Abstract

The present study is aimed at optimizing the synthesis of Amphipilic lignin derivatives (A-LD) from the isolated lignin of A.mangium black liquor (BL), using the one and two step acid isolation method, and commercial lignin (LS) was used as comparison. The experimental design was conducted using Taguchi method, which consisted of four parameters and two level factors, with reference to the matrix orthogonal array, L8, including temperature, reaction time, amount of polyethylene glycol diglycidylethers (PEGDE) and Kraft lignin (KL). Furthermore, the kraft pulp of sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) was used as substrate in the enzymatic hydrolysis (NREL method), with addition of A-LD, whose functional group and surface tension were then characterised using ATR-FTIR and surface tension equipment. Conversely, an improvement in the reducing sugar yield (RSY) compared to the control was observed after adding various A-LDs to the substrate during enzymatic hydrolysis. This product was more prospective for L2S than others products under milder circumstances, due to the fact that it possesses the lowest surface tension. Also, Taguchi analysis demonstrated the treatment at 60 °C for 1 h with 3.0 g and 1.0 g of PEDGE and lignin, respectively as the optimum condition, while the amount of lignin present was included as a factor with the propensity to significantly affect A-LD L1S and LS. Therefore, it was established that the A-LDs from A. mangium kraft lignin require milder synthesis conditions, compared to other existing methods and despite the differences in optimum experimental condition for L2S and LS, the functional groups in the IR spectra possessed very identical characteristics.

Abstract

Upscaling of biomass pretreatment from laboratory scale to a bench-scale reactor is one of the important steps in the application of the pretreatment for pilot or commercial scale. This study reports the optimization of pretreatment conditions, namely reaction temperature and time, by one factor at a time (OFAT) method for the enhancement of enzymatic saccharification of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB). OPEFB was pretreated using high temperature-pressure steam reactor with different reaction temperatures (160, 170, 180, 190, 200 °C) and times (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 min). The effectiveness of the pretreatment was determined based on chemical compositions of raw OPEFB and OPEFB pulp and sugar production from enzymatic saccharification of the OPEFB pulp.  Solubilized components from OPEFB, such as glucose, xylose, formic acid, acetic acid, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), and furfural in the hydrolysate that generated during steam pretreatment were also determined. Pretreatment at 180°C for 20 min provides the highest sugar yields (97.30% of glucose yield per initial cellulose and 88.86% of xylose yield per initial hemicellulose). At the optimum condition, 34.9% of lignin and 30.75% of hemicellulose are successfully removed from the OPEFB and resulted in 3.43 delignification selectivity. The relationship between severity factor and by-products generated and the sugars obtained after enzymatic saccharification are discussed. The pulp of OPEFB at the optimum condition was also characterized for its morphological characteristic by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and crystallinity by X-ray diffractometry (XRD).  These pulp characteristics are then compared with those of the raw OPEFB. The steam pretreatment causes some fiber disruptions with more defined and opened structures and increases the crystallinity index (CrI) by 2.9% compared to the raw OPEFB.

Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) has high potency to be converted into second generation bioethanol production. OPEFB pretreated liquid hot water (LHW) assisted maleic acid (MA) pretreatment was used as substrate in simultaneous saccharification fermentation (SSF). This pretreatment was conducted at 180 °C for 70 min by using 1.5% (w/v) MA acid concentration with material and liquid ratio of 1:14. Subsequently, the pretreated samples were fermented by addition of surfactant, polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 and amphiphilic lignin derivatives (A-LD) using Kluyveromyces marxianus InaCC Y119 yeast at temperature of 38 °C for 89 h. Before SSF, pretreated OPEFB was pre hydrolyzed by cellulase enzyme with enzyme loading 30 FPU/g at 50 °C for 3 h. Fermentation filtrate was taken at 0, 24, 48, 72, dan 89 h as much as 1.5 mL for reducing sugar and ethanol content determination. The surfactant addition can enhance reducing sugar and also ethanol content compared to control. The highest ethanol content of 1.251 g/L was found at fermentation of OPEFB pretreated MA with PEG 4000 surfactant at 89 h.

