Abstract

Membrane technology has been the methods in the management of clean water, one of polymer that used as membrane materials is polyethersulfone (PES). However, PES is easy to fouling because it is hydrophobic. Fouling will cause a decrease in membrane performance. In this study, PES membrane was modified using hydrophilic additives, namely an alloy of Mg(OH)2 and chitosan. This research study the effect of additives on the performance and anti-fouling properties of the membrane. The membrane preparation was carried out using polymer blending method. The dope solution was made by mixing 18% PES with additives in the form of an alloy of Mg(OH)2 and chitosan with varying compositions of 1% and 5%, with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent, and a mixture of ethanol and water as a non-solvent. The membrane characterization was evaluated by analyzing the functional groups. Membrane performance was carried out by measuring the flux and permeability of pure water, selectivity or rejection, as well as membrane anti-fouling tests. From the results of the study, the largest permeability value in PES/NMP membrane with the addition of 5% additive (membrane N5) was 12.9 L/m2.h.bar, rejection was 33.54% with good anti-fouling properties.

Abstract

Cooking oil is a food processing medium that is often used by various levels of society for cooking needs. People’s habit of using cooking oil repeatedly at high temperatures will cause damage to the oil so that it greatly affects the nutrition and quality of processed foods. For this reason, it is very important to make efforts to regenerate cooking oil that has been used repeatedly with a safer process. Corn husks can be used as a bioadsorbent to regenerate used cooking oil. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of adding bioadsorbent from corn husks on the acquisition of moisture content, free fatty acids (FFA), and peroxide number. 200 ml of used cooking oil was contacted with corn husk bioadsorbent with the addition of 1, 5, and 10 grams of bioadsorbent and contact times of 30, 60, and 90 minutes. Furthermore, used cooking oil that has been regenerated was analyzed for moisture content, FFA, and peroxide number. The results showed that 10 grams of bioadsorbent with a contact time of 90 minutes had a moisture content of 0.15%, FFA 0.11%, and a peroxide number of 1.15 meq/kg, which met the cooking oil quality standard (SNI 3741-1995).

Abstract

This present research aims to compare the COD removal of palm oil mill effluent (POME) by electrocoagulation using iron and aluminum electrodes. Response surface method coupled Box-Behnken design is applicable to investigate the effect of various process parameters (voltage, operating time and electrolyte concentration) and optimum condition. The optimum condition by using iron electrode is in 43 minutes, 20 volts and 0.06 M NaCl with the COD removal of 95.045%. By using electrode aluminum, optimum condition is 40.35 minutes, 19 volts and 0.1 M NaCl with the COD removal of 89.941%. Energy consumption of iron electrode and aluminum electrode are 0.189 and 0.209 kWh/mg decomposed COD with energy costs of Rp. 255 and Rp. 282/mg decomposed COD. This indicates that energy and cost consumption of electrocoagulation by using Al electrode are higher than those by using iron electrode. Based on the investigation during research, iron electrode is better for reducing COD while the aluminum is better in removing color in POME.

Abstract

Clean water is a natural resource which is indispensable, due to the increase of population, water demand is also increasing. so that technology is needed in water treatment to satisfy the needs of clean water. Membrane separation technology is a technology that has grown rapidly in addressing the problems of water treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and performance of Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes modified with magnesium hydroxide or Mg(OH)2 and modification using chitosan. Membrane preparation was carried out by the phase inversion method, using an 18 wt% PES polymer modified with the addition of 0.2 wt% of Mg(OH)2, and modification using 0.2 wt% of chitosan. Furthermore, it was dissolved in N-Methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent and the dope solution was stirred for 24 hours until it was homogeneous. Membrane characterization includes functional group analysis and measurement of the membrane water contact angle. Whereas membrane performance testing is done through permeability measurement and membrane rejection using a dead end ultrafiltration module. The results showed that the hydroxyl group (-OH) contained in Mg(OH)2 and chitosan were able to improve the hydrophilicity of the PES membrane. The membrane permeability coefficient modified with Mg(OH)2 gives a value of 8.236 L/m2.h.bar, while modifying the membrane using chitosan produces a value of 6.237 L/m2.h.bar. Both of them experience an increase compared to pure PES membrane without modification that has a permeability value of 4.123 L/m2.h.bar.

