Abstract

The processing of limestone through the combustion process will cause air pollution at the combustion site and its surroundings. At the limestone processing site, Padalarang experiences relatively high air pollution. PM2.5 is one of the main pollutants produced by limestone burning, so it is very necessary to study the concentration of PM2.5 in the air in Padalarang and its surroundings. This study was conducted in Padalarang and its surroundings, where data collection was carried out in five locations, namely at the center of limestone burner, 1 km, 2 km, 3 km, and 4 km to the east of the burning center. Data collection was carried out for ten days, where each data collection was carried out for 12 hours, from 07.00 to 19.00. Based on the national standard of PPRI No. 22 of 2021, which is 55 µg/m3, the concentration in the limestone burning center and 1 km from burning center have exceeded the standard, which is 82.5 and 69.3 µg/m3. While PM2.5 concentrations at distances of 2 km, 3 km, and 4 km are below the national standard, namely 52.0, 51.6 and 50.2 µg/m3, respectively. Based on the Air Quality Index (AQI), the AQI at the burning center, distance of 1 km, 2 km, 3 km, and 4 km are Unhealthy, Unhealthy, Moderate, Moderate and Moderate, respectively. This means that areas less than 1 km away are not healthy places to live. The poor air quality in Padalarang is reflected in the much higher number of ARI cases compared to the surrounding sub-districts that do not have a limestone industry.

Abstract

The electrocoagulation method has been proven to be highly effective in removing metal ions from water, with a removal efficiency of over 97%. However, in terms of removing organic pollutants such as synthetic dyes, the efficiency of electrocoagulation is still relatively low. A hybrid approach combining electrocoagulation with membrane filtration has been proposed to enhance the removal of organic contaminants. Eco-friendly membranes made from renewable natural polymers like carrageenan and chitosan, reinforced with synthetic polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol and carbon nanotubes, have shown to be promising for this application. In this study, membranes with varying chitosan/carrageenan ratios of 0.2, 0.33, 0.5, and 0.71 (g/g) were used to remove synthetic dyes, including methylene blue, rhodamine B, bromocresol purple, and murexid, at a concentration of 200 ppm from 8.5 ml of water. From the SEM images, the four membranes have almost the same surface and cross-section morphology. The results showed that the membrane with a chitosan/carrageenan ratio of 0.71 exhibited the highest removal efficiency for all synthetic dyes. The parameter affecting the membrane’s removal efficiency is the interaction between the membrane and synthetic dyes. Murexid, an anionic dye, achieved a 100% removal efficiency, surpassing cationic dyes such as rhodamine B and methylene blue. Besides interactions, the dye’s molecular size determines the removal’s efficiency. The molecular size of rhodamine B is larger than that of methylene blue, and the removal efficiency of rhodamine B (98.4%) is greater than methylene blue (91%). Bromocresol purple is almost the same size as rhodamine B but not ionic because it has the lowest removal efficiency of 34.55%.

Abstract

This research investigates the use of condensate produced by the evaporator to cool the discharge and liquid lines in order to reduce electricity consumption in a residential split-type air conditioner (AC). The experimental setup used a 0.75 kW compressor with R32 refrigerant, where the discharge and liquid line heat exchangers were 20 cm and 15 cm long, respectively. Data were collected over 180 minutes at 5-minute intervals. Results show that using the liquid line cooler (LLC) alone reduced electricity consumption by 5.3% and increased cooling capacity by 2.3%. Using the discharge line cooler (DLC) alone reduced electricity consumption by 8.3% and increased cooling capacity by 7.3%. When both coolers were applied simultaneously (LDC mode), electricity consumption decreased by 10.9% and cooling capacity increased by 9.7%. The corresponding improvements in coefficient of performance (COP) were 9.1% (LLC), 18.6% (DLC), and 24.7% (LDC). These results indicate that using condensate to both the discharge and liquid lines is more effective in reducing electricity consumption and improving AC performance than cooling only one line.
