Abstract

Tamarind or Tamarindus indica is a plant originating from Asia and Africa. Tamarind wood has high cellulose that could be activated into activated carbon and modified to become a catalyst from its ingredient nature. This study aims to find optimum conditions for producing activated carbon from tamarind charcoal. Research on the activation of tamarind charcoal begins with reducing the size of charcoal. Then the charcoal was sieved to obtain 40, 60, and 60 mesh charcoal sizes. Furthermore, the charcoal was soaked in HCl (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 M) for 1 hour, after which it was filtered, and the pH of the charcoal was neutralized by washing using distilled water. The final step is to dry activated carbon in an oven at 105 ºC. Then, the performance of activated carbon is sought by using activated carbon to adsorb dyes in a dye solution. The concentration of the dye solution before and after being adsorbed with activated carbon was measured by UV-vis spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 560 nm.  Adsorption effectiveness is measured. The greatest effectiveness value obtained was 82.31%. Optimum conditions for activating carbon from tamarind charcoal were obtained by activating 60 mesh of carbon using a hydrochloric acid solution of 4 M. The use of activated carbon at different concentrations of dye solutions produces the same optimum conditions. It is proven that activated carbon can be produced from tamarind charcoal.  Tamarind charcoal can be used as an adsorbent material.

Abstract

Plastic and biomass waste disposal will increase if it is not accompanied by appropriate, efficient, and effective waste treatment. Recent research on the yield of charcoal produced by co-pyrolysis has shown that the product of co-pyrolysis of plastic and biomass raw materials is a beneficial additive with a variety of applications, ranging from soil and water improvement, increasing agricultural yields, fuel cells, supercapacitors, as a support/ catalysts, sustainable chemistry, and carbon sequestration. Therefore researchers need to ensure the quality of the results of co-pyrolysis in the form of biochar obtained from any raw material and process to provide maximum benefits, mainly from biomass and plastic raw materials. This study aims to review the formation of biochar from the co-pyrolysis of plastic and biomass raw materials by examining the raw materials, pyrolysis techniques, and the type of reactor used to identify the appropriate parameters. This review discusses biochar production techniques, pyrolysis technology mechanisms, types of pyrolysis, the type of reactor used, the properties of both biomass and plastic raw materials and the properties of biochar produced from various raw materials for comparison. Biochar will be obtained with maximum yield quality from the results of mixing the raw materials for biomass and plastic and optimal operating conditions. It can be an alternative in the bio-oil and syngas energy sector and reduce carbon emissions.

Abstract

Renewable energy in the form of biodiesel requires a process called transesterification. This process runs slowly, so a catalyst is needed to reduce the activation energy and speed up the reaction rate. Activated carbon is one of the supports in transesterification catalysts because of its high surface area and is proven to be effective in gas or liquid phase reactions. This work aims to study the potential of active carbon from tamarind wood for making catalysts, the characteristics of the catalyst and the optimal concentration of Fe(NO3)3 in the impregnation step. Activated carbon was impregnated using an Ultrasonic Processor with 80% strength at 60 oC for 60 minutes. The impregnation process was carried out with variations of 2, 4, and 6% Fe(NO3)3 dissolved in 0.09M isopropyl alcohol. Variation of processing time 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 minutes. Furthermore, after the activated carbon is allowed to stand for 24 hours, a calcination process is carried out at 300oC to remove impurities. Obtained materials have been characterized by SEM and XRD. The Fe-impregnation process has been successfully carried out on activated carbon made from Tamarind wood (Tamarindus indica L.). In the Fe precursor solution concentration range of 2 – 6%, the higher the concentration of the Fe precursor solution, the higher the impregnated Fe metal. Fe-impregnated activated carbon has the characteristics of being a material consisting of a mixture of crystalline and amorphous phases with even porous surface morphology. This Fe-impregnated activated carbon is a potential material as a catalyst in the biodiesel production process.

