Abstract

The palm oil processing industry in Indonesia has experienced significant growth,bringing both positive economic impacts and negative consequences, specificallythe generation of spent bleaching earth (SBE), a waste product of bleaching earth.Despite its potential as a substitute material for cement due to its pozzolanicproperties, challenges arise from SBE's oil content. Hence, this study introducespre-treatment methods involving extraction and calcination to optimize the use ofSBE, referred to as Pre-treated Spent Bleaching Earth (PSBE). This research aimsto analyze the optimized PSBE material through the optimization of the pretreatment process in the usage of mortar. The optimized PSBE is compared toanother supplementary cementitious material, which is fly ash to see theperformance of optimized PSBE as supplementary cementitious material. Theperformance of the mortar was evaluated through tests including slump test,compressive strength test, and mortar hydration temperature analysis. The pretreatment process of SBE was optimized by combining extraction and calcinationmethods, which yielded the most effective results from oil content test. One of theperformance analysis results showed that the compressive strength test revealed a28-day compressive strength value of 50,22 MPa for the optimized PSBE mortar,while the fly ash mortar had a compressive strength of 37,36 MPa. In conclusion,the optimized PSBE shows promising potential as a supplementary cementitiousmaterial.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of investigation to assess the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete made with fly ash as a base material. Previous study showed that the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete were dependent on pozzolanic materials used and the concentration of activator solution in the mixture. The effort to use Sidoarjo Mud and trass as an additive material in the mixture was investigated in this study to analyze the mechanical properties of the concrete. NaOH solution mixed with Na2SiO3 was used as the activator solution which varied from 8 M to 14 M. Ratio of Na2SiO3 to NaOH solution by mass were also varied from 0.5 to 2.5 Trass and Sidoarjo Mud were introduced as the filler and mixed with fly ash to replace the volume of fly ash. Compressive strength test of cylindrical specimens at 28 days, split strength test and porosity test were carried out comprehensively to compare the specimens from each composition. The results showed that the best concrete will be produced when denser NaOH solution was used. Ratio of Na2SiO3 to NaOH in the solution also plays an important role to improve the mechanical properties of concrete. The result of this study also shows that Sidoarjo Mud is a prospective material for making geopolymer concrete.
