Produksi Skualen Murni Secara Sinambung Menggunakan Kromatografi Kolom
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this
research was to produce pure Squalene using the Chromatography Column of
Continuous System, so that it will be applicable in home industry. The raw
material was a Shark caught from the sea water in Katingan Regency, Central
Kalimantan. The result of this research concludes that the Column
Chromatography of Continuous System in the experiment was able to produce pure
Squalene with the level of purification of 79.89 % out of raw material was as
long 180 minutes, by the elution speed of 4 mL per minute, and the eluen
(liquid of the raw material) needed was as much as 900 mL, the solution lost (2
% of dietil eter in benzene) during the process was 2.04 %, the temperature in
the heater tube was 110 oC, the number of the Silica gel G 40 types as what
so-called solid phase in this process to purify 90 g of raw material was 90 g,
and the amount of the solution remained in the pure Squalene was 1.5 ppm.
Column Chromatography of Continuous System may be applicable in home industry
to produce pure Squalene from Shark Liver Oil, the materials and equipment for
this activity can be easily found as they are available in markets. A further
analysis is needed to find out of contained compound for its further use.
