Abstract

POME is a kind of liquid waste produced by the crude palm oil industry. POME was not treated adequately, resulting in an issue for the environment owing to excessive levels of COD and BOD. Algae is a kind of bio-absorbent that may neutralize contaminants in liquid waste. Microalgae need carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus-containing ingredients to flourish. These nutrients are necessary for photosynthetic carbon sources to be converted into biomass. POME includes a high concentration of C, N, and P; hence this research aims to investigate the potential of POME as a medium for the development of algae such as Spirulina, Nannochloropsis, and Chlorella. The experiment was carried out by varying the nutrients, water type, and time of nutrient feeding. Urea and sodium bicarbonate were the nutrition. Preparing the medium, culturing the microalgae, assessing biomass, counting the algae cells, and creating a calibration curve were the procedures in the experiment. The findings revealed that POME is the best medium for microalgae, that Spirulina grows better in POME than Chlorella and Nannochloropsis, and that providing nutrients every 2 days was better than introducing nutrients at the beginning and without adding nutrients.

Abstract

Indonesia and Malaysia are recognized as the world's leading producers of palm oil. Along with the growth of the palm oil industry in Indonesia, the amount of Palm Oil Mill Effluent has increased. Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is a liquid byproduct of the palm oil production process. POME has been treated using aerobic and anaerobic ponds to lower Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) levels, but it still includes nutrients like as C,N,P that are beneficial to the development of microalgae. On this study, Spirulina platensis was grown in POME medium with 20%, 40%, and 60% V. concentrations. Every two days, the nutrients Urea, NaHCO3, and TSP were administered. Seven days of aeration and 24-hour lights are used throughout the cultivation phase. The results indicate that POME with a 20 % concentration is the optimal medium for plant growth. Add 25 ppm Urea, 50 ppm TSP, and 200 ppm NaHCO3 for the optimal nutritional composition. At the same treatment on various medium, the highest growth rate of Spirulina platensis is determined to be µ = 0.128% per day, with an optical density of 0.648. Carbon reductions range from 83.03 % to 84.10 %, while Nitrogen savings range from 78 % to 79.55 % when POME is used as a growing medium. This study also shown that the C, N, and P concentrations of POME fall by 93 to 98 %, 99 to 99.5 %, and 92 to 97 %, respectively.

Abstract

Microalgae have an important role as a source of biomass in producing energy. One type of microalgae that has the potential to be developed is Chlorella vulgaris. Several factors that affect the growth and biomass production of Chlorella vulgaris microalgae are color temperature and light intensity because they play an important role in the photosynthesis process. This study aims to influence the effect of light and color temperature and optimize these parameters using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Two independent variables were varied: light intensity 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 lux and color temperature 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 K. The results showed that the average value of Chlorella vulgaris growth was higher along with higher light intensity. At a color temperature of 4000 K, the highest biomass yield and the most negligible biomass production were found at 6000 K. At a color temperature of 4000 K, it is feasible to apply it as an alternative lighting source in the production of Chlorella vulgaris. The combination of light intensity and color temperature shows that the specific growth rate and doubling time have opposite trends where high values produce low values and vice versa. Growth in dark conditions, the specific growth rate was 0.0026 day-1, and the optimal light intensity at 600 lux treatment. ANOVA evaluation showed that color temperature greatly affected growth. Based on the optimization, the optimal specific growth rate of 00751day-1 with the conditions of light intensity and color temperature of 556 lux and 4152 K, respectively.

Abstract

Microbial fuel Cell (MFC) has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to its capability in simultaneously reducing organic component and generating electricity. Here multicultural rumen microbes (RM) were used to reduce organic component of slaughterhouse wastewater in a self-fabricated MFC. The objectives of this study were to determine the MFC configuration and to find out its maximum capability in organic degradation and electricity generation. The experiments were conducted by employing, different types of electrode materials, electrode size, and substrate-RM ratio. Configuration of MFC with graphite-copper electrode 31.4 cm2 in size, and substrate-RM ratio 1:10 shows the best result with current density of 318 mA m-2, potential  2.4 V, and achieve maximum power density up to 700 mW m-2. In addition, self-fabricated MFC also shows its ability in reducing organic component by measuring the chemical oxygen demand (COD) up to 67.9% followed by increasing pH from 5.9 to 7.5. MFC operating at ambient condition (29oC and pH 7.5), is emphasized as green-technology for slaughterhouse wastewater treatment. Article History: Received March 26, 2016; Received in revised form June 20, 2016; Accepted June 25, 2016; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Prabowo, A.K., Tiarasukma, A.P., Christwardana, M. and Ariyanti, D.

