The pH-responsive polymers, such as polyacrylamide (PAM), show distinct conformational states according to the pH of their environmental groundwater. Therefore, the interactions between clay–polymer and polymer–water molecules, which determine the yield stress of bentonite–polymer composites, can be affected by the pH of groundwater. This study aims to evaluate the effect of pH variation on the yield stress of calcium bentonite treated with PAM. The yield stresses (τy) of untreated and PAM treated clays were measured with varying volume fractions of solid (VF = 10–23%) and under varying pH conditions (pH = 7.6–9.6). In addition, the zeta potential was measured for both untreated and treated clays to figure out the change in the surface charge of the mineral surface due to PAM treatment. The results of this study demonstrate that τy for treated clay is higher than that for untreated clay at a given VF, because van der Walls attraction dominates electrostatic repulsion in the case of treated clay. Due to the change in conformational states of PAM and the consequent change in surface charge that comes with varying pH, the pH-dependent change in τy of treated clay is significantly different from that of untreated clay.

ABSTRAK Monasit merupakan mineral hasil samping pengolahan timah yang memiliki kandungan utama unsur uranium (U), torium (Th), logam tanah jarang (LTJ), dan senyawa fosfat (PO4). Di samping unsur-unsur utama tersebut, monasit juga mengandung logam-logam lain seperti aluminium (Al), besi (Fe), bismut (Bi), galium (Ga), dan talium (Tl). Unsur-unsur pada monasit harus dipisahkan agar dapat dimanfaatkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi pH dalam pemisahan unsur-unsur pada monasit dengan pengendapan bertingkat serta menentukan unsur apa saja yang dihasilkan dari setiap variasi pH. Variasi pH yang digunakan dimulai dari pH 0,5 sampai 10 dengan selisih antar-pH sebesar nol koma lima. Unsur-unsur dalam monasit dipisahkan secara bertahap dimulai dari proses dekomposisi menggunakan natrium hidroksida (NaOH), pelarutan dengan asam klorida (HCl), dan pengendapan bertingkat dengan amonium hidroksida (NH4OH). Unsur dianalisis menggunakan instrumen Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) dan Spektrofotometer UV-Visible. Pengaruh variasi pH menghasilkan endapan pada pH 3, pH 6, pH 6,5, dan pH 7. Unsur yang dihasilkan pada setiap variasi pH adalah uranium, torium, logam tanah jarang, aluminium, besi, bismut, galium, dan talium. Uranium dan torium paling banyak berada pada endapan pH 3 dengan recovery U 72,3% dan Th 46,33% serta logam tanah jarang pada pH 6,5 dengan recovery 41,87%. Unsur Fe dan Bi paling banyak mengendap pada pH 3 dengan kadar 37,9 ppm dan 100,9 ppm. Unsur Al, Ga, dan Tl paling banyak mengendap pada pH 6,5 dengan kadar 30,2 ppm, 69,8 ppm, dan 8 ppm.ABSTRACT Monazite is a mineral side product of tin processing, which mainly contains uranium (U), thorium (Th), rare earth elements (REE), and phosphate compounds (PO4). Besides these main elements, monazite also contains other metals such as aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), bismuth (Bi), gallium (Ga), and thallium (Tl). The elements in monazite must be separated to be used. This study aims to determine the effect of pH variations in the separation of components in monazite with multilevel precipitation and determine elements produced from each pH variation. The variation pH starts from pH 0,5 to 10 with a different pH of zero points five. The elements in monazite are separated gradually, beginning from the decomposition process using sodium hydroxide (NaOH), dissolving with hydrochloric acid (HCl), and graded deposition with ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH). The elements were analyzed using the instrument Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. The effect of pH variations produced precipitated pH 3, pH 6, pH 6.5, and pH 7. The elements produced at each pH variation are uranium, thorium, rare earth elements, aluminum, iron, bismuth, gallium, and thallium. Uranium and thorium were mostly at pH 3 with the recovery of U 72.3% and Th 46.33% and rare earth elements at pH 6.5 with 41.87% recovery. The elements Fe and Bi mostly settle at pH 3 with levels of 37.9 ppm and 100.9 ppm. The elements Al, Ga, and Tl, precipitate most at pH 6.5 with grades of 30.2 ppm, 69.8 ppm, and 8 ppm respectively.
