Abstract

Nowadays, ceramics world has been developing into what the interior, building exterior, industries and household. The quality and its ability made by certain specification which compatible with the structure, design and the function. For example, the building structure that usually has high humidity whether indoor or outdoor will need certain ceramics for the floor to keep on dry condition, unslippery, clean while fungus will not live. For that purpose stone ceramics that made by natural zeolite will has same characters as natural zeolite function such us absorb/release water reversibly, absorb smelt or volatile compound, molecular filter. The making of zeolite ceramic was done at certain burning temperature where natural structure of zeolite will not be destructed or collaps and forming amorphous compound. So the natural zeolite function will preserve. The development of composite is made from natural zeolite as the main ingredients which clay, kaolin, and feldspar are used as binders. In order to decrease burning temperature, natrium compound added into the composite and the experiment done at temperature 800-1000 oC with composite pressure between 50-100 kg/cm. the result of experiment indicate that on burning temperature 800oC whether with using SEM or XRD analysis, zeolite is in mordenite crystal form. Whereas at burning temperature 1000oC, the crystal structure of zeolite has been destructed and forming albit and calcian as new compound. The zeolite ceramics which formed at 800 oC, with pressure at 50 kg/cm has strong and compact characters with absorption ability up to 23%.

Abstract

Nowdays, mining and energy are still as important sectors for contributing state economics. However, mining activitis usually make environmental problems because most of mining use open pit mining technique that causing the change for the landscape comprising topography, cover vegetation, hydrology pattern, and distruction of soils. In the consequence, the ecosystem of mining area and its surrounding will disturb. The disturbances will more clear if the overburden containing unstable minerals in oxidize condition (such as pyrite and chalcopyrite) release acid mine drained that disturbing biota growth. Zeolite is aluminosilicate mineral group having unique structure, high cation exchange capacity, porous, and adsorp of ammonium ion and water. With those properties, zeolite can be used as (a) absorp of undesirable elements or compounds such as heavy metals, (b) carrier of nutrients such as ammonium ions, and (c) increasing buffer capasity of soils. This paper will dicuss the prospect of zeolite as material for remediation of abandoned mine land.

Abstract

Seawater contains large amounts of cations. Since this resource is abundant and cheap, it can be a laudable source of plant nutrients. The objective of this study was to investigate the extent to which zeolite could sorb and desorb nutrients in different concentrations of seawater. Results indicated that Zeolite sorbed Na and Mg. The highest percentage of Na and Mg sorbed was 76.19 and 36.69%, respectively obtained for 10% seawater. The desorption study indicated that the higher the seawater concentration used during the sorption, the higher the Na and Mg desorbed. Passing diluted seawater through zeolite leached out K and Ca to the extent that the effluent was concentrated with the cations. This by-product solution can be used as a source of plant nutrients. However, high concentration of such cations in the solution caused high pH and EC, which means that the solution has to be diluted to meet the requirements of plants.

Abstract

Ultisols is soil which predominate area in Lampung Province. This soil is rather acid until acid reaction, low in cation exchange capacity (CEC) and organic materials content so that cause inefficient of fertilization. Zeolite is a available and potential mining products and it is abundant available in Lampung Province. It can also to improve CEC of soil so that the absorption of soil to fertilizer can be increased. Besides, it has a high negative charges, so that it can also absorbed of nutrients and discharged it slowly. A liquid waste of MSG is an agroindustrial waste which enough potential. The waste contains the high enough organic materials and compound, especially nitrogen. Low of organic materials at Ultisols, caused needed an input to this management, for example combination usage of zeolite and liquid waste MSG. Nilam is plantation crop which have a good enough prospect, and have potency as state resource of stock-exchange and also can open the new employment. This research arranged in garden of Lampung State Polytechnic, Hajimena district, with Ultisols, it's started from July until January 2006. The research was conducted on factorial method with randomized block design, consist of 2 factors, zeolite application Z0 (0;1,5; 3,0; 4,5 ton/ha), and liqud waste of MSG (0; 2000; 4000, 6000 l/ha). The data were analysed and then, if the F-test is significantly different we continued with mean of BNT test. Using zeolite at 1,5 ton/ha level increased the plant fresh weight and at 3,0 ton/ha level improved the plant dry weight. Using liquid waste of MSG at of 6000 l/ha level, the highest result of fresh weight and dry weight of plant. Interaction of zeolite and liquid waste of MSG at combination of 4,5 ton/ha and 2000 l/ha showed the highest result on fresh weight and dry weight of root. The combination of 3,0 ton/ha and 6000 l/ha of zeolite and liquid waste of MSG showed the highest result on the ratio of root weight.

Abstract

The intrusion of seawater in the beach area of Bandar Lampung and the Eastern beach of Lampung causes many problems for people because it turns the water into a brackish water. The brackish water is the water whose salinity is between 0.5 ppt until 17 ppt. The brackish water cannot be used for drinking, cooking or washing because the maximum degree of salinity for such purposes is 0.5 ppt. Desalination of brackish water is a process of reducing the salinity of a brackish water. In this research, natural zeolite from Lampung was modified with surfactant to become surfactant-modified zeolite (SMZ). It was used as ion exchanger in the desalination of a brackish water. The result showed the salinity of the brackish water could be reduced to 52% from the initial value. The best results were obtained at the contact time of 4 hours and the initial salinity 0.863 ppt.

Abstract

This research was conducted 6 weeks to study the effect of zeolit in ration on feed consumption, average daily gain (growth rate), and dressing percentage of male local rabbits. Twenty four rabbit were used in this research designed by randomized completely block design. The treatment of research were level of zeolit on ration that was 0.0; 2.5; 5.0; 7.5 % of dry matter. This research indicated that zeolit didn't affect (P>0.05) on feed consumption, average daily gain, and dressing percentage. The average of feed consumption was highest (87,15 ± 4,52 gram ) on rabbits that got ration with 2.5 % zeolit. The average daily gain was highest (17,14 ± 0,82 gram) on rabbits that got ration without zeolit. The average of dressing percentage was highest (48,58 ± 3,56 %) on rabbit that got ration with 2,5 % zeolite. It could be concluded that zeolit on ration didn't affect on feed consumption, average daily gain (growth rate), and dressing percentage of male local rabbits.
