Abstract

One of the main components in detergent is Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS), an anionic surfactant. In the aquatic environment, LAS has the potential to cause pollution and cannot be decomposed under anaerobic conditions (no air), so it is necessary to study processing methods that can reduce the concentration of LAS in the waters. In this research, a study of LAS adsorption by Moringa seeds was carried out. The parameters studied were the influence of contact time and solution pH. A study on the isothermic adsorption of LAS on Moringa seeds using the Freundlich and Langmuir approach was also carried out. The concentration of LAS was determined by the Methylene Blue Active Surfactant (MBAS) method using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that adsorption reached equilibrium after 90 minutes. A pH value of 5 is the optimum pH value for the adsorption of LAS by Moringa seeds. Using the Langmuir approach, the LAS adsorption capacity of Moringa seeds was calculated to be 400 mg/g.

Abstract

Spent bleaching earth (SBE), a waste generated from palm oil bleaching, contains residual oil and organic matter that block its pore structure and pose environmental disposal concerns. Regeneration of SBE is therefore essential to enable its reutilization. In this study, SBE was regenerated by calcination and further modified via KOH impregnation at concentrations of 1.00, 0.10, and 0.01 M. The regenerated materials were characterized using XRF, SEM, TEM, XRD, and BET surface area analysis. Calcination combined with 0.10 M KOH impregnation increased the surface area from 8.70 to 93.81 m2/g, approaching the value of activated bleaching earth (94.29 m2/g), and significantly altered pore volume and pore size distribution. These findings indicate that calcination restores the basic structure of SBE, while subsequent KOH impregnation enhances its morphological properties, highlighting the potential of regenerated SBE as a low-cost adsorbent or catalyst support.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effect of chitosan characteristics produced from the deacetylation of chitin with various concentrations of NaOH on its solubility in liquid smoke. Chitin produced from rajungan shell raw materials was deacetylated using 40% NaOH (K40%), 50% (K50%), and 60% (K60%). The resulting chitosan was then measured of its degree of deacetylation (DD), molecular weight (BM), and solubility in liquid smoke. The results showed that K40% had a DD of 56.99%, K50% had a DD of 72.86% and a BM of 149.1 kDa, also K60% had a DD of 82.87% and a BM of 102.6 kDa. The solubility of chitosan in 10% liquid smoke indicated that K40% was not dissolved, K50% was almost completely dissolved, and K60% was completely dissolved.

Abstract

The crystal phase-dependence of ruthenium supported on titania (Ru@TiO2) catalysts on the product selectivity in the aqueous phase hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol (FFalc) was investigated. The supported ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) catalysts on TiO2 with different phases, c.a. rutile (R), anatase (A), and brookite (B) were employed. The Ru@TiO2(R) catalysed the hydrogenation-rearrangement reaction of furan ring to afford cyclopentanone/cyclopentanol (CPO/CPL) as the main product. The presence of high surface acidity in Ru@TiO2(R) catalyst promoted the hydrogenation-rearrangement of furan ring leading to CPO/CPL as the main product as indicated by NH3-TPD and pyridine-ATR-IR results. In contrast, the Ru@TiO2(A) catalyst selectively hydrogenolysed the furan ring to produce 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PeD). This high selectivity of 1,5-PeD over Ru@TiO2(A) catalyst may be affected by the high dispersion of Ru NPs on TiO2 facets as depicted by the high H2-uptake and small particle sizes.

Abstract

A batch system was applied to study the effect of using macroporous cross-linked chitosan–Tripolyphosphate (TPP) beads on Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) values and turbidity in Sasirangan wastewater. The ionic cross-linking reagent sodium tripolyphosphate was used to obtain more rigid chitosan beads, and sodium bicarbonate was added as a porogen. The COD value was analyzed using the titrimetric method and the turbidity value using the turbidimetric method. This analysis was used to study the effect of dose and pH on the performance of beads in sasirangan wastewater. SEM characterization of the beads showed that NaHCO₃ as porogen enlarged the pores in the beads of chitosan-TPP, and FTIR characterization showed interactions among chitosan, chitosan–TPP beads, and wastewater. The results showed that higher chitosan dosages resulted in increased final COD values in sasirangan wastewater, and the higher the pH, the higher the COD value. The addition of beads reduced the turbidity value of the sasirangan wastewater, where higher doses led to greater turbidity reduction, with the optimum achieved at 400 mL/L. The pH conditions did not affect the reduction in the turbidity value where with less than 1% variation observed.

Abstract

Biomass-derived platform C5-furanic compounds such as furfural (FFald) and furfuryl alcohol (FFalc) can be converted into 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PeD), an important intermediate for textiles and plastics, via catalytic hydrogenolysis reaction. However, catalyst selectivity for the hydrogenolysis reaction of FFalc to 1,5-PeD remains a challenge. In this study, modification of ZrO2 with metal oxides such as TiO2(R), TiO2(A), g-Al2O3, and active carbon (C) as the supports of bimetallic ruthenium-tin (Ru-Sn) catalysts for the selective hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol (FFalc) to 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PeD) has been investigated systematically. The modified-ZrO2 supports were prepared by physical mixing using oxalic acid as a binder at room temperature, followed by calcination under N2 at 300°C (ramping 2.5°C min−1) for 2 h. The supported Ru-Sn catalysts were synthesised by using the coprecipitation-hydrothermal method at 150°C for 24 h and reduced with H2 at 400°C (ramping 3.3°C min−1) for 2 h. The synthesised catalysts were characterised by means of XRD, H2-TPR, and NH3-TPD. The pristine structures of ZrO2, TiO2, and g-Al2O3 were maintained during the preparation of catalysts. Ru-Sn/ZrO2-TiO2(A) catalyst (Ru = 4 wt%, Sn = 1.30 wt%, ZrO2 = 67 wt%, and TiO2 (A) = 33 wt%) with calcination temperature of 300°C gave the highest yield of 1,5-PeD (72%) at 140°C, H2 10 bar for 3 h.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji efisiensi dari kitosan dan tawas sebagai koagulan untuk pengolahan air gambut. Dosis dan pH optimum koagulasi ditentukan berdasarkan penurunan turbiditas dan kadar senyawa organik dalam air gambut setelah dikoagulasi dengan kitosan dan tawas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dosis optimum untuk kitosan sebesar 5 mg/L dan tawas sebesar 15 mg/L dengan penurunan turbiditas sebesar 81,91% dan 76,28%. Koagulasi oleh kitosan dan tawas dipengaruhi oleh pH, dimana koagulasi oleh kitosan berlangsung optimum pada pH 8 dengan penurunan turbiditas sebesar 83,36%. Untuk tawas, pH optimum koagulasi adalah pada pH 7 dengan penurunan turbiditas sebesar 88,02%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tawas lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan kitosan dalam menurunkan kadar senyawa organik pada air gambut.
