Abstract

AbstractElectric vehicles become the alternative to solve the climate change and global warming problems by providing a more eco-friendly and sustainable source of energy. As the demand for sustainable vehicles increased, the functionality of batteries become crucial. One of the important aspects inside the batteries is nickel. Nickel plays a big role in lithium-ion batteries by delivering greater amounts of energy density with a higher storage capacity, which means it provides bigger efficiency to the batteries. Yet, the attempt of optimizing nickel extraction remains a challenge. Therfore, nickel extraction process of lateritic ore with high efficiency is investigated by using hydrometellurgy process, specifically the iron removal process in atmospheric condition in mixed hydroxide precipitates (MHP) route.The reagent solution of (20% w/w and 25%  w/w) calcium carbonate (CaCO3) at pH (1, 2, 3) were utilized as additive in this process. The precipitates resulted from PLS were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM–EDS), while the filtrates were investigated by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). Analysis based on precipitates demonstrates that the acid neutralization process took place with a sufficient amount of iron in the precipitates with the least amount of nickel. In addition, all pH and concentration of precipitates qualitatively illustrate the same neutralization process involving calcium and sulfur. From the results of filtrate through ICP testing in this study, pH 1 for both 20% and 25% concentration provides the lowest recovery rate alongside the smallest ppm compare to pH 2 and 3; thus, the iron precipitates in the formation of iron sulfide and/or iron sulfate. Overall, the optimum parameter is 25% of calcium carbonate, pH 1, 90oC for 2 hours of agitation to reduce the amount of iron in the solution.

Abstract

EFFECT OF 5 WT.% WPCB POWDER AS REDUCTANT ON INDONESIAN LIMONITICNICKEL ORE PROCESSING. Waste printed circuit boards (WPCB) are among the most valuable parts of electronic waste with one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of WPCB powder as an alternative reducing agent for the carbothermic process in nickel lateritic ore processing. WPCB waste was mixed with nickel ore at 1100ÚC in inert atmosphere. In addition, a conventional reductant of coal is also utilized for comparison. Both reductant are varied in concentration of 5 wt% and 15 wt%. Based on thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTA) investigation, it is observed that there exists a difference between WPCB powder, nickeliferous ore powder, and the mixture in their decomposed levels. The decomposed gasses of WPCB produced by thermal degradation in the TGA instrument are mainly composed of reduction gas, which plays a critical role in reducing the nickeliferous ore. This study shows that WPCB powder performs comparably to sub-bituminous coal in the pyrometallurgical processing of nickel ore, which is proved by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) test results that the carbothermic products consists of FeNi, magnetite, wustite and fayalite. It can be concluded than WPCB powder has potential to be utilize as an alternative reductant.

Abstract

The utilization of slag as a secondary resource is usually processed by a reduction process with coal reducing agents or by leaching process. However, this study will use palm kernel shell as an alternative reducing agent to substitute coal. Palm kernel shell was chosen as an alternative reducing agent because of their availability in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of palm kernel shell as reducing agent and its concentration (wt.%) to the ferronickel slag reduction process. The initial sample is ferronickel slag which had been proceed by alkali fusion by adding 20 wt.% sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) as an additive and then roasted. The roasted product is then mixed with palm kernel shell reductant by ratio (sample : reductant), which are 15:85, 20:80, and 25:75 in weight percent. Samples that have been mixed are then compacted using compacting machine. Then the reduction process is carried out using a tube furnace at a temperature of 1100°C for 60 minutes with a heating rate of 10°C/minute. The palm kernel shells were analyzed using ultimate and proximate analysis, while the reduced product is then characterized by SEM-EDS and XRD for further analysis. Based on the results of the characterization, in this study it was found that the reduction process using palm kernel shell produces products in the form of iron metal, magnetite, hematite, and sodium silicate. The optimum reducing agent concentration in this study is by adding 15 wt.% reductant.

Abstract

Solid particles have a higher thermal conductivity compared to a fluid. Therefore, it is a common practice to disperse solid particles inside a base fluid to increase its thermal conductivity. The particle-dispersed fluid is called a thermal fluid. Thermal fluid, such as a coolant, is widely used as a heat transfer fluid. Several types of particles can be used to increase the thermal conductivity of the fluid, i.e., metallic particles, metal-oxide particles, or even carbon-based particles. In this research, a carbon-based particle was used as the dispersed particle. The particle was obtained by processing electronic waste, specifically Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The PCB was pyrolyzed for variable duration at 15, 30, and 45 minutes to increase the carbon content. After pyrolyzing, the particle was milled to reduce its size. Subsequently, the PCB particle was added to distilled water. Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate (SDBS) was added as a surfactant to increase fluid stability and prevent particle agglomeration. Thermal conductivity was improved by up to a 13% increase at the 15-minute pyrolysis. Adding SDBS surfactant also improves the thermal fluid's stability to -29,1 mV. The fluid's viscosity was slightly increased up to a maximum of 0.984 mPa.S.

Abstract

The prototype of a magnetic separator was initiated and manufactured for handling undersized products of Pierce Smith Converter which has been channeled to a temporary shelter called a matte pond. It was dredged three to four times a year and it’s costly. This expenditure can be minimized by the manufacture of magnetic separators that are used to attract undersized nickel products. The manufacture of this prototype uses a scale of 1:20.000 for the volume of water and nickel matte, while for chute and magnetic drums with a scale of 1:4 from the conditions in the field. This research aims to determine whether magnetic separators are relevant for installation in the nickel processing industry, with the slope angle of the chute and magnetic power as the main parameters. Thus the matte pond can be minimized and undersized products can be directly processed and distributed to consumers. The material used in the manufacture of this prototype is aluminum sheet 1/16 which is rolled for magnetic drums, aluminum sheet 1/8 in for chute, copper wire 0.5 mm and mild steel, lathe for rods and axis, and bending for magnetic holders. The result of this magnetic separator prototype is 24.48% nickel can be attracted.
