Abstract

Abstract This research aims to study the reaction kinetics of esterification reaction of glycerol with free fatty acid (FFA) using calcium oxide catalyst to produce mono-diacylglycerol (MDAG) using pseudo-homogeneous approach. The effects of time and temperature on the reaction conversion were investigated simultaneously. The FFA used was from the waste of cocoa production process, while the solid catalyst used was calcium oxide from eggshell ash. The results show that the cocoa based FFA was composed of palmitic acid (49.24%), methyl stearate (1.05%), oleic acid (25.39%), and stearic acid (24.32%). The calcium oxide content in the eggshell ash was 60% w/w. At all temperatures studied (60, 70, and 80oC), as the reaction time increased, the conversion increased sharply in the first 5 minute followed by a gradual raise to an almost constant value after 20 minutes (0.844; 0.845; and 0.854, respectively). Pseudo-homogeneous second order model can describe the reaction kinetics satisfactorily. The reaction constants (k) at 60, 70, and 80oC were 0.00384, 0.003401, and 0.003518 (L/mole.minute), respectively. The effects of temperature on reaction rate obey the Arrhenius’ equation with collision factor (A) is 0.2659 (L/mole.minute) and activation energy (Ea) is 3544 J/mol. Keywords: calcium oxide; free fatty acid; glycerol; pseudo-homogeneous approach

Abstract

Bio-etanol merupakan salah satu bahan bakar organik yang dapat diproduksi dari pati dan selulosa. Bahan berbasis selulosa dapat ditemukan dalam limbah organik, diantaranya: grajen kayu, ranting kering, daun kering, tongkol jagung, sekam padi dan lain-lain. Langkah-langkah penting pada produksi etanol dari lignoselulosa ialah hidrolisis untuk mengkonversi hemiselulosa dan selulosa menjadi gula, fermentasi gula untuk memproduksi etanol, dan pemurnian etanol. Penelitian ini mempelajari reaksi hidrolisis ranting kering dengan asam encer pada kondisi non-isotermis. Dua ratus gram ranting kering dicampur dengan 1200 cm3 larutan asam sulfat 0,18 N dan dipanaskan di dalam autoklaf. Selama proses hidrolisis ini, suhu akan terus naik (non-isotermis), kemudian setelah mencapai suhu tertentu dijaga tetap (suhu akhir). Hasil hidrolisis pertama diambil pada suhu 413 K dan seterusnya diambil setiap interval 5 menit. Suhu akhir divariasi pada 433 K, 453 K, 473 K dan 493 K. Metode Fehling dipilih untuk menganalisis kandungan gula di dalam sampel. Persamaan kinetika reaksi diperoleh dengan mengolah data dengan pendekatan model shrinking-core dengan ukuran partikel tetap. Nilai tetapan kecepatan reaksi meningkat sedangkan nilai tetapan transfer massa relatif tidak berubah pada berbagai suhu. Tetapan kecepatan reaksi dapat didekati dengan persamaan Arrhenius, dengan frekuensi tumbukan Ar = 0,083 l/(mol.menit) dan energi aktivasi Er = 20.000 J/mol. Untuk menyelidiki langkah mana yang mengontrol laju proses, dibandingkan tetapan kecepatan reaksi dan tetapan transfer massa pada 493 K, diperoleh nilai tetapan transfer massa berkisar 0,06 l/(mol.menit), dan nilai tetapan kecepatan reaksi berkisar 0,00051 l/(mol.menit), sehingga diperoleh bilangan Hatta 0,00933. Karena bilangan Hatta < 0,02 maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa reaksi kimia lebih mengontrol daripada transfer massa.

