Abstract:Catalyst is a substance that is widely used in chemical reactions to obtain certain products. This study has been focusing on preparing and employing solid catalyst derived from geothermal sludge (GS) as waste material from Dieng Geothermal Power Plant (PLTPB) activity. The methodology of catalyst preparation was extraction of silica from the sludge by alkali solution, followed by gelling formation and acidification with sulfuric acid solution. The prepared catalyst was then applied in hydrolysis reaction to c… Show more
