Judul: Synthesis of CaTiO3 by Using Eggshell as Source of CaO.
Abstrak: Selama ini, cangkang telur hanya menjadi limbah yang berpotensi mencemari lingkungan tanpa dimanfaatkan lebih lanjut. Tingginya kandungan CaCO3 menjadikan cangkang telur sebagai komoditas yang berpotensi sebagai prekursor dalam sintesis material, seperti kalsium titanat (CaTiO3). CaTiO3 sering digunakan sebagai bahan dielektrik untuk kapasitor, selain itu juga berfungsi sebagai katalis pada proses fotokatalis dan fotoluminesens. CaTiO3 dapat disintesis dengan mereaksikan CaO dari kalsinasi cangkang telur dan TiCl4 melalui metode hidrotermal. Sintesis dilakukan pada 3 kondisi pH, yaitu pH 1, 4, dan 14, dengan suhu 150 oC selama 8 jam. Berdasarkan hasil analisis difraksi sinar-X, sintesis pada pH 1 dan pH 4 hanya menghasilkan kristal TiO2. Kristal CaTiO3 berhasil disintesis pada kondisi pH 14. Hasil uji penganalisis ukuran partikel menunjukkan bahwa kristal CaTiO3 yang terbentuk masih belum homogen dengan ukuran kristal 400–1400 nm.