Abstract

This research evaluated the effect of fungal pretreatment of betung bamboo fibers and enzymatic- and microwaveassisted hydrolysis on the reducing sugar yield. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated biomass was carried out with cellulase and 10 and 20 FPU/g of substrate in a shaking incubator at 50 °C and 150 rpm for 48 h. The sulfuric acid concentration used in the microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis was 1.0, 2.5, and 5%, either with or without the addition of activated carbon. Microwave irradiation (330 Watt) was applied for 5–12.5 min. The yield of reducing sugar was better with the microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis, and the yield tended to increase with an increase in the irradiation time. Based on the dry weight of the initial biomass (bamboo), pretreatment with 5% inoculum loading resulted in a higher reducing sugar yield (17.06%) than with 10% inoculum loading (14.54%). At a 1% acid concentration, the formation of brown compounds decreased, followed by a reduction in the reducing sugar yield. The addition of activated carbon at a 1% acid concentration seemed to be of no benefit with respect to the yield in the microwaveassisted acid hydrolysis. The pretreatment with the 5% inoculum loading for 12.5 min at 1% acid concentration resulted in the highest reducing sugar yield. Under these conditions, the yield was 6.3-fold that of the reducing sugar yield using 20 FPU/g of cellulase. The rate of bamboo hollocellulose hydrolysis reached 22.75% of the maximum theoretical reducing sugar reducing sugar of dry biomass.

Abstract

Population growth causes an increase in the need for petroleum. However, petroleum as primary energy is currently increasingly limited in availability. Required alternative energy sources that can be renewed to overcome these problems, one of which is bio-oil. Bio-oil is produced by a pyrolysis process using biomass such as sugarcane bagasse, rice husk, and empty oil palm fruit bunches (EFB), by heating in the absence of oxygen. Kinetic studies on pyrolysis of this type of biomass (sugar cane bagasse, rice husk, and empty oil palm fruit bunches) were carried out using the thermogravimetric method. The Coats-Redfern method was used in this study. The purpose of this study is to obtain the most appropriate reaction kinetics model to represent the pyrolysis process for each type of biomass. In addition, to determine the optimal temperature used in forming bio-oil. Approximately 5 g of each biomass is used with a heating rate of 10°C/minute. Pyrolysis was carried out until the temperature reached 750°C. The results of the research on the selected kinetic model for each biomass is a geometric model with a correlation coefficient (R2) close to 1 and the optimum temperature for producing bio-oil is around 550 - 600°C.

Abstract

Copper nanosheets supported by organic ligands are significant for biological, electrical, and catalytic applications. The discovery that the coronavirus has a significantly reduced maximum survival period on copper surfaces has elevated the utility of copper nanomaterials. Here, we report a non-hazardous and inexpensive biological technique for forming copper nanosheets (Cu Nsts); synthesis of Cu Nsts has always been a challenge for researchers due to the significant problem of oxidation; in this research, we have successfully synthesized stable Cu Nsts by using Saussurea lappa root extract for the first time, the obtained Cu Nsts has a shiny black color with self-standing ability, the crystal structure of Cu nanosheets was determined using Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that copper nanoparticles grow and aggregates to form Cu Nsts. The surface morphology of Cu Nsts is clear evidence of their synthesis. These nanosheets were very proficient in the deduction of harmful dye (methylene blue); within 105 minutes, the degradation capacity of Cu nanosheets for methylene blue reached 93.493%. This remarkable property of Cu Nsts as a photocatalyst gives potential application for removing dyes from industrial wastewater. Cu Nsts showed excellent antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The Cu Nsts demonstrated potent inhibitory zones against E. coli, with inhibition zones measuring 39 mm. This research lays the foundations for purifying wastewater from harmful dyes and bacteria.

Abstract

Lignocellulose materials, such as bamboo, rattan, and wood, have been largely used for furniture and crafts. On the other hand, the utilization of lignocellulose-like materials, which have a similar texture and appearance to those from nature, has been increasing recently due to their superior durability. This research aimed to identify the lignocellulose-like material using spectroscopy analysis, such as Raman and Near Infrared (NIR) which is well-known as a non-destructive, quick, and accurate approach for material identification. We investigated 4 types of lignocellulose-like materials that were provided by Dewan Serat Indonesia (The Indonesian Fiber Council) from an industry that produces them. The NIR analysis was performed at wavenumbers 10,000-4,000 cm-1. The natural lignocellulose (bamboo and wood) and the polymers (polyethylene and polyproline) were used as standards. Raman analysis was further employed to identify the composition of selected lignocellulose-like materials by comparing their spectra with the library software. The results showed that the original NIR spectra of lignocellulose-like and those natural materials were different, indicating that the NIR analysis can differentiate those materials. The NIR spectra of lignocellulose-like materials were similar to those of polyethylene spectra. Those lignocellulose-like were also identified as polyethylene due to the similarity of the Raman spectra and their library spectra.

