Abstract

Functional group analysis of silica gel synthesized from river sand magnetic minerals using the sol-gel method was conducted. River sand magnetic mineral samples were taken from Sompang River, Lombok. The synthesis method used is a sol-gel method with variation of HCl acid 10 M and NH4OH base 10 M. Morphological characterization using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and mineral content analysis using Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). The morphology of the resulting silica gel is granular, showing crystalline properties with a silica concentration of 77.99 ± 0.17 atomic percent. Silica functional groups before absorption showed three stretching vibrations, namely OH group stretching vibrations in Si-OH and H2O at an absorption wavelength of 3669.77 cm-1, Si-O stretching vibrations from siloxane (Si-O-Si) at an absorption wavelength of 2858.51 cm-1 and Si-O asymmetric stretching vibrations from silanol (Si-OH) at an absorption wavelength of 962.88 cm-1. While the results of the analysis of silica gel after absorption show that almost all samples have vibrational absorption in the range of 400-500 cm-1. Other vibrational absorptions in silica samples that have been used as water filters indicate that the bonding between nano-silica as an absorber and heavy metals is due to the magnetic properties of nano-silica.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize hematite based on magnetic minerals from the Geres River sand, which is used as a heavy metal absorbent. The Geres River iron sand-based magnetic mineral has a high iron content that can be extracted to produce hematite. The synthesis method used is the coprecipitation method. Mineral content and morphology were characterized using SEM-EDX. Hematite functional groups were analyzed using FTIR. Water quality analysis was based on physical parameters (conductivity and TDS) using a TDS meter, while the heavy metal content of Mn before and after filtration was analyzed using AAS. Based on SEM-EDX analysis, the average grain size of hematite was (0.99 ± 0.20) µm with the highest element content of Fe (72.90 ± 0.28) %. Functional groups are formed at a wavelength of 951.72 cm-1, which shows the Fe=O double bond. After filtration, hematite was able to reduce the heavy metal content of Mn by 19.58%, followed by a decrease in conductivity by 12.95% and a decrease in TDS by 15.18%. This shows that hematite is effectively used as a heavy metal absorbent. Through this research, it is hoped that the community will not only use iron sand magnetic minerals as building materials but also process them into more useful materials such as hematite, which can be used as a heavy metal absorbent.
