Abstract

The increasing price and the decreasing stock of fossil fuel nowadays are two factorsthat make the use of alternative fuel with lower price become necessity. The source ofenergy that can be used to fill the gap between convensional fossil fuel towards cleanerand renewable energy is Coal. South Banten has a massive stock of coal, around 70% ofall the mineral sources in South Banten, but the quality of the coal is low, due to thesulfur content around 2.28 % dry basis and a high water content that lead to the lowestcalor content. The aim of this research is to lowering the sulfur and water content ofthe coal. Upgrading Brown Coal methode is the methode used to reach the aim stated.The research was settle at temperature 150: C, pressure 350 kPa, and addition ofkerosene as the solvent. The result of the research shows the increasing of calorcontent and the decreasing sulfur content when the evaporation temperature graduallyincreased.

Abstract

Waste cooking oil can be treated by an adsorption process using Bayah natural zeolite as raw material for alkyd resin synthesis. This study aimed to determine the optimum conditions for the equivalent ratio of OH:COOH and the temperature of the alkyd resin synthesis. The research was carried out by preparing used cooking oil and Bayah natural zeolite (BNZ), adsorption process, and alkyd resin synthesis through the alcoholysis-polyesterification process. The optimum addition of Bayah natural zeolite-activated NaOH 0.75 N in pretreatment waste cooking oil is 30% weight in terms of color, density, viscosity, and functional group characteristics of the resulting alkyd resin. The characteristics of the alkyd resin product at optimum conditions obtained light brown color with an OH: COOH equivalent ratio of 1.4, and the alcoholysis and esterification temperature at 190 oC with a density value is 1.112 g/cm3, FFA value is 0.1528%, viscosity value is 4808 cP. The ester functional group at wavelengths 1267 cm-1 and 1722 cm-1, the 1H NMR spectrum of the ester group at the peak of 3.5 ppm, and a functional group of 7.6 ppm.

Abstract

Plastic waste is a type of waste that has economic value when processed properly, one of which is by converting it into fuel oil using the pyrolysis method. Pyrolysis of plastic waste involves the decomposition of materials at high temperatures without the presence of oxygen. This study aimed to examine the effect of the mixture of polypropylene (PP) plastic waste and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic waste in the pyrolysis process on the quantity and quality of the oil products. The ratio of PP:LDPE was varied to 100 kg : 0 kg, 70 kg : 30 kg, 50 kg : 50 kg, and 30 kg : 70 kg. The pyrolysis was conducted at a temperature of 350ºC for 10 hours. The research results show that the highest yield value of 82.24% wt. is obtained at PP:LDPE ratio of 100 kg : 0 kg. Furthermore, the best pyrolysis oil products are obtained at PP:LDPE ratio of 70 kg : 30 kg. The gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel products have densities of 760 kg/m3, 776.4 kg/m3, and 873 kg/m3, respectively. Then, the gasoline and diesel fuel have calorific values of 10,836 cal/g and 10,996.5 cal/g. The cetane number of diesel fuel is 42, while the octane number of gasoline is 78.9.

Abstract

Landfill in Cilegon City has an impact on the environment, so processing is needed, one of which is converting waste into RDF fuel. The conversion of waste into RDF provides benefits by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and utilizing renewable energy as fuel. The composition of mixed materials in RDF has potential characteristics that affect the quality of the resulting RDF. The study objective is to study the effect of the composition of a mixture waste of organic (leaves) and LDPE plastic on the characteristics of RDF. The research was conducted with composition ratios of organic waste (leaves) and LDPE plastic waste at 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, and 80:20 (% wt.). The results showed that the optimal RDF product was produced with a composition of 85:15 and with the addition of 10% starch. These results indicate the characteristics of RDF, including an ash content of 14.681%, moisture content of 11.215%, volatile matter of 54.465%, fixed carbon of 19.469%, calorific value of 4598.017%, bulk density of 0.706 g/cm3, and compressive strength of 6.69 kg/cm2. It has the potential to be a good alternative for using RDF as fuel in boilers.
