    Abstract Fly Ash MLP

    This study examines the effects of adding fly ash on the mechanical properties of multi-layer plastic packaging waste. Fly ash is a byproduct of coal combustion in power plants that is currently largely disposed of in landfills. Similarly, multi-layer plastic packaging waste is difficult to recycle due to its composite nature. To add value, fly ash was added to the plastic waste at amounts up to 40% by weight. The composite was extruded at temperatures up to 260°C and screw speeds of 100rpm. Test specimens were injection molded and tested for mechanical properties. Results showed that adding fly ash improved the composite's mechanical properties.

    Packaging waste has become a major environmental issue as the world's population grows, increasing

    the demand for multi-layer packaging (MLP). As a result, there is a push to develop alternative
    methods for recycling such materials. Composite material production has become a significant
    concern for mechanical recycling of plastic waste. Fly ash (FA), a powder produced by coal
    combustion in thermal power plants, causes several environmental issues, including air pollution and
    the need for large disposal sites. FA could be used as a filler in polymer composites to improve their
    properties while lowering manufacturing costs. This study describes the creation of a novel value-
    added composite made of fly ash (FA) and flexible multi-layer packaging (MLP). FA is added to
    MLP in varying amounts up to 40% by weight. The composite was created using a single screw
    extrusion technique at maximum temperatures of 260 °C and screw rotation speeds of 100 rpm. An
    injection molding machine was used to make test specimens for mechanical property evaluations.
    Mechanical properties such as flexural, impact, and compression were measured using ASTM D790
    and ASTM D695. The density of the composite material was determined using the ASTM D792
    standard. The results show that incorporating FA into MLP improves the mechanical properties of the
    composite.
    Abstract

    Pengaruh penambahan abu terbang terhadap sifat mekanik buangan limbah plastik multi layer
    packaging

    Fly ash merupakan produk samping dari sisa proses batubara yang biasa di jalankan pada pembangkit
    listrik. Saat ini fly ash belum termanfaatkan secara maksimal dimana produk samping fly ash ini
    masih diperlakukan dalam bentuk land field. Demikian juga limbah plastik Multi Layer packaging
    yang saat ini menjadi permasalahan secara global masih tidak mudah untuk dilakukan recycle
    dikarenakan dari limbah tersebut masih mengandung bermacam-macam bahan semisal polyolefin,
    polyester dan aluminium. Untuk memberikan nilai tambah terhadap limbah multi layer packaging ini,
    pada penelitian ini dilakukan penambahan fly ash untuk mengetahui sifat mekanik compressive
    strength sesuai standard ASTM 695, hardness shore D sesuai standard ASTM 2240 dan sifat fisik
    melt flow rate sesuai standard ASTM 1238 . Variasi penambahan fly ash dilakukan sebanyak 5, 10, 20
    , 30 dan 40 % berat. Pemrosesan awal dengan mencampur fly ash dengan limbah MLP menggunakan
    single screew extruder pada temperatur yang diatur secara gradual dari hopper menuju ke die cetakan
    berupa pelet dari temperatur 190 -260 OC dengan putaran screw sebesar 100 rpm . Selanjutnya
    sampel dalam bentuk pelet ini dilakukan pencetakan dengan menggunakan mesin Injection molding.

    Key words : Fly ash, Multy layer packaging, ekstrusi, injection molding, sifat mekanik dan fisik
