Abstract

Selectivity of zeolite-lampung (ZKK) towards some matrices cations generated from uranium fission products has been investigated using some typical fission product-non-radioactive cations by cation exchange batch-system process. The previous investigation showed that zeolite-lampung is effectively able to absorb cesium ion from radioactive waste, consequently the presence of others cations i.e. generated cations from the uranium fission products are assumed as the competitive cations which may affect the zeolite selectivity on to Cs exchanges, on the otherhand the Cs-exchange capacity of zeolite would decrease. The main matrices cations which present in the natural zeolite are K+, Na+ and Ca2+and those are generated from fission products such as Cs+, Ba2+, Sr2+ and Ce4+ exist in the nuclear spent fuel solution. The ion exchanges of counterpart cations in zeolites with that each of Cs+, Ba2+, Sr2+ and Ce4+ ion or/and its mixtures have been examined. The selectivity of zeolite onto mentioned exchanged cations has been shown by the correlation of fraction of the cations concentration in the zeolite (Az) towards that in equilibrated solution (As). The results show that the raw zeolite Lampung selectivity is decrease in order to Cs+> Ba2+= Sr2+ > Ce4+. The exchanged capacity of zeolite into Cs+ ion is decreased by the presence of combining ions of Ba2+, Sr2+ and Ce4+, and so are those competitive cations.

Abstract

Investigation has been done for chilli (keriting and hot beauty type) preservation using natural silicate (zeolite). Zeolite from Cikancra (mordenite and clinoptilolite type is prepared in various particle sizes and activated at different temperatures. The activated zeolite is tested for its ability to absorb water. It is found that zeolite with particle size of -100 +140 mesh and activated at 400ºC has the highest capability for water absorption. This zeolite is then used in the preservation tests. Zeolite can extend the preservation of chillies up to 18 days for 'hot beauty' type and 23 days for 'keriting' type. Vitamin C plus (Vit.C + organics) content of chillies after preservation is also increased to 378.29 mg/100g (keriting) and 606.87 mg/100g for hot beauty. During preservation period, pH of hot beauty chilli is constant while pH of keriting chilli is decreased from 5.66 to 5.39. Carbohydrate content is increased for keriting chilli from 2.18% to 2.33% but it is decreased for hot beauty chilli from 2.77% to 2.01%. Total soluble solid (TSS) content of both chillies is decreased to below 0.95%. Water content of fresh chillies, for keriting type is 79.73% and for hot beauty type is 88.40%. Unexpectedly, fungi's are formed in small parts of chillies during preservation. However, in general, the preservation tests in closed system have produced fresh chillies with high nutrition content.

Abstract

Bad sanitation environment on student neighborhood area causes the decreasing of ground water quality, whereas the ground water is the main water source of that area. Physical, chemical, and biological parameters showed that the ground water which consumed are contaminated by organic matters from safety tank, ground particles and heavy metal (Fe and Mn). Fe and Mn rates on the well water are 0,0066-0,1657 mg/l dan 0,035-0,072 mg/l. While Fe and Mn ratea on waste water are 0,2193-0,7102 mg/l dan 1,90-4,70 mg/l. Dissolve solid suspention rate on the ground water and domestic waste water are 0,0066-0,1657 mg/l dan 0,035-0,072 mg/l respectively. Chemically, it was below the permitted limit 0,3 mg/l and 0,1 mg/l, but physically the ground water looks coloured, tested and smell. These may be caused by littering and too crowded neighborhood and organic matter intrusion to the well. One of the alternative to decrease the metal rate and dissolve solid suspention on water ground is using zeolite. Ground water analysis showed that zeolite can decreases the Fe and Mn rates from 0,92 ppm to 0,07 ppm and from 0,34 ppm to 0,048 ppm (around 85-90 %).

Abstract

Nowadays, Indonesia suffer a serious economic crisis. The situation is mainly caused by national industrial development strategy which is depend on import materials, e.g. in agriculture . In the cases, the national need are depend on import fertilizer, so that makes the national food stock become decreasing. This research is designed to offer another alternative in preparing and producing own fertilizer that we need, to solve the problem. New compotition of Animal manure has been made by addition of natural zeolite to gain a high nitrogen content. Characterisation analysis of materials included chemical composition of natural zeolite and manure fertilizer using AAS and Kyedhal analysis, structure analysis by XRD and SEM and CEC. The result of experiments showed that addition of natural zeolite to excrement (animal waste) increased the content of nitrogen and decreased the content of water in manure fertilizer. Ammonia absorption by natural zeolite with particle size of either "“8+14 or 14+20 mesh was almost similar. The nitrogen content of manure fertilizer which mixed with natural zeolite from kedung Banteng , Malang was bigger than that which mixed with natural zeolite from Cikancra, Tasikmalaya. The adsorbtion of water by natural zeolite of both particle sizes was also similar. Manure fertilizer which mixed with natural zeolite from Kedung Banteng was dryer than that which mixed with natural zeolite from Cikancra, Tasikmalaya. The improved animal manure has better properties like a high nitrogen content, dry and not malodorous.

