Abstract

Membrane technology has gained attention in wastewater treatment due to its great potential for producing high-grade water products for reuse. The membrane also effectively removes persistent pollutants in water effluent. However, their application is constrained by low productivity due to fouling formation. Incorporating functionalized nanoparticles into polymeric membranes has attracted much attention due to the improved membrane performance and additional features. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) incorporated into polymeric membranes have been widely applied in reverse osmosis (RO), forward osmosis (FO), nanofiltration (NF), and microfiltration (MF) for water and wastewater treatment. This short review presented recent findings, fabrication methods, and a systematic understanding of transport mechanisms under various operating conditions. This study also focused on several important parameters, such as improving physicochemical properties, membrane features, and performance enhancement in wastewater treatment. The reported studies show that MOFs incorporated membranes have reached >95% organic pollutants and 100% suspended solids. The membrane durability was also enhanced up to 140%, and the flux recovery can be maintained at 98% after several cycles. Even some MOFs, such as ZIF-8 and UiO-66, exhibited excellent performance in harsh conditions (pH < 4). The prospects and challenges of MOFs-incorporated membranes in industrial applications were also provided in this study.

Abstract

The daily abundant generation of fruit peel waste potentially triggers environmental problems if no appropriate management is performed. Besides, fruit peel waste can be a valuable source for functional enzyme production. This study aims to investigate the use of molasses and palm sugar as sugar source during anaerobic fermentation of banana and papaya peel waste to produce functional enzymes. The fermentation was subjected to biomass at various banana peels to papaya peels mass ratio for 3 months. The feed consisted of sugar:biomass:water, and their mass ratio was kept constant at 1:3:10. Both brown functional enzyme cocktails obtained from the fermentation using palm sugar and molasses as carbon source were acidic with pH of 3.7 and 4.4, respectively. The amylase, protease, and lipase activities of the functional enzyme cocktails was maximum when the biomass mixture contained four portions of banana peel and one portion of papaya peel. In addition, molasses was found to be the better sugar source than palm sugar for producing functional enzymes from aerobic fermentation peel fruits comprises banana and papaya peels. This study proved that fruit peel waste can be converted to valuable functional enzymes as one of the solutions of fruit peel waste management Keywords: anaerobic fermentation; carbon source; enzyme activity; functional enzyme; organic waste

Abstract

Alkaline Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (APEFCs) have emerged as a promising candidate for clean energy production. Anion exchange membrane (AEM) is an essential element of alkaline polymer electrolyte fuel cells for its role in facilitating hydroxide ion conduction. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a glutaraldehyde-based crosslinker solution on the performance of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) fabricated using quaternary ammonium poly (vinyl alcohol) (QPVA) as the backbone polymer and polyquaternium-7 as the second polymer. The introduction of a glutaraldehyde-based crosslinking agent was purposed to enhance membrane stability and reduce excessive swelling. The study evaluates the impact of varying glutaraldehyde concentrations on membrane performance. FTIR analysis confirms the presence of key functional groups of QPVA, polyquaternium-7, and the crosslinking agent. SEM images reveal that the membranes demonstrate dense and homogeneous physical structure. The results show that water uptake, swelling degree, ion exchange capacity (IEC), and hydroxide conductivity are influenced by the concentration of the glutaraldehyde solution. The QP-GA-13 AEM exhibited the best overall performance, achieving the highest tensile strength of 31.1 MPa and the highest hydroxide ion conductivity of 4.15 mS cm⁻¹ at 70°C. In single-cell tests, this membrane delivered a maximum power density of 85 mW cm⁻² and a current density of 350 mA cm⁻² at 80°C under humidified oxygen conditions.

Abstract

This study investigates the pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) using the open-source process simulation software DWSIM to evaluate the impact of temperature on product distribution, particularly bio-oil, biochar, and pyrolysis gas. OPEFB, an abundant lignocellulosic waste from Indonesia’s palm oil industry, holds significant potential as a renewable biomass feedstock. The simulation model was developed based on thermochemical conversion principles and was validated against selected experimental data from the literature. Results show that pyrolysis temperature significantly influences the yield and composition of the products. The gas yield increased with temperature up to 460°C, dominated by CO, CO₂, and H₂ due to the decomposition of volatile organic matter. However, gas yield declined beyond 460°C, likely due to secondary reactions converting gas precursors into liquid products. The optimal temperature was found to be around 510°C, offering a balanced yield of bio-oil and gas with minimal biochar formation. The chemical composition of bio-oil included furfural, phenols, alcohols, and acetic acid—compounds derived from the breakdown of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Biochar yield decreased with temperature, but its quality improved in terms of carbon content and fixed carbon fraction. This study highlights the utility of DWSIM as an accessible and transparent tool for simulating biomass pyrolysis. Future work should focus on refining the kinetic parameters, experimental validation of simulation results, and integrating downstream processing for fuel and chemical recovery.

Abstract

This study optimized the Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) of sappan wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) using Central Composite Design-Response Surface Methodology (CCD-RSM) and investigated its kinetics. Temperature, solvent-to-solid ratio, and extraction time were selected as independent variables with extract yield as the response. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that the solvent-to-solid ratio significantly affected yield. Optimal extraction conditions were 69.9°C, 29.9 mL/g, and 20.2 min, producing approximately yield of 0,293 mg GAE/g sample. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) confirmed the presence of brazilin, while Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) analysis indicated the retention of functional groups. UAE was shown to enhance extraction efficiency and preserve phenolic compounds. Additionally, the extraction process was modeled, resulting in a validated effective diffusivity (De) of 1.8 × 10?? cm²/s, The kinetic study was useful in industrial application especially to determine appropriate extraction time.

Abstract

Biodiesel represents a promising renewable energy alternative to either substitute or be blended with conventional diesel, offering advantages such as a high cetane number, reduced sulfur (SOx) and CO₂ emissions, and greater environmental sustainability. The application of calcium oxide (CaO) as a basic catalyst in biodiesel production has been extensively reported. However, its catalytic performance is limited by its sensitivity to moisture, which can negatively affect the reaction rate. In addition, some of the Ca2+ ions in the catalyst can dissolve in the mixture of biodiesel and glycerol, causing product contamination. This study aims to combine a CaO catalyst from marble powder with sulfonated silica (SiO2) from rice husk ash (RHA) to enhance the distribution of catalyst particles, reduce crystallinity, and increase the surface area of the catalyst. This study was conducted through chemical and thermal activation of SiO2 from RHA, sulfonation of SiO2, thermal activation of CaO from marble powder waste, and impregnation of CaO/SiO2 catalyst with variations in CaO/SiO2 composition (25%:75%, 50%:50%, 75%:25%). The results showed that the purity of SiO2 and CaO obtained through chemical and thermal activation was 93.67% and 99.13%, respectively. The sulfonation process on SiO2 successfully added –SO3 groups at 36.5%, which supported the formation of acid sites on the catalyst. Characterization showed that the surface morphology was composed of particles measuring 2–8 µm with a dominant amorphous structure. The addition of SiO2 gave rise to new crystal peaks but decreased the crystal intensity, especially at the 50%:50% composition. The composition of CaO/SiO2 at 75%:25% showed the best physical properties with a surface area of 22.24 m²/g, a pore volume of 65.29 mm³/g, and a pore diameter of 11.74 nm, indicating high potential as a bifunctional catalyst for biodiesel esterification–transesterification.
