One of the most important elements in fertilizers is potassium that can be devided from felsdpar and leucite minerals. Both are composed of various minerals and need to be separated from its impurities to get the desired minerals. In this research, test of mineral activation was performed using two different methods, namely mechanical activation (milling) and activation that used high temperature (roasting). The results were followed by potassium extraction process through leaching using sulfuric acid 6 N, 20% solids for 2 hours without heating. The best result was obtained from a 60-hour mechanically, activated leucite in leaching condition and conducted without heating. To evaluate potassium dissolution with soil when applied as fertilizer, the test of solubility in citric acid-the analogy of acid humus within soil-was conducted. The product with the best solubility was obtained from a 60-hour milling process. The results show that leucite, activated by milling process, was more easily extracted its potassium. However, further research is still needed to optimize the leachability of potassium extraction.

A LITERATURE STUDY OF BENEFITING K-BEARING SILICATE ROCKS AS RAW MATERIALS FOR POTASSIUM FERTILIZER Agus Wahyudi; Tatang Wahyudi

As an agricultural country Indonesia requires NPK fertilizer up to 2.6 million tons per year. However, such a number is mostly fulfilled by imports, particularly potassium (K) fertilizer. Almost a 100% of K-fertilizer comes from Canada and Russia in the form of KCl (sylvite) salt. Indonesia does not have sylvite mineral, but retains some K-bearing minerals such as K-feldspar and leucite. Both are different in characteristics from sylvite. K-feldspar and leucite are the alumino-silicate minerals. They require special treatment to process them into K-fertilizer. Several techniques can be applied to process both minerals, such as by mechano-chemistry, leaching, alkali fusion and bioleaching. Research on the utilization of K-source minerals as a raw material for K fertilizer is rela- tively rare. The opportunity to conduct such a research is widely open, as currently conducted by the Research and Development Centre for Mineral and Coal Technology.
