Abstract

This research aims to study the effect of acetic acid concentration on the synthesis of calcium acetate from golden apple snail shells. Samples were prepared from the reaction of golden apple snail shell powders (CaCO3) and 8M, 10M and 12M of acetic acid in 1:2 mole ratio. The obtained samples were labeled as CA8, CA10 and CA12. The structure and chemical composition of as-prepared calcium acetate powders were analyzed by X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform-infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TG/DTG) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) technique. FTIR and XRD results confirmed that the prepared samples are Ca(CH3COO)2.H2O. Increasing acetic acid concentration does not affect to the structure of calcium acetate but it decreases calcium acetate particle sizes. The sample with highest yield and soluble percentage is CA10. The prepared calcium acetate compounds were used to prepare calcium acetate solutions by dissolving 17.6 g of sample in 100 mL deionized water. The prepared calcium acetate solutions were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), the result show that the solution prepared from CA10 had the highest calcium content. From the results, it can be indicated that calcium acetate which is the raw material of liquid fertilizer can be prepared from golden apple snail shell wastes by rapid and low-cost process. This process is suitable for further use in the industrial scale.
