DEHIDRASI ISOPROPANOL MENJADI DIISOPROPIL ETER DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN KATALIS ZEOLIT KOBALT FOSFAT
The use of alternative fuels is still developing and being researched. One of the alternative fuels is diisopropyl ether which has a high cetane number so that it is good for use as a fuel. Diisopropyl ether can be obtained through the dehydration process of isopropanol. Zeolite has a hollow structure so that it can increase the surface area and has a high ion exchange capacity. Zeolite surface area can occur after the zeolite is activated. In this study, the conversion of isopropanol to diisopropyl ether was carried out using a cobalt phosphate zeolitas a catalyst. . The research begins with activation zeolite was carried out by treating HF 1% and HCl 6 N. Metal modification was carried out by comparing the concentrations of 2,4,6,8,10 mEq/1 g zeolitwith CoCl2.6H2O 0,1 M. Then the catalyst with the best composition was tested for characterization using XRD, SEM-EDS and FT-IR. Zeolite cobalt phosphate catalyst 8 mEq/1 g zeolite is the catalyst with the best composition with the conversion results and the selectivity, namely 66.19% and 46.72% with the resulting yield of 34.99%. This is supported by the acidity analysis which states that the 8 mEq/1 g zeolite cobalt phosphate catalyst has the highest total acidity, which is 1.827 mmol/g. The XRD and SEM-EDS tests showed that the zeolite crystals had been modified by cobalt phosphate metal seen from the presence of 2 theta peak and the results of the compound content in EDS, namely at a diffraction angle of 61.2º with elements containing Co compounds of 2.23% on a zeolite-CoO catalyst and 67.3º with elements containing Co of 1.61% and phosphate of 9.23% on a zeolite-Co(H2PO4)2 catalyst. In the FT-IR characteristics, the Bronsted acid were detected in the wave number of 1641.42 cm-1 and Lewis acid groups detected of 1436.97 cm-1.
