Abstract

Abstract. The use of ethanol and biodiesel, which are alternative fuels or biofuels, has increased in the last few years. Modern official standards list 25 parameters that must be determined to certify biodiesel quality. In order to determine biofuel quality, several methods were already widely used in which most of them were based on solvent extraction followed by other laboratory procedures. Yet, these methods are expensive, laborious and complicated processing for samples. Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) can be considered as a fast, pollution-free and non-destructive method in determining biofuel quality parameters. The objective of this study is to apply near infrared technology in classifying biodiesel based on KOH (0.3, 0.5 and 0.7) and to predict related biodiesel quality properties (water content, linolenic fatty acid, oleic acid,  and stearic acid) based on its infrared reflectance. Biodiesel infrared spectrum was acquired in wavelength range from 1000 to 2500 nm for different mentioned three KOH content. Principal component analysis (PCA) with non-iterative partial least square (NIPALS) was applied to analyze biodiesel spectral data. The result showed that two principal components (PC1=97% ad PC2 = 2%) based on infrared reflectance data were successfully able to recognize and classify biodiesel based on their used KOH. Moreover, the wavelength range of 1000 – 1140 were to be believed related to linolenic fatty acid whilst 1450 nm and 1930 nm were associated with water content. Stearic acid can be predicted in wavelength range of 1330 – 1380 nm and wavelength range of 1725 – 1790 nm were related to oleic acid of biodiesel. This may conclude that infrared technology was feasible to use as a rapid, effective and non-invasive method in biofuel classification and evaluation.

Abstract

Abstract. The functions soil depends on the balances of its structure, nutrients composition as well as other chemical and physical properties. Conventional methods, used to determine nutrients content on agricultural soil were time consuming, complicated sample processing and destructive in nature. Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) has become one of the most promising and used non-destructive methods of analysis in many field areas including in soil science. The main aim of this present study is to apply NIRS in predicting nutrients content of soils in form of total nitrogen (N). Transmittance spectra data were obtained from a total of 18 soil samples from 8 different sites followed by N measurement using standard laboratory method. Principal component regression (PCR) with full cross validation were used to develop and validate N prediction models. The results showed that N content can be predicted very well even with raw spectra data with coefficient correlation (r) and residual predictive deviation index (RPD) were 0.95 and 3.35 respectively. Furthermore, spectra correction clearly enhances and improve prediction accuracy with r = 0.96 and RPD = 3.51. It may conclude that NIRS can be used as fast and simultaneous method in determining nutrient content of agricultural soils.

Abstract

An environmentally friendly packaging material that can be used in place of synthetic, non-green plastic packaging is biodegradable film. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of sorbitol plasticizer concentrations on the characteristics of biodegradable film produced from chicken claw waste. The treatments applied during the production process consisted of three sorbitol concentrations, including 0.5, 1, and 1.5%, repeated thrice. Characterization of biodegradable film comprised thickness, water content, water solubility, film swelling, mechanical properties, pH, water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, and degradation tests. Analysis of variance  results showed that the sorbitol concentrations significantly influenced thickness value, but did not affect other characteristics. The best treatment was 0.5% sorbitol which generated thickness of 0.15 mm, WC of 13.97%, WS of 44.72%, swelling of 96.97%, tensile strength of 12.29 MPa, elongation of 22.23%, elasticity 58.53 Mpa, pH 7.5, WVP 9.26 g.m -1 pa -1 hour -1 , OP 1.52 g.m -1 pa -1 , and degradability for 14 days.
