Abstract

Fly ash has the potential to be used as a raw material in the production of silica gel. This study aims to characterize fly ash and silica gel, determine the effect of NaOH concentration and aging time on the manufacture of silica gel, and determine the trapping power of silica gel. In this research, the production of silica gel begins with the washing of fly ash using HCl. Next, NaOH is added with varying concentrations of 1.5 N, 2.5 N, 3.5 N, and 4.5 N. The formed Na2SiO3 is then mixed with H2SO4 of 3 N concentration, with aging times of 12 hours, 15 hours, and 18 hours. The highest yield of silica gel is 49.61% at a NaOH concentration of 4.5 N and an aging time of 15 hours. The highest water vapor adsorption capacity of the silica gel is 883.00 mg/g at a NaOH concentration of 3.5 N and an aging time of 15 hours. SEM-EDX characterization results indicate a diverse morphology and size for both fly ash and silica gel. The SiO2 content in fly ash is 41.64%, while in silica gel, it is 41.42%. FTIR characterization of fly ash and silica gel reveals the presence of functional groups such as silanol (Si-O), siloxane (Si-O-Si), and hydroxyl (Si-OH) which are active sites in silica gel.

Abstract

This research studied about the effect of concentrations sulfuric acid (H2SO4) on the hydrolysis process of corn cobs waste to manufacture of cellulose nanocrystal (NCC) which will be applied as fillers in natural rubber latex. This study began with a pre-vulcanization process of natural rubber latex at a temperature of 70 oC and followed by a vulcanization process at 110 oC for 10 minutes.

Abstract

Ginger is a spice plant that is usually used as a seasoning in cooking or raw material for medicine, traditional or industrial medicine. Ginger has a high-water content so its easily contaminated with microbes and has active ingredients (gingerol) which are easily damaged by high temperatures. Ginger drying is intended for maintaining the quality of dry ginger and keep ginger from microbes. The drying process has done in continuously with solar dryer using flat plate type collector during the day and at night using the Molecular Sieve 13x desiccant. Drying varies the thickness of ginger 2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm, and the amount ratio of desiccant: 1:1; 1:2; and 1:3. To get drying characteristics, every 1-hour mass calculated using an electric scale, and data logger every 5 minutes calculates the temperature and humidity rate (RH) in the drying chamber. The result from ginger drying is the thickness of 6 mm needed more than 20 hours of drying process so that it needed the combination of dryer compared to other thickness, and from quality analysis results of dry ginger, ash content parameters already accordance with SNI standards, and 1:1 material and desiccant ratio is the variation that most closely matches the SNI standard.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the adsorption ability of black sand in the metal ions adsorb cadmium (Cd2+) with a concentration of 70 ppm to a solution with a pH of 4,5. The black sand is used is 40 mesh. This research was conducted by batch adsorption system naturally and adsorption kinetics modeling. Kinetics of adsorption reached equilibrium at time t = 120 minutes with the percentage concentration of adsorbed Cd2+ 18,5%. In the adsorption kinetics modeling correlation coefficient is almost the same between the equations of first order and second order in the amount of 0.98 and 0.99. The result indicated that the type of interaction Cd2+ ions on the surface of black sands occur in chemistry and physics. The adsorption kinetics of diffusion modeling of internal and external diffusion of the correlation coefficient of 0,85 and 0,71. From this data it can be seen that in this study is modeling kinetic internal diffusion trend that shows adsorbent particles are inter sand surface area that experienced internal inter-particle pore diffusion.

Abstract

This study aims to look at the effect of bottom ash activation with NaOH on the morphological structure and content of the elements contained in bottom ash and see the effect of activation on the absorption of phosphate compounds in water by bottom ash. Bottom ash from PT SOCIMAS coal combustion has been activated with NaOH and has been used to adsorb phosphate. Phosphate used in the form of KH3PO4. Bottom ash was first characterized by SEM-EDS to see the morphological structure and the element content contained in the bottom ash. Bottom ash mass variations used are (1, 2, and 3 grams), and particle size (50-70 mesh, 70-110 mesh, and 110-140 mesh). The activation process lasts for 5 hours using 3 M NaOH, then washed to pH 7. The bottom ash is activated then characterized again with SEM-EDS to ensure the impurities present in the bottom ash are reduced. Furthermore, bottom ash is used to adsorb phosphate with time variations of 20, 40, and 60 minutes. The most effective adsorption capacity (6.39 mg / g) is at the 20th minute with a particle size of 110-140 mesh and a bottom ash mass of 1 gram. The Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm model is used to describe the phosphate ion adsorption isotherm by the bottom ash. Based on the data obtained, the isotherm model suitable for this research is the Freudlich (R2 = 0.9721) and Langmuir (R2 = 0.9505) isotherm model.
