Abstract

Several H-zeolite and HZSM-5 catalysts was preparated and their characters have also been investigated. H-zeolit Catalyst was preparated from Natural Zeolite that obtained from Malang District and Gunung Kidul District. Diethyl ether was produced by Ethanol with concentration of 95%. This research use fixed bed reactor that 1 gram of catalyst as bed catalyst, atmospheric pressure and temperature 140oC as the operating condition. Ethanol vapor from vaporization tank was driven by 200 ml/min Nitrogen stream. The responds in this research is liquid product concentration; diethyl ether, ethanol, methanol and water concentration. The results showed that the largest ethanol conversion was produced by the use of 56.44% HZSM-5 and the largest yield of diethyl ether diethyl was produced by the use of alumina and H-zeolite catalyst. The larger ratio between natural zeolite with HCl solvent will produce the larger surface area of catalyst and ethanol conversion. The largest ethanol conversion was produced at reactan ratio 1:20.

Abstract

Slow release fertilizer (SRF) of urea is prepared by using zeolite as the matrix. Mixing of urea and zeolite is carried out in orbiting screw mixer. The effects of rotation speed and orbital speed of the mixer and particle size on power consumption, homogeneity, mixing time and specific energy consumption are evaluated. The experimental results show that higher orbital speed gives higher power consumption. Power consumption is dominated by mixer rotation motion. Smaller particle size needs higher power for mixing process. Nitrogen mass fraction ranges from 0.45 to 0.49 when mixture reaches homogeneity. The mixing time required is about 5 – 12 minutes for particle size of >60 and >80 mesh and 7 – 14 minutes for particle size of >50 mesh. At constant orbit speed, the higher the screw rotation speed, the shorter time needed to reach mixture homogeneity. Specific energy consumption of mixing process increases with decreasing particle size. For the three particle size groups of >80 mesh, >60 mesh and >50 mesh, the lowest specific energy consumption is given by combination of orbital speed of 5 rpm and rotation speed of 50 rpm; while for particle size of >60 mesh and >80 mesh, it can obtained by combination of orbital speed of 5 rpm and rotation speed of 67,5 rpm and orbital speed 5 rpm and rotation speed 30 rpm, respectively. The lowest specific energy consumptions is gained by combination of orbital and rotation speeds of 5 and 50 rpm with particle size of >50 mesh.
