Abstract

In this investigation, sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) was produced by reacting the CO2 released from coconut shell combustion with NaOH solution with molar concentrations of 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, and 8.0 M. The main purpose of the study was to assess the potential of the proposed method for mitigation of the CO2 gas released into the atmosphere by the coconut shell industry. The Na2CO3 powder produced was oven-dried at 110 oC and subsequently characterized using FTIR, XRD, and SEM/EDS techniques. Thermal analysis was also carried out using DTA/TGA to investigate the thermal mechanisms of sodium carbonate formation. The experimental results show that the concentration of NaOH influences the mass of sodium carbonate produced, with the highest mass of 190.6 g obtained using 7.0 M NaOH solution. The FTIR analyses show the existence of O-H, C-O, C=O, and CO3 -2, confirming the formation of Na2CO3. The C-S functional group was also detected most likely due to the presence of the sulfur that naturally exists in the coconut shell. The formation of Na2CO3 is also supported by the presence of C, Na, and O on the EDS results and the presence of the thermonatrite (Na2CO3.H2O) phase, as seen by the XRD. The XRD analysis of the sintered sample at 450 oC indicates the transformation of thermonatrite into sodium carbonate and sodium oxide, which is in accordance with the results of DTA/TGA analysis. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that the proposed method can be applied to mitigation of CO2 gas released by the coconut shell industry.

Abstract

This research presents the use of the Rietveld method to study the phase composition of cordierite (MG2AL4SI5O18) ceramics prepared from rice husk silica, after the samples were sintered at 1300, 1400 and 1500 °C. The formation of cordierite is temperature-dependent as indicated by the relative phase composition obtained from x-ray diffraction patterns for the cordierite and spinel increased markedly with increasing temperature, i.e, from 38.98 to 54.15 wt% and from 11.81 to 17.99 wt % following the increase in temperature from 1300-1500 °C, respectively. The above values were obtained with the aid of the Rietveld method, carried out until the goodness of fit values (GoF) reached below 2, which is considered a satisfactory value to reveal the real phase composition. Different plots produced by refinement using the Rietveld method also reveal a reasonable fit between the observed and the calculated plot, demonstrating the usefulness of the method for calculating the quantity of phase composition in the sintering process
