Abstract. Province of Nor"th Sumaterahas been well known as a territory having nrulti kind of
industrial mineralswhich have not been used and maintainedproperly and optimally. One of which
is a natural Pahaezeolite derived fi'om Tarutung, Tapanuli Utara-Indonesia.The objective of this
researchis to exploit Pahaezeolite to absorbwater moleculesflowing into the combustionchamber
of a hydrogen fueled motorcycle. The generation of water molecules v/as as a result of water
splitting processin water to hydrogen converterof the motorcycle. The grain size of Pahaezeolite
was lessenedup to 60 and 200 mesheswhich were then chemically activatedby soakingwith 30%
KOH solution and calcination at a temperatureof 300"C for 2 hours. The test resultsconductedon
the intake pipe of combustion chamber showed that the particle size of 200 mesheshad more
absorptionthan that of 60 meshes.[t was also tbund that type of Pahaezeolite had better absorption
comparedwith Cikalongzeolite.
Introduction
The fbssil energy crisis is still to be a main issue in this world until now. An innovation of
developinghydrogenfueledmotorcycle hasbeen doing in Laboratory of TerpaduFisika, University
of SuntateraUtara-Indonesiaas an effort to overcomethe problem since 2009, The motorcycle is
equipped with electronic water to hydrogen converter to generatehydrogen gas flowed into a
combustionchamber.Even thought, the motorcycle made a successof travelling without utilizing
gasoline,but incomplete combustionoccurredoccasionallyas the road test. This was causedby the
hydrogen gas flow to combustion chamberbrought with the water molecules from the converter.
Therefore, the filtering of water molecules in hydrogen gas pipeline of the motorcycle becomes
very necessary.
In this work, zeolite derived from Pahaehasbeenexploited as a raw material for manufacturing
water molecule filter placed in hydrogen gas pipeline of our hydrogen fueled motorcycle. Zeolite
which is an inorganic polymer was chosenbecauseit is composedof repeatingunits in the fonn of
SiO and AlOq tetrahedra.Tetrahedralbonds form by sharingone oxygen atom by two tetrahedra,so
that each tetrahedron bind four other tetrahedra [1]. Polymers that form a three-dinensional
tetrahedralnetwork in the form of crystals have pore channeJsand cavities that can be filled with
water molecules. The existence of polar and non-polar nature of the zeolite surface makes it
containing a lot of exchangablecations where the cations bind water molecules strongly [2].
However, on the other hand the compositionof the natural zeolite still containsmany impurities, so
it is necessaryto improve the activation processof adsorption[3]. The adsorptioncharacteristicsof
any zeolite are dependentupon the detailedchemical/struchualmake up of the adsorbent.The Si/Al
ratio and the cation type, numberand location are particularly influential in adsorption[4].

Methodology
The choice of the proper zeolite and the best operatingadsorptiveconditions can be refined by the
helpful tool of molecular simulation techniques[5-?]. Natural zeolite usedin this work was derived
from Pahae,Tatutung, Tapanuli Utara-Indonesia.Pahaezeolite in lump form was shatteredin a
Fritsch Mortar Grinder Pulverisette2 and then, it was sifted to obtain zeolite powder with the size
of 60 and 200 meshes.The powder was activatedby stirring it up in 30% KOH solution for 3 hours
using a magneticstirrer and followed by heatingit at 300oCfbr 2 hours in an oven.
The water absorptivecapability test was doneby soakingzeolite in water far 24 hours,while its
air absorptivecapability was testedby keeping it in air for 24 hours. Hereafter.the water contained
by zeolite powdei was squeezedwith a filter and then the wet zeolite powder was dried in open air
for 3 hours.For the applicationas a filter of water molecules.the dried zeolite powder was encased
in a waterproof paper and placed in watet to hydrogen converter KIT equippedwith a hydrogen
sens{}ras shown in Figure l. The test result of Pahaezeolite *ur

The ion-exchangeprocessis reversible,allowing for adsorptionof ions and molecules,making
zeolites useful as filters [8]. Absorptive capability of zeolite filters to water molecules can be
representedby hydrogen sensorreadings. When amount of water moleculss falling onto sensor
surfacemuch more as the sensoris sensingthe presenceof hydrogon gas on its surfacewill retard
the increasein output voltage. It means that the increasein output voltage of sensor is directly
proportionalwith the improvementof absorptivecapability of zeolite filters.
The graphs in Figure 3 show hydrogen sensor readings in the output voltage. The readings
display that the use of 200 meshesPahaezeolite filter in KIT as hydrogengas generationwas going
on higher than 60 meshes.The output voltage of sensoris 3.569 volts for 200 mesh Pahaezeolite
filter after it was exposedto water moleculesbrought with hydrogen for 22 minutes. Whereas,for
60 meshesis 3.275 V at the same duration as shown in Figure 3, meaning that the grain size
influencesthe absorptivecapacityof a filter basedon Pahaezeolite.

