Abstract

Biofuels can be produced through a conventional catalytic cracking system and/or a hybrid catalytic-plasma cracking system. This paper was focused on studying effect of Na+ ion exchange to HY-Zeolite catalyst on catalyst performance to convert palm oil into biofuels over a conventional continuous fixed bed catalytic cracking reactor and comparing the catalytic cracking performance when carried out in a continuous hybrid catalytic-plasma reactor. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Bruneuer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area methods. The biofuels product were analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine the hydrocarbons composition of biofuels product. From the results, ion exchange process of Na+ into HY-Zeolite catalyst decreases the catalyst activity due to decreasing the number of active sites caused by blocking of Na+ ion. The selectivity to gasoline ranges achieved 34.25% with 99.11% total conversion when using HY catalyst over conventional continuous fixed bed reactor system. Unfortunately, the selectivity to gasoline ranges decreased to 13.96% and the total conversion decrease slightly to 98.06% when using NaY-Zeolite catalyst. As comparison when the cracking reaction was carried out in a hybrid catalytic-plasma reactor using a spent residual catalytic cracking (RCC) catalyst, the high energetics electron from plasma can improve the reactor performance, where the conversion and yield were increased and the selectivity to lower ranges of hydrocarbons was increased. However, the last results were potential to be intensively studied with respect to relation between reactor temperature and plasma-assisted catalytic reactor parameters. Copyright © 2019 BCREC Group.

Abstract

This paper was purposed for testing reusability and stability of calcium oxide-based catalyst (K2O/CaO-ZnO) over transesterification reaction of soybean oil with methanol to produce biodiesel. The K2O/CaO-ZnO catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method of calcium and zinc nitrates followed by impregnation of potassium nitrate. The fresh and used catalysts were tested after regeneration. The catalysts were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and BET Surface Area in order to compare the catalyst structure between the fresh and used catalysts. The catalyst testing in transesterification proses was carried out at following operating conditions, i.e. catalyst weight of 6 wt.%, oil to methanol mole ratio of 1:15, and temperature of 60 oC. In addition, metal oxide leaching of K2O/CaO-ZnO catalyst during reaction was also tested. From the results, the catalysts exhibited high catalytic activity (80% fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) yield after three-cycles of usage) and acceptable reusability after regeneration. The catalyst also showed acceptable stability of catalytic activity, even after three-cycles of usage.

Abstract

Drought known as ‘silent killer’—unpredictable slow-moving hazard which cause severe damage to people and environment. Since agriculture is the first and foremost sector affected by drought, the risk of crop failure can be minimized by reducing vulnerability. Climate patterns can be considered as systematic conditions which are capable of assigning sensitivity regions to drought. Here, the study employs Oldeman’s Agro Climatic data as physical vulnerability indicator to assess and monitor the vulnerability of agriculture system to drought in East Java. The study used long-term monthly rainfall observation data to generate climatic map accompanied with socio-economic indicators to assess vulnerability of region to drought. Spatial distribution of vulnerability was mapped using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) combined with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results show there are five categories of vulnerability to drought: very high, high, moderate, low, and very low based on standardized index. Madura Island, particularly Bangkalan, Sampang, and Sumenep considered as most vulnerable region to drought. In addition, most regions in the north plain of East Java, including Tuban, Lamongan, and Gresik categorized as highly vulnerable to drought. Factors affecting vulnerability are mostly related to drier climate which affect acreage and availability of irrigation. The socio-economic factors likewise smallholder farmers and poverty contribute to rising vulnerability level. South part of East Java, particularly Tulungagung and Blitar Regency was least vulnerable because of appropriate climate which induced to acreage of irrigated land. The study emphasizes the utilizing of Oldeman climate pattern as primary indicator in determining vulnerable regions. Smallholder farmers and poverty causing vulnerability in agriculture emerged as priority for further study. The results can provide new insights into drought management for most vulnerable regions by considering local climatic characteristics.

Abstract

Reactive distillation (RD) holds promise for process intensification in biodiesel production since it integrates reaction and separation. It simplifies the process and enhances the conversion of the equilibrium limited reactions. To ensure the stability in RD operation, sensitivity study and process control simulation are necessary. In this work, RD was employed for free fatty acid (FFA) esterification of mixed non edible oils in biodiesel synthesis. Non edible oils used were waste cooking oil, crude jatropha oil, and crude nyamplung oil (Calophyllum inophyllum L). Simulation was conducted using ASPEN Plus V8.8. Sensitivity study was carried out to determine the effects of the operating condition alteration. A dynamic simulation was performed as a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller tuning. It was revealed that the highest FFA conversion was 85%, achieved at the feed stage of 7, distillate rate of 0.22 kmol/hr, and oil to methanol molar ratio of 1:5. Level, pressure and temperature controls were installed in RD. Then, a dynamic simulation was applied as a PID controller tuning. Three different controller tuning methods, viz. Ziegler-Nichols, Cohen-Coon, and Internal Model Control, were studied. The best PID parameter was obtained by using Cohen-Coon method which provided fastest rise time, lowest settling time and lowest overshoot.

Abstract

Education is very important nowadays. Education plays an important role in improving human resources. Children are asked to be able to understand various sciences well, one of which is geometry in mathematics lessons. However, there are still many children who have difficulty getting a decent education, especially children with intellectual disabilities. This article aims to review effective learning methods for students with intellectual disabilities in understanding geometric material and being able to apply it in solving problems in real life contexts. One branch of mathematics that needs to be studied in depth is geometry. Since childhood, we have started to recognize objects that actually use geometric shapes. These objects are even simple objects that we often encounter around us. Apart from knowing the shapes and formulas in geometry, we are also expected to be able to apply geometry in everyday life. Students with intellectual disabilities are expected to have numerical abilities in solving geometry problems. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method by describing and analyzing data related to the discussion. Students with intellectual disabilities need learning media that can be more interactive and can increase understanding and creativity in thinking. By using artificial intelligence teachers can develop more effective learning media for students.

Abstract

The Metaphorical Thinking approach in learning mathematics algebra material in the Independent Curriculum provides students with a more meaningful experience of the understanding process because they can see, form and map mathematical concepts to experiential concepts to practice solving everyday life problems in Algebraic form. This research is a library research study supported by interviews at SMP Negeri 3 Sampit. The research was carried out by collecting data from various sources regarding the difficulties of Phase D (SMP) students in algebra material and the metaphorical thinking approach to see the achievement of meaningful understanding of mathematics. With the characteristics of Metaphorical Thinking, students can carry out mathematical problem-solving activities, especially algebraic mathematical problems, so as to find meaningful understanding. Then carry out data analysis using descriptive analysis to determine the effect of the metaphorical thinking approach on the daily life problem solving abilities of phase D students in algebra material.
