Abstract

Characterization of the pillarization process product of ZrO2-montmorillonite from Zirconium oxychloride local made of PSTA-BATAN has been done. The objective of this research is to control the quality of pillarization process product of the new material ZrO2-montmorilonite.  This new material was produced from local made Zirconium oxychloride (ZOC) of PSTA-BATAN by dry process and bentonite (Na-montmorillonite) imported from Thailand by the pillarization process. During optimization the pillarization quality control would be followed by absorbance using Diffuse Reflectance Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis DRS) spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). While the type of functional group can be detected by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometry, and the surface image was observed by using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and BET methods. The result gained showed that the optimum quality of ZrO2-montmorillonite was at Zr concentration of 0.2 M with the absorbance of 1.04 au by XRD and DRS. The best precursor used was ethylene glycol with a drying process in the cold conditions at the absorbance of 1.2 au. The best calcination process was at the temperature of 600 °C with the reached absorbance value of 1.3 au. The results of TEM image observation after calcination at the temperature of 600 °C were clearer and more porous than before and showed specific surface area of 105 m2/g. The interpretation results of FTIR spectra on the new material of ZrO2-montmorillonite contained the cluster of ΞSi-OH, ΞAl-OH and Si-O functional groups indicating pillar groups.

Abstract

The design of chemical reactor can not be separated from the optimization data and reaction kinetics obtained from the experimental measurement. Through the idea of making the dissolution reactor design, the purpose of this research is to obtain optimization data and dissolution kinetics of Zirconium Oxide Chloride (ZOC) using HNO3. The design of the solvent reactor is required to make the feedstock in the liquid-liquid extraction process continuously. The extraction process is a mini-pilot plant unit as a nuclear-grade zirconia manufacture. The dissolution optimization was carried out by dissolving ZOC solids of zircon sand processed products using HNO3 in a container with some variation of contact time, HNO3 concentration and temperature. While the kinetics data was gained by extracting from the optimization data obtained based on the formula of reaction orders. The investigation result with 6 gr of ZOC and 6M HNO3 concentration obtained the best contact optimum time of 2 minutes and the conversion number (α) of 0.96. The dissolution reaction mechanism was estimated in accordance with the reaction of order 1 with the  k value of 1.5879 minutes-1. It was predicted that the reaction mechanism of ZOC dissolution in HNO3 begins with diffuse control and is followed by chemical reaction control. With increasing conversion temperature, the conversion will increase to 0.98, while the reaction also follows the reaction order 1. The optimum temperature at 60 °C, and the correlation between temperature (T) with the calculated reaction rate constant (k) according to the Arrhenius formula yielded an equation of ln k = - 4191,6 / T + 13,903 or k = 13,903.e- 4191,6 / T, with the frequency factor A = 1091430 and the activation energy E = 34,848 kJ / mole.
