Abstract

Phenol formaldehyde is one of the adhesives often used in wood processing, such as panels, particle boards, fiberboards, plywood, and others. However, the implementation of phenol formaldehyde adhesive has been greatly limited because of its non-renewability and toxicity. Modifying phenol formaldehyde adhesives is needed to reduce formaldehyde emission by adding tannin to the adhesive mixture. This study aims to extract tannin compounds from Java plum leaves with ethanol as a solvent for adhesive mixture. The adhesive implementation on plywood was also prepared, with various tannin content in the range of 10%-50%. The obtained data from tannin extraction from Java plum leaves are tannin yield, functional groups, total phenolic content, viscosity, and compressive test on plywood. The highest tannin yield and content are 46.70% and 27.88 mg/L, respectively, obtained at the weight ratio 1:5. At the same time, products of tannin-phenol formaldehyde have a viscosity as SNI 1987 standards for wood adhesives, namely in the range of 0.68-0.71 poise, while the result of the compressive strength is in the range of 0.02-0.05 N/mm2 and has met the requirement of SNI 1998 standards. Therefore, the tannin from Java plum leaves is a promising substitution of phenol in phenol formaldehyde in some aspects of the wood processing industry.

Abstract

Recently, Polyethersulfone (PES) polymer material based on flat sheet membranes reached much attention in membrane technology. However, PES polymer has low hydrophilicity. This study describes PES-based membranes incorporating fly ash as an additive. The first analysis was conducted by Fourier Transform Infrared, Scanning Electron Microscope, tensile strength, and porosity tests. Four membranes, including pure PES membranes, were prepared via the phase inversion process, namely MA0, MA0.1, MA1, and MS1. The characteristics of the membrane samples were analyzed in terms of chemical group, morphology, mechanical and membrane surface hydrophilicity. The characterization results show that additive incorporation increased pure water flux performance, and the highest pure water permeability increased up to 70% by the MA1 membrane. Moreover, it increased by 19% compared to pure silica-modified PES membrane (MS1). In addition, the MA-1 membrane at a pressure of 3 bar reached significant performance in the trend of pure water flux values because of these improvements in membrane characteristics. The membrane also shows a higher tensile strength with adding additives to the membrane prepared.

Abstract

Microcrystalline cellulose was first extracted from pineapple crown leaf waste which is used very rarely as an alternative material from agricultural residue and then characterized. Microcrystalline cellulose was extracted from this waste through acid hydrolysis with various concentrations. The effect of acidconcentrations with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) on microcrystalline cellulose properties was investigated to determine its potential application as a material. Pineapple crown leaf was hydrolyzed for 2 hours at 45 along with various sulfuric acid concentrations (1, 2, and 3 M). The properties of the cellulose were evaluated by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Among all the hydrolysis conditions carried out, the best hydrolysis condition was 3 M sulfuric acid. At this hydrolysis condition, the microcrystalline cellulose presented a rod-like shape, high crystallinity at 83.16%, and have average crystal size of 17.99 nm. The functional group and morphology analysis showed that the resulted product is maintained cellulose I structure and removal of non-cellulosic constituents and the chemical compositions. As for the thermal analysis, the temperature decreased from 177 (2 M sulfuric acid) to 149 (3 M sulfuric acid) because of the incorporation of sulfate groups after the hydrolysis process. Therefore, microcrystalline cellulose obtained from pineapple crown leaf waste has great potential as reinforcement in the manufacture of composites.

Abstract

Minyak goreng adalah bahan konsumsi yang penting dalam rumah tangga dan industri makanan. Sayangnya, sering digunakan berulang kali karena mahal. Tindakan ini mungkin tidak hanya berbahaya bagi kesehatan manusia, tetapi juga mempengaruhi nilai gizi dan mengurangi kualitas makanan. Kualitas reduksi ditunjukkan dengan meningkatnya jumlah peroksida dan jumlah asam lemak. Penelitian ini menggunakan membran PES yang dimodifikasi dengan penambahan karbon aktif dari kulit biji jarak sebagai aditif untuk mengurangi fouling dalam minyak goreng olahan. Membran diproduksi dengan metode presipitasi perendaman. Sementara, karbon diaktivasi dengan larutan KOH 0,1% dan dipanaskan dalam furnace pada temperatur 600oC.Membran dan karbon aktif dianalisis menggunakan metode FTIR. Analisis SEM menghasilkan membran asimetris dengan lapisan atas berpori dan lapisan bawah padat. Tiga campuran dalam penelitian ini dibuat dengan melarutkan PES yang dimodifikasi dengan karbon aktif pada 0%,3%, dan 5% (b/b) dalam N-methylpirrolidone. Pada penambahan karbon aktif 5% (b/b) dalam campuran membran menghasilkan koefisien permeabilitas tertinggi (L/P) sebesar 9,682 L m2bar-1h-1, pengurangan bilangan peroksida adalah 45% dan pengurangan asam lemak bebas adalah 72% dapat tercapai.

Abstract

Asymmetric ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were prepared from three kinds of polymer namely polyacrilonitryle (PAN), polysufone (PS), and cellulose acetate (CA) by phase inversion method. Water was used as non-solvent. These membranes were charachterized for ultrafiltration membranes i.e measurement of solvent permeability (Lp), Molecular Weight Cut Off membranes (MWCO) with various molecular weight of solute dekstran, and morphology of the membrane by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). SEM analysis includes surface area and cross section area. Membranes with polymer low concentration 10% as PAN-1, PS-1 and CA-1 have the larger Lp from PAN-2, PS-2, and CA-2 that have concentration 15% for the same type of polymer. These occur because of the larger pore membrane than high concentration of polymer. SEM analysis showed a homogeneous distribution in the surface membrane and pore of membran like sponge structure from cross section area. Membranes CA-1, CA-2, FS-1 and FS-2 have Molecular Weight Cut off (MWCO) for the solute dextran 40000 Da. For PS-2 and PS-2 membranes have MWCO of dextran above 20000 Da.Keywords: ultrafiltration membrane, solvent permeability coeficient, MWCO, membrane morphology

Abstract

Teungoh Geunteut Village is one of the enormous patchouli cultivation centers in Aceh. The high quality of the patchouli oil produced creates great potential for the community to carry out agriculture. However, the large number of patchouli farmers in Teungoh Geunteut Village has resulted in a massive accumulation of patchouli waste thrown out from distillation using steam boilers. The patchouli waste has not yet been utilized properly, resulting in environmental problems. To overcome the uncontrolled accumulation of patchouli waste, PKM-PM teams took the initiative to utilize the patchouli waste into compost plus fertilizer. Compost plus fertilizer can overcome environmental problems and be an alternative solution to replace the undersupply of subsidized fertilizer the government provides. Producing compost plus fertilizer can be enhanced by adding bio silica from rice husk ash. Bio silica contained in rice husk ash has an important role in absorbing the nutrients plants need to initiate quality compost plus fertilizer. The service activities were carried out in August-September 2023 in Teungoh Genteut Village on one of the residents' lands. In carrying out this activity, the team carried out 3 series of stages, namely: (1) socialization on making compost plus fertilizer, (2) direct practice on making solid and liquid compost plus fertilizer, and (3) packaging compost plus fertilizer. The results achieved in this activity are solid and liquid compost fertilizer products that can be used as commercial materials to improve the economy of the Teungoh Geunteut community. Apart from that, this service activity can be used as a forum to increase residents' knowledge and understanding regarding the processing of agricultural waste into compost and techniques for marketing strategies.
