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.

Abstract

Shell waste accumulates along the coastal areas of Surabaya and Sidoarjo, with various types of shells including blood shells, green shells, feather shells, kampak shells, and batik shells. Currently, the waste from these shells is not being utilized optimally. Marine shell waste contains more than 95% calcium carbonate (CaCO3), making it suitable for the production of aragonite crystals, which can serve as raw materials for applications such as bone regeneration, paper manufacturing, and as fillers in rubber and plastics. The objective of this research is to synthesize aragonite from five types of marine shells and to investigate the effect of carbonation temperature on the percentage of aragonite formation. The method employed for synthesizing aragonite crystals is carbonation. Initially, the CaCO3 derived from marine shells is calcined at 900°C to produce calcium oxide (CaO). This calcium oxide is then dissolved in hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form calcium chloride (CaCl2). Subsequently, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to CaCl2, and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is bubbled through the solution to precipitate CaCO3 along with by-products of NaCl and water. The variables examined include comparisons among five types of shells (blood shells, green shells, feather shells, kampak shells, and batik shells) at calcination temperatures of 30°C, 60°C, and 90°C. The best results were obtained from the synthesis using green shells, yielding an aragonite crystal polymorph percentage of 76.4% at a carbonation temperature of 90°C. Conversely, the smallest yield of aragonite crystal polymorph was observed with batik shells at 26.0%.

Abstract

Laundry wastewater poses thousand risk for the environment and microbes due to its detergent content that remain the same from washing process using detergent and any other substance. These detergents can trigger various issues such as eutrophication in rivers and health problems caused by their chemical components. Therefore, further treatment is necessary to ensure the wastewater meets quality standards and is safe for discharge into the environment. Fly ash, which contains a high concentration of aluminum, can be utilized through a synthesis process to produce alum. This alum is then applied in coagulation–flocculation processes to reduce pollutants in laundry wastewater, such as BOD, COD, and TSS. This study aims to determine the optimal dosage and contact time of fly ash alum in treating wastewater to meet quality standards, using dosage variations of 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 mL and flocculation times of 45, 55, 65, 75, and 85 minutes. The results of the treatment using fly ash alum are then compared with those using commercial alum to identify the most effective treatment. Consequently, the synthesis and treatment process not only contribute to wastewater management but also offer an alternative solution for coagulant and flocculant materials.

Abstract

The brine solution remaining after salt crystallization contains high levels of valuable minerals, particularly magnesium, which can be extracted and processed into magnesium chloride (MgCl₂), a compound widely used in various industrial applications. This study examines the effect of hydrochloric acid (HCl) concentration and calcination temperature on the yield of MgCl₂ synthesized from brine-derived magnesium hydroxide. Magnesium hydroxide was precipitated using sodium hydroxide and subsequently reacted with HCl solutions of varying concentrations (1N–5N) before being calcined at temperatures ranging from 350°C to 550°C. The results show that both HCl concentration and calcination temperature significantly influence the product yield. The highest yield, 80.07%, was obtained at an HCl concentration of 4N and a calcination temperature of 550°C. While increasing acid concentration and temperature generally improved yield, concentrations above 4N did not provide further benefits and instead tended to decrease efficiency. These findings highlight key processing parameters for optimizing MgCl₂ production from brine, contributing to more efficient resource utilization and environmentally sustainable mineral processing practices.

Abstract

This research aimed to synthesise sustainable silica–carbon composites derived from coconut coir and dicalite diatomite using an ion-exchange-assisted sol–gel method and to evaluate the effects of gel-forming pH and carbonisation temperature on the resulting composite characteristics. The investigated parameters included gel formation pH 5 and carbonization temperature (400–800 °C). FTIR, XRD, and SEM–EDX analyses were applied to determine functional groups, phase structure, elemental composition, and surface morphology. The results revealed that the composite synthesised at pH 5 and carbonised at 800 °C exhibited the optimal structural properties. This condition produced a homogeneous morphology, balanced silica–carbon integration, reduced sodium residue, and a stable amorphous phase without crystalline formation. Higher carbonization temperatures enhanced siloxane network condensation and improved interfacial bonding between silica and carbon phases. The synthesis guidelines for silica-carbon composite fabrication should therefore emphasise controlled acidic gel formation and high-temperature carbonisation to produce structurally stable, well-integrated materials suitable for adsorption and environmental applications.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mensintesis dan mengkarakterisasi hidroksiapatit dari limbah cangkang kepiting menggunakan metode sol-gel serta mengetahui pengaruh pH dan suhu sintering terhadap hasil yang diperoleh. Cangkang kepiting dimanfaatkan sebagai sumber kalsium karena memiliki kandungan CaCO₃ yang tinggi dan berpotensi sebagai bahan baku ramah lingkungan. Variasi pH 7–11 dan suhu sintering 400–800°C digunakan dalam proses sintesis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa yield hidroksiapatit berada pada rentang 51–65%. Analisis XRF menunjukkan kondisi terbaik pada pH 7 dan suhu sintering 800°C dengan rasio Ca/P sebesar 2,67, dimana nilai tersebut masih lebih tinggi dari standar 1,67 yang diduga disebabkan oleh tingginya kandungan kalsium dan adanya ion Mg²⁺. Analisis XRD menunjukkan bahwa hidroksiapatit telah terbentuk namun belum sepenuhnya murni karena masih terdapat fase sekunder berupa Calcium Magnesium Hydrogen Phosphate, meskipun beberapa puncak difraksi telah sesuai dengan pola standar hidroksiapatit. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa limbah cangkang kepiting berpotensi sebagai bahan baku hidroksiapatit dengan pengendalian kondisi proses yang tepat.

