SintesadanUjiZiolite 3A Pellet untukProduksiEtanol Fuel Grade

Abstract

ABSTRACT

                    Ethanol, one of the alternative fuels that is intensively researched  recently. Ethanol can make through enzymatic and fermentationprocesses. Concentration of ethanol from distillation process limited until 96%.  Ethanol as alternative energy fuels has purity 99.5% ,so that it needs to be dehydrated. This research aimed to synthesis molecular sieve, zeolite 3A which is a molecule of material can only be passed by ethanol.  The result showed synthesized molecular sieve can increase purity ethanol from 96 % to 99.8 %.
