ZEMI-Aerogel Research Group (ZEMI-ARG) Framework

Members: Adimas Prasetyaaji (TK 12), Edi Sugiarto (TK 13), I Made Sathya Dananjaya
(TK 12)
Raw materials: precipitate silica Dieng can be obtained from Geothermal Research Group
(Olvi).
Previous research dealing with preparation of raw material: Mas Hendrik(TK 11): He
was able to produce sodium silicate with concentration of 300 ppm at temperature 60 oC
within 1-2 hour(s).
Inspiring technology: Ultra ever dry (please refers to youtube vids regarding this
supplement)
Setiap progress akan kita catat di log book ZEMI-ARG (Format ada di lampiran I)

Events
Contacting Olvi regarding to make deal
of the raw material from precipitate
silica geothermal.
In touch with Mas Hendrik to obtain the
information about his research,
furthermore ask his research report if be
allowed.

Please make your reading assignment report in terms of word file (.docx, converted to 2007
version when saving as the file). Emphasize your report in preparation method, because we
will use it as comparison what method to be more economic and feasible to be done in our
labs.
The next agenda will be publish next week. Break a leg, research fellas!!