Abstract

This research aims to study the hydrolysis of passion fruit peel using cellulase and its evaluation for ethanol production. Passion fruit peel is a fruit processing waste that has not been utilized properly. Passion fruit peel contains holo-cellulose (64% w/w), which can be converted into ethanol through hydrolysis followed by fermentation. Hydrolysis using cellulase is more efficient and its fermentation using yeast to produce ethanol is common. The hydrolysis is carried out at various enzyme ratios (3, 5, 7, and 9% v/v) and at temperature 30 oC, material concentration 5 g/100 mL, pH 4-5, and shaking speed 160 rpm. The kinetics chosen were heterogeneous models; they were the fractal model by Valjamae and Kopelman. Before being hydrolyzed, the essential oil and pectin in passion fruit peel were extracted, because the compositions were quite high; the results were around 16.23 and 11.36% w/w, respectively. The effect of the enzyme ratio to the sugar concentration by hydrolysis is very significant. At 9 h, the glucose concentration reached 45.38, 51.86, 60.50, 66.00 g/L at various enzyme ratios of 3, 5, 7, 9% v/v. During the hydrolysis, the glucose concentration continues to increase and starts to decrease after 9 h. Hydrolyzate solution fermentation obtained from hydrolysis in various enzyme ratios showed consistent results; the higher the enzyme ratio and glucose, and the higher the ethanol will be (5.6, 6.8, 7.6, and 8.9% v/v). The kinetics model by Valjamae is more appropriate to describe the enzymatic hydrolysis mechanism of passion fruit peel than Kopelman. The fractal exponent values obtained from Valjamae and Kopelman models were 0.28 and 0.27. In Valjamae model, the enzyme ratio rises, from 3 to 9% v/v, the rate constant rises from 0.22 to 0.53 1/h. In Kopelman model, the rate constant rises too, from 0.21 to 0.51 1/h.Keywords: bio-ethanol; cellulase; enzymatic hydrolysis; fractal kinetic; passion fruit peel

Abstract

Banana is one of the fruits that can thrive in Indonesia. This plant is often found in tropical soils with slightly moist soil conditions. However, banana peels are underutilized and are only disposed of as agricultural waste. On the other hand, the carbohydrate content of banana peels is still quite high, reaching 12.2% so it can be used as raw material for making bioethanol. Carbohydrates in the substrate cannot be directly converted into bioethanol but need to be pretreated first to break down polysaccharides into monosaccharides. In this research, the pretreatment process of carbohydrate hydrolysis from banana peels into reducing sugars is studied. From the studies, the reducing sugar concentration was obtained with banana peels substrate concentration of 20 g/L, 5 M of sulfuric acid concentration, and an optimum hydrolysis time of 70 minutes with the obtained reducing sugar reach 16.82 g/L. Reducing sugar can be converted into bioethanol by fermentation process with S. cerevisiae yeast. It is hoped that these studies can provide an initial impact on the development of alternative energy based on biomass and utilization of banana peel waste.

Abstract

A chemical-based insect repellent such as N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) is commonly used against all insects despite its toxicity in humans. Hence, a repellent agent from natural sources of plant essential oil was introduced. Some of the plants which have the repellent potential are catnip, hairy basil, citronella, vetiver, clove, and citrus. Citronellal, citronellol, geraniol, eugenol, eugenol-acetate, and beta-caryophyllene are among the repellent active components in these plants. Citrus hystrix (kaffir lime) was known for several applications in food, health, and skincare, but its potential as mosquito repellent is still new. This overview paper highlights the potential of kaffir lime essential oil as a mosquito repellent and the encapsulation of essential oil related to mosquito repellent. Several studies on kaffir lime essential oil as mosquito repellent was conducted and revealed that the major repellent active components are citronellol and limonene. Pure kaffir lime essential oil provides one-hour repellent protection against the mosquito. However, an addition of 5% vanillin prolongs the protection time to three hours. Essential oil is easily vaporized at room temperature which shortens its effectiveness time. Encapsulation of the essential oil would control the vaporization process and hence prolong its efficiency. Nonetheless, almost no research work reported on the encapsulation of kaffir lime essential oil and the release mechanism of the encapsulated kaffir lime.
