Abstract

Used lubricating oil contains degradation products and contaminants that may cause environmental pollution if improperly disposed of. This study investigated the utilization of coal bottom ash as an adsorbent for used lubricating oil purification and evaluated the effect of thermal activation on its adsorption performance. Bottom ash was purified using 2 M H₂SO₄ and subsequently thermally activated at 650°C for 3 h with NaOH assistance. The chemical composition of the adsorbent was analyzed using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), while adsorption performance was evaluated through density, kinematic viscosity, and flash point measurements of the treated oil. XRF results showed that the purification process reduced Ca content from 22.36 wt.% to 10.44 wt.% and Fe content from 29.19 wt.% to 20.61 wt.% while preserving the major silica and alumina components. The thermally activated bottom ash exhibited better adsorption performance than the non-activated adsorbent, resulting in higher density and viscosity values of the treated oil. These findings demonstrate that thermal activation improves the adsorption capability of bottom ash, indicating its potential as a low-cost and environmentally friendly adsorbent for used lubricating oil purification.

Abstract

The availability of clean water is a crucial issue in Jatimulyo Village, South Lampung Regency, particularly during the dry season. Residents face difficulties accessing water sources due to a limited understanding of the subsurface groundwater potential. In response to this problem, a team from the Sumatra Institute of Technology (ITERA) conducted a community service activity aimed at mapping this groundwater potential. This activity utilized the geoelectric resistivity method to identify subsurface structures and determine the locations and depths of potential aquifers for drilled wells. In its implementation, the team collaborated with the local village government and involved participants from the Geophysical Engineering and Petroleum and Gas Engineering Study Programs. In addition to technical surveys, the team also conducted a socialization of their findings and provided education on groundwater utilization. This event, attended by residents, local neighborhood (RT) heads, and village officials, highlighted the importance of proper aquifer identification, well maintenance techniques, and strategies for ensuring water resource sustainability. This initiative received positive appreciation from the village head and residents, who hope the results of the ITERA study can provide a concrete solution to address the challenges of clean water availability in their region.
