Optimasi Waktu Dan Massa Ca(Oh)2 Pada Proses Recovery Naoh Dari Na2co3 Produk Samping Produksi Silika Dari Fly Ash Sawit
ABSTRACT
Sodium hydroxide is one of the basic chemicals that has an important role in the
production process such as silica. NaOH is used as a solvent to dissolve the silica
present in the palm fly ash. NaOH recovery is an alternative to reduce production
costs. This study aims to determine the NaOH recovery process in the
manufacture of silica from palm fly ash. NaOH is recovered using the
caustification method by reacting the by-product Na2CO3 with Ca(OH)2. The
variables studied were 40 minutes (lowest) and 100 minutes (highest); and the
mass of Ca(OH)2 is 30 gr (lowest) and 50 gr (highest). The fixed variables used
were Na2CO3 0.5 L; stirring speed of 500 rpm and temperature of 85oC. The
caustic solution was analyzed by titration to determine % NaOH and % Na2CO3.
RSM-CCD was used to determine the optimum conditions for the NaOH recovery
process. The results showed that the optimum operating conditions were 90.2
minute and the mass of Ca(OH)2 was 54.14 gr.
