Abstract

Nanocellulose is a type of cellulose that is being widely developed to replace petroleum-based polymers. This material possesses biocompatible properties, is abundant in nature, and is eco-friendly due to its biodegradability, sustainability, and non-toxic nature. Various nanocellulose synthesis methods are employed, including acid hydrolysis, alkaline, mechanical and biological treatments, as well as ionic liquid and deep eutectic solvent methods. The choice of synthesis method greatly influences the particle size and crystallinity of the resulting nanocellulose; hence further investigation is needed to determine the effectiveness of these methods. Nanocellulose finds applications in various fields, such as films, polymers, cosmetics, medical fuels, and energy storage. Among the different nanocellulose synthesis methods, ionic liquid and deep eutectic solvent (DES) methods have environmentally safe waste with better temperature, time, and diameter control compared to other methods. However, the DES method is currently preferred over the ionic liquid method due to the possibility of separating the lignin waste from the solvent.

Abstract

This study evaluated thermodynamically the performance of conversion of palm kernel shells into combustible gas through gasification technology for aggregate heating in a hot-mixed asphalt production plant by developing a thermodynamic model using licensed Aspen Plus v.11 software. The effects of the equivalence ratio (ER) in the gasification process and the amount of combustion air to combustible gas to attain the required aggregate temperature were investigated. The thermodynamic model showed a good agreement with the experimental results based H2 and CO contain in producer gas which provided by maximum root mean square errors value of 8.82 and 6.42 respectively. Gasification of 30–35 kg of palm kernel shells in a fixed-bed gasifier reactor using air as a gasifying agent at an ER of 0.325–0.350 generated gaseous fuel for heating 1 ton of aggregate to a temperature of 180–200°C with combustion excess air 10%–20%.

Abstract

Syngas from biomass gasification is being developed for alternative feedstock in the chemical industry. Palm kernel shell which is generated from palm oil industry can be potentially used as raw material for gasification process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of modified natural zeolite catalysts in steam gasification of palm kernel shells. Mordenite type zeolite was modified by acid leaching to be used as a tar cracking catalyst. Steam gasification was conducted at the temperature range of 750–850 °C and the steam to biomass ratio was in the range of 0–2.25. The result showed that steam gasification of palm kernel shell with the addition of zeolite catalyst at 750 °C and steam to biomass ratio 2.25 could reduce tar content up to 98% or became 0.7 g/Nm3. In this study, gasification of palm kernel shells produced syngas with the hydrogen concentration in the range of 52–64% and H2/CO ratio of 2.7–5.7.

Abstract

Abstract. The tar content in producer gas may cause crusting on the engine if it is utilized as a fuel gas, thus it needs to be removed. This study aims to determine the liquid phase mass transfer coefficient in process of removing tar from producer gas in a packed-bed contactor column. This process is carried out continuously using used-cooking oil as absorbent. This was carried out by contacting the producer gas as a product of cacao pod-husk gasification at temperature range of 491-940°C at a certain counter-current flow rate with used-cooking oil in a column with a Raschig ring packing bed. The study used packed-bed materials with specific surface areas of 29.3927 m²/m³, 49.7532 m²/m³, 95.4113 m²/m³, 96.8182 m²/m³, 101.6840 m²/m³, and 105.0128 m²/m³, and with the linear velocity of used-cooking oil ranging from 0.0229 m/s to 0.0827 m/s. A mass transfer coefficient mathematical model has been constructed based on the research results. The model applies to the ranges (As.dt), (DL/dt.vL), and (µL / ρL.vL.dt) from 2.2397 to 8.0020, 2.26.10-10 to 1.72.10-9, and 0.0331 to 0.3102, respectively, with an average error of 9.33%. The average tar removed was 87%.Keywords:Producer gas, mass transfer coefficient, packed-bed column, tar, used-cooking oil

Abstract

Indigofera tinctoria L. is a natural source of blue dye widely used in various industries, particularly in the textile sector. One of the industries utilizing Indigofera tinctoria L. as a natural dye is CV Indigo Biru Baru, based in Puron Village, Bulu District, Sukoharjo. This company specializes in the production of batik fashion. The waste generated from processing Indigofera tinctoria L. produces significant volumes of organic material, which often goes underutilized and poses a potential environmental pollution risk. This study aims to optimize this waste by converting it into biobriquettes as an alternative fuel source. The production process involves pyrolyzing the waste at temperatures of 300–350℃ for 2 hours, followed by binding with tapioca starch paste at a 10:1 ratio, molding, and quality testing based on SNI (Indonesian National Standard). The biobriquette characterization includes proximate analysis, calorific value measurement, drop test, and yield evaluation. The results showed a moisture content of 6.9665%, ash content of 7.2025%, volatile matter content of 33.522%, fixed carbon content of 52.309%, and a calorific value of 5438.902 cal/g. Meanwhile, the hardness test indicated that only 0.042% of the mass was lost during the drop test, demonstrating excellent physical durability. With its high calorific value and superior physical characteristics, this biobriquette exhibits great potential as a renewable fuel to support sustainable energy transition in Indonesia.

Abstract

One of the causes of environmental pollution is liquid waste generated by industries, especially the printing industry. PT Macanan Jaya Cemerlang is one of the printing industries producing liquid waste that does not meet the quality standards. The purpose of this research is to optimize the performance of Bioky bacteria using the Super Small Vessel in the wastewater treatment plant at PT X Klaten. Treatment involves testing variables such as residence time and bacteria quantity's impact on TSS, MBAS, COD, BOD, pH, and ORP.The study employs anaerobic treatment with observed variables: residence time of 1; 2; and 3 days, and bacteria quantity of 2.4; 3.2; and 4 liters. Samples from each variable are then analyzed for pH, ORP, and TSS. COD, BOD, and MBAS are tested after obtaining the best TSS results from each variable.The research results indicate that longer residence time and increased bacteria quantity lead to greater reduction in TSS, COD, BOD, and MBAS, while pH approaches neutrality. Optimal conditions occur at a 3-day residence time with 4,0 liters of bacteria, resulting in a reduction of TSS, COD, BOD, and MBAS against the inlet by 99.75%, 95.47%, 94.84%, and 26.72%. Although the treated waste doesn't meet the established standards, it effectively reduces the pollution levels in PT X's wastewater. Keywords:Anaerobic, Efficiency, Printing Industry Liquid Waste, Super Small Vessel

Abstract

Electricity generation in Indonesia is mainly generated from non-renewable fuels. Based on these problems, this research utilizes palm kernel shells to be converted into producer gas as secondary fuel for a 5 kW diesel engine. Through a gasification process equipped with a cooling and gas cleaning system, low tar gas is fed to the diesel engine with variations of gas flow rate ratio to combustion air. A dummy load is installed to investigate the effect of load on diesel consumption. The diesel engine vibration increases due to using two fuel types was measured by installing a vibration meter. The research results show that the higher the load and the greater the ratio of producer gas injected, the less diesel consumption. At a gas ratio of 4:1 and an increase of load from 1 to 5 kW, the diesel fuel flow rate reduces by 25 - 31%. The most significant reduction in diesel consumption occurred at a load of 5 kW, valued at 38.49%. On the other hand, increasing the gas ratio causes an increase in diesel engine vibration. The research results showed an increase in engine vibration of 5.84% - 10.25%. The largest vibration was recorded at a load of 5 kW with a value of 92.4 m/s².Keywords:Gasification, Palm Kernel Shell, Dual Fuel Engine, Diesel Consumption, Diesel Engine Vibration