Abstract

Industri gas asetilen menghasilkan limbah padat berupa kalsium hidroksida (Ca(OH)₂) yang termasuk dalam kategori limbah B3 (Bahan Berbahaya dan Beracun). Tingginya kandungan kalsium pada limbah ini dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai sumber kalsium alternatif dalam sintesis kalsium oksida (CaO) yang bernilai tambah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh variasi pH dan suhu sintering terhadap karakteristik CaO dari limbah Ca(OH)₂ produksi gas asetilen. Proses sintesis dilakukan melalui metode presipitasi dengan pengkondisian pH 10, 11, 12, 13, dan 14, dilanjutkan dengan proses sintering pada suhu 550 °C, 650 °C, 750 °C, 850 °C, dan 950 °C. Karakterisasi meliputi analisis yield, penentuan kadar kalsium menggunakan spektrofotometer serapan atom (SSA), serta pengamatan morfologi menggunakan Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan pH berpengaruh terhadap kenaikan yield CaO, sedangkan peningkatan suhu sintering meningkatkan kadar kalsium akibat dekomposisi Ca(OH)₂ yang lebih optimal. Kondisi terbaik diperoleh pada pH 14 dan suhu 950 °C dengan kadar kalsium 69,22%. Ukuran partikel CaO yang terbentuk adalah 140,5 nm, yang masih berada di atas rentang standar nanopartikel (1–100 nm) berdasarkan ISO 80004-1:2023. Temuan ini menunjukkan limbah Ca(OH)₂ produksi gas asetilen berpotensi dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku CaO, meskipun diperlukan optimasi lebih lanjut untuk menghasilkan material berskala nano.

Abstract

Limbah tulang sapi merupakan sumber kalsium fosfat yang melimpah, namun pemanfaatannya di sektor pertanian masih terbatas. Pengolahan tulang sapi menjadi pupuk multinutrien berbasis Ca-N-P-K dapat menjadi solusi berkelanjutan untuk mengurangi limbah organik, meningkatkan nilai tambah, menyediakan sumber hara makro yang ramah lingkungan, serta mendukung ketahanan pangan nasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mensintesis dan mengarakterisasi pupuk berbasis tulang sapi terkalsinasi melalui metode pelarutan dan presipitasi dengan variasi pH (7-11) dan kecepatan pengadukan (300–400 rpm) serta mengevaluasi keterkaitannya terhadap sifat material dan kinerja awal sebagai pupuk. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun pH 9 menghasilkan kristalinitas dan morfologi partikel yang lebih baik, kondisi optimum ditetapkan pada pH 7 pada rpm 350 karena memberikan yield tertinggi serta distribusi fase dan kandungan CaO–P2O5 yang lebih sesuai untuk aplikasi pupuk multinutrien. Analisis X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) mengonfirmasi kandungan CaO 26,95%, P2O5 32,99%, dan K2O 1,87%, dengan pembentukan fase CaKPO4 sebesar 39,51%. Karakterisasi X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) menunjukkan keberadaan fase utama CaKPO4 39,51%, CaHPO4·2H2O 39,11%, dan CaNH4PO4·7H2O 21,38%, dengan derajat kristalinitas 72,48%. Tingkat kristalinitas ini berperan dalam mengontrol stabilitas struktur dan laju pelepasan nutrisi sehingga memengaruhi ketersediaan hara dalam tanaman. Analisis SEM-EDX menunjukkan morfologi partikel halus berukuran rata-rata 300,99 nm dengan distribusi unsur Ca, P, N, dan K yang merata, yang berpotensi meningkatkan luas permukaan dan efisiensi pelepasan nutrisi. Uji aplikasi awal pada tanaman tomat skala laboratorium menunjukkan peningkatan pertumbuhan dibandingkan dengan kontrol. Hasil ini menegaskan bahwa limbah tulang sapi berpotensi dikembangkan menjadi pupuk multinutrien berbasis fosfat untuk aplikasi agrikultur yang berkelanjutan.
