PARTICLE SIZE AND CRYSTAL CONFORMATION OF SYNTHESIZED ZEOLITE-A WITH TETRAPROPYLAMMONIUM HYDROXIDE (TPAOH) ADDITION. The aims of this research is to study the effect of tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) concentration in the synthesis of zeolite A to its physical characteristics such as crystallinity, crystal conformation and average crystal size. The zeolite A was synthesized with composition 3.165 Na2O : 1.000 Al2O3: 1.926 SiO2: 128 H2O : x TPAOH where x was 0; 0.0385; 0.0577; 0.0770; 0.1540 and 4.1602. The zeolite was crystalized under hydrothermal condition in a stainless steel autoclave at 100°C for 5 hours. The resulting crystal was washed with distilled water until pH 8 and then dried in an oven at 80oC for 24 hours. FT-IR and XRD analysis results show that the synthesized zeolite A at x = 4.1602 has the lowest crystallinity. It is estimated due to the mass of TPAOH was four times higger than the mass of zeolite framework components (Si and Al). SEM and PSD (Particle Size Distribution) analysis results show that TPAOH concentration affected the crystal conformation and the average size of zeolite A particles. The formation of chained crystal conformation was caused by the electrostatic interactions between TPA+ and negatively charge of zeolite framework. In addition, the particel size of the synthesized zeolite A at x = 0.1540 was 2.024 µm which was smaller than the particel size of the synthesized zeolite A without TPAOH, which was 3.534 µm.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh konsentrasi TPAOH (Tetrapropilamonium hidroksida) dalam sintesis zeolit A terhadap sifat fisikanya yang meliputi kekristalan, konformasi kristal dan ukuran rata-rata kristal yang terbentuk. Pada penelitian   ini   zeolit A   disintesis    dengan komposisi 3,165 Na2O : 1 Al2O3 : 1,926 SiO2 :128 H2O: x TPAOH. Konsentrasi TPAOH divariasikan dengan nilai x adalah 0; 0,0385; 0,0577; 0,0770; 0,1540 dan 4,1602. Metode hidrotermal digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan kondisi suhu  hidrotermal 100°C dan waktu kristalisasi selama 5 jam dengan pH pencucian 8. Hasil karakterisasi menggunakan FT-IR (Fourier Transform – Infrared Spectroscopy) dan XRD (X-Ray Diffraction)  menunjukkan bahwa zeolit A yang disintesis dengan x = 4,1602 memiliki kekristalan terendah. Hal ini diperkirakan terjadi karena masa TPAOH yang digunakan empat kali lebih besar daripada masa penyusun zeolit (Si dan Al). Berdasarkan hasil karakterisasi menggunakan SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) dan PSD (Particle Size Distribution), dapat diketahui bahwa TPAOH berpengaruh terhadap konformasi kristal dan rata-rata ukuran kristalnya.  Terbentuknya konformasi kristal seperti rantai disebabkan oleh adanya interaksi elektrostatik antara muatan positif pada TPA+ dan muatan negatif dari kerangka zeolit. Zeolit A yang disintesis dengan x = 0,1540 memiliki ukuran partikel rata-rata 2,024 µm yang lebih kecil dari daripada zeolit A tanpa TPAOH yaitu sebesar 3,534 µm.
