Abstract

Patchouli oil is an important material for aromatherapy industries and made from patchouli leaves by steam distillation. The important parts of steam distillation is condenser. The problem is process of farmers patchouli based on experience not used chemical process of steam distillation cause not effective and efficient. The study was designed of condensers on steam distillation for patchouli leaves. Specification of condenser type is shell and tube, stainless steel material and water as coolant. Tubing sized is ¼ inch with 500 mm of length and 24 pieces. Shell measuring 2.5 inch and 600 mm of length. The performance of condenser gave the efficiency at 94.51%. The process condition of ratio stems to leaves is 5:6 and 4.5 hours was considered ideal for steam distillation. The used of energy is lowest cause the efficiency condenser and yield will be higher. Patchouli oil yield of 2.39% and patchouli alcohol content is 35.65%.

Abstract

Zeolit alam (NZ) telah dimodifikasi dengan penambahan asam (H-NZ) dan diaplikasikan sebagai katalis asam padat untuk green sintesis isopulehol dari minyak sereh wangi. Sintesis ini menlibatkan reaksi siklisasi sitronelal menjai disopulegol pada suhu 50 sampai 120oC. Aktivitas katalis H-NZ terbukti lebih tinggi dari katalis H-ZSM5 yang tersedia di pasar dan lebih unggul dari katalis asam padat berbasis bentonit. Perolehan terbaik sebesar 87% isopulegol diperoleh menggunakan katalis H-NZ pada 100oC selama 3 jam tanpa penggunaan pelarut reaksi.

Abstract

The development of technology and information demands elementary school teachers to be able to make and teach technology-based musical instruments so that the development of technology and information can be used in the learning process. Elementary school teachers also have problems teaching musical composition using ensemble musical instruments. Teachers also lack strategies and media to teach musical instruments, so they need to have ideas for developing technology-based musical instruments. This study aims to develop the elementary school teachers’ ability to innovate and make music learning media using a computerized system. The research design used was action research. The participants were 38 teachers from nine regencies and cities in West Java, Indonesia. The results showed that the teachers were able to complete the task of making technology-based learning media which means that they were able to develop their technological abilities to make music learning media. Teachers can easily use and master the Scratch application to make music learning media. It can be concluded that with structured and controlled training, elementary school teachers can develop themselves and innovate well.

Abstract

Bio-crude oil is known to be sustainable, eco-environmentally, and an alternative energy source produced by biomass pyrolysis. However, its quality remains relatively low due to a higher oxygen concentration compared to liquid fuels from fossils. Therefore, an upgrading process is necessary through the catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) process. This work synthesized pillared bentonite using Al and Ti metals as the pillaring agent to produce Al-PILC and Ti-PILC as catalyst support for sulfided NiMo. Their catalytic activity in HDO reaction using guaiacol as a model compound of bio-crude oil were also evaluated. Characterization of the bentonite-pillared materials, including Al-PILC, Mo/Al-PILC, NiMo/Al-PILC, Ti-PILC, Mo/Ti-PILC, and NiMo/Ti-PILC, was performed using Surface Area Analyzer, X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Temperature-Programmed Desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques. The characterization results confirm the pillarization process of bentonite using Al and Ti metals as the pillaring agent, and the preparation of the NiMo catalyst using the stepwise impregnation method was successfully prepared. The NiMo/Ti-PILC catalyst performs a superior conversion value on the HDO guaiacol reaction than other catalysts. A well dispersion of Mo and Ni metals on the surface support (NiMo/Ti-PILC), thus creating numerous active sites of the catalyst after the sulfidation. Variations in time and temperature during the HDO guaiacol reaction significantly affected the conversion.

Abstract

Ethylene glycol, a crucial compound extensively utilized in solvents, coolants, antifreeze, polyester fiber production, and as a natural gas-drying agent, can be synthesized via the hydrogenation of ethylene carbonate. In this study, the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance of Cu-Ni/SiO2 catalysts for this reaction, utilizing silica (SiO2) derived from rice husk ash, were investigated. Silica was impregnated with copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) by varying the weight ratio (Cu:Ni = 10, 7:3, 3:7, 10) to prepare bimetallic catalysts. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the presence of both Cu and Ni phases in all the catalysts. The 3Cu7Ni/SiO2 catalyst displayed the lowest reduction temperature and the largest surface area (257.97 m²/g). The 7Cu3Ni/SiO2 catalyst exhibited the highest acidity (1.91 mmol/g) and superior metal dispersion, as confirmed by the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-Ray (FE-SEM-EDX) analysis. Catalytic activity was evaluated in a batch reactor under 40 bar H2 pressure at 150 °C for 3 h with a catalyst-to-ethylene carbonate ratio of 5:1. Among the catalysts examined, the 7Cu-3Ni/SiO2 composition demonstrated the highest catalytic performance, achieving 15.14% conversion of ethylene carbonate and 80.51% selectivity towards ethylene glycol.

Abstract

Natural bentonite from Pacitan - Indonesia as a support in the preparation of Ti and Zr-pillared metal catalysts (Ti-Zr/bent) for esterification reaction were studied. The preparation of Ti-Zr/bent catalyst was prepared to find out the effect of molar ratios (Ti:Zr) where an investigation was performed in the esterification of waste cooking oil. The catalyst was varied as follows: 0.5:1 (Ti-Zr-1/bent), 1:1 (Ti-Zr-2/bent), 1.5:1 (Ti-Zr-3/bent), 2:1 (Ti-Zr-4/bent), and 5:1 (Ti-Zr-5/bent) were used to determine the yield. The reaction was carried out for 3 hours at 150°C and a pressure of 40 bar N2 gasses. The result of the Ti-Zr/bent catalyst was given increasing significantly for surface area of 133–147 m²/g compares to bentonite 27 m²/g and 10 times of acidity. The best catalyst was shown in 2:1 of ratio Ti:Zr (molar) on esterification reaction with succesfuly performed about 80.40% of yield. Copyright © 2025 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.

Abstract

Fluff tea is the residual solid waste generated in the green tea industry and holds the potential for development as a solid fuel in bio-briquettes. This study transformed fluff tea into bio-briquettes utilizing biochar produced through slow pyrolysis. The study aimed to optimize bio-briquettes production from fluff tea using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach through proximate analysis. The cylindrical bio-briquettes were produced using biochar particle sizes of 850, 500, and 150 μm, resin gum adhesive concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20%, and immersion times in cooking oil of 0, 3, and 6 minutes. The results showed that the overall response by the p-value was <0.05, and the lack of fit was insignificant (p-value >0.05). The findings indicated that the calorific value of tea fluff rose from 4,482.56 cal/g to 6,374.98 cal/g after conversion to biochar. The optimum conditions for producing tea fluff bio-briquettes were a particle size of 850 μm, adhesive concentration of 11%, and immersion time of 5 minutes. The bio-briquettes exhibited a moisture content of 3.53%, ash content of 5.65%, volatile matter of 14.75%, fixed carbon of 76.14%, calorific value of 7,796.37 cal/g, combustion rate of 0.11 g/min, density of 1.22 g/cm3, and compressive strength of 35.57 N/cm2. Most tea fluff briquettes' properties had met Indonesia's briquettes standard. The production of bio-briquettes from tea fluff waste is a viable alternative fuel for both industrial and domestic applications.
