Fly ash-bottom ash of coal is a solid waste in many industries and electric
power plants. One method to reduce that solid waste is by using it to produce
artificial zeolite. The Filicium decipiens charcoal was added into artificial
zeolite to increase its performance to adsorb water pollutants. The pumice
stone is also used in this work as a source of silica. The manufacture of
artificial zeolite was carried out by the hydrothermal method by optimizing
the composition of sodium silicate from Lampung pumice silica, sodium
aluminate from aluminum scrap, and charcoal of Filicium decipiens. From
the characterization of the LCR meter, the optimum artificial zeolite obtains
the conductivity value from 9.14×10-6 (S/cm) to 6.09×10-6 (S/cm), confirming
that artificial zeolite is a semiconductor material. The highest conductivity
of artificial zeolite will increase its performance as a catalyst and absorbent.
The composition of the artificial zeolite after XRF characterization was
aluminum, silica, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, titanium, vanadium,
chromium, Mangan, and ferrite. From the XRD characterization result
obtained, the dominant phase is Zeolite-A. SEM-EDX characterization
results obtained a spherical and cylindrical microstructure of artificial.
