Abstract

Salt waste (bittern) is a byproduct of the salt processing industry that is rich in magnesium, but is often not optimally utilized and is discharged into the environment. This study aims to produce magnesium oxide (MgO) from salt waste through a synthesis and characterization process. The synthesis process begins with the precipitation of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) using sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which is then calcined at various temperatures and times to convert it to MgO. The calcination temperature variations used include 300–700°C, and calcination times between 2 and 6 hours. Product characterization was carried out using the XRF method for chemical composition analysis, XRD to determine the crystal structure, and SEM to observe particle morphology. The results showed that calcination temperature and time have a significant effect on MgO formation. The optimal temperature to produce the highest MgO is 500°C, with the best calcination time of 3 hours. Under these conditions, the resulting MgO has a crystal size of approximately 42 nm and a uniform and porous particle morphology. This research proves that salt waste has great potential to be utilized as a raw material for magnesium oxide, which not only reduces environmental pollution but also provides economic added value.

Abstract

Limbah cair merupakan sisa buangan dalam suatu proses yang tidak digunakan lagi. Limbah cair tersebut tidak boleh dibuang sembarangan. Terdapat baku mutu yang mengatur kadar maksimal dalam pembuangan limbah cair. Pengolahan limbah cair perlu dilakukan agar data memenuhi baku mutu tersebut, salah satunya menggunakan metode ion exchange. Metode ion exchange dapat menurunkan kadar logam berat dalam suatu limbah cair. Logam berat tersebut memiliki efek toksik jika terakumulasi dalam tubuh makhluk hidup. Ion exchange menggunakan resin penukar ion untuk menukar logam berat seperti timbal dan kadmium. Resin yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah resin kation asam kuat Trillite KH 80. Untuk memaksimalkan pertukaran ion variabel yang dijalankan yaitu tinggi resin, laju alir dan recycle. Tinggi resin yang digunakan secara berturut turut 20; 24; 28; 32; 36 cm yang akan dimasukkan dalam kolom penukar ion dengan diameter 7 cm. Laju alir yang digunakan dalam mengalirkan limbah cair yaitu 60; 70; 80; 90; 100 mL/menit. Recycle dilakukan sebanyak 1-3 kali. Logam berat yang diamati yaitu timbal dan cadmium. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tinggi resin 36 cm, laju alir 60 mL/menit dengan recycle 3 kali merupakan hasil terbaik. Kadar akhir timbal yang didapat sebesar 1,3 mg/L dan kadar akhir cadmium sebesar 0,03 mg/L.

Abstract

The utilization of biowaste as an alternative raw material has attracted increasing attention in biomaterial research. Snail shell waste, which is abundant and underutilized, contains a high calcium carbonate content and offers a unique, low-cost, and sustainable precursor for calcium phosphate synthesis, particularly for bone substitute applications. This study aimed to synthesize calcium phosphate from snail shell waste using the hydrothermal method and to evaluate the effects of pH and hydrothermal time on phase formation, purity, and particle size. The shells were calcined at 800 °C for 4 hours to produce calcium oxide (CaO), then reacted with phosphoric acid at pH 8–12 under hydrothermal conditions for 25–125 minutes. The precipitates were dried and sintered at 1000 °C for 5 hours. X-ray fluorescence analysis showed a CaO content of 99.20%. X-ray diffraction revealed calcium hydrogen phosphate, hydroxyapatite, and calcium carbonate phosphate hydroxide phases. The highest hydroxyapatite content (54%) was obtained at pH 8 and 25 minutes. Higher pH and longer processing time reduced purity. Scanning electron microscopy showed granular morphology, with particle sizes decreasing from 63 nm to 28 nm as pH increased. Although promising, the hydroxyapatite content does not yet meet RSNI3 ISO 13175-3:2012 requirements.
