Abstract

In Indonesia, 187 million tons of biomass were produced from 8.11 million ha of oil palm plantation in 2009. This massive amount of biomass mainly consists of oil palm fronds (OPF) and oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB), which are normally categorized as waste. The properties of OPF fibers compared to those of synthetic fibers, such as low density, low cost, less abrasion of equipment, and safer production, makes them an attractive reinforcement for composite materials. In this work, the utilization of oil palm empty fruit bunch ash for OPF fiber-polyester resin composite and the effect of process conditions were studied. Water absorption, tensile and flexural strength were used to characterize the effects of alkaline treatment on modified OPF fibers in polyester resin. The investigation focused on the effect of alkaline treatment time. Treatment temperature and liquid to solid ratio were analyzed using Response Surface Method-Central Composite Design (RSM-CCD). The highest tensile strength (44.87 MPa) was achieved at 12 hours soaking time, at 40°C treatment temperature and 5:1 water to ash ratio. The highest flexural strength (120.50 MPa) was obtained at 1.3 hours soaking time, 4 dissolving ratio and 35°C treatment temperature. The lowest water absorption of composite (3.00%) was achieved at the longest soaking time (14.7 hours), 4 dissolving ratio and 35°C treatment temperature. Variance of soaking time, dissolving ratio and temperature in the alkaline treatment process using extract of oil palm empty fruit bunch ash significantly affected the mechanical and physical properties of the oil palm frond fibers reinforced composite.

Abstract

The non-stoichiometric thermodynamic equilibrium simulation program for the biomass gasification process was developed using the Python programming language. It is featured with a GUI (Graphical Users Interface), to facilitate user interaction. The program is designed to calculate the composition of gas producer with 6 components involved, they are CH4, CO, CO2, H2, N2, and H2O. The design of computational algorithms for calculating non-stoichiometric thermochemical equilibrium models is converted into Python code. The GUI consists of input and output facilities in form of tables and graphs of calculation results. The input facility is designed in such a way that the user can vary the gasification temperature and the equivalent ratio. The calculation results of the simulation program are verified with the calculated data manually to ensure that there are no errors in the algorithm or writing program code. It is also compared with the experimental data from previous studies to see the accuracy of the thermodynamic model in predicting the composition of gas producer. The non-stoichiometric thermodynamic equilibrium simulation program for the biomass gasification process can predict the composition of producer gas with a fairly good level of accuracy and can be used as a learning medium in studying thermodynamic equilibrium.

Abstract

Filler is one of component used in papermaking industry to reduce production cost and improve paper properties. Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) are the most effective filler used in papermaking process. However, high usage of GCC and PCC may decrease paper strength. As an attempt to increase filler application in the papermaking process, wollastonite / calcium silicate is used as an additive to increase filler retention, without reduction in paper strength. The filler modification was done by adding 2% wollastonite per total filler dose. This study will evaluate the effect of adding wollastonite on filler retention and paper strength at filler doses of 21, 23 and 25% with variations in the percentage composition of PCC / GCC from 100/0, 90/10, and 80/20. The addition of wollastonite to filler with the resulted in increasing filler retention and no significant change in tensile index. Basis weight and thickness also showed stable values. The best filler retention obtained at 23% filler dose, with filler composition of 90% PCC 90% and 10% GCC, which resulted in 99% filler retention of the total filler dose added. The addition of 2% wollastonite in paper-making process will increase filler dose from 21% to 23%, which reducing fiber usage, therefore it the addition of wollastonite has the potential to reduce raw material costs by 5.8 USD / ton.Keyword : Filler, Filler retention, PCC, GCC, Wollastonite

Abstract

The pulp and paper industry continues to grow and produces large amounts of fly ash waste from the biomass combustion process. Alternative waste management besides landfills needs to be developed so that the use of fly ash can be ecologically and economically acceptable, such as for land applications in industrial plantations, especially on peat soils. This paper presents the results of the analysis of micro nutrients from fly ash from pulp and paper mill waste that can be used for agriculture and forestry. The elemental content of boron (B) and zinc (Zn) can be detected in fly ash samples both by lauryl amine extraction and stearyl amine extraction, where the optimum amount is obtained using 15 gram of fatty amine and n-hexane solvent with a processing time of 4 hours. Stearyl amine gives a higher yield than lauryl amine because it has a longer saturated carbon chain.
