Abstract

Thorium is an essential element as an alternative nuclear fuel to replace uranium. Thorium is found in the mineral monazite, which is a by-product of the alluvial tin mining process. Many methods have been used to extract and separate thorium from uranium and REEs from monazite, one of which is the organic solvent extraction method. In this research, the primene JMT, which is an extractant of primary amine compounds, was used in the method. The studied parameters are feed pH, JMT primene concentration, and stirring speed. The results show that the optimum conditions for Th extraction in monazite using solvent extraction method primene JMT were obtained at pH 0.5, extractant concentration of 2%, and stirring speed of 300 rpm with Th recovery of 94.05% while U and REE were not extracted.

Abstract

Synthesis is an integration of two or more existing elements to produce a new result. Key orange (Citrus x microcarpa Bunge) is a Bangka Belitung plant that contains citric acid with a high acidic taste. Its high acidic nature can be used as a catalyst that can accelerate the reaction rate in synthesizing an α-terpineol compound from α-pinene contained in broomstick essential oil. The synthesis of α-terpineol can be done using combined and uncombined catalysts, namely 15% sulfuric acid, 99.5% acetic acid and natural citric acid from key lime juice. This study aims to determine the optimum composition of the catalyst combination of sulfuric acid, acetic acid and key lime juice in synthesizing α-terpineol compounds and the level of α-terpineol produced from the synthesis. The optimum result of the combination of catalysts that can synthesize α-pinene into α-terpineol quite well is using 15% sulfuric acid as much as 1 ml, 99.5% acetic acid as much as 1 ml and citric acid from key orange juice as much as 3 ml. The results of α-terpineol content of each catalyst are Product 1 by 33.14%, Product 2 by 6.36%, Product 3 by 1.00%, Product 4 by 17.32% and Product 5 by 18.43%.
