permeabilities of the samples was possible. The classic method to draw the desorption isotherms was used, where the results had been applied in the Kelvin and BET equations to determine the specific surface area and the fraction of micropores in the samples. Finally the particle size distribution was determined for the Kaolin and Zeolite Na Y with a Coulter Counter, for an analysis of how the particles of these two materials could be arranged between themselves. The derived equations had drawn curves that are in agreement with the experimental data gotten in this work. AlI the physical properties could be reproduced with the derived equations, especially the solid specific surface area and the fraction of micropores, where the agreement with the experimental results was practically total
