Abstract

The formation of the mineral phase of fine cement type mixture of calcium aluminate and magnesium aluminate has been made of a mixture of fine dolomite and alumina materials. The composition defined by cross system comparisons (75, 50, 25 : 25, 50, 75) % with the conditions and constant firing temperature 1200oC. Characterization of the test sample fired product include XRD, chemical analysis, and physical analysis, which showed the formation of the main mineral phases of calcium aluminate, magnesium aluminate and free alumina. The type and level of calcium aluminate phase stability of the composition is varied than magnesium aluminate phase; among the others forming grossit (CaAl4O7) for Al2O3 content of excess (code C) and Ca3Al2O6 for excess CaO constant (code A). Physical properties of the two types of cement fine in succession, the density are 2,0 and 2,5 gr/cm3, the porosity are 24,42 and 52,23 %, pH 10 and 8, the compression strength are 150 and 160 / 2 cm diameter of test pieces. The selected composition (C) is the best of the cement product made of dolomit -alumina. The purpose of the orientation of fire cement mineral phase formation, is to give direction forming system fire cement mixture CA / MA of dolomit alumina in the system (CaO-MgO-Al2O3) is controlled minerology and physics.

Abstract

Balai Besar Keramik has succeeded in producing synthetic bone ash from natural limestone and phosphoric acid. Characteristic of synthetic bone ash has a purity of  ≥  98%, white degree (brightness 90.59 and whiteness 89,42), ratio of Ca / P 1,64. Synthetic Bone ash is not inferior to bone ash from bovine bone combustion so it can be used as an alternative raw material for bone china ceramic body. The technoeconomic studies have been analyzed with assumption for the production capacity of 30 tons per month of synthetic bone ash, 5 years investment age will require initial investment cost of Rp. 3,667,083,700, - and total production cost per year is Rp. 4.059.279.000, -. With the selling price of synthetic bone ash products Rp.16.000, - / kg, will get the value of NPV in the 5th year of Rp. 557.517.242,27, -, IRR of 18.36%,  BCR of 1,135, BEP units: 982,774 kg, BEP sales: Rp. 15,724,389,020, - and Payback Period is 3.08 years. The results indicate that bone ash production is feasible according to financial criteria.
