Abstract

CO2 emissions are one component of greenhouse gases, it is estimated that around 18.35 billion tons of CO2 are released every year (Sulistyono, 2012). This is because the world economy is recovering from the Covid-19 crisis by relying on coal. Based on IEA data, CO₂ emissions from energy combustion and industrial processes accounted for almost 89% of the energy sector's greenhouse gas emissions in 2021, while CO2 emissions from gas combustion contributed 0.7%. One way to reduce CO₂ in the atmosphere is by converting CO2 and using it into chemicals, for example hydrogenating CO2 into methane. The aim of this research is to create a fixed bed reactor for CO₂ methanation so as to reduce carbon dioxide pollution, while the research will use a Ni catalyst with alumina support (AL2O3)2. In this research, CO₂ was used as a raw material with a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst. Methane gas produced from carbon dioxide using a fixed bed reactor is a little at 1.34% Vol with a flow rate of 0.3 L/m and a concentration of 1 M to 9.25% Vol with a flow rate of 0.1 L/m and a concentration of 3 M for 60 minutes at a temperature of 55°????.

Abstract

Improved absorption of rubber backbone on filler surfaces is necessary to enhance the physical properties of rubber vulcanizate. One of the ways to repair the surface of the filler is through modifying using surfactant. Hence, this study aims to compare the physical properties of natural rubber vulcanizates using clay filler and modified clay with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The processes that were followed to achieve the objectives of this research were the design of rubber formulas, mastication and milling of rubber, and testing of the physical properties of rubber vulcanization. The clay characterization and its modification using FTIR and XRD were also carried out. Characterization using FTIR and XRD showed that there was indeed a clay modification with CTAB. Natural rubber compounds were also analyzed using SEM. The torque on the rheometer for modified clay with CTAB is 12.34 kg-cm higher than for original clay, which is 7.05 kg-cm. Elongation at break and tensile strength for vulcanizate using CTAB-modified clay filler is lower than that using original clay, with 300% modulus and hardness increase. Thus, clay modification using CTAB as a filler has a good effect on the curing characteristics and physical properties of natural rubber vulcanization compared to only using local clay as a filler.

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the biggest contributors to the greenhouse effect. Based on International Energy Agency (IEA) data, global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from burning energy and industrial activities will reach 36.8 billion tons in 2022. The increase in emissions in 2022 will mainly come from burning coal and fuel oil (Fuel Oil). Carbon dioxide emissions from coal rose 1.6% while fuel oil emissions increased 2.5%. One effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is to convert carbon dioxide into methane gas (CH4) which can be used as fuel. This research aims to produce methane gas from carbon dioxide using Ni/Al2O3 catalyst treatment and varying CO2 flow rates. In this research, CO2 was used as a raw material with a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst and Zn metal. Based on the research results, the highest conversion yield of methane gas was 49.23% with a variation of 0.05 L/minute with Ni_R4 catalyst treatment

Abstract

CO₂ emissions are one form of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to global warming. CO₂ contributed 175.62 million tons in 2021, impacting greenhouse gas levels. One strategy to reduce the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere is to convert CO₂ gas into useful chemicals. One example of this is the hydrogenation of CO₂ to produce methane, which can serve as an alternative to LPG. The aim of this research is to produce methane gas by developing a fixed bed reactor in a simple manner. The catalyst Ni/Al2O3 with 20 grams and five regenerations could produce CH₄ up to 49.73% compared to 39.06% for those with 10 grams. However, the H2 gas remaining is higher for those with 10 grams (1.454 ppm compared to 1.042 ppm). Also, The CO2 gas remaining is higher for those with 10 grams (58.18% compared to 47.92%). The results of this study can be the basis for developing energy policies, encouraging investment in clean energy technologies, and supporting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions for energy sustainability and resilience.

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is a gas that can be a threat to the environment because its emissions continue to increase from year to year. Therefore, this research aims to utilize CO2 gas and convert it to methane gas (CH4) using a fixed bed reactor type reactor containing a catalyst. In this study, the CO2 methanation process was carried out with the help of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst supported with Zn metal in situ. This study varies the catalyst treatment denoted by Ni_R0 - Ni_R4, with the amount of catalyst as much as 50 grams and variations in the operating time of the CO2 methanation process for 70 minutes and 80 minutes. The highest methane gas yield of 50.11% was obtained in sample 10 with the Ni_R4 catalyst treatment variation (Ni_R0 - Ni_R4 variation) for 80 minutes (70 minutes and 80 minutes variation). The longer the methanation process, the longer the contact process between CO2 gas and NaOH solution.
