SINTESIS DAN KARAKTERISASI BIMETAL Co-Mo/BENTONIT TERPILAR Al13
Bentonite is a layered material that can be modified to improve its physicochemical properties through a pillarization process. This study aims to synthesize Co–Mo bimetals dispersed on Al13-pillared bentonite (BPILC) and analyze the effect of Co-Mo variations on its physicochemical characteristics. The synthesis was carried out through pillarization using Al13 polycation followed by wet impregnation of Co and Mo metals with three composition variations. BPILC was characterized using FTIR, XRD, and BET, while Co–Mo/BPILC bimetal was characterized using FTIR and XRD. The results showed that Al13 pillarization changed the interlayer chemical environment of bentonite without damaging the montmorillonite framework and significantly increased the specific surface area from 99.46 m2/g to 225.38 m2/g. Variations in the Co–Mo composition affect the physicochemical properties of the material, as indicated by the formation of nanometer-sized MoO3 crystalline phases and differences in the appearance of Mo=O bands in the FTIR spectrum. Overall, the 5%Co–15%Mo composition shows the most consistent physicochemical properties compared to other variations.
