Abstract

Abstrak-Indonesia merupakan negara agraris dengan produksi padi yang besar, dimana seiring tingginya produksi padi maka semakin tinggi pula potensi limbah padi yang dihasilkan, salah satunya berupa sekam padi yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan furfural. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa pengaruh jenis dan konsentrasi katalisator asam terhadap perolehan furfural, menentukan kadar furfural yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan kedua jenis katalisator asam dalam berbagai variasi konsentrasi serta menentukan jenis dan konsentrasi katalisator asam yang dapat menghasilkan kadar furfural terbesar. Penelitian ini berlangsung dalam tiga tahapan, yaitu tahap persiapan bahan baku, proses hidrolisa dan distilasi. Persiapan bahan baku dilakukan dengan menghaluskan sekam padi hingga 80 mesh kemudian dikeringkan menggunakan oven. Proses hidrolisa menggunakan katalisator asam dilakukan selama 4 jam dengan suhu 85oC, hidrolisat disaring untuk selanjutnya dilakukan pemurnian dengan distilasi. Penelitian dilakukan dengan memvariasikan katalisator asam berupa asam sulfat dan asam klorida dengan konsentrasi 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% dan 9%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sintesis furfural dari sekam padi dapat menghasilkan furfural tertinggi pada katalisator asam sulfat dengan konsentrasi 1%. Adapun kadar furfural yang diperoleh pada katalisator asam sulfat dengan konsentrasi 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% dan 9% berturut-turut sebesar 1,815%; 1,256%;  0,933%; 0,733% dan 0,730%, sedangkan kadar furfural yang diperoleh pada katalisator asam klorida sebesar 1,659%; 1,126%; 0,848%; 0,737% dan 0,726%. Keywords:hidrolisa, distilasi, katalisator asam, furfural Abstract-Indonesia is an agrarian country with a large rice production, where rice production is often high, the potential of rice waste will be higher, one of the waste is rice hull that can be used as raw material for the manufacture of furfural. This research aims to determine the type and concentration of acid catalyst in the manufacture of furfural, and analyze the effect of acid catalyst type and concentration to furfural obtained. This research was done by three stages, namely preparation of raw materials, hydrolysis and distillation process. Preparation of raw materials was started by reducing the rice hull’s size up to 80 mesh and then drying. Acid catalyst hydrolysis carried out for four hours with the operating temperature of 85 oC, then filtered hydrolyzate was purified by distillation. Research was done by varying the acid catalyst in the form of sulfuric acid and hidrochloric acid with the concentration of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9%. The results showed that the synthesis of furfural from rice hull obtained the highest furfural concentration on the sulfuric acidcatalyst at 1% concentration. The furfural obtained with concentration of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9% on a sulfuric acidcatalyst respectively at 1.815%; 1.256%; 0.933%; 0.733% and 0.730%, while the furfural obtained on the hydrochloric acid catalyst respectively at 1.659%; 1.126%; 0.848%; 0.737% and 0.726%. Keywords:hydrolysis, distillation, acid catalyst, furfural

Abstract

The use of alternative energy is needed to overcome the availability of fossil energy sources. One alternative energy source is water hyacinth through a pyrolysis process using a catalyst. Fly ash has the potential to be a catalyst given its very low utilization in Indonesia. Utilization of water hyacinth biomass through a pyrolysis process using a fly ash catalyst was carried out to determine the effect of catalyst activation and the amount of the catalyst on the pyrolysis product. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum amount of catalyst and the effect of catalyst activation on water hyacinth pyrolysis products. The experiment was carried out in an electric pyrolysis reactor equipped with a condenser as a coolant and a thermocouple. Nitrogen gas is fed into the pyrolysis reactor to create inert conditions that prevent sample burning. The crushed water hyacinth samples were put into the reactor with the fly ash catalyst with a catalyst composition of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of the raw material. The process lasted for 1 hour at 500 oC. The liquid product in the form of bio-oil is collected and then its mass and volume are measured. The solid product in the form of charcoal is taken after the pyrolysis process is complete and the reactor reaches room temperature and then its mass is measured. The highest liquid and solid yields were obtained with 10% activated catalyst variations, namely 39.142% for liquids and 45.144% for solids.
