Abstract

Biodiesel is one of the promising energy source alternatives to fossil fuel. To produce biodiesel in a more economical way, the employment of the low-cost feed stocks, such as non-edible oils with high free fatty acid (FFA), is necessary. Accordingly, the esterification reaction of FFA in vegetable oils plays an important role in the biodiesel production. In this work, esterification of FFA contained in Crude Jatropha Oil (CJO) in the presence of tin (II) chloride catalyst in a batch reactor has been carried out. The esterification reaction was conducted using methanol at the temperature of 40-60 °C for 4 hours. The effect of molar ratio of methanol to oil was studied in the range 15:1 to 120:1. The influence of catalyst loading was investigated in the range of 2.5 to 15% w/w oil. The optimum reaction conversion was obtained at 60 °C with the catalyst loading of 10% w/w oil and molar ratio of methanol to oil of 120:1. A pseudo-homogeneous reversible second order kinetic model for describing the esterification of FFA contained in CJO with methanol over tin (II) chloride catalyst was developed based on the experimental data. The kinetic model can fit the data very well.

Abstract

The Clean and Healthy Living Behavior Program (PHBS) is an effort to prevent disease by getting used to clean living and healthy behavior. PHBS is very important to be applied to the entire community, including Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI). PMI live overseas, so health is very important. If they get sick, it will create new problems because access to health services is limited, and there is no family who can look after them. The solution offered to partners' problems is socialization regarding clean and healthy living habits, as well as how to get used to clean and healthy behavior. The development of a video about how to get used to living a clean and healthy life aims to increase the capacity of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia to get used to living a clean and healthy life, so that they can prevent disease attacks. The use of videos is intended to make socialization activities more effective. The Indonesian Embassy in Johor Bahru is a service partner, which will assist in bridging the service program that UNNES will carry out for PMI in the Johor Bahru Region. After conducting outreach to PMIs, the next step is to form several groups consisting of several PMIs to ensure the sustainability of the implementation of the PHBS program. The result of this activity is the availability of the PMI group as a forum for sharing and doing joint activities , as well as increasing knowledge and understanding about PHBS.

Abstract

Well service operations in the oil and gas industry utilize sweep fluids based on xanthan gum (XCD), which generate high-viscosity waste with the potential to cause environmental pollution. Due to its natural polymer characteristics, XCD waste has significant potential to be utilized as a raw material for biodegradable bioplastic production. This study aims to synthesize and characterize biodegradable bioplastics derived from XCD waste generated from Hi-Vis sweep operations during well service activities in Bunyu Field. The bioplastics were prepared using the solution casting method with variations in XCD concentration (1.0–2.0%), plasticizer type (glycerol and sorbitol), and plasticizer concentration (20–40%). The resulting bioplastics were characterized through film thickness, water absorption, and biodegradation rate tests. The experimental data were further analyzed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on a Central Composite Design (CCD).The results showed that increasing plasticizer concentration enhanced both water absorption capacity and film flexibility. Bioplastics plasticized with glycerol exhibited a higher biodegradation rate compared to those containing sorbitol. These findings demonstrate that XCD waste from Hi-Vis sweep operations can be effectively valorized as an environmentally friendly raw material for biodegradable bioplastic production.
