Lanthanum nickelate (La2NiO4) is a precursor for producing lanthanum pentanickel (LaNi5) alloys for nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH; a type of rechargeable battery), which has been developed quite rapidly for many applications, such as hybrid electric vehicles. The purpose of this study is to analyze feasibility of the lanthanum nickelate (La2NiO4) project. This study compared two fuels, glycine (F-G) and citric acid (F-CA) using the sol-gel combustion method. Technical analysis was carried out by changing the lab scale into an industrial scale and was made the process design. Several economic evaluation parameters were analyzed to inform the potential of La2NiO4 production, such as gross profit margin (GPM), internal rate of return (IRR), payback period (PBP), cumulative net present value (CNPV), and so on. Analysis of economic evaluation parameters is calculated under ideal conditions and in some cases. These cases are internal conditions (changes in raw materials, sales, utilities, labor, variable costs) external conditions (tax) as well as changes in production capacity. The results were showed that La2NiO4 production is prospective from the engineering and economic. However, production of La2NiO4 with F-CA were better than F-G. This is base on the quantity and quality produced by La2NiO4. Projects with F-CA produce more La2NiO4 than projects with F-G, 1154 kg with F-CA and 773 kg with F-G. From the economy, Economic analysis of GPM, PBP, BEP, CNPV and PI were positive while IRR and ROI were negative. This project is feasiblility to run. However, the Project will only benefit in certain economic conditions. Thus, since this material is very important to reduce dependence on imports, additional further technology for improving process and support from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and government are important for maintaining this project.
