Research on hydroton analysis based on ball clay and cocopeat has been conducted. This study aims to determine how the effect of cocopeat addition on physical properties of hydrotons in term of porosity, bulk density, and absorption. Cocopeats which were added to ball clay varies from 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. Hydrotons were synthesized using a furnace at 950°C for 4 hours with a holding time for 2 hours. Based on the characterization results, the addition of cocopeat affected the physical properties of hydrotons, especially porosity and water absorbance of hydrotons which were positively correlated 94.5% and 96% respectively. Meanwhile, the bulk density negatively correlated at 98.1%. The more cocopeats added, the higher porosity and water absorbance, the contrary, the bulk density decreased gradually.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
