Characterization of Bentonite by XRD and SEM-EDS and Use to Increase PH and Color Removal, Fe and Organic Substances in Peat Water

Abstract

Abstract-XRD analysis showed that Bentonite area of Jambi region composed of the mineral kaolinite, monmorrilonit, quartz and cristobalit. Minerals that are most monmorillonit the average content was 51.96%, with an average density of 2193 g-1cm-1. The results of the analysis by Scanning Electron Microskopy (SEM) and Energy Disvertive Spektroskopy (EDS), showed that the shape of smooth surfaces and coated bentonite, the biggest constituent composition is SiO2 and Al2O3 with an average of 50.01% and 30.65% by weight. The ability of bentonite to improve pH, color, Fe and organic matter peat water is relatively varied. The addition of bentonite did not significantly affect the pH of peat water, but good enough in reducing the color content 65.60%, organic matter 59.1%, and 35.89% Fe contained in the peat water.

Molybdenum(VI) removal from aqueous solutions using bentonite and powdered cockle shell; Optimization by response surface methodology

“…Based on XRD results (Fig. 1), SiO2/Fe2O3/Al2O3 and CaCO3 make up most of the bentonite, which is in line with findings of Naswir et al, (2013). Based on the FTIR results ( Fig.…”

The Development of Nanotechnology Bentonite as Adsorbent of Copper Metal (Cu)

“…The bentonite composition of the Tanjung Biku area is determined using the SEM-EDS instrument, as listed in Table 1 (Naswir et al, 2013). (Naswir et al, 2013) From Table 1 it is known that bentonite has some chemical components that cause the bentonite can adsorb, in addition to the adsorption properties of bentonite is because the particle size is very small and has a high capacity ion surface (Naswir et al, 2013). Absorptive capacity will be increased if activated bentonite both physics and chemistry.…”

Determination of morphological features and molecular interactions of Nigerian bentonitic clays using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

“…Thismineral has a hexagonal crystal structure made of trigonalcrystallized silica (silicon dioxide, SiO2), with 7 Mohshardness scale and density of 2.65 g / cm -3 , (Muhammad, 2013). The fine clay slurry was sieved using Tyler sieve of mesh size 230 (63 μm aperture opening) so as to further separate the fine grits present in the fraction.…”

“…This procedure was carried out on all the samples which were packaged for characterization and drilling fluid formulation as explained by Bilal et al, (2006). (Muhammad et al, 2013).…”