Abstract

Plastic is one of the items widely used by the world's population, including in industry. Apart from being cheaper, plastic also has the advantage of being waterproof and having good strength to withstand the load carried. However, plastic has weaknesses in the decomposition process and can cause environmental pollution. Corn has a high percentage of starch content and is easy to cultivate in Indonesia, so corn has the potential to become one of the raw materials used in making bioplastics to reduce the plastic waste produced. This research aims to determine the effect of adding CaCOᴣ and glycerol fillers in synthesizing bioplastics from corn starch. The method applied in this research is pouring the solution. Based on research, the reaction to make bioplastic from corn starch with CaCO3 filler and glycerol is an esterification reaction. The higher the CaCO₃ content in bioplastics, the smaller the percent elongation value produced, the tensile strength properties will decrease, and this will result in the %w loss value decreasing. The low tensile strength is due to the presence of empty holes in the bioplastic product. Meanwhile, more glycerol will cause an increase in the percent elongation value, a decrease in tensile strength, and easy degradation. The bioplastic that has specification close to SNI standards was obtained using 5 ml of glycerol and 2 grams of CaCO₃ for 100 g of corn starch.

Abstract

Urbanisasi dan industrialisasi yang pesat meningkatkan risiko polusi logam berat, mengakibatkan dampak ekologis yang merugikan dan klasifikasi sebagai polutan utama. Logam berat seperti kadmium, kromium, merkuri, arsenik, timbal, dan seng tidak dapat terurai secara alami, menyebabkan tanah tidak cocok untuk pertanian. Fitoremediasi, dengan menggunakan tanaman hiperakumulator, muncul sebagai solusi untuk mengatasi kontaminasi logam berat, tetapi menghadapi tantangan polusi sekunder dari pelepasan ulang kontaminan oleh biomassa tanaman. Review ini mengevaluasi metode perlakuan pasca-fitoremediasi, termasuk perlakuan panas (insinerasi, pirolisis, dan gasifikasi), ekstraksi (dengan agen seperti amonium asetat dan amonium oksalat), pengomposan, dan pemadatan. Meskipun perlakuan panas efektif dalam menghilangkan logam berat, diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai efisiensi dan pemulihan logam berat. Pengomposan, meskipun mengurangi volume biomassa, memiliki risiko remobilisasi logam berat. Pemadatan, sebagai alternatif, melibatkan tekanan untuk memadatkan biomassa tanaman. Pemilihan metode perlakuan harus mempertimbangkan efisiensi, biaya, dan dampak lingkungan. Kesadaran akan potensi polusi sekunder dan pengelolaan limbah hasil dari perlakuan sangat penting untuk keberlanjutan upaya remediasi logam berat. Diperlukan penelitian lanjutan dalam pengembangan teknologi pasca-fitoremediasi dan pemantauan lingkungan untuk mendukung keberlanjutan upaya remediasi logam berat.Kata kunci: Limbah, Biomassa, Logam berat, Lingkungan, Fitoremediasi

Abstract

Peningkatan jumlah penduduk Indonesia dari 255,88 juta jiwa pada tahun 2015 menjadi 281,6 juta jiwa pada tahun 2024 telah mendorong pertumbuhan konsumsi listrik rumah tangga secara signifikan. Sektor ini menyumbang sekitar 42% dari total konsumsi listrik nasional, menjadikannya sasaran strategis dalam upaya efisiensi energi. Namun, pertumbuhan konsumsi tersebut belum sepenuhnya diiringi oleh praktik penggunaan energi yang efisien, sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan krisis energi dan tekanan terhadap lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peran manajemen energi dalam meningkatkan efisiensi konsumsi listrik di sektor rumah tangga melalui pendekatan studi literatur. Metode yang digunakan adalah kajian pustaka dengan penelusuran berbagai sumber ilmiah, data statistik nasional, serta laporan kebijakan energi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa konsumsi listrik per kapita Indonesia meningkat dari 0,84 MWh pada tahun 2013 menjadi 1,20 MWh pada tahun 2023, namun masih tertinggal dibandingkan negara-negara anggota G20, seperti Korea Selatan (11 MWh) dan Jepang (8,2 MWh). Penerapan manajemen energi melalui edukasi literasi energi, pemanfaatan peralatan hemat energi, penerapan teknologi rumah pintar, sistem tarif berbasis waktu, serta integrasi energi terbarukan seperti panel surya atap terbukti mampu menekan pemborosan energi secara signifikan. Meski demikian, implementasi strategi ini masih menghadapi tantangan berupa rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat, keterbatasan infrastruktur, dan kendala finansial. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sinergi antara pemerintah, masyarakat, dan sektor swasta untuk mewujudkan ekosistem energi rumah tangga yang cerdas, efisien, dan berkelanjutan sebagai bagian dari upaya mencapai ketahanan energi nasional.
