Abstract

Kaolin from Badau, Belitung, Islands of Bangka Belitung Province was used for this study. This kaolin is being studied as the potential raw material of zeolite. The goal of the study is to understand the effects of thermal treatment by calcination on the characterization results using XRD and FTIR. Kaolin was activated using NH4Cl with a concentration variation of 0,5, 1, and 2 M for 24 h using a magnetic stirrer. After that, the samples were neutralized and dried. The dried samples then hammered, sieved, and calcined at 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800°C for 3 hours. The dried samples were also characterized using XRF. The results of this study showed that metakaolin was produced at a temperature of≥600°C and no optimum concentration of NH4Cl was found.
