Abstract

Abstract:. Suralaya power plant produces fly ash about 219.000 ton per year. Fly ash contents of silica and alumina as major components that can be used as precursors for geopolymer, a three dimensional networks aluminosilicate polymers. This research aim is to utilize fly ash for geopolymer made by mixing fly ash, fine aggregate, and alkali activator in a cubic mould and curing was carried out at room temperature for 7 and 28 days. After 28 days of curing the compressive strength of geopolymer reached 41.70 MPa. XRD characterization shows Albite (NaAlSi3O8) formation which has similarity to geopolymer compound. Fourier Transform Infra Red spectra show siloxo and sialate bond. These are typical functional groups that are found in geopolymer materials.Keyword: geopolymer, fly ash, aluminosilicate, alkali activator, albite, siloxo, sialateAbstrak: Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap (PLTU) Suralaya menghasilkan fly ash (abu terbang) sekitar 219.000 ton per tahun. Fly ash memiliki silika dan alumina sebagai komponen utama yang dapat digunakan sebagai prekursor untuk geopolimer, suatu material polimer aluminosilikat tiga dimensi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memanfaatkan fly ash untuk geopolimer yang dibuat dengan mencampur fly ash, agregat halus, dan aktivator alkali dalam cetakan kubik dan pengawetan dilakukan pada suhu kamar selama 7 dan 28 hari.

Abstract

Developments in the materials engineering have encouraged the incorporation of minerals such as kaolin, zirconia, and carbonate apatite, and natural materials. Indonesia, which has a tropical climate, is overgrown with pineapple plants. Geopolymer is a brittle ceramic material so it is necessary to increase its flexural strength value for composite application. Pineapple leaf fiber can be used as reinforcement in geopolymer composites. This study aims to analyze the effect of adding pineapple leaf fiber (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) to the mechanical properties and morphological characteristics of metakaolin-zirconia-carbonate apatite-based geopolymer composites. The use of chitosan coupling agent as a binder between the matrix and filler. The research sample consisted of 4 groups with a total of 5 samples in each group. Fiber varied 0-4% in Geopolymer Composites. Geopolymer Composite samples were tested for flexural strength and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The test results showed that the addition of pineapple leaf fiber increased the flexural strength of the geopolymer composite. The composite without the addition of fiber had a flexural strength of 11.24 MPa, while the addition of 1%, 2.5%, and 4% pineapple fiber resulted in a flexural strength of 20.71 MPa, 11.57 MPa, and 11.01 MPa. The results of the SEM test show a picture of the void with varying sizes. The SEM Images of composite with the addition of 4% pineapple fiber showed the formation of Na2CO3 which explained the decrease in flexural strength compared to the sample without pineapple fiber addition.
