Abstract

Steelmaking processes generate large amounts of slag waste that contain silica, which can be recovered and converted into valuable products. In this study, silica (SiO?) was extracted from steel slag waste through alkaline extraction using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) followed by acid precipitation. The experimental parameters included NaOH concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 M, and extraction temperatures of 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 °C. Each extraction was carried out for 60 minutes with continuous stirring at 300 rpm. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that the product exhibited a broad peak at 2? around 20–30°, which is characteristic of amorphous silica. The results indicated that both NaOH concentration and temperature had a positive correlation with silica yield. As the NaOH concentration and extraction temperature increased, the percentage of extracted silica also increased. The optimum condition was achieved at 100 °C and 2.5 M NaOH, yielding silica with a purity of 91.10%. These findings highlight the potential of utilising steel slag waste as a low-cost raw material for producing amorphous silica. Furthermore, the process demonstrates a sustainable approach to waste valorization while providing high-purity silica for potential applications in industrial materials, adsorbents, and nanotechnology.

Abstract

Recovery of sodium chloride (NaCl) from bittern, a by-product of salt production, is often hindered by impurities such as Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺, which reduce NaCl purity. This study evaluated the effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentration and stirring time on NaCl recovery, using NaOH concentrations of 4.6 until 8.02 N and stirring durations of 20 until 60 minutes at a constant stirring speed of 300 rpm. The process involved NaOH addition, stirring, filtration of precipitates, and NaCl crystallization. Parameters such as impurity levels, pH, NaCl purity, and recovery percentage were analyzed. Results indicated that higher NaOH concentrations and longer stirring times generally decreased impurity levels and improved NaCl recovery. Optimal conditions 5.8 N NaOH and 50 minutes stirring yielded an impurity level of 0.0359%, NaCl purity of 89.61%, and a recovery rate of 85.57%. This study presents a novel approach by optimizing NaOH concentration and stirring time parameters to effectively minimize divalent ion contamination, thereby enhancing NaCl recovery from bittern. The findings have direct applicability in improving the efficiency of salt recovery processes in coastal salt industries, contributing to more sustainable salt production systems.

Abstract

Biogas is a renewable energy source with great potential to replace fossil fuels; however, the presence of CO? and H?S reduces its quality and combustion efficiency, making purification necessary. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CO? absorption using Bittern and alkaline solutions (3N KOH, 3N NaOH) with absorbent volumes ranging from 600 to 1000 ml. The absorption process was carried out in a bubble column, and the gas composition was analyzed using an Orsat apparatus and titration method. The results indicated that increasing absorbent volume reduced CO? concentration to 10–15% and H?S to below 1.2%, while increasing CH? content to more than 80%, in accordance with SNI 8019:2014 biogas standards. Stepwise absorption (Bittern–KOH/NaOH) was more effective than single absorbents, yielding up to 87% CH? and reducing CO? to 10%. XRF analysis of the precipitate showed calcium (84.58%) and magnesium (14%) dominance, confirming carbonate and sulfate precipitation. These findings demonstrate that Bittern and alkaline solutions are effective absorbents for biogas purification, with stepwise absorption providing the most optimal improvement in biogas quality.

Abstract

Salt is one of the consumer and industrial consumption products that has the maincontent of sodium chloride (NaCl). The present quality of the salt product currentlycontains about 90-93% sodium chloride, and the other is known as an impurities ofcalcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K) and sulfate (SO4) ions. The presence ofthese impurities will decrease the quality of the salt product, so a method is needed todecrease the content of impurities in the salt product. One of the methods that can beused to reduce the levels of impurities such as Ca, Mg, K, and sulfate (SO4) ions in saltsolution is ion exchange method. In this study we studied the effect of cation resinamount (50-150) grams per liter of salt solution and anion solution (150 grams) andcontact time (5-25) minutes on removal of Ca, Mg, K and SO4 ions. The study wasconducted in a stirred tank with a fixed rotation speed of 200 rpm, and the initial qualityof the salt solution contained Ca ions: 0.07%, Mg: 0.09%, K: 0.04% and SO4: 0.4%.Based on the result of the research, the removal of Ca ion: 93.6%, Mg: 78.93%, K:25.00% dan SO4: 85.47 % at condition of cation resin amount: 150 gram/liter andcontact time 25 minutes.

Abstract

Ceramic industrial waste contains organic compounds and several heavy metals that exceed the quality standards of ceramic industrial wastewater, therefore the wastewater is treated using the coagulation method. This study uses a coagulant Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) with the aim to determine the effect of coagulant mass and stirring time on reducing the content of COD, TSS, lead metal (Pb), and colour. Starting with the waste mixed with PAC has been diluted with a concentration of 1%. Then stirred using a flocculator with a speed of 100 rpm and time (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 minutes) to form floc. Then it is deposited and separated between the filtrate and the solids. Then the filtrate was analysed. With this analysis, it can be seen that the highest reduction efficiency of TSS levels was 99.9% with a coagulant volume of 12.5 ml at 6 minutes. The highest efficiency of COD levels was obtained at 98.23% with a coagulant volume of 15 ml at 6 minutes. The highest efficiency of waste colour reduction was 99.85% with a coagulant volume of 15 ml at 10 minutes and the efficiency of reducing Pb levels was 99.10% with a coagulant volume of 5ml at 2 minutes, all of which were below the quality standard ceramic industry.

Abstract

This article discusses the development of a prototype spray pipe evaporator and its efficiency in producing salt in Indonesia. Due to the length of the salt harvesting season in Indonesia, many salt farmers have closed their business doors, leaving many salt ponds abandoned. The spray pipe evaporator prototype was designed to produce a brine solution with a salinity of 23–24 Be from seawater, which has a salinity of 2.5–3.5 Be, in less than 3 days. This is faster than the conventional process of a brine solution salinity of 24 Be. The prototype spray pipe evaporator was assessed in a 20 x 60 m evaporation pool with a depth of 18 cm that contained brine solution with a salinity of 15.5 Be. The number of sprays installed was 11. The salinity increased from 15.5 Be to 20.5 Be after 8.5 hr of evaporation. Meanwhile, with conventional evaporation, the salinity of the brine solution reaches 16.5 Be after 3 days of evaporation. Based on calculations of the evaporation capacity for 11 sprays, it was determined that each spray can evaporate 7.6 m3 of water. A spray pipe evaporator is thus more recommended for evaporation of seawater with a salinity of around 3–5 Be. The ratio of evaporation ponds using spray to evaporation ponds without spray is around 1:15. The technical development conducted in this study improved the evaporation process through spraying, which is applicable for salt pond farming and the salt industry. This technology arguably saves energy for pumps and reduces the number of workers, thus benefitting the salt farmers’ communities in tropical contexts, such as Indonesia.