Abstract

Lignin was recovered from black liquor during the biorefinery process and has prospective applications in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and health care. Lignin, which has substantially smaller particles, was used as the active ingredient in the sunscreen cream formulation. The isolated lignin was examined for physicochemical parameters such as yield, purity, particle size, total phenol, and morphology. The obtained lignin was used in the preparation of sunscreen cream. The isolated lignin concentration in the cream varied between 0.1, 1, and 2 wt%. The sun protection factor (SPF) of the designed sunscreen creams was assessed, and antioxidant activity and stability were studied, which included pH, particle size, and appearance during the observation period. The formulated cream has an SPF of approximately 15, which is sufficient to protect human skin from the sun's UV radiation. Furthermore, the most significant antioxidant activity was found to be 68.94%. As a result, the developed sunscreen cream has the potential for further research because it is composed of natural active ingredients that are safe for humans and the environment.

Abstract

This review focuses on the synthesis and application of industrial hot-melt nanostructured polyurethane adhesives (HMPUAs) used for enhancing the bonding of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) veneers. The use of PVC veneers has been identified as an effective approach to protect wood composite products, particularly MDF, due to its resistance to moisture, environmental conditions, and cost-effectiveness. However, achieving strong adhesion between PVC and MDF remains challenging due to differences in their chemical and structural properties. This study compares various synthesis methods of polyurethane adhesives, emphasizing the prepolymer method as the most efficient approach for producing high-performance HMPUAs. Key challenges include optimizing the isocyanate to hydroxyl group ratio (NCO/OH), selecting appropriate polyols, and incorporating suitable additives. The effects of nanoparticles, including nanosilica, nanolignin, phosphorus, nitrogen compounds, mica particles, and aluminum trihydrate, on the mechanical and thermal properties of polyurethane adhesives are thoroughly discussed. Furthermore, the challenges of achieving consistent adhesive performance, compatibility, and durability under varying environmental conditions are addressed. The findings of this review provide essential insights into improving the synthesis of one-component HMPUAs and enhancing their applicability in MDF-PVC veneer bonding.

Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent (POME), a major byproduct of the palm oil industry in Indonesia, is generated in large volumes and poses environmental risks due to its high organic content> Microalgae offer a promising approach to reduce this waste while simultaneously producing value-added biomass products. This study aimed to determine the optimal POME concentration for microalgal growth of G. sulphuraria 009, to evaluate phycocyanin yield, and to assess its antioxidant activity. This study was initiated with a preliminary screening using 5–50% POME to identify optimal microalgal growth conditions; cultivation in bioreactors with selected concentrations (2.5%, 5.0%, and 7.5%) to evaluate growth performance and chemical yields; and analysis of antioxidant activity and pigment content in both fresh and residual biomass. The preliminary stage revealed 5% POME as the upper threshold for growth, with 2.5% supporting optimal biomass comparable to control (Allen pH 2). Higher POME levels inhibited growth due to light attenuation and ammoniacal nitrogen toxicity. 2.5% POME recorded the highest phycocyanin yield per liter, while 7.5% POME yielded the highest antioxidant activity, likely due to oxidative stress. Antioxidant assays confirmed significant antioxidant activity in all phycocyanin extracts, with the highest activity in 7.5% POME, likely due to oxidative stress. Carotenoid and chlorophyll contents were evaluated in both fresh and residual biomass. Carotenoids were more abundant in fresh biomass, while chlorophyll -A was higher in residual biomass post-extraction, emphasizing the importance of extraction techniques in bioactive compound recovery. This study highlights G. sulphuraria 009 as a viable source of phycocyanin in POME-based cultivation, offering insights into industrial wastewater valorization and sustainable bioproducts.
