Abstract

Kegiatan pengilangan minyak bumi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan bahan bakar menghasilkan limbah cair emulsi minyak-air. Pengolahan limbah emulsi minyak-air dengan metode konvensional belum mampu untuk menerapkan prinsip reuse dan recycle karena hasil pengolahan limbah hanya dibuang ke perairan. Selain itu, proses konvensional menimbulkan produk samping berupa sludge yang tidak diinginkan.Membran ultrafiltrasi telah banyak digunakan untuk pengolahan limbah berminyak. Pada penelitian ini digunakan umpan model limbah emulsi minyak dengan fasa terdispersi berupa minyak pelumas, bensin dan solar.Fasa kontinu adalah air, sedangkan surfaktan adalah sebagai mediator.Minyak pelumas, bensin dan solar digunakan untuk mewakili limbah kilang minyak bumi yang berasal dari kolom-kolom distilasi serta limbah yang berasal dari utility plant, misalnya limbah bahan bakar solar.Penggunaan model limbah pengilangan bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih detail tentang kinerja membran ultrafiltrasi untuk pengolahan limbah emulsi minyak bumi. Pengujian kinerja membran ultrafiltrasi dilakukan dengan mengetahui profil fluks dan rejeksi. Karakterisasi membran menunjukkan bahwa membran polyethersulfone yang digunakan merupakan membran ultrafiltrasi asimetrik dengan permeabilitas 17,32 (l/m2.jam.bar). Profil fluks emulsi bensin, minyak pelumas dan solar menunjukkan bahwa penurunan fluks bensin yang tertinggi. Selain itu dapat dilihat bahwa membran polyethersulfone yang digunakan mampu merejeksi COD sebesar 98% dan minyak sebesar 98% untuk umpan emulsi bensin. Untuk emulsi minyak pelumas, 94% COD dan 99% minyak dapat direjeksi, sedangkan untuk umpan emulsi minyak solar, rejeksi COD sebesar 90% dan rejeksi minyak sebesar 98%.

Abstract

Rotating membrane emulsification (RMR) has been intensively developed and applied for producing emulsion as well as particulate products such as microcapsules. Polyurea microcapsules were generally prepared by interfacial polycondensation polymerisation with addition of modifier to produce more stable microcapsules. In this research, development of the RMR was applied for producing polymer particles stabilised by nanoparticle without any addition of surfactant or modifier. Two types of membrane pores, the square (Type-A) with hydraulic diameter (Dh) of 84 mm and oblong pores with an aspect ratio of 0.33 (Type-B) having Dh of 69 mm was investigated. For the membranes designed in this research, pore shape A membrane could produce good uniformity in both polyurea microcapsule and polymer particle. In the polymer stabilised particle, this membrane type obtained a narrower size distribution than the usage for o/w emulsification. Reasonable uniform particles at high membrane rotation speed could also be achieved with the use of Type-A membrane. The uniformity confirmed that there was only minor breakup of products during operation at high membrane rotation. This attractive feature was significant in the production of fragile or shear-sensitive particulate products since the delicate structure of these products is possibly easy to destroy at high membrane rotation speed.  Keywords: polyurea microcapsules; particles stabilised nanoparticles; slotted pore

Abstract

Iron microencapsulation is one of the solutions to protect iron from reacting with other substances that result in quality declines of fortified food products. The coating materials used should be appropriate for the specified encapsulation process. This study combined glucomannan and maltodextrin as coating materials and added HPMC as an additive to encapsulate NaFeEDTA. The results showed that such a combination could increase the encapsulation efficiency. The morphologies of the resulting microcapsules obtained from four formulations applied in this study were identical; numerous wrinkles appear on the particle’s surfaces due to the presence of HPMC. All formulations had a narrow size distribution with an average particle size between 105 and 111 µm, thermal resistance up to a temperature of ± 200°C, and the same functional groups but with different intensities. The NaFeEDTA included in all formulations had a bioavailability value of 2.3 - 2.9%. The best formulation, based on the gastrointestinal digestion simulation, was shown by the formulation with a glucomannan:maltodextrin ratio of 2:3 (in 1% w/v coating material) with a release percentage of 64.28% in SGF solution and an increase of 2.27% in SIF solution. To prevent anemia, ± 400 mg of iron microcapsules resulting from the best formulation in this study are required to meet 75% of the daily intake.
