Abstract

As a commodity for industrial applications, bentonite is needed in a large number of tonnages. Indonesia retains about 6 hundred million tons of bentonite resources, but its quality does not yet satisfy industrial spesifi cation. Most Indonesian bentonite is calcium-bentonite type. Therefore, it is necessary to activate the material to en- hance its absorption ability for decolorizing crude palm oil in cooking oil industries. This research was aimed to obtain the optimal bleaching power in order to decolorize the crude palm oil effectively. The batch scale bentonite activation used raw material from Sarimanggu, Tasikmalaya district, West Java. Since 40 %-solid gave a better average bleaching power value than that of 20 %, the activation was then focused at seeking the best condition with regards to the activition time (hour) and reagent dosages (sulfuric acid). The batch up scale of this research refered to the use of a 100-kg bentonite as the feed. The feed size was -10 mesh. The use of sulfuric acid was2.5 to 20 % (equivalent to 0.13 to 1.02 N) for 20 % solid and 2.5 to 15 % (equivalent to 0.34 to 2.04 N) for 40 % solid. A series of activation times was 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hours. It started when sulfuric acid has been depleted. Sampling was completed for each hour when a sample was neutralized until pH = 7. The sample was dried and the rest of bentonite slurry was fl owed into a dilution tank to be neutralized using water. Condition of 1-hour activation and 7.5 %-sulfuric acid (equivalent to 1.02 N) provided the best bleaching power value (88 %).

Abstract

Most of metakaolin is used in portland cement industries as an additive to improve the compressive strength of the cement. Using Cicalengka and Bangka kaolin as metakaolin raw material, R & D Center for Mineral and Coal Technology found that Bangka kaolin was more suitable in metakaolin preparation because its initial Al2O3 content (32.80%) rises up to 37.50% after decantation, meanwhile Cicalengka one can not fulfill the requirements. The non-decanted Bangka kaolin (37.50% Al2O3) exceeds the Al2O3 content of metakaolin that has been produced commercially by Asian Ceratec Corporation. Calcination processing follows the decantation one. The decanted Bangka kaolin was then pelletized to have calcining burnt did well. The pellet was burnt in 1 x 0.5 m static laboratory furnace at some tempera- tures and holding times. Burning temperature of 9000 C and 20 minutes holding time showed common calcined kaolin characteristic; sheet-like structure, but at some parts it has developed into unregularly thicker sheet structure due to amorphous (non-reactive phase) formation. This phenomenon signs that recrystallization temperature has been achieved and many hydroxil ions has been lost.
