Abstract

The utilization of durian peels, which are considered agricultural waste, remains minimal. One alternative to reduce the amount of durian peel waste is to use it as a basic material for producing bioethanol. Durian peels contain a significant amount of cellulose, making them highly potential as a basic material for bioethanol production. One of the key processes in producing bioethanol is fermentation, which is carried out with the help of microorganisms, specifically those from baker’s yeast or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of fermentation duration and yeast mass on the resulting bioethanol content. The independent variables in this study are fermentation time and the mass of yeast used. The fermentation times used are 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours, with yeast mass concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6% mass/volume. After fermentation, the process continues to the purification or distillation stage to obtain the final bioethanol product. The obtained bioethanol will then be measured for its refractive index and analyzed using Gas Chromatography to determine its bioethanol content (%). The highest bioethanol content observed in this experiment was 29.33%, achieved with a fermentation time of 72 hours and a yeast mass of 6%. The quantitative analysis using GC showed the highest bioethanol content of 29.70%. These results indicate that durian peel waste has significant potential as a basic material for bioethanol production.

Abstract

Pencemaran karbon dioksida (CO2) adalah salah satu permasalahan lingkungan global yang saat ini menjadi isu yang sangat penting. Menurut data dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) Indonesia, emisi karbon dioksida di Indonesia meningkat sebesar 4,54% dari tahun 2015 hingga 2019. Pada tahun 2015, emisi karbon dioksida di Indonesia mencapai sekitar 505,3 juta ton CO2. Namun pada tahun 2019, emisi karbon dioksida meningkat menjadi sekitar 527,3 juta ton CO2 . dari batu bara naik 1,6% sedangkan emisi bahan bakar minyak meningkat 2,5%. Salah satu cara untuk mengurangi karbon dioksida di atmosfer adalah dengan mengubah karbon dioksida dan menggunakannya dalam bahan kimia, misalnya dengan menghidrogenasi CO2 menjadi metana. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menghasilkan gas metana dari karbon dioksida menggunakan variasi jumlah katalis Ni/Al2O3 dan variasi konsentrasi KOH. Dalam penelitian ini, digunakan CO2 sebagai bahan baku dengan katalis Ni/Al2O3 dan logam Zn. Jumlah Katalis Ni/Al2O3 diatur dengan variasi (51,52, 53 dan 54 gram), konsentrasi KOH diatur dengan variasi (3,5M; 4M; dan 4,5M) dan waktu operasi 20 menit. Untuk analisa gas metana (CH4) yang dihasilkan akan dianalisa menggunakan Multi Gas Detector Analyzer. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini gas metana hasil konversi paling tinggi diangka 47,58% dengan variasi pada jumlah katalis 54 gram dan konsentrasi KOH 4,5M

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the dynamic performance of NaOH-activated hybrid adsorbent derived from jengkol peels and coconut shell for Cu(II) removal in a fixed-bed column. The performance indicators include the adsorption capacity, removal efficiency, and structural characterization. The hybrid adsorbent was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify functional groups that play a role in the adsorption process and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The FTIR characterization results showed that the hybrid adsorbent was rich in functional groups such as hydroxyl (-OH), aromatic stretching (C=C), and aliphatic (C-H) groups. Meanwhile, the SEM characterization showed that the surface structure of the adsorbent tended to be honeycomb-shaped with varying pores. The adsorption test was performed in a downflow fixed-bed column under continuous operation with a total operation time of 30 minutes. Under the tested conditions (influent concentration of 100 mg/L and flow rate of 25 mL/min), 95% removal was achieved at 30 min in the fixed-bed column system, corresponding to a dynamic adsorption capacity of 11.3 mg/g. Kinetic modelling indicated that the Thomas and Yoon – Nelson models provided a better fit than the Adam-Bohart model, indicating that adsorption was primarily controlled by surface kinetics rather than intraparticle diffusion. This biomass waste-based hybrid adsorbent has the potential to be an environmentally friendly alternative for treating liquid waste containing Cu ions.
