Abstract

Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) belongs to a class of surfactants claimed as an environmentally friendly detergent due to its biodegradability. However, the disposal of LAS waste into the waters without prior treatment causes a risk to the ecosystem. These experiments aimed to study the effects of commercial inoculum size EM-4 on the aerobic decomposition process of LAS in a well-shaped bioreactor. These experiments of LAS decomposition were carried out in a batch system aerated by 2.5 L/min for the low and high initial LAS concentrations. The effects of inoculum acclimation were also investigated for the high LAS concentration. The effects of inoculum size were explored at sizes ranging from 5 to 20% v/v, and samples were taken on a regular basis for residual LAS assessment. The first-order kinetic model gave the best fit to the rate of LAS decomposition, with the highest rate coefficient of 10.44 x 10-2 hour-1. This was achieved by using a 20% v/v inoculum for the initial low concentration of LAS, resulting in the highest decomposition efficiency of 89.4% after 24 hours of incubation. The decomposition rate was slower at the high LAS concentrations than at the low concentrations. The inoculum acclimation increased the decomposition rate for the high LAS concentrations. The results of this study show great potential for the bioremediation of LAS detergent waste using commercial inoculum in a well-shaped batch bioreactor.

Abstract

In the current situation, biomass gasification has become a major interest in producing clean energy and green chemicals. By gasification, the biomass can be converted to synthetic gas (syngas) for many purposes. However, syngas with high tar content can cause pipeline fouling and disturb the operation of downstream equipment. To reduce tar content, a two-series wet scrubber was installed for syngas cleaning produced by palm kernel shell gasification. Firstly, the gasification is operated at a temperature range of 500 600oC and 700 800oC to determine the conditions where the lowest tar syngas is produced. After that, the wet scrubber is installed with a variety of solvents including isopropyl alcohol, water, used cooking oil, and used lubricating oil. The results show that the lowest tar syngas was produced at a temperature of 800oC with a tar yield of 0.165 g/kg biomass. Meanwhile, in the same condition, isopropyl alcohol delivers the most substantial impact on tar removal efficiency, whereas used lubricating oil results in less impact. The use of isopropyl alcohol resulted in 99.25% tar removal effectiveness while lubricating oil yielded just 50.32%.