Abstract

The Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are electrochemical devices that can be utilized as biosensors, specifically Dissolved Oxygen (DO) biosensors. In this research, performance and techno-economic of MFC-based DO biosensors with two sizes, small and large, were evaluated and analysed to determine whether it is more economical to use a small or large reactor. MFC-based DO biosensors were also applied to an irrigation canal. When MFC immersed into distilled water with several variations of DO, the correlation between DO and current density produced equation with R2 values around 0.9989 and 0.9979 for SYMFC and LYMFC, respectively. The power density for SYMFC and LYMFC was 3.48 and 10.89 mW/m2, respectively, in DO 6. Higher power densities are correlated with the electrode surface area, especially the larger cathodic surface area. When applied to the irrigation canal, DO values measured using SYMFC and LYMFC have errors of around 3.39 and 4.42%, respectively, when compared to DO values measured using DO meters. LYMFC requires a capital cost of around $ 234.22 or 2.57 times higher than SYMFC, although it generates almost similar cost per mW/m2, $ 21.51 and $ 26.23 for LYMFC and SYMFC, respectively. The results concluded that yeast MFC -based DO biosensors with smaller sizes can achieve more economical compared to larger sizes.

Abstract

The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate the efficiency of the Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) system incorporated with the fermentation process, with the aim of reducing COD and generating electricity, using sugarcane bagasse extract as a substrate, in the presence and absence of sugarcane fibers. There is a possibility of turning bagasse extract into renewable bioenergy to promote the sustainability of the environment and energy. As a result, the integration of liquid fermentation (LF) with MFC has improved efficiency compared to semi-solid state fermentation (S-SSF). The maximum power generated was 14.88 mW/m2, with an average COD removal of 39.68% per cycle. The variation margin of the liquid fermentation pH readings remained slightly decrease, with a slight deflection of +0.14 occurring from 4.33. With the absence of bagasse fibers, biofilm can grow freely on the anode surface so that the transfer of electrons is fast and produces a relatively high current. Experimental data showed a positive potential after an effective integration of the LF and MFC systems in the handling of waste. The product is then simultaneously converted into electrical energy.

Abstract

Clean and sustainable energy sources are needed to meet global energy demand. Geothermal Power Plants (GPPs) may generate power from Earth's heat. However, GPPs release hazardous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas. To overcome this problem and maximize on resource potential, researchers have investigated converting GPP-emitted H2S into hydrogen (H2). The Fe-Cl hybrid indirect electrolysis technique is used to analyze the thermodynamics of hydrogen synthesis from H2S in GPPs. Electrolysis electricity, hydrogen generation rate, and electrolyzer energy and exergy efficiency are examined in the thermodynamic analysis. The foundation parameters show that the electrolysis process uses 20.57 kWh of power every kilogram of H2 generated. Energy and exergy efficiencies of the electrolyzer are 89.89% and 97.72%, respectively, exhibiting system efficiency. The research also examines how H2S mass flow rate and electrolysis temperature affect energy efficiency, exergy efficiency, and power consumption. Optimizing hydrogen generation and system performance requires these elements. This study analyzes the thermodynamics of hydrogen synthesis from H2S in GPPs to create sustainable and ecologically friendly energy options. H2S emissions from GPPs might be used to efficiently produce hydrogen as a renewable energy source with more research.

Abstract

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are an innovative method that generates sustainable electricity by exploiting the metabolic processes of microorganisms. The membrane that divides the anode and cathode chambers is an important component of MFCs. Commercially available membranes, such as Nafion, are both costly, not sustainable, and harmful to the environment. In this study, a low-cost alternative membrane for MFCs based on a starch-carrageenan blend (SCB-LCM) was synthesized. The SCB-LCM membrane was created by combining starch and carrageenan and demonstrated a high dehydration rate of 98.87 % over six hours. SEM analysis revealed a smooth surface morphology with no pores on the membrane surface. The performance of SCB-LCM membrane-based MFCs was evaluated and compared to that of other membranes, including Nafion 117 and Nafion 212. All membranes tested over 25 hours lost significant weight, with SCB-LCM losing the least. The maximum power density (MPD) of the SCB-LCM MFCs was 15.77 ± 4.34 mW/m2, indicating comparable performance to commercial membranes. Moreover, the cost-to-power ratio for MFCs employing SCB-LCM was the lowest (0.03 USD.m2/mW) when compared to other membranes, indicating that SCB-LCM might be a viable and cost-effective alternative to Nafion in MFCs. These SCB-LCM findings lay the groundwork for future research into low-cost and sustainable membrane for MFC technologies.

Abstract

Coconut fiber, considered an organic waste, emerges as a promising alternative carbon source for graphene oxide production—a material characterized by its conductive nature due to oxidation and the introduction of functional groups. The synthesis process involves carbonization with varied holding times (10, 20, and 30 minutes) and the utilization of Triple Superphosphate (TSP) and Ferrocene catalysts at concentrations of 10 wt.% and 20 wt.%. Subsequently, the sonication method is employed to enhance the electrical conductivity of graphene oxide post-carbonization. Notably, the electrical conductivity tests, conducted using a sourcemeter, revealed the optimum performance at 20 minutes of carbonization duration and a 20 wt.% TSP catalyst concentration, yielding an impressive electrical conductivity of 11,489.86 S/m. These findings underscore the significance of tailored parameters in optimizing graphene oxide synthesis for applications such as high-conductivity battery anodes.