Abstract

Zeolite generally have a very high exchange ion capacity and capability to catch ions. Therefore, zeolite is used on agriculture to reduce ion movement around the root zone and to increase the use of fertilizer by plant. A research have been established on 1999/2000 using zeolite from two sites that represent two type of soil, Planosol soil from Jakenan (Pati) and Podsolic soil from Tamanbogo (Lampung).Group randomize design with three repetition is used on this research. Fertilizer treatment on this research are 60-100 % P or K and 0-40% zeolite, 100% P or K + 200- 300% kg/ha zeolite. The final result of this research showed that in order to produce high quality of paddy on podsolic soil need the P fertilizer. The zeolite been given along with P fertilizer worth while to increases efficiency, even though it did not positively increasing yield. Adding 300 kg/ha zeolite can reduce the use of fertilizer around 20% P. The Same thing happened to fertilizer K on planosol. Zeolite plus which enriched by a number of minerals giving a better result compare to the one without enrichment. On greenhouse atmosphere, though dosage of zeolite plus (5-10 t/ha) used to increase exchange ion capacity on soil, producing rice around 11.9 t/ha. But on the field, the production decreases cause by heavier disease attack due to the too crowded plantation and too damp condition around the canopy. This is why it is necessary to give the right zeolite plus dosage, not just to increases efficiency, but also to make it financially reachable by the farmer.

Abstract

Hydroponic is a method to growing up plant on non soil plant growth media (PGM) such as water, sand, gravel, carbon etc which mixes with other materials needed to grow the plants. The weaknesses of PGM are the low buffering capacity on electrical conductivity which can disturb the absorbtion of nutrients by plants. This can be caused by the low cation exchange capacity rate on the holding capacity of the media on nutrients. PGM such as zeoponic is made from zeolite and other materials like compost, peat moss, vermiculite, fertilizer, etc. The superiority of zeolite namely high cation exchange capacity and fertilizing efficiency rate, suitable for seed germination media and horticulture plant growth media, stable and more attractive performance. With these superiority, zeoponic became an alternative PGM which potential to increase horticulture plant production and to accommodate germination, both plantation and forestry. More over zeoponic made hydroponic became much easier to be done.

Abstract

Coal fly ash was treated with alkali (NaOH) water solution by heating up to about 100 oC for 12 and 24 hours. The coal fly ash used in this experiment was obtained from PLTU (Steam Power Electric Station) Suralaya, West Java, Indonesia. It was passed through a wire sieve with filter size of 46 mm. The NaOH solutions were reacted 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 M. The final products of the reactions were designated as 'artificial zeolites'. Result of this experiment indicated that the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of 'artificial zeolites' were increased by increasing NaOH concentration up to 2,5 M. Higher CEC value of the 24 hours treated coal fly ash than that of the 12 hour treated ones. The CEC of 'artificial zeolites' increased by about 50 time for the coal fly ash. The XRD (X-ray Diffraction) pattern of the coal fly ash treated by 2,5 M NaOH which had highest CEC value were present new crystalline matters (possibility phillipsite) with sharp diffraction peaks at 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 5.1, 7.1 Ã…. The infrared (IR) spectrum of the 'artificial zeolite' exhibited the broad absorption band around 1,000 cm-1 and at about 3,500 cm-1. The analyzed 'artificial zeolite' showed steep descent around 100 oC in TG (Thermogravity), a small endothermic peak below 100 oC and a deep endothermic peak from 130 oC in DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis), representing presence of micropore structure of new zeolite species (probability phillipsite). The scanning electron micrograph of the 'artificial zeolite' showed spherical structure with chinks formed in the 2,5 M NaOH treatment.

Abstract

The natural zeolite was treated with alkali (NaOH) solution and heating at 100 oC for 12 and 24 hours. The natural zeolite was collected from Gunungkidul, Jogjakarta, Indonesia. The series of NaOH solutions was 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 M. The final product of the reaction (precipitate) was designated as 'activated natural zeolite (ANZ)'. The cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the ANZ increased with increasing NaOH concentration up to 1.5-3.5 M. Treatment with NaOH 3.5 M and 12 hours in period of hydrothermal reaction resulted in a maximum CEC (395.6 cmol.kg-1). The maximum CEC also observed for treatment with NaOH 1,5 M, but consumed a longer time (24 hours). The increase in the CEC of the ANZ about 300 % higher than the original one. The XRD (X-ray Diffraction) peaks of the ANZ appear at 2.7, 3.2, 4.1, 5.1, 7.2 Ã…, this indicated a new crystalline matters (possibility phillipsite) present. Electron micrograph showed that the ANZ has a large cubic/prismatic structure with a perfect form.