The different result was appointedby Cikalong zeolite filter with the grain size of 60 meshes.
The sensor output voltages using 60 meshesCikalong zeolite filter are higher comparedto 200
meshesuntil the gas expose time of 16 minutes. However, the gas exposureabove 16 minutes
resultedin no significant increasein output voltage for 60 meshesCikalong zeolite filter. It is likely
that this saturationtrend may be causedby its high grain hardnessthat results in the absorption

Abstract. Province of Nor"th Sumaterahas been well known as a territory having nrulti kind of
industrial mineralswhich have not been used and maintainedproperly and optimally. One of which
is a natural Pahaezeolite derived fi'om Tarutung, Tapanuli Utara-Indonesia.The objective of this
researchis to exploit Pahaezeolite to absorbwater moleculesflowing into the combustionchamber
of a hydrogen fueled motorcycle. The generation of water molecules v/as as a result of water
splitting processin water to hydrogen converterof the motorcycle. The grain size of Pahaezeolite
was lessenedup to 60 and 200 mesheswhich were then chemically activatedby soakingwith 30%
KOH solution and calcination at a temperatureof 300"C for 2 hours. The test resultsconductedon
the intake pipe of combustion chamber showed that the particle size of 200 mesheshad more
absorptionthan that of 60 meshes.[t was also tbund that type of Pahaezeolite had better absorption
comparedwith Cikalongzeolite.
Introduction
The fbssil energy crisis is still to be a main issue in this world until now. An innovation of
developinghydrogenfueledmotorcycle hasbeen doing in Laboratory of TerpaduFisika, University
of SuntateraUtara-Indonesiaas an effort to overcomethe problem since 2009, The motorcycle is
equipped with electronic water to hydrogen converter to generatehydrogen gas flowed into a
combustionchamber.Even thought, the motorcycle made a successof travelling without utilizing
gasoline,but incomplete combustionoccurredoccasionallyas the road test. This was causedby the
hydrogen gas flow to combustion chamberbrought with the water molecules from the converter.
Therefore, the filtering of water molecules in hydrogen gas pipeline of the motorcycle becomes
very necessary.
In this work, zeolite derived from Pahaehasbeenexploited as a raw material for manufacturing
water molecule filter placed in hydrogen gas pipeline of our hydrogen fueled motorcycle. Zeolite
which is an inorganic polymer was chosenbecauseit is composedof repeatingunits in the fonn of
SiO and AlOq tetrahedra.Tetrahedralbonds form by sharingone oxygen atom by two tetrahedra,so
that each tetrahedron bind four other tetrahedra [1]. Polymers that form a three-dinensional
tetrahedralnetwork in the form of crystals have pore channeJsand cavities that can be filled with
water molecules. The existence of polar and non-polar nature of the zeolite surface makes it
containing a lot of exchangablecations where the cations bind water molecules strongly [2].
However, on the other hand the compositionof the natural zeolite still containsmany impurities, so
it is necessaryto improve the activation processof adsorption[3]. The adsorptioncharacteristicsof
any zeolite are dependentupon the detailedchemical/struchualmake up of the adsorbent.The Si/Al
ratio and the cation type, numberand location are particularly influential in adsorption[4].

Methodology
The choice of the proper zeolite and the best operatingadsorptiveconditions can be refined by the
helpful tool of molecular simulation techniques[5-?]. Natural zeolite usedin this work was derived
from Pahae,Tatutung, Tapanuli Utara-Indonesia.Pahaezeolite in lump form was shatteredin a
Fritsch Mortar Grinder Pulverisette2 and then, it was sifted to obtain zeolite powder with the size
of 60 and 200 meshes.The powder was activatedby stirring it up in 30% KOH solution for 3 hours
using a magneticstirrer and followed by heatingit at 300oCfbr 2 hours in an oven.
The water absorptivecapability test was doneby soakingzeolite in water far 24 hours,while its
air absorptivecapability was testedby keeping it in air for 24 hours. Hereafter.the water contained
by zeolite powdei was squeezedwith a filter and then the wet zeolite powder was dried in open air
for 3 hours.For the applicationas a filter of water molecules.the dried zeolite powder was encased
in a waterproof paper and placed in watet to hydrogen converter KIT equippedwith a hydrogen
sens{}ras shown in Figure l. The test result of Pahaezeolite *ur

The ion-exchangeprocessis reversible,allowing for adsorptionof ions and molecules,making
zeolites useful as filters [8]. Absorptive capability of zeolite filters to water molecules can be
representedby hydrogen sensorreadings. When amount of water moleculss falling onto sensor
surfacemuch more as the sensoris sensingthe presenceof hydrogon gas on its surfacewill retard
the increasein output voltage. It means that the increasein output voltage of sensor is directly
proportionalwith the improvementof absorptivecapability of zeolite filters.
The graphs in Figure 3 show hydrogen sensor readings in the output voltage. The readings
display that the use of 200 meshesPahaezeolite filter in KIT as hydrogengas generationwas going
on higher than 60 meshes.The output voltage of sensoris 3.569 volts for 200 mesh Pahaezeolite
filter after it was exposedto water moleculesbrought with hydrogen for 22 minutes. Whereas,for
60 meshesis 3.275 V at the same duration as shown in Figure 3, meaning that the grain size
influencesthe absorptivecapacityof a filter basedon Pahaezeolite.

The different result was appointedby Cikalong zeolite filter with the grain size of 60 meshes.
The sensor output voltages using 60 meshesCikalong zeolite filter are higher comparedto 200
meshesuntil the gas expose time of 16 minutes. However, the gas exposureabove 16 minutes
resultedin no significant increasein output voltage for 60 meshesCikalong zeolite filter. It is likely
that this saturationtrend may be causedby its high grain hardnessthat results in the absorption
