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

Biodiesel is an alternative biofuel that can replace diesel oil without requiring modifications to the engine and advantageously produces cleaner emissions. Biodiesel can be produced through transesterification process between oil or fat and alcohol to form esters and glycerol. The transesterification can be carried out with or without a catalyst. The catalyzed production of biodiesel can be performed by using homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzyme. Meanwhile, non-catalytic transesterification with supercritical alcohol provides a new way of producing biodiesel. Microwave and ultrasound assisted transesterification significantly can reduce reaction time as well as improve product yields. Another process, a plasma technology is promising for biodiesel synthesis from vegetable oils due to very short reaction time, no soap formation and no glycerol as a by-product. This paper reviews briefly the technologies on transesterification reaction for biodiesel production using homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzyme catalysts, as well as advanced methods (supercritical, microwave, ultrasonic, and plasma technology). Advantages and disadvantages of each method were described comprehensively.

Abstract

Preliminary testing of hybrid catalytic-plasma reactor for biodiesel production through transesterification of soybean oil with methanol over modified-carbon catalyst was investigated. This research focused on synergetic roles of non-thermal plasma and catalysis in the transesterification process. The amount of modified-carbon catalyst with grain size of 1.75 mm was placed into fixed tubular reactor within discharge zone. The discharge zone of the hybrid catalytic-plasma reactor was defined in the volume area between high voltage and ground electrodes. Weight Hourly Space Velocity (WHSV) of 1.85 h-1 of reactant feed was studied at reaction temperature of 65 oC and at ambient pressure. The modified-carbon catalyst was prepared by impregnation of active carbon within H2SO4 solution followed by drying at 100 oC for overnight and calcining at 300 oC for 3 h. It was found that biodiesel yield obtained using the hybrid catalytic-plasma reactor was 92.39% and 73.91% when using active carbon and modified-carbon catalysts, respectively better than without plasma. Therefore, there were synergetic effects of non-thermal plasma and catalysis roles for driving the transesterification process.

Abstract

Small electroplating industry is a small industry that is widely available in the city of Semarang. The mainprocesses in the electroplating industry are located in the coating process. This process occurs in theelectroplating bath. The quality of the metal coating is highly dependent on the quality of the chemicalsolution contained in the electroplating bath. If the chemical solution has good quality, such as the solutionwas clear, there are no impurities, the quality of the coating is also good. If the quality of the chemicalsolution is not good, then the results of the coating are also inferior such as there are bubbles in the layer, orthere is dirt on the die so that the coating process must be repeated. This will add to the cost of productionand a coating time so that increases operational costs. To solve this problem we need a system that canproduce a chemical solution that has good quality, clear, and there are no impurities. This system is calledthe filter electroplating. Results of electroplating filter application showed to increase the quantity andquality of production. The production capacity increased by 30% per day. The production turnover up 35%and profits increased by 45%. The chemical solution becomes clear and does not contain impurities so thatthe coating results becomes good.

Abstract

Biodiesel has become more attractive recently because of its environmental benefits and the fact that it is made from renewable resources. Biodiesel can replace diesel oil without requiring modifications to the engine and advantageously produces cleaner emissions. Productions of biodiesel by various process methods, i.e. homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzyme catalysts, have advantages and disadvantages. Advanced methods, such as supercritical, microwave, and ultrasonic, still leave the problem despite the high yield of biodiesel produced. Utilizing of fixed bed catalytic reactor in a continuous process can produce biodiesel with a yield of higher than 90%. The newly developed plasma technology can produce biodiesel in a very short time (120 s) with mild operating conditions. This paper reviews briefly the literatures on transesterification reaction using homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzyme catalysts as well as advanced methods (supercritical, microwave, ultrasonic, and plasma technology).

Abstract

Di kota Semarang terdapat beberapa UKM penghasil sambal seafood, diantaranya UKM Winafood dan Sambal Sedep Oma yang merupakam UKM mitra bagi program pengabdian masyarakat IbPUD. Kedua UKM sudah mempunyai nomer PIRT dan sertifikasi halal sehingga mempunyai potensi untuk meningkatkan kapasitas dan memperluas daerah pemasaran. Namun potensi ini terbentur kendala dalam proses produksinya. Proses penggilingan merupakan tahapan yang penting dalam persiapan bahan baku pada produksi sambal. Kedua UKM masih menggunakan peralatan skala rumah tangga dalam persiapan bahan bakunya sehingga kapasitasnya sangat terbatas. Selama ini penggilingan bahan baku dilakukan menggunakan chopper rumah tangga yang berukuran kecil kapasitas 250 g. Sehingga jika membuat sambal dari 5-6 kg cabai dan bumbu-bumbu dengan rasio yang hampir sama dengan cabai, diperlukan preparasi yang lama. Untuk mengatasi masalah pada UKM mitra tersebut, maka tim pengusul merencanakan perbaikan baik pada proses produksi dalam bentuk mekanisasi alat penggiling bahan baku berbentuk screw yang digerakan dengan motor. Alat ini mempunyai 2 ukuran hasil luaran untuk menyesuaikan dengan spesifikasi kehalusan cabai maupun bumbu yang digiling. Alat ini mampu mereduksi waktu produksi dari 8-9 jam menjadi 6-7 jam. Meskipun meningkatkan efektifitas waktu produksinya, pada kapasitas produksi 5-6 kg cabai, alat ini belum memberi peningkatan keuntungan yang berarti.Kata kunci: penggiling cabai, sambal seafood, UKM Sambal sedep Oma, UKM Winafood

Abstract

Energy demand will increase along with the increase in population. The current energy demand is dominated by non-renewable energy as it could reduce dependence on fossil energy sources; hence, it is imperative to be developed. Biodiesel with waste cooking oil as its raw material is one of the renewable energies currently being developed. Catalyst can be utilized to improve the quality of biodiesel product and process. The major content in solid waste of geothermal power plant is silica oxide, while dolomite contains magnesium oxide and calcium oxide. This study aims to test the MgO-CaO/SiO2 catalyst performance from geothermal waste and dolomite in biodiesel production. The results of catalyst characterization based on FTIR, SEM, and BET tests indicates a successful impregnation method in MgO-CaO/SiO2 catalyst production. The result shows that the best variable to produce biodiesel is at the ratio of MgO-CaO: SiO2 is 15:85. The conversion of biodiesel using this variable is 92.63%. The overall results of biodiesel obtained in this study have a good quality and is in accordance with SNI 7182-2015.
