Abstract

Floor cleaning products on the market usually use synthetic active that can interfere with health and the environment. Therefore, highly recommended to substitute synthetic active with natural active substances such as essential oils. The by-product of essential oils is hydrosol which is also not safe for the environment. This research aims to analyze hydrosol's effectiveness as an antibacterial and get an optimal formulation of oil essential and hydrosol as antibacterial in floor cleaning products. Kaffir lime leaf oil, lemongrass oil, and its hydrosol have been used as an additive in floor cleaners. pH value, free alkaline level, viscosities, and antibacterial effectiveness have been analyzed for floor cleaning products produced in this research. This research found a pH value of 6-8, viscosities is 1516-1867 cP, and free alkaline level of 0,1519-0,1627 b/b. The most antibacterial effectiveness found in the composition of kaffir lime leaf oil and its hydrosol is 15% and 30%, have bacteria inhibition of 10 mm. pH value, free alkaline, and viscosities have been fulfilled the standard of SNI 1842:2019.

Abstract

Coal is still the world's main energy source, widely used in power generation, steel production materials, cement industry, alumina processing plant paper factories and other chemical industries. Burning coal with high sulfur content produces sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), which can directly or indirectly disrupt the environment and contribute to air pollution and the formation of acid rain. Therefore, desulfurization has become an interesting research topic to improve coal quality. In this research, coal desulfurization is carried out using aloe vera gel as a solvent. 300 ml of aloe vera gel was contacted with 50 grams of coal using a magnetic stirrer with varying stirring speeds of 500 and 750 rpm, for duration 2, 3, 5 and 7 hours. Then, separated, dried, and analyzed for sulfur content, ash content, and calorific value. The results showed that the sulfur content decreased by 19.11% to 24.61%, the ash content decreased by 8.51% to 12.56%, and the calorific value was obtained respectively 6439cal/g, 6381 cal/g, 6433 cal/g, and 6467 cal/g.
