Penggunaan Adsorben TiO₂ Terpilarisasi dalam Zeolit dengan Metode Sentrifugal untuk Mereduksi CO dan Partikel dalam Emisi Gas Buang Kendaraan Bermotor 4 Tak

Abstract

Zeolit has characteristic such is as adsorber or liquid adsorber since zeolit has sponge structure. Usually the cavity consists of water and kation that can be exchanged and has certain pore size. Zeolit can function as adsorber if the independent molecule (water) in the vacuum zeolit crystal is released by heating. With the adsorpsion of TiO₂ in the zeolit therefore the adsorption energy is bigger compared to zeolit without TiO₂. Adsorber with centrifugal planned for the emission of the Carbon Monoxide (CO) in the adsorber stay longer; therefore the contact period takes longer. While the emission of the Particle is for spin and blow out the particle that can be spanned and blow out. The result of the research is that the glucose is the best adhesive material in bounding TiO₂ pillar in the zeolit compared to the others material such as cement, starch, and gelatin. The choice of glucose as the adhesive material is based on the visualization test. From the result of the Carbon Monoxide test using Non Dispersive Infra Red (NDIR) analysis method with "auto check" CO analyzer device and Particle test using gravimeter analysis method with High Volume Sampler (HVS), It is found out that the effective adsorber takes place in the activate temperature 300°C with TiO₂ concentration 10%. In the 300°C adsorber can reduce CObeyond 50.69% up to 59.31% while for adsorber Particle it can reduce Particle up to 64.07%. the establishment of Ti02 concentration is 10%; it due to in this concentration that the medium structures energy is powerful compared to TiO₂ concentration 5% and 15%.
