Abstract

Biogas is a renewable energy source with great potential to replace fossil fuels; however, the presence of CO? and H?S reduces its quality and combustion efficiency, making purification necessary. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CO? absorption using Bittern and alkaline solutions (3N KOH, 3N NaOH) with absorbent volumes ranging from 600 to 1000 ml. The absorption process was carried out in a bubble column, and the gas composition was analyzed using an Orsat apparatus and titration method. The results indicated that increasing absorbent volume reduced CO? concentration to 10–15% and H?S to below 1.2%, while increasing CH? content to more than 80%, in accordance with SNI 8019:2014 biogas standards. Stepwise absorption (Bittern–KOH/NaOH) was more effective than single absorbents, yielding up to 87% CH? and reducing CO? to 10%. XRF analysis of the precipitate showed calcium (84.58%) and magnesium (14%) dominance, confirming carbonate and sulfate precipitation. These findings demonstrate that Bittern and alkaline solutions are effective absorbents for biogas purification, with stepwise absorption providing the most optimal improvement in biogas quality.

Abstract

Ceramic industrial waste contains organic compounds and several heavy metals that exceed the quality standards of ceramic industrial wastewater, therefore the wastewater is treated using the coagulation method. This study uses a coagulant Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) with the aim to determine the effect of coagulant mass and stirring time on reducing the content of COD, TSS, lead metal (Pb), and colour. Starting with the waste mixed with PAC has been diluted with a concentration of 1%. Then stirred using a flocculator with a speed of 100 rpm and time (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 minutes) to form floc. Then it is deposited and separated between the filtrate and the solids. Then the filtrate was analysed. With this analysis, it can be seen that the highest reduction efficiency of TSS levels was 99.9% with a coagulant volume of 12.5 ml at 6 minutes. The highest efficiency of COD levels was obtained at 98.23% with a coagulant volume of 15 ml at 6 minutes. The highest efficiency of waste colour reduction was 99.85% with a coagulant volume of 15 ml at 10 minutes and the efficiency of reducing Pb levels was 99.10% with a coagulant volume of 5ml at 2 minutes, all of which were below the quality standard ceramic industry.

Abstract

This article discusses the development of a prototype spray pipe evaporator and its efficiency in producing salt in Indonesia. Due to the length of the salt harvesting season in Indonesia, many salt farmers have closed their business doors, leaving many salt ponds abandoned. The spray pipe evaporator prototype was designed to produce a brine solution with a salinity of 23–24 Be from seawater, which has a salinity of 2.5–3.5 Be, in less than 3 days. This is faster than the conventional process of a brine solution salinity of 24 Be. The prototype spray pipe evaporator was assessed in a 20 x 60 m evaporation pool with a depth of 18 cm that contained brine solution with a salinity of 15.5 Be. The number of sprays installed was 11. The salinity increased from 15.5 Be to 20.5 Be after 8.5 hr of evaporation. Meanwhile, with conventional evaporation, the salinity of the brine solution reaches 16.5 Be after 3 days of evaporation. Based on calculations of the evaporation capacity for 11 sprays, it was determined that each spray can evaporate 7.6 m3 of water. A spray pipe evaporator is thus more recommended for evaporation of seawater with a salinity of around 3–5 Be. The ratio of evaporation ponds using spray to evaporation ponds without spray is around 1:15. The technical development conducted in this study improved the evaporation process through spraying, which is applicable for salt pond farming and the salt industry. This technology arguably saves energy for pumps and reduces the number of workers, thus benefitting the salt farmers’ communities in tropical contexts, such as Indonesia.

Abstract

Spent bleaching earth with an oil content exceeding 3% is classified as hazardous and toxic waste, requiring appropriate processing prior to environmental disposal. Extraction is one effective method for processing spent bleaching earth. This study focuses on the optimization of oil extraction from spent bleaching earth using acetone as a solvent, specifically analyzing the effects of solvent concentration and reflux ratio on oil recovery efficiency and evaluating the quality of recovered bleaching earth for potential reuse in vegetable oil refining processes. The extraction method employed was soxhlet extraction using acetone as the solvent. Five different acetone concentrations (50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%) were tested in combination with five reflux ratios (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6), creating a total of 25 experimental conditions. Response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to optimize these parameters and identify the ideal conditions for maximum oil recovery. The experimental design and statistical analysis were conducted using Design Expert 13.0.5.0 software. The quality of recovered bleaching earth was assessed against Indonesian National Standards (SNI) for potential reuse applications. The optimization results indicated optimal conditions of 69.15% acetone concentration and a reflux ratio of 4, yielding a maximum oil recovery rate of 17.52%. Analysis of the recovered bleaching earth showed that while it met most SNI standards for bleaching earth quality parameters, the pH remained acidic (below neutral), indicating that alkaline pretreatment would be necessary before the material could be effectively reused in vegetable oil bleaching processes. The study demonstrates that acetone-based soxhlet extraction can effectively recover oil from spent bleaching earth while producing a secondary product suitable for reuse after appropriate pH adjustment.

Abstract

This research investigates the fabrication and characterization regarding silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) utilizing essential oil derived from citronella leaves (Cymbopogon nardus L.) as a bioreductant. The synthesis method employed is sonochemistry, with variations in pH levels to determine optimal conditions for AgNPs yield. The use of essential oil as a bioreductant offers eco-friendly advantages and high efficiency in reducing metal ions. The results indicate that the highest yield of 8.67% was achieved at pH 9.0280 and 59.7190 minutes of sonochemical processing. Statistical optimization of processing parameters was conducted to maximize the yield of AgNPs, with the optimization process analyzed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The sequence of experimental runs, condition variations, and obtained results were determined using the Central Composite Design (CCD). The model demonstrates a strong correlation with the experimental data, exhibiting an adjusted R² value of 0.9684. A high F-value of 30.61 and a low p-value of 0.0009 suggest that the regression model is statistically significant and effectively accounts for variations in AgNPs yield. The lack-of-fit value for the model is 0.0359, indicating no significant discrepancy between the experimental data and the model's predicted values. The successful formation of AgNPs was confirmed, with absorption peaks observed within the 400–450 nm range.
