Abstract

Anode slime is a byproduct collected from electro refining copper process. The valuable metals present in the slime are Au, Ag, Pt, Pd and Pb. Yet, the slime has not been processed in Indonesia but sent to another country. Extracting the gold from anode slime had been attempted in the laboratory by applying wet chlorination method. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) served as the oxidizing agents. Effects of various parameters such as solvent concentration, leaching time and temperature on the percent extraction of gold were studied. The optimum recovery of gold with NaOCl is 98.86 % Au at leaching temperature of 40°C, solvent concentration 5 M, NaOCl 5 mL and 20% solid after 120 minutes leaching time. Silver loss under this condition is 2–3%. Leaching the gold by H2O2 provided the highest gold extraction of 99.99% Au at 7M HCl concentration, temperature 60°C, H2O2 0.5 M, leaching time 180 minutes, and 20% solid. The silver loss under this condition is only 0.6%.

Abstract

Commercial biodiesel production nowadays still uses sodium hydroxide solution as homogenous catalyst. This catalyst has some weaknesses, which cannot be reused and difficult on its separation from the product (methyl esther). Therefore, alternative catalyst is necessary to be sought to solve the problem and solid catalyst from clay has a possibility to be applied. Montmorilonite clay is widespread mineral in Indonesia and its layer structure is potential to be used as solid catalyst. The alteration processes consist of upgrading montmorillonite content followed by activation and esterification to review its performance. Previous activa- tion was carried out using aqueous sulphuric acid of 0.05; 0.5; 5 and 10 M and settled in each solution for two weeks. To obtain shorten activation time, modified method has been done with similar acid strength range but using preheating 60°C for 6 hours and settled within a week. Clay’s performance was observed by esterification reaction using Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) of fried oil production waste as raw material. Its initial and final acid number were then reviewed. The conversion of PFAD to esther was measured from deviation of initial of final acid number. Previous method’s result of 2 weeks settlement showed maximum conversion of 91.6% at 5M acid strength of activation, while modified method reached maximum conversion only 67.63% at similar acid strength of activation. Both results were not yet resemble the 5M sulphuric acid solution as homogenous catalyst which is able to convert PFAD to esther as much as 98.73%. However, the method of 2 weeks settlement could be developed further to gain the optimum conversion.
