Abstract

The first stage of this research was to make polystyrene grafted with maleic anhydride for making the couping agent with other filling compound. In the second stage, the polystyrene matrix grafted with maleic anhydride was combined with filler material derived from palm oil mill waste using the dry mixing method with an internal mixer. Among several variables tested, the optimum composition of the polymer composite was found to be Polystyrene grafted with maleic anhydride: sludge: boiler ash in a ratio of 60:25:15. This composition exhibited a Young's modulus of 856.752 MPa, a tensile strength of 6.057 MPa, and an elongation at break of 0.775%. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) testing revealed a glass transition temperature of 403.22°C, a crystallization temperature of 426.39°C, and a cross-linking indication temperature of 478.64°C. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) tests showed an even distribution of the material. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy indicated a decrease in absorption peaks at 3024.94 cm⁻¹ and 3025.15 cm⁻¹, while the polystyrene characteristics at the wave number 1600.57 cm⁻¹ appeared sharper. The sound absorption test results met the ISO 11654:1997 standard for the rating level of sound absorption coefficient in materials, achieving Class D and C sound absorption with an αₙₓ value ranging from 0.328 to 0.793.

Abstract

The recent application of palm empty fruit bunches as solid waste directly on soil or as organic fertilizer has enhanced palm farms. Moreover, the co-products of this palm oil mill constitute a dependable metric for assessing mill processing performance, specifically regarding quantity and weight. The quantity of palm empty fruit bunches is usually ascertained through manual counting using a hand counter during processing. The imprecision in calculating palm empty fruit bunches is a limitation of this method, as operators sometimes perform erroneous calculations, overlook quantities, and produce contradictory results for mill management. To address this issue, the sector requires enhanced execution of a monitoring and counting system methodology. The aim of this community service project is to create an empty fruit bunches count station using an IoTbased palm solid waste counting system for use in palm mills. The Ministry of Industry - Politeknik Teknologi Kimia Industri (PTKI) Medan will engage in and oversee the advancement of Industry 4.0 within the industrial sector. The initiative was executed at Tanah Gambus Estate in Batubara Regency, North Sumatra. Assistance was provided by a palm mill partner associated with PT. Socfin Indonesia. The implementation of the empty fruit bunches palm oil counting system was conducted efficiently, facilitating optimal operations, real–time online monitoring, uninterrupted functionality exceeding 24 hours daily, swift assessment of the empty fruit bunches volume, immediate identification of traditional counting inaccuracies by operators and management, and its station provides benefits to the palm industry.

Abstract

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengisolasi dan mengidentifikasi bakteri lipolitik pada pitch gliserin limbah industri oleokimia. Sampel pitch gliserin diambil, dimasukkan dan dicampur ke dalam larutan NaCl 98%, kemudian pitch gliserin di dalam bellyer kemudian diusap secara steril ke dalam media Brain Heart Infusion (BHI), kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam inkubator shaker dengan kecepatan 200 rpm dan diinkubasi selama 24 jam, kemudian ditanam pada media agar dengan menggunakan spread plate, kemudian media diinkubasi kembali selama 24 jam pada suhu 370C. Koloni yang tumbuh pada media dihitung jumlah koloni bakterinya, diidentifikasi dengan pewarnaan gram dan uji biokimia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata pertumbuhan koloni bakteri sebesar 24 x 104 CFU/mL, hasil pewarnaan gram menunjukkan gram positif dan adanya aktivitas bakteri lipolitik pada uji biokimia.

Abstract

Empty Fruit Bunches of Oil Palm (EFB) represent one of the most problematic biomass wastes in Indonesia due to their massive volume, inefficient management, and underutilization of their chemical potential, leading to significant environmental, economic, and technical impacts. The degradation or processing of such large-scale waste generally requires a long period of time. This study focuses on converting the cellulose content in EFB into dialdehyde cellulose (DAC), which can be applied as a wet strength agent. The aim is to reduce EFB waste by isolating cellulose from EFB biomass and subsequently converting it into DAC, which can be utilized as a wet strength additive in paper or tissue products. The oxidation of EFB cellulose into DAC was optimized using sodium periodate (NaIO₄) as the oxidizing agent, with varying reaction times of 3, 6, and 9 hours. The synthesized DAC was qualitatively analyzed using the Fehling’s test and solubility observations, followed by functional group identification via FTIR and morphological characterization using SEM. Among the samples, DAC-6 exhibited the most optimal characteristics, with a degree of oxidation reaching 82.1% and a carbonyl content of 52.8%. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of carbonyl functional groups in all DAC samples, indicating successful oxidation of hydroxyl groups in cellulose. DAC-6 showed the most prominent carbonyl absorption peak at a wavenumber of 1748 cm⁻¹.