Abstract

Membran Polyethersulfone (PES) bersifat hidrofobik yang memiliki ketahanan rendah terhadap sifat fouling. Fouling pada membran mengakibatkan penurunan kinerja membrane selama proses operasi. Oleh karena itu, modifikasi membran perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan sifat hidrofilik membrane. Pada penelitian ini modifikasi dilakukan dengan penambahan nanopartikel Mg(OH)2 yang bersifat tidak beracun, murah, dan mudah diperoleh. Penambahan aditif nanopartikel Mg(OH)2 pada membran PES dilakukan dengan cara pencampuran polimer dengan metode non solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) menggunakan pelarut dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). DMSO merupakan pelarut polar aprotik yang dapat melarutkan senyawa organik maupun anorganik dengan baik. DMSO juga merupakan pelarut yang tidak beracun, sehingga lebih aman dan ramah lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan membran PES hidrofilik dengan penambahan nanopartikel Mg(OH)2 dengan unjuk kerja terbaik. Pengaruh penambahan nanopartikel Mg(OH)2  dalam sistem membran dievaluasi dengan menganalisis perubahan struktur kimia PES menggunakan ATR-FTIR, perubahan morfologi menggunakan SEM, porositas menggunakan metoda gravimetri, serta pengujian kinerja (permeabilitas dan rejeksi) membran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan nanopartikel Mg(OH)2, mengakibatkan perubahan pada struktur atau morfologi membrane PES, yang berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan permeabilitas membran. Penambahan nanopartikel Mg(OH)2 juga meningkatkan porositas membran dari 12% ‒ 40%. Kehadiran gugus hidroksil (-OH) dalam matriks membran dikonfirmasi dengan uji FTIR. Kinerja membran optimum diperoleh pada nilai permeabilitas air sebesar 56,4 L/m2.jam.bar, dengan rejeksi asam humus sebesar 61%.Modification of Polyethersulfone Membrane with the Addition of Mg(OH)2 Nanoparticles in Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solvent. Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane has hydrophobic characteristics and low resistance to fouling properties. The fouling on the membrane results in a decrease in the performance of the membrane during the operation process. Therefore, membrane modification needs to be done to increase the hydrophilic properties of the membrane. In this study, modifications were made by adding Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles which are non-toxic, inexpensive, and easy to obtain. The addition of Mg(OH)2 nanoparticle additives to PES membranes was carried out by blending polymers with the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent. DMSO is an aprotic polar solvent that can dissolve both organic and inorganic compounds well. DMSO is also a non-toxic solvent, making it safer and more environmentally friendly. This study aims to produce a hydrophilic PES membrane with the addition of Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles with the best performance. The effect of adding Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles in the membrane system was evaluated by analyzing changes in the chemical structure of PES using ATR-FTIR, morphological changes using SEM, porosity using the gravimetric method, and testing the performance (permeability and rejection) of the membrane. The results showed that the addition of Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles resulted in changes in the structure or morphology of the PES membrane, which affected the increase in membrane permeability. The addition of Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles also increased the porosity of the membrane from 12% to 40%. The presence of hydroxyl groups (-OH) in the membrane matrix was confirmed by FTIR analysis. The optimum membrane performance was obtained at the water permeability value of 56.4 L/m2.h.bar with 61% rejection of humic acid.

Abstract

Abstract – Two dominant desalination methods are reverse osmosis (RO) and multi-stage flash (MSF). RO requires large capital investment and maintenance, whereas MSF is too energy-intensive. Innovative system of vapor compression desalination is proposed in this study. Comprehensive mathematics model for evaporator is also described. From literature study, it is indicated that very high overall-heat-transfer coefficient for evaporator can be obtained at specific condition by using dropwise condensation in the steam side, and pool boiling in the liquid side. Smooth titanium surface is selected in order to increase dropwise condensation, and resist corrosion. To maximize energy efficiency, a cogeneration scheme of a combined cycle consisting of gas turbine, boiler heat recovery, and steam turbine that drives compressor is used. The resource for combined cycle is relatively too high for the compressor requirement. Excess power can be used to generate electricity for internal and/or external consumptions, and sold to open market. Four evaporator stages are used. Evaporator is fed by seawater, with assumption of 3.5% salt contents. Boiling brine (7% salt) is boiled in low pressure side of the heat exchanger, and condensed vapor is condensed in high pressure side of the heat exchanger. Condensed steam flows at velocity of 1.52 m/s, so that it maximize the heat transfer coefficient. This unit is designed in order to produce 10 million gallon/day, and assumed it is financed with 5%, 30 years of passive obligation. Three cases are evaluated in order to determine recommended condition to obtain the lowest fixed capital investment. Based on the evaluation, it is possible to establish four-stage unit of mechanical vapor compression distillation with capital $31,723,885. Keywords: Desalination, dropwise condensation, heat exchanger, StarRotor compressor, vapor compression distillation.

Abstract

The physical and chemical environmental impact in a mining area is inevitable, particularly for open pit mining areas. The impact could affect soil and water quality where mining activities, such as land clearing, blasting and hauling, occur. Thus, environmental monitoring in mining areas should be taken to measure the impact of mining activity for reclamation purposes. The objective of this research focuses on the measure of environmental impact on soil quality in terms of the nutrient content in an abandoned mine area at Jantang village, Lhoong, Aceh Besar. The research was conducted by collecting 15 soil samples, followed by laboratory analysis using atomic absorption spectrophotometry to investigate sampled 'soil's nutrients which are pH, Carbon (C-organic), Nitrogen (N-total), Phosphor (P-availability), and Ferro substance (Fe-concentration). In addition, to estimate the soil properties at locations outside the sampling area, a spatial interpolation method called inverse distance weight with an optimum power was used. The result shows that the soil is acidic, with low C-organic in the range of 0.02%–1.84%, N-total 0.02%–0.16%, and P-availability 0.55%–3.75%. In contrast, the Fe-concentration is very high, at 3000–3400 ppm.
