Perancangan Bed Reactor Zeolit Alam sebagai Alat Penyerap Emisi Gas Asap pada Motor Bakar Bensin

Abstract

The gas absorbed by the zeolite rocks found in the reactor bed to inhibit the exhaust gas does not come directly out of this gas due to the entry into the gaps between the zeolite rocks. Zeolite ability has several properties that are dehydration, absorbent properties, ion exchange properties and catalytic properties. The properties of zeolite are suitable for reducing the gas produced by motor vehicles. The zeolite stone dimension affects the absorption of exhaust gases by 10 mesh and 20 mesh. The result of emission test of CO gas analyzer (Carbon Monoxide) can be reduced by zeolite with 10 mesh has higher CO gas absorption value either on turbulent or linear gas flow. For linear flow of exhaust gas higher absorption of CO gas on turbulent flow gas when compared with linear flow gas using bed reactor containing zeolite with dimension of 10 mesh, although only slight difference. The use of bed reactor material with 20 mesh zeolite has lower emission rate when compared with using 10 mesh for CO gas absorption. Similarly, CO2 absorption used in bed reactors with a 10 mesh zeolite odor has lower emission figures on the gauge when compared to using 20 mesh materials, according to the grain dimensions of the zeolite used, the 10 mesh material is better absorbing CO2 compared to 20 mesh material.
