Abstract

Utilization of Fine coal gasified with CO2 (Carbon dioxide) gas to produce CO (Carbon Monoxide) fuel is one effort to utilize coal waste and utilize CO2 greenhouse gas emissions. Testing was carried out at the Sriwijaya University Laboratory in Palembang with the aim of analyzing the production process of CO gas as fuel by utilizing the greenhouse gas CO2 through the gasification of fine coal solid waste and knowing and analyzing the influence of temperature, reaction time and CO2 gas debid on the Boundouard reaction on gas yields. CO and CO2. So we get the variable that produces the expected CO gas. The initial stage is to prepare 2.3 kg of fine coal and the grain size has been filtered to a size of <3mm or or mesh 8 – 18 then heated to a temperature of 500˚C with a time of 68 minutes 48 seconds for the carbonization process. Fine coal that has been carbonized is then reacted with CO2 gas in a heating furnace at variable temperatures of 300 ˚C, 400 ˚C, 450 ˚C and 500˚C and at a flow rate of 2.5 L/min, 5 L/min, 7.5 L/min, 10 L/min, 15 L/min. From 26 test samples, it shows that the best variable for producing CO gas is heating at a temperature of 500˚C with a CO2 reactor gas discharge of 5 L/min which can produce CO gas with a concentration of 208,586 ppm and CO2 gas is 357,703 ppm with CO & CO2 ratio is 0.583.

Abstract

Many surface waters in the world are impounded by eutrophication due to the global warming phenomenon. This study analyzed the trophic level in the Bangka Strait, a busy pathway that connects two provinces (Bangka and South Sumatra) of Indonesia, using MODIS-Terra chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) data from the 2020 year. We applied the GIS analysis to generate Chl-a concentration and trophic state maps over the study area. The results of the study revealed that the mesotrophic, eutrophic, and oligotrophic status encompass 50%, 43%, and 7% of the Bangka Strait region, respectively. The highest concentration of Chl-a was observed in May (5.38 g/L), while the lowest was observed in September (3.02 g/L). Our study revealed that the high Chl-a concentration was primarily due to nutrient contributions from South Sumatra rivers. On the other hand, the COVID-19 restriction policy significantly reduced Chl-a from July to October. The trophic state of the Bangka Strait was at a mesotrophic level, and the major contributors to the trophic condition in the strait came from the coasts of South Sumatra, which mostly consisted of agricultural and aquacultural activities. These findings will be useful in developing an effective policy for monitoring and protecting surface waters from eutrophication events.

Abstract

The production of palm oil shell waste in the palm oil industry is increasing,  but the utilization of palm oil shell waste has not been utilized optimally. Palm Oil Shells must be processed and utilized to reduce pollution and increase the use value of waste. This research aims to utilize palm oil shell waste using an Al/Cr metal pillared bentonite catalyst with a gasification process to produce synthesis gas. The bentonite pillarization process using Al/Cr metal aims to increase the catalyst surface area, basal distance and catalyst surface acidity so as to increase the catalytic activity of the catalyst in the gasification process. The gasification process is carried out at temperatures of 450, 500, 550 and 600°C. Adding the Al/Cr metal pillared bentonite catalyst, the H2 concentration increased significantly. The effect of increasing temperature can increase the H2 content by consuming CO within a certain time limit. The gasification process at temperature 600°C with a 20% Al/Cr metal pillared bentonite catalyst is the optimal condition for producing synthesis gas. The heating value of the gasification results in terms of the optimum HHV and LHV values is 16.21 MJ/Nm3 and 14.59 MJ/Nm3. Based on research, gasification of palm oil shells using an Al/Cr metal pillared bentonite catalyst is feasible for the production of environmentally friendly fuel

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize zeolite from coal combustion bottom ash using the hydrothermal method and evaluate its effectiveness in adsorbing heavy metals—specifically cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu). Bottom ash was treated via alkali fusion at 750°C, followed by acid activation with 1 M HCl to extract silica and alumina. Zeolite synthesis was hydrothermal at 100°C with 6, 12, and 24 hours of crystallization. Sodium aluminate (NaAlO2) was added to adjust the Si/Al ratio and enhance structural stability. The synthesized zeolites were characterized using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The sample crystallized for 12 hours and exhibited the highest SiO2/Al2O3 ratio, measuring 3.73. Adsorption tests revealed optimal performance at pH 5–9 and 120 minutes contact time, achieving removal efficiencies of 97.84% for Pb2+, 99.47% for Cd2+, 99.73% for Fe2+, and 99.91% for Cu2+. These findings demonstrate that bottom ash-derived zeolite is a promising, low-cost adsorbent for heavy metal removal from wastewater. It supports use in sustainable and long-term industrial effluent treatment systems.

