The transformation of kaolin to amorphous mesoporous aluminosilicate was investigated in this study. We demonstrated the use of koalin as silica and alumina sources without prior pretreatment. Two steps synthesis method were carried out; hydrothermal reaction at 80°C, followed by addition of mesoporogen cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) surfactant. We observed that prolonging the synthesis period improves the surface area of the aluminosilicate with enhances mesopore volume and surface acidity.

Zeolite is extensively synthesized for the application in a large variety of catalysis processes such as ion exchange, hydrocarbon cracking, and organic synthesis. In order to satisfy the serious terms of sustainability that denotes to the reduction of costs and chemical waste, kaolinite‐based zeolites were produced from cheap natural resources as against to the conventional process that employs pure sodium silicate and sodium aluminate. This review paper is to highlight the current trends in the synthesis of zeolite. Prior to previous reviews, great concern is focused on the impurities effect on the catalytic performance of kaolinite‐based zeolites. This study reveals that the impact of impurities in a catalytic reaction was in fact, underestimated or neglected. For instance, it was found that Fe ion concentration as small as 60 ppm gives significant catalytic output. Hence, a new practice to report the concentration of impurities in the research publication is suggested. This undoubtedly will generate a better interpretation of the catalytic activity from the zeolite framework.

Data produktivitas dari 560 ekor sapi PO telah dikoleksi selama 9 tahun pengamatan dari 2004 sampai 2013 untuk mengkaji estimasi nilai heritabilitas dan pengaruh non-genetik terhadap sifat produksi sapi PO dari lahir sampai umur satu tahun. Estimasi nilai heritabilitas dilakukan dengan analisis variansi menggunakan data saudara tiri sebapak (Paternal Halfsib Correlation). Pemisahan komponen ragam untuk menduga nilai heritabilitas dilakukan dengan analisis sidik ragam Rancangan Acak Lengkap pola searah. Sedangkan pengaruh non-genetik (jenis kelamin, tahun, paritas, musim, generasi dan tipe lahir) dianalisis menggunakan Generalized Linier Model (GLM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis kelamin dan tahun berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) pada sifat-sifat produksi yang meliputi bobot lahir, bobot sapih dan bobot setahun, sedangkan tipe lahir hanya berpengaruh nyata pada bobot lahir saja. Paritas, musim dan generasi menunjukkan pengaruh yang tidak nyata terhadap ketiga variabel produksi tersebut. Estimasi nilai heritabilitas bobot lahir, bobot sapih dan bobot setahun berturut-turut 0,28+0,12; 0,47+0,15 dan 0,63+0,17. Nilai heritabilitas tertinggi diperoleh pada bobot setahun, hal ini berarti bahwa bobot setahun efektif untuk digunakan sebagai kriteria seleksi dalam meningkatkan perbaikan genetik sapi PO.
