Abstract

Biofuel is an alternative fuel that can be produced with organic resources such as vegetable oil and animal fat. One of the items that can be converted into biofuels is waste cooking oil. Waste cooking oil has a long hydrocarbon chain that allows it to be cracked. Biofuels are produced by catalytic cracking process. Catalytic cracking is a process in which complex hydrocarbon fractions are cracked into smaller, more valuable hydrocarbon. In this process natural zeolite is used by its ability on cracking hydrocarbon fractions. This research aims to get optimum condition of converting waste cooking oil to biofuels and to know the effects of temperature and reaction time on its products produced. The amount of raw materials, type of catalyst and amount of catalyst is preferred as controlled variable in this research, whereas temperature and reaction time is preferred as statistical variable. Biofuels are produced by various temperature such as 280°C-320°C and reaction time on 30 minutes-150 minutes using natural zeolite catalyst which accelerate the reactions. According to the process that has been done, this research obtained optimum process condition at the highest temperature 320°C which reviewed by its yield produced percentage in amount of 9.8147%. Based on various tested parameters including density, viscosity, flash point and GC-MS, biofuels has required the quality standard.

Abstract

Heavy metals are the main pollutant substances in the environment. Heavy metals are a type of metal with high density and are very dangerous to living organisms, especially humans. Living organisms can adsorb the bioaccumulative and sedimentation of heavy metals that settle in water. Some compounds which found in wastewater including Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), and Lead (Pb). These heavy metals cannot naturally degrade, additional processing is required before it being released into the environment. To prevent environmental pollution impacts, wastewater containing heavy metals must be handled properly and optimally. One method that can be applied for wastewater treatment is degradation by photocatalysis, utilizing the assistance of light. This research is to investigate the effect of pH and irradiation time on the degradation of Cd (cadmium), Cu (Copper), Fe (Iron), and Pb (Lead) heavy metals. To enhance the photocatalytic activity, the synthesis of ZnO-Zeolite nanocomposites was conducted. The ZnO-Zeolite nanocomposites produced were analyzed by SEM-EDX and XRD. The utilization of ZnO-Zeolite nanocomposites is deemed effective in reducing heavy metal concentrations. The degradation with Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure runs within 15-120 minutes with pH variation between 4-8. The degradation of heavy metal runs at 60 minutes and 120 minutes showing an optimum percentage removal of metals approaching 100%. The optimum pH values for Cd, Cu, Fe, and Pb are pH 8, pH 7, pH 6, and pH 8, respectively. The sequential metal degradation percentages are 98.96%, 95.43%, 96.07%, and 95.53%, respectively.

Abstract

Laboratory wastewater contains organic compounds and heavy metals, such as iron (Fe), manganese (Mg), chromium (Cr), and mercury (Hg). These pollute the environment, especially the groundwater. One alternative to process laboratory wastewater by using adsorption method. The adsorption method requires an absorbent. The waste from fish scale was reported contains chitosan and can be applied as adsorbent materials. The paper reports our preparation of chitosan from fish scales. Then, it was applied as adsorbent, and studying the effect of chitosan weight / dose, pH, and stirring time for removal of iron metals ion. The best Fe removal percentage of 99.82% was obtained by using the chitosan dose of 2 g and a stirring time of 60 minutes. The pH condition with the highest Fe removal percentage was at pH 4 (99.98%). The optimum condition then applied to laboratory wastewater. The developed strategic was able to meet the standard for water quality according to Minister of Environment Regulation No. 5 in 2014.