Abstract

Salah satu infrastruktur yang digunakan untuk membantu mengurangi risiko banjir adalah saluran drainase. Saluran drainase di kawasan permukiman padat penduduk berfungsi untuk menyalurkan aliran air, baik dari limbah domestik maupun air hujan, menuju tempat pembuangan akhir. Jalan lingkungan Daerah Golf Permai, Kelurahan Talang Ubi Selatan, merupakan salah satu akses masyarakat yang sering mengalami banjir akibat kurang berfungsinya saluran drainase. Hujan berintensitas tinggi yang berlangsung lama dapat menyebabkan air meluap ke area permukiman karena terbatasnya kapasitas saluran serta minimnya akses ke sungai utama akibat tidak terintegrasinya drainase dengan tata ruang wilayah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ketepatan pengambilan keputusan pembangunan drainase sebagai salah satu faktor pengendalian banjir dengan daya tampung genangan yang memadai serta menilai ketepatan pembangunan drainase dari perspektif hidrologi dan tata ruang. Pendekatan Fishbone Analysis terbukti efektif dalam mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor utama penyebab banjir secara sistematis, seperti teknis, tata ruang, lingkungan, dan partisipasi masyarakat. Kelebihan metode ini adalah kemampuannya menyusun hubungan sebab-akibat yang jelas dan mendalam untuk mendukung pengambilan keputusan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sistem drainase di Jalan Akses Golf Permai, Kelurahan Talang Ubi Selatan, Kabupaten Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir, secara umum masih mampu menampung debit limpasan hujan berdasarkan hasil analisis hidrologi dan hidraulika menggunakan metode Manning, dimana hasil perhitungan debit rencana sebesar 0,121 m³/dtk berada dalam kapasitas saluran eksisting, sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa saluran mampu berfungsi efektif pada kondisi hujan normal. Namun, analisis curah hujan periode 2015–2024 mengindikasikan peningkatan risiko banjir pada tahun 2023–2024, dipicu oleh curah hujan ekstrem, elevasi air sungai, serta keterbatasan distribusi jaringan drainase di kawasan tersebut.

Abstract

Spent Bleaching Earth is an industrial waste generated primarily from vegetable oil processing and contains     20-40% oil by weight, which poses a fire hazard due to the risk of spontaneous combustion. Commonly, Spent Bleaching Earth is processed using extraction methods with solvents like n-hexane, methanol, or steam. However, transforming SBE into liquid fuel via pyrolysis remains underexplored. This research aims to convert into liquid fuel through pyrolysis. The process was conducted at 600 °C for 90 min, resulting in pyrolysis oil with a density of 992.8 kg/m³, a viscosity of 31.21 cSt, a calorific value of 40.63 MJ/kg, and a flash point of 36 °C. Additionally, the oil contained 21.18% phenol compounds. The remaining material from the process, including char, constituted 54% of the original spent bleaching earth mass. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using pyrolysis to convert into a valuable liquid fuel, offering a sustainable approach to manage this hazardous industrial waste while producing energy-rich byproducts. This study underscores the potential of pyrolysis as a waste-to-energy solution and a safer alternative to traditional disposal methods for Spent Bleaching Earth.

Abstract

Metal solid waste from coal combustion (fly ash) is abundant in Indonesia, as an effective and economical adsorbent in neutralizing acid mine drainage (AMD). Given that the continuous utilization of coal produces environmental challenges in the form of AMD containing acid residues and heavy metals such as manganese (Mn), an appropriate treatment solution is required. The adsorption method was chosen due to its simplicity, cost effectiveness, and ability to remove heavy metal pollutants. The purpose of this research is to characterize fly ash before and after heating by SEM and XRD analysis, and evaluate the effect of fly ash physical activation temperature by heating at 100oC and 200oC for an interval of 60 minutes on the characteristics and adsorption ability of fly ash. In addition, this study also evaluated the effectiveness of the adsorbent mass (fly ash before heating and after heating) in increasing pH and reducing Mn concentration in AMD so that it meets the quality standards of Class 1 river water. The results obtained from this study show a fundamental difference in the properties of fly ash before and after heating. Based on BET analysis, the physical activation process resulted in pore enlargement (0.196 nm) and increased surface area of the adsorbent (0.847 m2/g), which significantly affected its binding capacity to solutes (adsorption capacity). The application of fly ash as an adsorbent showed the ability to increase the pH value of acid mine drainage towards neutral conditions. The process of reducing heavy metal ions Mn by using 50 g of fly ash heating at 100oC and 200oC, resulted in a removal percentage of 94.74% and 98.44%. It is hoped that this research can provide innovative and sustainable AMD treatment and increase the use value of fly ash waste.

Abstract

The combustion of coal in power plants (PLTU) generates fly ash containing silica dioxide (SiO?) and alumina (Al?O?), which exhibit promising properties as adsorptive materials. Fly ash, typically regarded as an industrial by-product, has been widely explored for its application as an adsorbent in wastewater purification. One of the most challenging wastewaters is acid mine drainage, characterized by strong acidity (pH < 5), residual contaminants, and elevated concentrations of heavy metal ions such as manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe). When released untreated, this effluent poses significant risks to both surface and groundwater quality in mining areas. This study focuses on the characterization and utilization of fly ash as an adsorbent to neutralize acidity and reduce Mn and Fe concentrations in acid mine drainage. The material was characterized using SEM-EDX and XRD techniques, followed by adsorption experiments. To enhance its properties, fly ash underwent physical activation through heating at 100 °C for 60 minutes. The activation process modified its structure, expanding pore volume and increasing surface area, thereby improving adsorption performance. The experimental results revealed significant differences in the properties of fly ash before and after activation. Activated fly ash effectively raised the pH of acid mine drainage to near-neutral conditions while achieving removal efficiencies of 96.61% for Mn and 83.33% for Fe using 50 g of adsorbent. These findings highlight the potential of fly ash as a low-cost and effective material for acid mine drainage treatment, both for acidity control and heavy metal removal.
